FULGINIAE (mod. Foligno)

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 293 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FULGINIAE (mod. Foligno) , an ancient town of
Umbria
 ,
Italy
 , on the later line of the Via Flaminia, 15 M. S. of Nuceria. It appears to have been of comparatively
late
  origin, inasmuch as it had no city walls, but, in imperial times especially, owing to its position on the new line of the Via Flaminia, it must have increased in importance as being the point of departure of roads to Perusia and to Picenum over the pass of Plestia. It appears to have had an
amphitheatre
 , and three bridges over the Topino are attributed to the Roman period. Three miles to the N. lies the independent community of Forum Flaminii, the site of which is marked by the
church
  of S. Giovanni Profiamma, at or near which the newer line of the Via Flaminia rejoined the older. It was no doubt founded by the builder of the road, C. Flaminius,
consul
  in 220 B.C. (See FoLIGI'lo and FLAMINIA, VIA.) (T. As.)
