Regillus, LAKE, lay in Latium, to the south-east of Rome, probably near the modern Frascati; it is celebrated in the semi-legendary history of Rome as the scene (496 B.C.) of a great battle between the Romans and the Latins, fighting on behalf of the banished Tarquin, in which the latter were entirely defeated.
