Via Casilina
The Via Casilina is a medieval road in Latium and Campania. It led from Rome to Casilinum (present-day Capua), to present-day Santa Maria Capua Vetere. It was created from the fusion of two ancient Roman roads, the ''Via Latina'' and the ''Via Labicana''. The Via Labicana led from Rome to '' Labicum'', while the Via Latina ended at Capua. In the Middle Ages, Capua was depopulated and the main settlement shifted to ''Casilinum'', formerly a mere fluvial port. This is also the location of the modern town of Capua.
