Maleventum

Located 51km east of Capua long the Via Appia, Maleventum was one of the chief cities of the Samnites and didn't fall to Rome until the 3rd Samnite War. As a Roman city, it became known as Beneventum and played a major role in the Pyrrhic and Punic Wars. In 114 AD, the SPQR erected a triumphal arch in the city in honour of the Emperor Trajan.
