It led from the Porta Latina in the Aurelian walls of Rome to the pass of Mount Algidus; it was important in the early military history of Rome.

The specific epithet "alba" is Latin for "white". Within the wagtail genus "Motacilla", the white wagtail's closest genetic relatives appear to be other black-and-white wagtails such as the Japanese wagtail, "Motacilla grandis", and the white-browed wagtail, "Motacilla madaraspatensis" (and possibly the Mekong wagtail, "Motacilla samveasnae", the phylogenetic position of which is mysterious), with which it appears to form a superspecies.
