Pollentia, known today as Pollenzo, was an ancient city on the left bank of the Tanaro. It is now a frazione of Bra in the Province of Cuneo, Piedmont, northern Italy. In antiquity Pollentia belonged to the Ligurian Statielli, Augusta Bagiennorum being 16 km to the south. Its position on the road from Augusta Taurinorum to the coast at Vada Sabatia, at the point of divergence of a road to Hasta, gave it military importance.
