Cumae was the first Greek settlement on the Italian mainland. It was also the seat of the Cumaean Sibyl, a prophetess and guide to the underworld of Hades. Music: Synphoniaci by Synaulia.
Good morning from the Ferry, Climbing Mt. Vesuvius, the site of Cumae, a walk in and under the Anfiteatro Flavio Neroniano, almost choked on the smells of the Volcano Solfatara and and...interesting...end of the day at Avernus.

A look at Ancient Civilizations and Ancient Greece in Italy. Nearly 2800 years ago, a group of Greek settlers landed on the coast of Italy. That event marked the start the process which created Magna Graecia, named after the motherland. Join us as we walk through the streets of Cumae, Pasteum, Puteoli, and Neapolis, reconstructed using the most advanced computer graphics.
Part 2 starts at 25.42 and looks Ancient Greece in Sicily. During the 4th Century BC, Sicily was the “new Greece” of the west. Our journey will take us to the various cultural centers that dotted the island, such as Syracuse, Agrigento, with the exquisite Valley of the Temples, and Selinus, present-day Selenunte.
Ancient Civilizations offers a comparative analysis of the field, including both old world and new civilizations, and explores the connections between all civilizations around the earth.The volume provides a jargon-free introduction to ancient civilizations from the first civilizations, and the great powers in the Near East, to the first Aegean civilizations, the Mediterranean world in the first millennium, Imperial Rome, northeast Africa, divine kings in southeast Asia, and empires in East Asia, as well as early states in the Americas and Andean civilization.For those interested in ancient civilizations.
Today’s civilizations owe an immense debt to the powerful empires and mighty cities of antiquity. Their inventions, techniques and concepts enabled the advancement of humankind and lay the foundation for life in the modern world.

Cultural contacts, resistance and integration, a viewpoint from the graves.
Seventh conference of Italian archaeology. April 16th to 18th, 2016.
National University of Ireland, Galway
http://www.seventhconfitalianarch.com
Riassunto:
La necropoli di Pithekoussai, nelle prime fasi di vita dello stanziamento, fu in uso ininterrottamente per circa 150 anni di vita. La porzione attualmente edita del sepolcreto consta di oltre 600 deposizioni, la maggioranza delle quali concentrate tra il 740 e il 680 a.C. ca. (Buchner, Ridgway 1993).
Grazie agli scavi di Giorgio Buchner si possiedono innumerevoli informazioni in merito alle pratiche funerarie e rituali adottate dai pithecusani, ancora oggi solo in parte oggetto di riflessioni fondate su di una analisi completa e sistematica della documentazione. Tra gli aspetti più interessanti emersi in un recente riesame cronotipologico della stratigrafia del sepolcreto, vi sono quelli correlati a una rilettura d’insieme dell’evoluzione diacronica e demografica della necropoli, che fornisce dati di estremo interesse sia sulla strutturazione dei gruppi funerari che sulle modalità di utilizzo del paesaggio rituale in cui essi andavano a collocarsi, costruendo anche durante la morte sistemi di relazioni in grado di riflettere dialetticamente - seppure attraverso un complesso sistema di filtri funerari - quelli che dovevano caratterizzare i defunti in vita (Nizzo 2007). L’analisi demografica, in particolare, rivela come la comunità non fosse sottoposta a particolari forme di discriminazione funeraria, né dal punto di vista della composizione del campione per sesso ed età, né sul piano dello status e, forse, anche dell’origine etnica dei defunti ammessi alla deposizione formale, dando luogo a forme di integrazione e di ibridazione particolarmente interessanti se si considera il contesto storico in cui ebbero luogo, all’alba della colonizzazione greca e col concorso di realtà estremamente eterogenee tra loro (Cerchiai 1999, Ridgway 2000, Nizzo 2007, Id. 2010, pp. 92 ss., d’Agostino 2011, Guzzo 2012, Nizzo cdsA).
Tali peculiarità emergono con particolare evidenza se confrontate con la documentazione coeva di altri sepolcreti indigeni dell’Italia tirrenica e risulta di particolare interesse soprattutto in considerazione dei risultati raggiunti da Ian Morris nella sua analisi diacronica delle necropoli ateniesi (Morris 1987) e di un confronto critico con la documentazione estremamente più frammentaria e lacunosa - ma parimenti significativa - della necropoli di Cuma (da ultimo Nizzo cdsB).
Sul piano metodologico, ulteriori ausili interpretativi possono essere acquisiti per tramite di un critico confronto con i modelli elaborati dall’antropologia culturale, soprattutto per quel che concerne la natura e il significato dei molteplici filtri rituali che potevano caratterizzare la gestione dei morti e, conseguentemente, la costruzione del paesaggio funebre, nella prospettiva che, chi scrive, ha recentemente definito: “constructing deathscapes” (Nizzo 2015).

