Rimini
Rimini (Rémin o Rémne in the Romagnolo dialect, Ariminum in Latin). In 268 B.C., at the estuary of the River Ariminus (today Marecchia), formerly inhabited by the Etruscans, Umbrians, Greeks, Samnites and Gauls, the Romans “founded” the colony of Ariminum and stationed a legion there. It was an important communications route, crossed by no fewer than three of the most important Roman roads: Via Flaminia, Via Emilia and Via Popilia-Annia.
