History notes….
“si vis pingues agros et vineas perge Capenam”
that is, if you wish rich fields and vineyards head for Capena.
As Cicerone wrote in its Epistulae quoting the countryside close to the city, already known as the “green lounge” of Rome.
Rich of vineyards and olive groves, this hilly area between the Tiber Valley and the Sabina mountains shows the remains of important noble villas and places of cult.
