OCRICULUM (mod. Otricoli)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 992 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
OCRICULUM (mod. Otricoli) , an ancient town of
Umbria
 ,
Italy
 , on the Via Flaminia, near the E. bank of the Tiber, 44 M. N. of Rome and 12 M. S. of Narnia. It concluded an alliance with Rome in 308 B.C. The
modern
 
village
  lies higher than the ancient town, and excavations on the site of the latter in 1775 and following years led to the discovery of the baths, a theatre, a basilica and other buildings. In the baths were found a number of works of art, now in the Vatican, notably the
mosaic
  pavement of the Sala della Rotonda, and the celebrated head of Zeus and the head of
Claudius
  in the same room. An
amphitheatre
  is still visible, but the other buildings have in the
main
  been covered up again.
