SASSINA (or Sarsina, the modern form)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 227 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SASSINA (or Sarsina, the modern form) , an ancient town of Umbria, Italy, on the left bank of the river Sapis (Savio), 16 m. S. of Caesena (Cesena). In 266 B.C. both consuls, on different
dates
 , celebrated a
triumph
  over the Sassinates, as is recorded in the
Fasti
 , and in the enumeration of the Italian
allies
  of the Romans in 225 B.C. the Umbri and Sassinates are mentioned, on an equal footing, as providing 20,000 men between them. It is possible that the tribus Sapinia (the name of which is derived from the river Sapis) mentioned by Livy in the account of the Roman marches against the Boii in 201 and 196 B.C. formed a
part
  of the Sassinates. The poet
Plautus
  was a native of
Sassina
  (b. 254 B.c.). The town was of some importance, as
inscriptions
  show; these are preserved in the local museum. Remains of several buildings, one of which was probably the public baths, have been found (A. Santarelli in Notizie degli scavi, 1892, 370; A. Negrioli, ibid., 1900, 392). Its milk is frequently mentionedno doubt it was the centre of a pasture districtand it provided a number of recruits for the praetorian guard.
An episcopal see was founded here in the 3rd
century
  A.Q. and still exists. The present town has 2291 inhabitants (commune, 3861).
