    Battaglia del Trasimeno
    The Battle of Trasimeno
    It was June 24, 217 BC, when the Roman army of consul Gaius Flaminius Nepos was trapped in a plain between the lake and the hills, surrounded by the army of the Carthaginian general Hannibal. The battle is one of the most important and dramatic clashes during the Second Punic War, fought in the third century BC between Rome and Carthage for supremacy over the Mediterranean. It is said that more than 15,000 Roman soldiers died there, their bodies burned in pits called ustrina.
    This is evidenced by the numerous artifacts found: coins, weapons, etc. In 1996, the municipality founded the "Permanent Documentation Center on the Battle of Trasimeno" in the immediate vicinity of the historic center.
    A series of panels depicts the entire Second Punic War and the battle itself, based on descriptions by Polybius and Livy.
