Aquino is a town and comune in the province of Frosinone, in the Lazio region of Italy, 12 km northwest of Cassino.
The ancient Aquinum was a municipium in the time of Cicero, and made a colony by the Triumviri. It was crossed by the Via Latina.
Aquinum is thought to be the birthplace of the poet Juvenal, and was that of the emperor Pescennius Niger.
The earliest recorded Catholic Bishop of Aquino was Bishop Giovino in 593AD.
Aquino's patron saint is San Costanzo, or St. Constantius (different from St. Constantius of Perugia).
St. Thomas Aquinas was born in 1225 in the castle of Roccasecca, 8 kilometres northwards.
One of the gates through which the Via Latina passed, now called Porta S. Lorenzo, is still well preserved, and there are remains within the walls (portions of which, built of large blocks of limestone, still remain) of two (so called) temples, a basilica and an amphitheatre.
Outside, on the south is a well-preserved triumphal arch with composite capitals, and close to it the basilica of Santa Maria Libera, a 9th century building in the Romanesque style erected over the remains of an ancient temple of Hercules Liberator, now roofless. Several Roman inscriptions are built into it, and many others that have been found indicate the ancient importance of the place, which, though it does not appear in early history, is vouched for by Cicero and Strabo.

"Being Human" - Amy Aquino
Verse 1:
You try, you try, you strive
You aim to please
But nobody cares, nobody sees
I have a taste for talent wasted
Oh, waste it on me, waste it on me
Chorus:
Bury your shovel by the door
Nail your hammer to the floor
This job is for a gentle hand
You have so much love to give
And I am here to welcome it
As long as you’ve got time to spend
And Ill be the kind of work…
That appreciates your hands
Verse 2:
You’re a hero gone to waste
Untouched, unused
(But) I’ve never been
This beautifully rescued
Medals on your chest No one salutes
