AUFIDENA, an ancient city of the Samnites Caraceni, the site of which is just north of the modern Alfedena, 1 Italy, a station on the railway between Sulmona and Isernia, 37 m.
In the Roman period we find Aufidena figuring as a post station on the road between Sulmo and Aesernia, which, however, runs past Castel di Sangro, crossing the river by an ancient bridge some 5 m.
The attempted identification of Castel di Sangro with Aufidena must therefore be rejected, though we must allow that it was probably the Roman post station; the ancient city, since its capture by the Romans in the 3rd century B.C., having lost something of its importance.
