The Silva Ciminia, the Ciminian Forest, was the unbroken primeval forest that separated Ancient Rome from Etruria. According to the Roman historian Livy it was, in the 4th century BCE, a feared, pathless wilderness[1] in which few dared tread.[2]
^Ciminia erat silva tum magis invia atque horrenda...Haud fere quisdam praeter ipsum ducem audebat intrate eam.
