The Lancia Astura, a passenger car produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Lancia between 1931 and 1939
The site is apparently to be sought in the North-Western portion of the district between the sea, the river Astura and the Alban Hills; but it cannot be more accurately fixed (the identification with Monte Giove, South of the Valle Aricciana, rests on no sufficient evidence), and even in the time of Pliny it ranked among the lost cities of Latium.
On 8 September 1268, Gertrude's son Frederick, who had accompanied Conradin on his Italian expedition, was captured in Astura to the south of Anzio.
The king even sent a hostile fleet to the Roman coast and destroyed the city of Astura by fire.
Severinus also supposedly prophesied the destruction of Astura, Austria by the Huns under Attila.
