INDUSTRIA (mod. Monteu da Po)  , an ancient town of Liguria, 20 M . N.E. of Augusta Taurinorum . Its original name was Bodincomagus, from the Ligurian name of the Padus (mod . Po), Bodincus, i.e. bottomless (Plin . Hist . Nat. iii . 122), and this still appears on inscriptions of the early imperial period . It stood on the right bank of the river, which has now changed its course over r m. to the north . It was a flourishing town; with municipal rights, as excavations (which have brought tc. light the forum, theatre, baths, &c.) have shown, but appears to have been deserted in the 4th century A.D . See A . Fabietti in Atti della Societe), di Archeologia di Torino, iii, 17 seq.; Th . Mommsen in Corp .
