History
Volsinii, also referred to as Volsinii Novi, is thought to be the settlement where Rome resettled the survivors of the Volsinian rebellion of 264 BCE. This episode is discussed by Zonaras (8. 7. 8). A late republican center at Bolsena, Italy, with civic architecture (forum) and domus has been excavated since 1946 by the École Française and is identified as Volsinii Novi.
