Benevento
Italia · Roman province·Italy·Founded 268 BCE (Latin colony)
Roman Beneventum, terminus of the Via Appia and starting point of the Via Traiana. Trajan's Arch here was dedicated in 114 CE — three years old at our snapshot.
A living city of around 55,000 in Campania; the near-intact Arch of Trajan still stands astride a street in the modern town.
