CARSULAE , an See also:

ancient See also:city of See also:Umbria, on the Via See also:Flaminia, 19 M. N. of Narnia (mod. See also:Narni) and 24 M. S.S.W. of See also:Mevania (mod. Bevagna). It is little mentioned in ancient literature. The See also:town was a See also:municipium. The Via Flaminia is well preserved and enters the See also:north See also:gate of the town, the archway of which still stands. Remains of buildings may also be seen upon the site, and the outline of an See also:amphitheatre is visible. The town of Cesi, 3 M. to the See also:south-See also:east, has polygonal walls, and may perhaps be regarded as an Umbrian city which was destroyed by the See also:Romans, Carsulae being constructed in its See also:stead. The See also:medieval city, as so often happened in See also:Italy, returned to the pre-See also:Roman site. See G.
