The late fifteenth-century antiquarian studies of the Dominican friar and forger Annius of Viterbo (1432/7-1502) exerted a remarkable influence on his contemporaries before his unmasking by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century scholars. However, a close examination of his native city, Viterbo, its history, and its topography reveal that Annius based his fantasies on real documents, real ancient artifacts, and a remarkably intelligent analysis of the city’s physical form and architectural history. Furthermore, his works can prove surprisingly illuminating about Viterbo’s real ancient and medieval past.
