It is located on the Via Emilia between Cesena and Forlì. The name of Forlimpopoli derives from the Roman Forum Popilii, most likely connected to the consul Publius Popillius Laenas, who founded it in 132 BC. The area has been inhabited since Palaeolithic times, as proved by recent archaeological discoveries. Later it was settled by the Umbri and the Gauls from the Pianura Padana. In the 1st century BC Forum Popili become a municipium, and flourished due to its location near the important port of Classis, as well as its own agricultural production.
