Origin & history
According to the epitaph on the sarcophagus of Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus , consul of Rome in 298 BC, he captured Taurasia (and Cisauna ) from the Samnites . However, modern scholars have ruled out that ancient Taurasia (surely located north-east of Beneventum ) could be related to modern Taurasi.
