		Bevagna, the ancient Mevania, is situated on the edge of the wide Umbrian valley, at the extreme offshoots of Martani Mounts.

		Mevania, as it was called during that era, was crossed by the Flaminian Way and was characterised by fertile land and as a result, it developed into an important city.

		Yielding at length to the importunity of the army, which had taken up its position at Mevania, and accompanied by a numerous train of senators, into which many were brought by ambition and more by fear, he entered the camp, undecided in purpose and at the mercy of faithless counsels.
		But now he had a superstitious feeling about the name; and it is a fact that in the moment of terror the counsels of the wise and the voice of the rabble are listened to with equal respect.
		As the occupation of Mevania, and the apparent revival of the war with new vigour, had struck terror into Italy, so now did the timorous retreat of Vitellius give an unequivocal bias in favour of the Flavianists.

	Ponti
		He has published only one book, Mevania Bevagna Beagne, in his native vernacular, which complements, with its new and "startled" expressive potential, the numerous books of poetry in Italian written and published in about twenty-five years (from Al punto zero,1972, to I merli d'Albornoz, 1995).
		And Vivaldi himself, in the preface to Mevania Bevagna Beagne, confirms Ponti's attention to the linguistic medium, underlining "his long and difficult sounding of the semantic and sonorous material."
		Among the available tools, Ponti is very skilled at using irony which, by establishing a firm distance from the subject matter at hand, guarantees a fruitful defense from suffering.

		But the feeling in Vespasian's favour quickly gathered strength, and the armies of Moesia, Pannonia and Illyricum soon declared for him, and made him in fact master of half of the Roman world.
		His troops entered Italy on the north-east under the leadership of Antonius Primus, defeated the army of Vitellius at Bedriacum (or Betriacum) (which had awaited him in Mevania), sacked Cremona and advanced on Rome, which they entered after furious fighting and a frightful confusion, in which the Capitol was destroyed by fire.

		The western route headed towards Carsulae, Statio ad Martis (Massa Martana) and Mevania (Bevagna) and is generally indicated as the older of the two, while the eastern "diverticulum" headed towards Interamna Nahars (Terni) and Spoletium (Spoleto) and was considered to be successive.
