CASILINUM (mod. Capua)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 446 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAR-CAU
CASILINUM (mod. Capua) , an ancient city of Campania, Italy, 3 M. N.W. of the ancient
Capua
 . Its position at the point of junction of the Via Appia and Via
Latina
 , and at their crossing of the river Volturnus by a three-arched:
bridge
 , which still exists, gave it considerable importance under the Roman republic; and while the
original
  pre-Roman town, which was doubtless dependent on the neighbouring
Capua
 , stood entirely on the left (S.) bank, surrounded on three sides by the river, the Roman city extended to the right bank also; remains of it have been found at some 25 ft. below the
modern
  ground-level, the river-bed having risen considerably. In the Second Punic War it was occupied by Fabius Cunctator in 217 B.C., taken by Hannibal after a gallant defence by troops from Praeneste and Perusia in the winter of 216-215, but recaptured in the following year, serving the Romans as their base of operations against Capua. It lost its independence and became a praefectura. Caesar conducted a colony thither in 59 B.C., which was renewed by Antony in 44 B.C. The veterans took Octavian's side after Caesar's death, but it seems to have been united with Capua before the time of Vespasian, and it does not occur in the
list
  of independent communities given by Pliny, who indeed (His'. Nat. iii. 70) speaks of the morientis Casilini reliquiae, and only its position at the junction of the roads redeemed it from utter insignificance. (T. As.)
