("Amyclanus" redirects here. For the lake, see Lacus Amyclanus. For the author pseudonymously known as Amyclanus, see William Weathers.) Amyclae or Amyclanus was a Greek city on the coast of Latium (some authors say Campania), between Tarracina and Caieta, which had ceased to exist in the time of Pliny, but had left the name of Sinus Amyclanus to the part of the coast on which it was situated. Its foundation was ascribed to a band of Laconians who had emigrated from the city of the same name near Sparta; and a strange story is told by Pliny and Servius of the inhabitants having been compelled to abandon it by the swarms of serpents with which they were infested.
