FESCENNIA  , an

ancient city of Etruria, which is probably to be placed immediately to the N. of the modern Corchiano, 6 m . N.W. of Civita Castellana (see FALERII) . The Via Amerina traverses it . G . Dennis (Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria, London, 1883, i . 115 proposed to place it at the Riserva S . Silvestro, 3 M . E. of Corchiano, nearer the Tiber, where remains of Etruscan walls exist . At Corchiano itself, however, similar walls may be traced, and the site is a strong and characteristic one—a triangle between two deep ravines, with the third (west) side cut off by a ditch . Here, too, remains of two bridges may be seen, and several rich tombs have been excavated . See A . Buglione, " Conte di Monale," in Romische Mitteilungen (1887), p .
