Talk:Blue Amberol Records

untitled
What's the purpose of this page? Is this planned to be a listing of all Blue Ameberol titles?

Some explanation and a link to Edison Records would probably be usefull. If nothing else is done with this page, it might be better just making it a redirect to Edison Records. Wondering, -- Infrogmation 00:44, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)

From Votes for deletion

 * Bullet Records, Blue Amberol Records, Blue Amberol Records Part 2, Black & White Records, Black & White Records Part 2 - catalogs of various record companies. unencyclopedic. - Efghij 02:52, 2 Aug 2003 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not paper; in cases of historic labels where it is clearly not advertising, I don't object to having such lists of minutia if someone wishes to take the trouble to make them. I don't feel particularly strongly about this, but I don't see any particular need to delete. -- Infrogmation 18:37, 3 Aug 2003 (UTC)
 * I entered these lists. The information is not available elsewhere on the internet.  However the Blue Amberol label is covered more completely in book form and I would not mind if it was deleted.  With Bullet and Black and White, I am hoping that collectors will help fill the gaps.  JohnRogers
 * Leave 'em all. There should be more info about the labels in addition to release list. I can add a bit on Blue Amberol myself. -- Infrogmation 20:28, 9 Aug 2003 (UTC)
 * I say delete the lists. They are far from complete, haven't been updated in ages, and a complete list would be between 4000-5000 titles which doesn't seem appropriate for an encyclopedia. Discographic information is largely available (except for foreign Blue Amberols) in Alan Sutton's book and is also online (as an excel spreadsheet) at the Truesound discography page. - Babaluma

Page merge/reformat
Nice work, 128.187.232.208, on consolodating the "Blue Amberol Records Part 2" material and reformatting the page... except links to a number of people we have articles on (like Billy Murray (singer)) seem to have been taken out in the process for no reason I can see. -- Infrogmation 07:07, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Hm. I'd quite like to see those links back in the article. I've left a note at the top of Blue Amberol Records Part 2 asking it NOT be deleted until either we reincorporate relevent links or I have some understanding on why anon thinks they shouldn't be linked. -- Infrogmation 07:14, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

clean-up Blue Amberol Records
First-off, the page is poorly written. I have cleaned it up a bit. Secondly, I feel that the listings of titles should be removed in their entirety. The entry is much too long. I have corrected some dates; these are cited in Alan Sutton's excellent publication, "Blue Amberol Records: A Discography", Mainspring Press, (c) 2005. ISBN 0-9671819-5-X. Lastly, I do not vote for the deletion of the page, nor should it be merged with the phonograph cylinder page or the Edison page.--Jslasher 01:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Don't delete the listings of titles, I've found them very useful in identifying various unreadable labels. Also, there are so many stupid, pointless lists in WP, one more won't hurt. But you're welcome to bring it into a nice format :) Kar98 02:45, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I moved the list to List of Blue Amberol Records, as I felt its length warranted its own article. I also made an attempt at making Blue Amberol Records look more like a Wikipedia article. I think it now does at first glance, but still needs some work.boffy_b 01:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Reproducer Types
The Edison reproducer types mentioned in the article don't tie up with any of the known Reproducer models produced by the various Edison companies. The article refers to a combination reproducer 'M' for playing 2 and 4 minute cylinders. In fact the only combination reproducers were the 'K' and the 'O', the latter being relatively rare. It refers to the Amberolas being fitted with Diamond 'A' reproducers. In fact they were fitted with model 'H' reproducers fitted with a diamond stylus ('H' reproducers were also available with saphire styli for playing wax cylinders). The diamond 'C' reproducer never existed as the model 'C' would only play 2 minute cylinders which were never available from Edison in celluloid (diamond can only be use play celluloid cylinders). 20.133.0.13 (talk) 12:51, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Surrealist techniques

Comments
More work needs to be done to distinguish between the spiritualistic automatism of Yeates (excerpted, so how automatic it is is very debatable) and surrealist automatism. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:28 Oct 9, 2002 (UTC)

Mbecker has done a very fine job of modifying this article and pointing out an important wrinkle detracting from the "automatic" nature of coulage. Good show! --Daniel C. Boyer 00:46, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)

 * Why thank you ;) MB 01:05, Jul 30, 2003 (UTC)

