CARSULAE  , an

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