EGIDA (Ancient city) ITALY
Aegida, a town of Istria, mentioned only by Pliny iii. 19. s. 23),
which appears to have been in his time a place of little importance; but from
an inscription cited by Cluverius (Ital. p. 210) it appears that it was restored
by the emperor Justin II. who bestowed on it the name of Justinopolis. This inscription
is preserved at Capo d'Istria, now a considerable town, situated on a small island
joined to the mainland by a causeway, which appears to have been termed Aegidis
Insula, and was probably the site of the Aegida of Pliny.