The ceromancy mention is good. I'd not heard of this before. --Daniel C. Boyer 19:26, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)

What on earth does it mean, in the discussion here of the "echo poem", "Within the surrealist style"? There is no "surrealist style"! --Daniel C. Boyer 18:50, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)

In addition to other problems with this statement: " Some surrealists consider automatism and surrealist games to be sources of inspiration only. Others consider them as starting points for finished works. Some consider the items created through automatism to be finished works themselves, needing no further refinement," certainly the "indecipherable writing" methods are always, or at least almost always, regarded by their practicioners as "finished works," but this description in and of itself is problematic, as in Dialectique de Dialectique Luca and Trost talked about generating visual works purely "scientifically", and ending production of visual works by pictorial means; the whole point was to get outside of the category of "artwork" in which an artist, through inspiration, makes a work. Surautomatism is supposed to go even beyond automatic drawing in that these "indecipherable writing" works would limit as far as possible the conscious or even subconscious or unconscious role of the artist. --Daniel C. Boyer 14:03, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I still have not received an adequate explanation for why all of these articles have been redirected and merged here. But let's leave that aside for the moment. I want to know how including the French Wikipedia article on the movement of liquid down a vertical surface should be dealt with if these are going to be merged here. --Daniel C. Boyer 20:05, 14 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Wik may well have been right in removing surrealist games; while deserving of its own article, this only overlaps surrealist techniques and so perhaps should not be linked from here. --Daniel C. Boyer 15:14, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

This article is in need of some serious references for a lot of the techniques so that dates, names, etc can be checked. For example, of the 4,520 Google hits I got for Marcel Mariën, only 3 showed up for Etrécissements. Two of these were on Wikipedia and the other was a genovese site. So effectively, no verification was available. Bmills 14:52, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * I'd like some clarification on why you say this re the Genovese site. --Daniel C. Boyer 16:43, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

On decretages and depliages
The "decretage" entry was listed on votes for deletion and deleted on December 6, 2003 on the grounds that it was made up or idiosyncratic. Then January 30, 2004 an entry entitled "depliage" was created by the same user who had created "decretage". This entry was the same as the deleted "decretage" entry except the word "depliage" was substituted in place of "decretage". The "deplage" entry was deleted on February 3, 2004 since recreation of a page that had been deleted after going through votes for deletion (even under a new title) is grounds for instant deletion. Inserting the information here to subvert the normal deletion process will be treated no differently. Maximus Rex 17:36, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * But I would question this. Don't we regard articles with different titles as different articles?  I don't think there is any precedent for this whatsoever, or any discussion about this, but if I'm wrong, please point it out.  Furthermore, it is even more questionable to think that deleting information in another article is necessitated by the deletion of the article itself, as it would by no means clear that it is the information per se that is offending; perhaps the subject-matter is too trivial for its own article and should be subsumed into another article.  In my view none of these points has been adequately dealt with.  Any thoughts from anyone?  --Daniel C. Boyer 15:24, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * Given that the depliages material was added to this article on Feb 4, it's as clear-cut a case of trying to circumvent a VfD vote as I've seen. Bmills 15:54, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * This doesn't even remotely address my questions. --Daniel C. Boyer 13:11, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Haifa method
The reversion to remove the material on the Haifa method is another example of what, to me, is the lack of clarity about the policy, or about what should be done, about this sort of thing. The fact that the content of a deleted article, or a paraphrase, summary, or the same factual material as, the content, or indeed any information about the subject of the deleted article, is later included in another article, I don't believe to be per se determinative that that information should be deleted if it is included in another article, particularly insofar as the deletion may well not have been due to the content. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or could anyone point out any policy or supportive material on this point? --Daniel C. Boyer 19:06, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I restored a bunch of text inexplicable removed... -- BCorr ¤ Брайен 19:36, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)

The person claiming to be Richard Genovese is trying to delete anything remotely related to him. RickK 03:00, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

When this page is unprotected, information on photographic decalcomanias should be added to it, perhaps as a subheading under decalcomanias. --Daniel C. Boyer 16:00, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Article seems to have been vandalised; recent edits inaccessible
Hello, the article appears to have been vandalised today (unless "gaygaygayg" is supposed to be an example of surrealist techniques, ha ha.) For some reason the more recent edits seem to have disappeared from the database, and so I can't restore them. Could someone wiser in the Ways of the MediaWiki please look into this?)

