1 The people of Fulginium. From Cicero ^xe learn that it was a mu- 

 nicipal town. The modem city of Fohgno has risen on its site. An 

 inscription discovered here has preserved the name of Fulgiaia, probably 

 a local divinity. 



' The people of Forum Flaminii, situated on the Flamioian Way, where 

 it fii'st entered the Apennmes, tln-ee miles h'om Fulginium. It was here 

 that the Emperors GaUus and Tolusianus were defeated and slam by 

 ^mihanus, a.d. 256. The ruins at the spot called Giovanni pro 

 Fiamma mark its site. The site of Forum Julii appears to be imknoTsii, 

 as also that of Forinn Brentani. 



•' The people of Forum Sempronii, the only to^^^l in the valley of tlie 

 Metam'us. The modern city of Fossombrone, two miles distant, has 

 thence taken its name. Considerable vestiges of the ancient town are 

 still to be seen. The battle in which Hasdrtibal was defeated by the Eoman 

 consuls Livius and Nero, B.C. 207, was probably fought in its vicinity. 



"* The people of Iguviiun, an ancient and important town of Umbria. 

 Its site is occupied by the modem city of Gubbio. Interamna on the 

 Kar has been previously mentioned. 



* The people of the town of Mevania, now called Bevagna, in the duchy 

 of Spoleto. The Mevanionenses were the people of Mevanio, or Meva- 

 niola), in the vicinity of Mevania, and thought by Cluver to be the modern 

 Galeata. 



^ Their town was Matihca, which still retains that name. It is situate 

 in the IVfarehes of Ancona. 



7 Their to\vn stdl retains the name of Xami. 



^ Their town was surnamed Favonia and Camollaria, to distinguish 

 it from several others of the same name. The present Nocera stands on 

 its site. 



^ The people of Ocriculum, now Otricoli, previously mentioned. 



^^ According to Hardouin, the ruins of Ostra are those near Monte 

 Xuovo, now Sinigaglia, but D'AnviUe thinks that the modem Corinaldo 

 marks its site. 



'1 Nothing is known of the Plestini, nor yet of the Pitulani, who seem 

 to have been a ditFerent people to those mentioned in the First Region. 



^2 The towTi of Sentis, according to D'AnviUe and Manncrt, was in the 

 vicinity of the modem town of Sasso Ferrato.
