SAEPINUM (mod. Altilia, near Sepino)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 994 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SAEPINUM (mod. Altilia, near Sepino) , a Samnite town 9 m. S. of the
modern
 
Campobasso
 , on the ancient road from Beneventum to
Corfinium
 . It was captured by the Romans in 293 B.C. The position of the
original
  town is on the
mountain
  far above the Roman town, and remains of its walls in Cyclopean masonry still exist. The city walls (in
opus
  reticulatum) of the Roman town were erected by Tiberius before he became emperor, the date (between 2 B.C. and A.D. 4) being given by an inscription. Within them are remains of a theatre and other buildings, including temples of Jupiter and Apollo, and there still exists, by the gate leading to
Bovianum
 , an important inscription of about A.D. 168, relating to the tratture (see Mum) in Roman days, forbidding the natives to harm the shepherds who passed along them (Corp. inscr. Lat. ix. 2438).
See L. Fulvio in Not. degli scay. (1878), 374.