Examples (Outgraph)
How's about those of us with the wherewithall to do so, make some examples expressesly for this page? Not copyrighted, not bylined. I've been trying to figure out a way to do bulletism with the resources I have. >>sparkit| TALK << 00:44, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

Outagraph image
I've put back the outagraph image which User:Classicjupiter2 has repeatedly removed. Whether Mr. Boyer engages in "self promotion" or not, he has been good enough to upload an original image under GFDL which illustrates the point, and Wikipedia seems to have no other (much less any better) outagraph image. Noting that differences with another editor are not a legitimate reason for removing a free use image which illustrates a point in the article, I fail to see the basis for removing the image from the article. Classicjupiter: offer a good explanation of why the article is bettter without the image or stop removing it. -- Infrogmation 14:16, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Ok, Daniel can keep his outagraph in the article. I also think he should be entitled to mention his essays as well. I did get to finally read the entire Ron Sakolsky book, "Surrealist Subversions" and Daniel's essays in the book were real good. I also liked Nancy Joyce Peter's essays on Surrealism and late night horror movies too.Classicjupiter2 01:15, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, thank you about my essays (articles), but I don't think they have any bearing on surrealist techniques or are significant/relevant enough to another article for an allusion to them therein (correct me if I'm overlooking something). --Daniel C. Boyer 23:15, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Daniel, I know that. I just mentioned that I read your essays in Ron's book. The Seattle one especially was really good, very intense.Classicjupiter2 00:04, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank you again; I just wondered if there is any significance as regards the surrealist techniques article. --Daniel C. Boyer 20:30, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

 * For future reference, User:Daniel C. Boyer is a community-banned long-term spammer who should simply be reverted on sight. EEng 03:14, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Grattage
The articles Max Ernst and Surrealist techniques both describe grattage as scraping (usually dry) paint off the canvas. However, the Tate Gallery and the website articons.co.uk  both describe it as a variation of frottage using paint instead of a pencil. All of the sites I have found that back up the Wikipedia description have been mirrors of the Wikipedia article Max Ernst. Can anyone determine which description is accurate? Justin Foote 21:20, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

"Creativist"
Should explain in article what this means or link to a new article on Creativism. --Daniel C. Boyer 17:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Entoptic graphomania
What does it mean to say that "dots are made at the sites of impurities in a blank sheet of paper, and lines are then made between the dots"? Specifically, what are "site of impurities"? Does this simply mean putting a dot on any flaw in the paper surface? Z Wylld 20:33, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Pretty much (I've made quite a few). --Daniel C. Boyer 21:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Deleted the "(sometimes erroneously referred to as 'entopic graphomania')" phrase, since the topic heading is the same as the "erroneous reference". Either correct the original phrase or have the "correction" differ from the original. Kept the references.

Surrealist games
I decided to be bold and merge the Surrealist games article back into this article. It was a stub, with very little content, and after an edit, it is only a paragraph. I also intend to merge the Time Travellers Potlatch into this article, in the games subsection, because its article is puny and unreferenced. Any thoughts? --- RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  01:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Excessive titles
In my opinion, the title/text ratio is completely wrong. If others agree, I would like to restructure the page something like

Aerography is a technique in which a 3-dimensional object is used as a stencil with spraypainting.

Automatisms are used in multiple fields:
 * Automatic drawing
 * Automatic painting
 * Automatic writing
 * Automatic poetry is poetry written using the automatic method. It has probably been the chief surrealist method from the founding of surrealism to the present day.  One of the oddest uses of automatic writing by a great writer was that of W. B. Yeats. His wife, a spiritualist, practised it, and Yeats put large chunks of it into his prose work, A Vision and much of his later poetry. Yeats, however, was not a surrealist.

Automatic poetry generators exist online, but they do not actually generate automatic poetry in this sense.

The Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal used the method of automatic text in his famous book I served a British king. One chapter in the book is written as a single sentence, and at the end of the book Hrabal endorses the use of automatic writing.

