Pastures near the [[Topino|Tinia river]] and the white oxen of the [[Clitunno|Clitumnus River]] (the modern Clitunno) are mentioned by [[Propertius]], whose family was from the area (from [[Assisi]]um, [[Spello|Hispellum]], or Mevania itself): they may refer to Mevania. Mevania is specifically mentioned by the later writers [[Silius Italicus]], [[Lucan (poet)|Lucan]] and [[Statius]].

There are important remains of a temple near the north gate, of a [[Roman theatre (structure)|theatre]] built into modern houses in the (misnamed) via dell'Anfiteatro, lesser remains of a second temple in the church of San Vincenzo near the east gate, mosaics belonging to midsized baths in the via Porta Guelfa, and very scanty remains of an [[amphitheatre]] at some distance from the modern town. The original walls, which have disappeared, were, according to [[Pliny the Elder|Pliny]] ([https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/L/Roman/Texts/Pliny_the_Elder/35*.html#173 Hist. Nat. xxxv.173]), built of unbaked bricks. The town now has a complete circuit of medieval stone walls that are said to be very near, if not identical with, the Roman walls.

After the [[Lombards|Lombard]] conquest, it became the seat of a [[gastald]] in the [[Duchy of Spoleto]], and after the year 1000 it was a free ''comune''. In 1152 [[Frederick Barbarossa]] set it on fire. In 1249 it was again destroyed by the Count of [[Aquino, Italy|Aquino]]. The [[Trinci]] family ruled it from 1371 to 1439. Later it was part of the [[Papal States]] until the [[unification of Italy]].
