Casilinum
Casilinum was an ancient town in Campania, southern Italy, at a crossing of the Volturno river on the Via Appia. It is remembered for its resistance to Hannibal, who besieged it in 216 and 215 BCE. After Arab raiders destroyed ancient Capua in 841, the Lombard counts founded a new Capua on the site of Casilinum in 856, which is the present town of Capua.