Bulletism is shooting ink at a blank piece of paper. The artist can then develop images based on what is seen.

etc etc. I tend to think this would be far easier to read and to be honest less ugly typographically. Any thoughts? Pietrow ☏ 15:41, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Jebus

Jebus vs. Jeebus (in SImpsons)
Jebus (The Simpsons) leads to Homer Simpson, where it's mentioned as "Jeebus" not "Jebus". A misleading redirect it is. --Menchi 07:06, Aug 2, 2003 (UTC)

Move to articles
Following edits made by 216.239.89.53 and 62.30.39.217 need to be moved to the respective articles if any Jay 16:47, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Simpsons Reference
JEBUS - Definition: Homer Simpson's version of Christ.

Homer Simpson coined this term when he shouted: "I can't be a missionary! I don't even believe in Jebus!" and "Oh save me Jebus !!!", following his forced exile to a missionary outpost in a remote tropical island.

Family Guy Reference
In the Family Guy episode 'Holy Crap', one of the Pope's aides, who is reading the bible is heard to say "Hey, have you ever noticed this? On page 375 it says 'Jebus'!". Another aide says "It's supposed to be 'Jesus', Right?".

Many believe the use of Jebus in Family Guy was stolen from The Simpsons, but the Family Guy episode aired first. An easter egg near the end of the Simpsons episode showing the Family Guy logo indicated that in fact the Simpsons' writers were referencing Family Guy.

Jeebus history
There are claims the related word "Jeebus" is used in Frank Zappa's Them or Us. Others state that it was originally a, somewhat sincere, mistaken pronunciation some African American Christians made in the Old South. Or that it was a racial slur about the alleged "bad english" of African Americans. In any event I personally think it's very unlikely it originated in the Simpsons or Family Guy as I had heard it before either. I might have to look through one of the books I read on Nancy Astor because I think she used something like it to mock black English back in the 1930s.--T. Anthony 03:53, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Scratch that. I checked lyrics for that album, but "Jeebus" wasn't in it.--T. Anthony 04:00, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I've heard "Jeebus" almost everytime I tried to listen to a black gospel radio station, that's how the term became known to me. Guanaco152003 12:35, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Purpose??
What is this "disambiguation" page really good for? The first three bullet points all refer to the same thing, namely Jerusalem prior to the alleged conquest by the biblical David. And the "Jebusite" article contains links to this article. There should be a "Jebus (Bible)" article, also to make clear that the term "Jebus" lacks non-biblical confirmation. Rabbinical writings or the text of the Tanakh/Bible are insufficient to constitute factual accuracy about an ancient settlement. The Simpson thing clearly lacks notability (although I kinda like the Simpsons). Cush (talk) 18:05, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The Simpsons/Family Guy sense is presumed notable for now bcz of better-than-dictdef coverage on Bible errata, tho the Missionary: Impossible coverage is too slight to lk to. Whether because they believe "Jebus" to be a fort, city, or region inhabited by the Jebusites, a lk to that article is appropriate for those who either remember only that conjectural place name or don't expect a "Jebusite" article any more than they expect a Minneapolitan one. It's also possible that Jebus (fortress) ("fortress on the hill of Zion captured by King David") will be written, or that History of Jerusalem, Timeline of Jerusalem, History of ancient Israel and Judah, or United Monarchy will be expanded to discuss Jerusalem in the period when it is said to have been called "Jebus", thus justifying Dab'n to them from the "Jebus" Dab. However, under no circumstances could the following information, previously continuing the "*Jerusalem – Jebus ..." entry, be part of a Dab page:
 * (יבוס, Standard Hebrew Yəvus, Tiberian Hebrew Yəḇûs) was the name of Jerusalem before it was captured by the Israelites (Joshua 18:28; Judges 19:10-14; 1 Chronicles 11:4-5); however, the Amarna letters suggest that the pre-Israel Canaanite population also called the city Jerusalem.
 * --Jerzy•t 06:36, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Jebus means threshing floor. The threshing floor was on the ophel, not Mt. Moriah to the north. This lends to the belief the Jewish Temples were on Mt. Zion instead of Mt. Moriah — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.234.213.31 (talk) 23:04, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Urantia Book
93:2.4 Within a few years Melchizedek had gathered around himself a group of pupils, disciples, and believers who formed the nucleus of the later community of Salem. He was soon known throughout Palestine as the priest of El Elyon, the Most High, and as the sage of Salem. Among some of the surrounding tribes he was often referred to as the sheik, or king, of Salem. Salem was the site which after the disappearance of Melchizedek became the city of Jebus, subsequently being called Jerusalem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.82.127.35 (talk) 03:39, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Holley Mims

