Capitium is mentioned by
Cicero andPtolemy , and appears from the former to have been a place of some importance. He mentions it in conjunction with Haluntium (modernSan Marco d'Alunzio ), Enguium (modern Gangi), and other towns in the northern part of the island, and Ptolemy enumerates it among the inland cities of Sicily. Its situation on the southern slope of the mountains ofCaronia , about 26 km from theTyrrhenian Sea , and the same distance from Gangi (Enguium), accords well with the ancient indications. (Cic. "in Verr." iii. 4. 3; Ptol. iii. 4. § 12; Cluver. "Sicil.")Demographic evolution
