Not illustrated. 1878 Excerpt: ...for the next notice of it is that the Gauls marched a third time to this city, just before their defeat near Telamon in 529.5 Clusium, with the other cities of Etruria, assisted Rome in the Second Punic War, supplying the fleet of Scipio with corn, and fir for ship-building.6 More than a century later Sylla defeated an army of his foes near Clusium, which, it is probable, had joined others of the Etruscan cities in espousing the cause of Marius.7 Inscriptions prove Clusium to have continued in existence under the Empire; and she seems, unlike many of her fellows, never to have been utterly desolated or deserted, but to have preserved her name and site from the remotest antiquity to the present day.s Yet so fallen and reduced was this illustrious city in the middle ages, principally through the pestilent vapours of the neighbouring lakes and marshes, that for eight centuries and more, says Repetti, she might be called " a city of sepulchres."

Columella, de Re Rustic, II. 6; cf. Martial, XIII. 8. 1 Vel. Paterc. II. 28; Appian. Rell. Civ. I. 89. An inscription has been found which shows that the Clusini raised a statue to Sylla, two years after this battle, or 80 B.C.
