ASISIUM (mod. Assisi), ancient town, Umbria, in a lofty situation about 15m. E.S.E. of Perusia. Finds include traces of city walls, the so-called temple of Minerva (with six Corinthian travertine columns of the Augustan era), now a church, part of the pavement of the forum, and remains of the amphitheatre in the north-east corner. Asisium was the birthplace of the Roman poet Propertius.
