The ancient Perusia, now Perugia, first appears in history as one of the 12 confederate cities of Etruria. It is first mentioned in the account of the war of 310 or 309 BC between the Etruscans and the Roman Republic. In 295 BC it took an important part in a rebellion against the Romans and was reduced, with Vulsinii and Arretium (Arezzo), to seek for peace in the following year.
