| In the heart of Abruzzo region, around a lake that was in those days called Lacus Fucinus, in a valley hidden by the hills at the foot of Mount Velino, today the ruins of the most important Roman town in this region can be admired Alba Fucens. The name explains its location, but also the great strategic importance it had for Romans. Alba means height, while Fucens indicates it is near the lake having the same name. |
