Archeological Paths

Carsulae
The rests of the Roman city of Carsulae, the most important archeological site of Roman period in Umbria, is located a few kilometers from Terni and Sangemini, known for the mineral waters. Probably, one of the factors that determined the birth of this center was the presence of sources that were used to power the s.p.a.  But it was above all its location along the Via Flaminia, that helped the growth and the development of Carsulae, that in the 1st century A.C. was a important Roman center.    
The Via Flaminia was opened between 220 and 219 B.C. and the Carsulae foundation was made after few years.      
However, a few witnesses of this phase of its history remains.  The archaeological excavations, especially those carried out between 1951 and 1972, have brought to light part of the urban layout built between the 1st century B.C. and the 1st century B.C. Right from the remains of the buried buildings, scholars have evinced that in this period, Carsulae was a prosperous city. 
The itinerary includes the “Foro”, “Gemini temples”, “San Damiano Church”, the basilica, the amphitheatre, the theatre and “San Damianio arch”.  Outside the town centre, there are the remains of important funerary monuments. The tour winds along the urban stretch of the Via Flaminia, which was the cardo maximus of the city.  Carsulae was definitively abandoned between the 3rd and 4th century A.C. and also for a less rilevant role for the commerce that progressively had the branch of the Flaminia along which this Roman centre was located.