Magna Græcia (Latin meaning "Great Greece", Greek: Μεγάλη Ἑλλάς, Megálē Hellás) is the name of the coastal areas of Southern Italy on the Tarentine Gulf that were extensively colonized by Greek settlers; particularly the Achaean colonies of Tarentum, Croton, and Sybaris, but also, more loosely, the cities of Cumae and Neapolis to the north. The colonists, who began arriving in the 8th century BC, brought with them their Hellenic civilization, which was to leave a lasting imprint in Italy, particularly on the culture of ancient Rome.
Antiquity
Main article: Greek colonies ("apoikiai")
In the eighth and seventh centuries BC, for various reasons, including demographic crisis (famine, overcrowding, etc.), the search for new commercial outlets and ports, and expulsion from their homeland, Greeks began to settle in southern Italy (Cerchiai, pp. 14--18). Also during this period, Greek colonies were established in places as widely separated as the eastern coast of the Black Sea, Eastern Libya and Massalia (Marseille). They included settlements in Sicily and the southern part of the Italian Peninsula. The Romans called the area of Sicily and the foot of Italy Magna Graecia (Latin, "Great Greece"), since it was so densely inhabited by the Greeks. The ancient geographers differed on whether the term included Sicily or merely Apulia and Calabria — Strabo being the most prominent advocate of the wider definitions.
With this colonization, Greek culture was exported to Italy, in its dialects of the Ancient Greek language, its religious rites and its traditions of the independent polis. An original Hellenic civilization soon developed, later interacting with the native Italic civilisations. The most important cultural transplant was the Chalcidean/Cumaean variety of the Greek alphabet, which was adopted by the Etruscans; the Old Italic alphabet subsequently evolved into the Latin alphabet, which became the most widely used alphabet in the world.
Many of the new Hellenic cities became very rich and powerful, like Neapolis (Νεάπολις, Naples, "New City"), Syracuse, Acragas, and Sybaris (Σύβαρις). Other cities in Magna Graecia included Tarentum (Τάρας), Epizephyrian Locri (Λοκροί Ἐπιζεφύριοι), Rhegium (Ῥήγιον), Croton (Κρότων), Thurii (Θούριοι), Elea (Ἐλέα), Nola (Νῶλα), Ancona (Ἀγκών), Syessa (Σύεσσα), Bari (Βάριον), and others.
Following the Pyrrhic War in the 3rd century BC, Magna Graecia was absorbed into the Roman Republic.
The Middle Ages
During the Early Middle Ages, following the disastrous Gothic War, new waves of Byzantine Christian Greeks came to Southern Italy from Greece and Asia Minor, as Southern Italy remained loosely governed by the Eastern Roman Empire. The iconoclast emperor Leo III appropriated lands that had been granted to the Papacy in southern Italy[2] and the Eastern Emperor loosely governed the area until the advent of the Lombards then, in the form of the Catapanate of Italy, superseded by the Normans.
A remarkable example of this influence is the Griko-speaking minority which still exists today in the Italian regions of Calabria and Apulia. Griko is the name of a language combining ancient Doric, Byzantine Greek, and Italian elements, spoken by few people in some villages in the Province of Reggio Calabria and Salento. There is a rich oral tradition and Griko folklore, limited now, though once numerous, to around 30,000 people most of them having become absorbed into the surrounding Italian element. Some believe that the origins of the Griko language may ultimately be traced to the colonies of Magna Graecia.

