It became the chief town of the Hirpini after Benevento Beneventum had become a Rome Roman colony . Lucius Cornelius Sulla Sulla captured it in 89 BC by setting on fire the wooden breastwork by which it was defended, and new fortifications were erected. Hadrian , who repaired the Via Appia from Beneventum to this point, made it a colony it has ruins of the city walls, of an aqueduct Roman aqueduct , baths and an amphitheatre nearly 400 inscriptions have also been discovered. Two different routes to Apulia diverged at this point, one Via Aurelia Aeclanensis leading through the modern Ariano to Herdoniae , the other the Via Appia of the Empire passing the Ampsanctus Lacus Ampsanctus and going on to Aquilonia and Venusia while the road from Aeclanum to Abellinum mod.

According to tradition, she was also Queen, married to King Inge II of Sweden . A year given for her death is 1117. Biography Ragnhild is said to have founded the church of S dert lje and have her burial place there. If she is a historical person, she probably lived during the late 11th or early 12th century, but no sources that mention her can be dated earlier than the 15th century. An epitaph in the church, probably dating from that period, was later copied by the late 17th century antiquarian Elias Palmski ld . In various 15th century literary sources, she is claimed to have been a queen, the daughter of a certain Halsten it is uncertain whether the king Hallsten Stenkilsson is intended and queen of either Inge I of Sweden Inge the Elder or Inge II of Sweden Inge the Younger either of which would for genealogical and chronological reasons contradict her being the daughter of king Halsten . 15th century wall paintings depicting Ragnhild can be found in the churches of B rje and Viksta in Uppland , and En nger in H lsingland all three in the archdiocese of Uppsala . The interest in Ragnhild as in some other medieval local saints was revived after the Protestant Reformation through the general interest in Swedish antiquities that flourished in 17th century Sweden. In her case, the publication of Vitis aquilonia by Johannes Vastovius in 1623 caused a re interpretation of the human figure in the seal of the City of S dert lje as a depiction of Ragenilda.
