Interamnia

Interamnia – also, Interamna (Greek: Ἰντέραμνα) or Interamnium (Greek: Ἰντεράμνιον) – is an ancient Latin placename, meaning "between rivers". There were at least three towns of ancient Italy so named:

Interamna Nahars (or Nahartium), the modern Terni: the rivers are the Nera and the Serra
Interamna Praetutiana (or Interamna Praetutianorum), the modern Teramo: the rivers are the Tordino and the Vezzola
Interamna Lirenas, no modern successor, on the Liri River
