CLASTIDIUM (mod. Casteggio)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 462 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CLASTIDIUM (mod. Casteggio) , a
village
  of the Anamares, in Gallia Cispadana, on the Via Postumia, 5 M. E. of Iria (mod.
Voghera
 ) and 31 M. W. of Placentia. Here in 222 B.C. M.
Claudius
  Marcellus defeated the Gauls and won the spolia opima; in 218 Hannibal took it and its stores of corn by treachery. It never had an independent government, and not later than 190 B.C. was made
part
  of the
colony
  of Placentia (founded 219). In the Augustan division of
Italy
 , however, Placentia belonged to the 8th region, Aemilia, whereas Iria certainly, and Clastidium possibly, belonged to the 9th, Liguria (see Th. Mommsen in Corp. Inscrip. Lat. vol. v. Berlin, 1877, p. 828). The remains visible at Clastidium are scanty; there is a fountain (the
Fontana
  d'Annibale), and a Roman
bridge
 , which seems ,to have been constructed of tiles, not of
stone
 , was discovered in 1857, but destroyed.
See C. Giulietti, Casteggio, notizie storiche II. Avanzi di antichitd (
Voghera
 , 1893).
