Capena (until 1933 called Leprignano) is a town and commune in the province of Rome, Lazio region (central Italy).

History

Its territory was known in ancient times as the "Ager Capenas", which was a Faliscan area adjacent (and culturally allied) to Etruria. It is frequently mentioned alongside of Veii, Falerii and Lucus Feroniae.
