thumb|300px|Via Collatina, from Rome to Collatia Collatia was an ancient town of central Italy, c. 15 km northeast of Rome by the Via Collatina.

It appears in the legendary history of Rome as captured by King Tarquinius Priscus. Vergil speaks of it as a Latin colony of Alba Longa. In the time of Cicero it had lost all importance; Strabo names it as a mere village, in private hands, while for Pliny it was one of the lost cities of Latium.