Pompei is a city and comune in the province of Naples in Campania, southern Italy.
The city is mainly famous for the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii, located in the frazione of Pompei Scavi.
The central basilica, dedicated to Madonna del Rosario di Pompei, has become a site for Catholic pilgrimages in recent years. It houses a canvas by Luca Giordano.
[edit] Pompeii is a partially buried Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Along with Herculaneum, its sister city, Pompeii was destroyed and completely buried during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in 79 AD. The eruption buried Pompeii under 4 to 6 meters of ash and pumice, and it was lost for over 1,500 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1599. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy, with approximately 2,500,000 visitors every year.Early history
The archaeological digs at the site extend to the street level of the 79 AD volcanic event; deeper digs in older parts of Pompeii and core samples of nearby drillings have exposed layers of jumbled sediment that suggest that the city had suffered from the volcano and other seismic events before then. Three sheets of sediment have been found on top of the lava that lies below the city and, mixed in with the sediment, archaeologists have found bits of animal bone, pottery shards and plants. Using carbon dating, the oldest layer has been dated to the 8th-6th centuries BC, about the time that the city was founded. The other two layers are separated from the other layers by well-developed soil layers or Roman pavement and were laid in the 4th century BC and 2nd century BC. It is theorized that the layers of jumbled sediment were created by large landslides, perhaps triggered by extended rainfall.[2]
The town was founded around the 7th-6th century BC by the Osci or Oscans, a people of central Italy, on what was an important crossroad between Cumae, Nola and Stabiae. It had already been used as a safe port by Greek and Phoenician sailors. According to Strabo, Pompeii was also captured by the Etruscans, and in fact recent excavations have shown the presence of Etruscan inscriptions and a 6th century BC necropolis. Pompeii was captured for the first time by the Greek colony of Cumae, allied with Syracuse, between 525 and 474 BC.
In the 5th century BC, the Samnites conquered it (and all the other towns of Campania); the new rulers imposed their architecture and enlarged the town. After the Samnite Wars (4th century BC), Pompeii was forced to accept the status of socium of Rome, maintaining, however, linguistic and administrative autonomy. In the 4th century BC, it was fortified. Pompeii remained faithful to Rome during the Second Punic War.
Pompeii took part in the war that the towns of Campania initiated against Rome, but in 89 BC it was besieged by Sulla. Although the troops of the Social League, headed by Lucius Cluentius, helped in resisting the Romans, in 80 BC Pompeii was forced to surrender after the conquest of Nola, culminating in many of Sulla's veterans being given land and property, while many of those who went against Rome were ousted from their homes. It became a Roman colony with the name of Colonia Cornelia Veneria Pompeianorum. The town became an important passage for goods that arrived by sea and had to be sent toward Rome or Southern Italy along the nearby Appian Way. Agriculture, water and wine production were also important.
It was fed with water by a spur from Aqua Augusta (Naples) built circa 20 BC by Agrippa; the main line supplied several other large towns, and finally the naval base at Misenum. The castellum in Pompeii is well preserved, and includes many interesting details of the distribution network and its controls.

