Ficulea was an ancient town in Latium in central Italy.
In Rome's early semi-legendary history, the town was part of the Latin League, which went to war with Rome during the reign of Rome's king Lucius Tarquinius Priscus. Ficulea was one of a number of towns captured by Tarquinius.[1]
Archeological excavations near Ficulea can be documented at least as far back as 1824. In 1856–1857 the Sacra Congregatio de Propaganda Fide carried out archeologically successful excavations there.[2]
