other and more inland Pentapos from which this WAS
often distinguished by the epithet "Msrma" 10 l2oo'

PKRUGIA.
This city the southern slope OF the Apenuines OPP
poste to the side which the cities which have Just
described situated. II the only the Medi-
terranean side Of the Apennlnes which, rs far as We
have heard has yet revolted, We except the mani

of the most important cities OF the Eruscan Isague
and became Of the Italian republics in the Middle
Ages. OF its history in Etruscan times little more Ia
known than that its citzens three times defeated by
Fabus and that fell ier the power of Rome when all
the other cities Of Esrs lost their independence II
besieged by Augustus who starved into DER but
Of the inhabitants set fire to his house, and the
whole city was consumed Augustus rebuilt it as Roman
colony and commemoraed the event by the inscriptions
which still visible two OF its gates which thus
rs old as Christianity. Its history the Middle Ages is
not less interesting than tina. OF Bologna although the
struggles Of this free city against tho gro wing power OF
the Popes and the contests which followed between the
popular party and the nobes differ little from thoss which
were the precursors Of the fall Of nearly all the Italian
republics But the events which peculiarly mark the his
tory Of this city bring before Of the most exaor
binary men whose characters formed by the Cir
cumsances Of this eventful period This celebrated per-
sonsge, Bracco da Montone (surnamed Fortebracio),
the rival OF Sorza, and, like him, the founder Of
new school Of military tactics born at Pc
rugia As the commander OF the Fiorentine
army he attacked his native city after its surrender to
the King Of Naples who supported by his great rival
Sierra. Braccio commenced this memorable siege Of
Peruga in 14l6 the inhabitants calamity resisted and at
length called TO their aid Maasesa, Lord Of Rimni who
defeated by OF Braooo's heuteuants. The ciu
zens surrendered and received Braccio their lord
His rule marked with wisdom; he reunited the fac
tons and administered justice with an impartial hand
The political existence Of Peruga ended at his DEATH and
the city returned under the dominion Of the Church Its
affairs administered by the Bagon family, under
the authority Of the Popes but the ambition Of this noble
house brought them into collision both with the people
and the Holy See. After several contests for the
premacy Pope Paul Ill succeeded in reducing the city
subsection and after destroying all the remains of It's
citadel ectual Of depressing any future out
break From hat time Perugia has with few exceptions
remained in passive obedience to the Church. During
the French invasion 1t shared the fate OF other Cities and
became Of the component parts Of the Italian republic
This city has gwen birth to the great painter Petro
Perugino In 1910 metropolis was discovered near 1t
beneath the earth, in which revealed most magnf-
cent tombs.
Considerable portions Of the walls and the foundations
Of the ancient gates still preserved The celebrated
gateway called the Arch OF Augustus from the inscrip
lion "Augusta Perusia" over it, ordered by Augustus
himself is the finest of the gates, and is snked by two
towers These remains grand specimens of Eruscan
architecture
Ten miles to the west Of Perugia is the beautiful Lake of
nrasimene, in q basin surrounded by the Apennines,
and famous for the defeat Of the Romans by Han
nbai, who hemmed them in en- every side. Such WAS
the slaughter that little locality ia ever
snce called he of blood" So desperately did the
Romans eight that they needed an earthquake which
occurred at the time, and overthrow many cities and
even mountains in various parts Of Italy Lord Byron
thus makes aluson to it,

Fatal to Roman rashness ct home:
For there the Carthagenian's warlike wiles
Come back before me, bis skill beguiles
The host between the mountains and the shore,
Where Courage fails in her despairing dies,
And torrents swollen to rivers win tneir gore,

Like to q forest felpd by mountain wiads;
And such the storm of battle this day
And such the frenzy whose convulsion blinds
To all save carnage that, beneath the fray
An earthquake reel'd unheededly away
None felt stern Nature rocking at his feet,
And yawnng forth grave for those who lay
Upon their bucklers for q winding sheet:
