Ancient Sources

	Author	Title	Date	References
5	C. Plinius Secundus (Pliny the Elder)	Natural History	1c AD	N.H. III.xiv.113 A single passing mention of Hispellum among the towns of Regio VI Umbria.
5	Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy)	Geography	2c AD	Geog. 3.1 lists Hispellum among the towns of the Umbri, at 42°30N and 35°40 East of the Blessed Isles.     Since by Ptolemy's reckoning, Rome is at 41°40N and 36°40 East of the Blessed Isles and by modern reckoning, it is at 41°54N 12°29E, Ptolemy can be said to put Hispellum at roughly 42°44N 11°29E.     The modern value: 43°00N 12°42E. I'm inclined to believe textual corruption for 11°42E, since a full degree of longitude off over much less than 100 miles, in a well-known central area of Italy, seems improbable.
5	Strabo	Geography	1c A.D.	Geog. v.2.10 mentions Hispellum in passing, as being to the left of the Via Flaminia as you travel from Rome to Ariminum. (From the chapel of the Madonna della Fiamenga on the N outskirts of Foligno, Spello is indeed about 3 Roman miles N of the Flaminia, which at this point is an E‑W road.)
