Antium was an ancient coastal town in Latium, south of Rome. An oppidum was founded by people of Latial culture (11th century BC or the beginning of the 1st millennium BC), then it was the main stronghold of the Volsci people until it was conquered by the Romans.
In some versions of Rome's foundation myth, Antium was founded by Anteias, son of Odysseus.
The territory of Roman Antium almost entirely corresponded to modern Anzio and Nettuno.