Cumae (Italian: Cuma; Ancient Greek: Κύμη Kymē or Κύμαι Kymai or Κύμα Kyma) is an ancient Greek settlement lying to the northwest of Naples in the Italian region of Campania. Cumae was the first Greek colony on the mainland of Italy (Magna Graecia), and the seat of the Cumaean Sibyl. It was the Cumaean alphabet that was adopted in Italy, first by the Etruscans (800 - 100 BC) and then by the Romans (300 - 100 BC), thus becoming the Latin alphabet, the world's most widely used phonemic script. The Cumaean alphabet was also used throughout the Greek island of Euboea.
Today Cuma - Fusaro is a frazione of the comune of Bacoli.
The settlement, in a location that was already occupied, is believed to have been founded in the 8th century BC by Euboean Greeks, originally from the cities of Eretria and Chalcis in Euboea, who were already established at Pithecusae (modern Ischia); they were led by the paired oecists (colonizers) Megasthenes of Chalcis and Hippocles of Cyme.
The Greeks were planted upon the earlier dwellings of indigenous, Iron-Age peoples whom they supplanted; a memory of them was preserved as cave-dwellers named Cimmerians, among whom there was already an oracular tradition. Its name refers to the peninsula of Cyme in Euboea. The colony was also the entry point in the Italian peninsula for the Euboean alphabet, the local variant of the Greek alphabet used by its colonists, a variant of which was adapted by the Romans and became the Latin alphabet still used worldwide today.

Italy 
i/ˈɪtəli/ (Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]), officially the Italian Republic or the Republic of Italy (Italian: Repubblica italiana), is a unitary parliamentary republic in south-central Europe. To the north, it borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia along the Alps. To the south, it consists of the entirety of the Italian Peninsula, Sicily, Sardinia–the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea–and many other smaller islands. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within Italy, while Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland. The territory of Italy covers some 301,338 km2 (116,347 sq mi) and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. With 60.6 million inhabitants, it is the fifth most populous country in Europe, and the 23rd most populous in the world.
Rome, the capital of Italy, was for centuries a political and religious centre of Western civilisation as the capital of the Roman Empire and site of the Holy See. After the decline of the Roman Empire, Italy endured numerous invasions by foreign peoples, from Germanic tribes such as the Lombards and Ostrogoths, to the Byzantines and later, the Normans, among others. Centuries later, Italy became the birthplace of Maritime republics and the Renaissance, an immensely fruitful intellectual movement that would prove to be integral in shaping the subsequent course of European thought.

The iconoclast emperor Leo III appropriated lands that had been granted to the Papacy in southern Italy[2] and the Eastern Emperor loosely governed the area until the advent of the Lombards then, in the form of the Catapanate of Italy, superseded by the Normans. A remarkable example of this influence is the Griko-speaking minority which still exists today in the Italian regions of Calabria and Apulia. Griko is the name of a language combining ancient Doric, Byzantine Greek, and Italian elements, spoken by few people in some villages in the Province of Reggio Calabria and Salento. There is a rich oral tradition and Griko folklore, limited now, though once numerous, to around 30,000 people most of them having become absorbed into the surrounding Italian element. Some believe that the origins of the Griko language may ultimately be traced to the colonies of Magna Graecia. ----------------------- I did not make this video and I do not own it.

Explore the virtual streets of the original Greek colonies of Italy, and experience the creation of the Magna Graecia. Magna Græcia (Latin meaning "Great Greece", Greek: Μεγάλη Ἑλλάς, Megálē Hellás) is the name of the coastal areas of Southern Italy on the Tarentine Gulf that were extensively colonized by Greek settlers; particularly the Achaean colonies of Tarentum, Crotone, and Sybaris, but also, more loosely, the cities of Cumae and Neapolis to the north.[1] The colonists, who began arriving in the 8th century BC, brought with them their Hellenic civilization, which was to leave a lasting imprint in Italy, particularly on the culture of ancient Rome. -