Holley Mims (February 10, 1929 – January 13, 1970) was a highly regarded middleweight boxer during the 1950s and 1960s. His overall record 64-27-6 (13 KOs) meant that he spent much of his career ranked among the top ten boxers in the middleweight category. Among his notable fights was a loss to Rubin Carter in 1962, a fight that he took on one day's notice, having flown into New York City just prior the fight; Mims dropped Carter in round four. Because of the loss, Mims dropped out of The Ring's list of the top-ten middleweights contenders. Holley fought Sugar Ray Robinson and lost. Some say Robinson only won by decision and that Mims was the real winner. Mims was known for fast hands and quick punches. They fought at what was Turner's Area on 14th and W sts NW DC. Mims fought with a team that met around age 16 or 17 at the YMCA 12st between S and T Sts NW. Their team, Mims, Garland Edwards (whom Mims fought twice and won, once by split decision), Rocky Farrell, Arthur Bethea, Sam Jefferson. and many other notable boxers and athletes (Walter 'Tommy' Thompson, weightlifter) over the years, trained at Finleys Gym owned by Jim Finley, well known and loved in DC. Mims died of a kidney ailment at the age of 42. He was survived by a wife and two children.

Puma Jones

Sandra "Puma" Jones (October 5, 1953—January 28, 1990) was an American singer, best known as a member of the Grammy Award-winning reggae group Black Uhuru.

Career
Born in Columbia, South Carolina, Jones graduated from Columbia University in New York City with a master's degree and served as a social worker. She studied dance with the Chuck Davis troupe where she took a particular interest in African dance. After becoming disillusioned with city life she declared a need to "discover her roots" and moved to Jamaica.

Deciding to build a singing career, Jones briefly sang with Miriam Makeba (then using the name Mama Africa), and sang with the band Sons of Negus led by Ras Michael. In 1978, she was introduced by a mutual friend to Derrick "Duckie" Simpson, the leader of reggae group Black Uhuru. That group was undergoing a significant lineup change that also included the addition of singer Michael Rose. Jones became a full member of Black Uhuru and sang on seven studio albums, starting with Showcase in 1979 and also including the critically acclaimed Red in 1981 and the Grammy Award-winning Anthem in 1983. That album won the award for Best Reggae Album in 1985, the first year of that award's existence.

Jones was noted for adding lyrics on religious and social topics to Black Uhuru songs, during a period when reggae musicians were often accused of being trite and dismissive of women, and she was also known for her haunting voice. Her last full album with the group was Brutal in 1986, which was nominated for another Grammy Award and reached the charts in New Zealand and the Netherlands. Before sessions began for the album Positive in 1987, Jones was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had to withdraw from Black Uhuru and was replaced by singer Olafunke. Jones returned to the United States for treatment and died at age 36 on January 28, 1990. She was buried near her family home in South Carolina.

Via Flaminia

The Via Flaminia (lit. 'Flaminian Way') was an ancient Roman road leading from Rome over the Apennine Mountains to Ariminum (Rimini) on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, and due to the ruggedness of the mountains was the major option the Romans had for travel between Etruria, Latium, Campania, and the Po Valley. The section running through northern Rome is where Constantine the Great, allegedly, had his famous vision of the Chi Rho, leading to his conversion to Christianity and the Christianization of the Roman Empire.

Today the same route, still called by the same name for much of its distance, is paralleled or overlaid by Strada Statale (SS) 3, also called Strada Regionale (SR) 3 in Lazio and Umbria, and Strada Provinciale (SP) 3 in Marche. It leaves Rome, goes up the Val Tevere ("Valley of the Tiber") and into the mountains at Castello delle Formiche, ascends to Gualdo Tadino, continuing over the divide at Scheggia Pass, 575 m to Cagli. From there it descends the eastern slope waterways between the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Umbrian Apennines to Fano on the coast and goes north, parallel to Highway A14 to Rimini.

