Flaminian Way (Lat. via Flaminia), the principal road leading from ancient Rome to the northern provinces, constructed in 220 B. C, in the censorship of C. Flaminius, from whom it was named. It extended to Arimi-num, now Rimini, on the Adriatic, about 220 m., where it joined the Aemilian way. It divided into two branches at Narnia, now Narni, in Umbria, which met at Fulginium (Foligno), again dividing at Nuceria (Nocera), and meeting at Fanum Fortunao (Fano). It had great commercial and military importance, and still retains many of the works erected by the Roman emperors.
