Falerii

Falerii was an ancient city in Italy, originally settled by the Etruscans before becoming part of the Roman Republic. Known for its well-fortified walls and strategic location, it served as a significant center of Etruscan and early Roman civilization. In 241 BCE, Rome captured and destroyed Falerii during their expansion. Today, the site contains archaeological remains, including city walls and artifacts, offering insights into Etruscan and early Roman life. Its history reflects the broader rivalry and cultural exchanges between the Etruscans and Romans in ancient Italy.
