includes the remains of the homonymous Roman city erected along the <strong>Via Flaminia<\/strong>, an important consular road built between 220 and 219 BC.<\/p>\n<p>Within this archaeological park, it is possible to discover the urban structure of a Roman city and its main gathering places such as the amphitheatre, the forum and the temple.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it has not yet been possible to identify the intended use of all the archaeological evidences of Carsulae, but this makes its visit even more fascinating.<\/p>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;

in fact, the reasons for its progressive abandonment have not yet been fully clarified.<\/p>\n<p>Probably the first settlements of Carsulae date back to the tenth century BC but only during the <strong>Roman Era<\/strong> from the fourth century BC, thanks to the construction of the <strong>Via Flaminia<\/strong>, a consular road that connected North and South Italy, this town flourished and developed reaching considerable dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>The golden age of Carsulae lasted until the III century AD, then the progressive loss of importance of the Via Flaminia and the attempts of conquest by the <strong>barbarian peoples<\/strong> favoured its decline.<\/p>\n<p>The total abandonment of this town occurred during the Middle Ages, probably due to a terrible <strong>earthquake<\/strong> but there is no written testimony of this catastrophic event.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-528 aligncenter\"
