Perusia

settlement · 750 BC – 2100 AD

A city of ancient Umbrian and Etruscan origin, Perusia aided Rome during the Second Punic War but was sieged and reduced by Octavian in the first century B.C. during campaigns against Lucius Antonius. It was rebuilt by Augustus and became Colonia Vibia Augusta Perusia quite late, in A.D. 251-3, under Trebonianus Gallus.