This route, once convenient to Roman citizens and other travelers, is now congested by heavy traffic between north Italy and the capital at Rome. It remains a country road, while the traffic crosses by railway and autostrada through dozens of tunnels between Florence and Bologna, a shorter, more direct route under the ridges and nearly inaccessible passes.

History
It was constructed by Gaius Flaminius during his censorship, around 220 BC. Sources mention frequent improvements being made to it during the imperial period. Augustus instituted a general restoration of the roads of Italy, assigning supervision of different regions to various senators. He reserved the Flaminia for himself, and rebuilt all the bridges except the Pons Mulvius, by which it crosses the Tiber, 3 km north of Rome (built by Marcus Aemilius Scaurus in 109 BC), and an unknown Pons Minucius. Triumphal arches were erected in his honour on the former bridge and at Ariminum, the latter of which is still preserved. Vespasian constructed a new tunnel through the pass of Intercisa (Furlo), in AD 77, and Trajan, as inscriptions show, repaired several bridges along the road.

During the period of Roman expansion in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, the Flaminia became, with the sea route, a main axis of transportation by which wheat from the Po valley supplied Rome and central Italy. A number of major battles were fought on or near the Via Flaminia, for example at Sentinum (near the modern Sassoferrato) and near Tadinum (the modern Gualdo Tadino). Constantine the Great's famous Battle of the Milvian Bridge also occurred on the road, after his nearby dream of the Chi Rho (which led to his conversion and that of the Roman Empire to Christianity).

In late antiquity the Via Flaminia remained Rome's major artery both to the Adriatic and to Italy north of the Apennines. The Itinerarium Burdigalense and the Priscillianists who had been expelled from their sees both took this route to Rome despite its length.

After the fall of the western Roman Empire the route remained in use, and when the Ostrogothic king Theodahad set out from Ravenna for Rome around 535, a letter of Cassiodorus mentions work done to repair the road. After the emperor Justinian invaded Italy, competition between the Goths and Romans over strongpoints on the road resulted in more activity through a route that ran slightly to the north through Perugia, the old Etruscan Via Amerina. The Lombard conquest ultimately resulted in the breaking of the Via Flaminia. In the late sixth century the Via Flaminia was severed by the establishment of the Lombard Duchy of Spoleto, with the border around contested Narni. In its place was established the 'Byzantine corridor', a new route linking Rome and Ravenna that departed both cities on the Via Flaminia but which was forced due to political circumstances to pass through Perugia rather than Spoleto.

In the Middle Ages it was known as the Ravenna road, as it led to the then more important city of Ravenna. Following the end of the Exarchate of Ravenna, it fell into disuse during the Lombard period, but was partially reconstructed in the Renaissance era and continued to be of military importance down to the Napoleonic era and World War II. As the SS 3 (Strada Statale 3) it remains one of the principal highways from Rome to the Adriatic coast.

Ancient route
The Via Flaminia began at the Porta Fontinalis, a gate in the Servian Wall in ancient Rome, on the northern slope of the Capitoline Hill. It followed the Via Lata from the Campidoglio to the Porta Flaminia, a city gate of the Aurelian Walls, and the Piazzale Flaminio. This portion can be considered the urban stretch of the Via Flaminia. The road then crosses the Tiber at the Ponte Milvio. While the Via Cassia split off north, the Via Flaminia veared east before turning north again to follow the Tiber, and continued on to Saxa Rubra and Prima Porta. On a hill to the right of the Via Flaminia, a little beyond Prima Porta, are the ruins of Ad Gallinas, a villa that belonged to Livia, the wife of Augustus.

From there it made its way to Ocriculum (Otricoli) and Narnia (Narni), where it crossed the Nera River by the Ponte d'Augusto, the largest Roman bridge ever built, a splendid four-arched structure to which Martial alludes, one arch of which is still standing. It went on, followed at first by the modern road to Casuentum (San Gemini) which passes over two finely preserved ancient bridges, through Carsulae to the Vicus Martis Tudertium (near modern Massa Martana), then Mevania (Bevagna), and thence to Forum Flaminii (S. Giovanni Profiamma). Later, a more circuitous route from Narnia to Forum Flaminii was adopted, increasing the distance by 12 Roman miles (18 km) and passing by Interamna Nahars (Terni), Spoletium (Spoleto) and Fulginium (Foligno) from which a branch diverged to Perusia (Perugia).

From Forum Flaminii, where the two branches rejoined, the Flaminia went on to Nuceria Camellaria (Nocera Umbra) whence a branch road ran to Septempeda and thence either to Ancona or to Tolentinum (Tolentino) and Urbs Salvia (Urbisaglia) and Helvillum (site uncertain, probably Sigillo, but possibly Fossato di Vico), to cross the main ridge of the Apennines, a temple of Jupiter Apenninus standing at or near the summit of the pass according to one ancient author. From there it descended to Cales (Cagli), where it turned north-east following the gorges of the Burano. The narrowest pass was crossed by means of a tunnel chiseled out of solid rock: a first tunnel apparently of the 3rd century BC was replaced by an adjacent tunnel by Vespasian. This is the modern Gola del Furlo, the ancient name of which, Intercisa, means "cut through" with reference to these tunnels. The modern 2‑lane road, the SS 3 Flaminia, still uses Vespasian's tunnel, the emperor's dedicatory inscription still in place; remnants of the earlier tunnel can also be seen.

The Flaminia emerged from the gorges of the Apennines at Forum Sempronii (Fossombrone) and reached the coast of the Adriatic at Fanum Fortunae (Fano). Thence, it ran north-west through Pisaurum (Pesaro) to Ariminum (Rimini). The total distance from Rome was 210 Roman miles, 296 km by the older road and 222 Roman miles, 328 km by the newer. The road gave its name to a juridical district of Italy from the 2nd century onwards, the former territory of the Senones, which was at first associated with Umbria (with which indeed under Augustus it had formed the sixth region of Italy called Umbria et Ager Gallicus), but which after Constantine was always administered with Picenum.

Via Flaminia minor
The Via Flaminia minor (Via Flaminia Militare) was a more western route, constructed by Gaius Flaminius (son of the former Gaius Flaminius) in 187 BC from Bononia (Bologna) to Arretium (Arezzo). It gradually fell into disuse, and disappeared after the Middle Ages. Its exact route is unknown although in 1977 Franco Santi and Cesare Agostini claimed to have found remnants, as yet unconfirmed.

Remains
Extant remains of the road consist of rare patches of pavement (by far the largest is an intermittent stretch about 800 meters long at Rignano Flaminio in the northern Lazio), but for the most part of bridges, listed here in order from Rome:

 * From Rome to Narni:
 * the Milvian Bridge (Ponte Milvio)
 * the Pile di Augusto
 * Ponte Sanguinaro S of Narni
 * the great bridge at Narni
 * Along the western branch:
 * Ponte Caldaro, damaged in World War II
 * Ponte Calamone both before Sangemini
 * Ponte Fonnaia near Acquasparta
 * a bridge just outside Acquasparta, on which was built the church of S. Giovanni de Butris
 * Ponte del Diavolo at Cavallara near Bastardo
 * Along the eastern branch:
 * Ponte Sanguinaro in Spoleto
 * scant remains of a bridge at Pontebari
 * After the branches rejoin at S. Giovanni Profiamma:
 * bridge-like structure at Pieve Fanonica
 * Le Spugne near Nocera Umbra
 * three bridges in the comune of Fossato di Vico (one of which, however, belongs properly to a branch road off the main trunk of the Flaminia)
 * Ponte Spiano in Costacciaro
 * an imposing bridge at Villa Scirca, blown up in World War II
 * five bridges in the comune of Cantiano, near Pontedazzo and Pontericcioli
 * Ponte Mallio (or Manlio) at Cagli, which appears to be partly of pre-Roman (Umbrian) construction
 * Tunnel at Furlo Pass

Other notable Roman vestiges along the road, aside from those within the individual towns, include a pair of tower tombs between Bevagna and Foligno; and along the eastern branch of the Flaminia in particular, in the area between Spoleto and Trevi, many small Romanesque churches, partly built of reused Roman stone (spolia) — including a few inscriptions — mark the straight line of the road quite clearly. A small stretch of the road remains in the ruins of Carsulae where it passes through the Arco di Traiano.

Sport
The road was used as part of the individual road race cycling event for the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.

In Rome it runs past and gives its name to the Stadio Flaminio sports stadium.
