About Alba Fucens, Abruzzo
Alba Fucens was founded in 303 BCE as a Latin colony by Rome in the mountainous Abruzzo region, securing territory taken from the Aequi and Marsi peoples. It held a hilltop position along a key route through the central Apennines and later served as a place of exile for enemies defeated by Rome. It anchored Roman control over central Italy.
