FULGINIA (Foligno) Umbria, Italy.

A late unwalled praefectura on the Via Flaminia. It prospered under the Empire, owing to its situation at a crossroads and its connections with Perusia and Picenum by the pass of Plestia. It was inscribed in the tribus Cornelia.

The ancient town lies under the modern one; the most significant remains are four Roman bridges, close together. Remains of an amphitheater lie E of the town site. There is a Museo Civico in Palazzo Trinci.
