The Locative case exists for all
names of towns and cities. The word domus also has a
locative form. The locative is the same in form as the
genitive (singular) for singular place names of the 1st and 2nd
declensions and the ablative (plural) for plural place names.
For all place names of the third declension, the locative is the
same as the ablative (singular and plural) in both the singular and
plural. Here are some common forms for examples:
