I suppose this means that the place we are looking for is now in Northern Italy and lies either inland on the Via Cassia or nearer the coast on the Via Amelia/ Amelia Scauri.

 

I would guess that we are probably looking at the northern end so guess somewhere between Pisa and Genoa on the Via Amelia Scauri. :unsure:/>

No, it used to be easier to take the Via Flaminia to cross the Apennines.

So you have to look south of the Via Aemilia.

Next clue:
Magister Militum Narses must have passed through this place just before encountering the army of Totila, about 50 km south.
The latter was killed in this battle.

Next clue:

Nearby Hasdrubal Barca was defeated and beheaded in 207 BC during the Second Punic war in a battle, which is named after a river that flows also through this city.