Pompei - Italy - Unesco World Heritage SitePompei - Italy - Unesco World Heritage Site
Pompei is a city and comune in the province of Naples in Campania, southern Italy. The city is mainly famous for the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii, located in the frazione of Pompei Scavi. The central basilica, dedicated to Madonna del Rosario di Pompei, has become a site for Catholic pilgrimages in recent years. It houses a canvas by Luca Giordano. [edit] Pompeii is a partially buried Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Along with Herculaneum, its sister city, Pompeii was destroyed and completely buried during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in 79 AD. The eruption buried Pompeii under 4 to 6 meters of ash and pumice, and it was lost for over 1,500 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1599. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy, with approximately 2,500,000 visitors every year.Early history The archaeological digs at the site extend to the street level of the 79 AD volcanic event; deeper digs in older parts of Pompeii and core samples of nearby drillings have exposed layers of jumbled sediment that suggest that the city had suffered from the volcano and other seismic events before then. Three sheets of sediment have been found on top of the lava that lies below the city and, mixed in with the sediment, archaeologists have found bits of animal bone, pottery shards and plants. Using carbon dating, the oldest layer has been dated to the 8th-6th centuries BC, about the time that the city was founded. The other two layers are separated from the other layers by well-developed soil layers or Roman pavement and were laid in the 4th century BC and 2nd century BC. It is theorized that the layers of jumbled sediment were created by large landslides, perhaps triggered by extended rainfall.[2] The town was founded around the 7th-6th century BC by the Osci or Oscans, a people of central Italy, on what was an important crossroad between Cumae, Nola and Stabiae. It had already been used as a safe port by Greek and Phoenician sailors. According to Strabo, Pompeii was also captured by the Etruscans, and in fact recent excavations have shown the presence of Etruscan inscriptions and a 6th century BC necropolis. Pompeii was captured for the first time by the Greek colony of Cumae, allied with Syracuse, between 525 and 474 BC. In the 5th century BC, the Samnites conquered it (and all the other towns of Campania); the new rulers imposed their architecture and enlarged the town. After the Samnite Wars (4th century BC), Pompeii was forced to accept the status of socium of Rome, maintaining, however, linguistic and administrative autonomy. In the 4th century BC, it was fortified. Pompeii remained faithful to Rome during the Second Punic War. Pompeii took part in the war that the towns of Campania initiated against Rome, but in 89 BC it was besieged by Sulla. Although the troops of the Social League, headed by Lucius Cluentius, helped in resisting the Romans, in 80 BC Pompeii was forced to surrender after the conquest of Nola, culminating in many of Sulla's veterans being given land and property, while many of those who went against Rome were ousted from their homes. It became a Roman colony with the name of Colonia Cornelia Veneria Pompeianorum. The town became an important passage for goods that arrived by sea and had to be sent toward Rome or Southern Italy along the nearby Appian Way. Agriculture, water and wine production were also important. It was fed with water by a spur from Aqua Augusta (Naples) built circa 20 BC by Agrippa; the main line supplied several other large towns, and finally the naval base at Misenum. The castellum in Pompeii is well preserved, and includes many interesting details of the distribution network and its controls. -

Riassunto:
La necropoli di Pithekoussai, nelle prime fasi di vita dello stanziamento, fu in uso ininterrottamente per circa 150 anni di vita. La porzione attualmente edita del sepolcreto consta di oltre 600 deposizioni, la maggioranza delle quali concentrate tra il 740 e il 680 a.C. ca. (Buchner, Ridgway 1993).
Grazie agli scavi di Giorgio Buchner si possiedono innumerevoli informazioni in merito alle pratiche funerarie e rituali adottate dai pithecusani, ancora oggi solo in parte oggetto di riflessioni fondate su di una analisi completa e sistematica della documentazione. Tra gli aspetti più interessanti emersi in un recente riesame cronotipologico della stratigrafia del sepolcreto, vi sono quelli correlati a una rilettura d’insieme dell’evoluzione diacronica e demografica della necropoli, che fornisce dati di estremo interesse sia sulla strutturazione dei gruppi funerari che sulle modalità di utilizzo del paesaggio rituale in cui essi andavano a collocarsi, costruendo anche durante la morte sistemi di relazioni in grado di riflettere dialetticamente - seppure attraverso un complesso sistema di filtri funerari - quelli che dovevano caratterizzare i defunti in vita (Nizzo 2007). L’analisi demografica, in particolare, rivela come la comunità non fosse sottoposta a particolari forme di discriminazione funeraria, né dal punto di vista della composizione del campione per sesso ed età, né sul piano dello status e, forse, anche dell’origine etnica dei defunti ammessi alla deposizione formale, dando luogo a forme di integrazione e di ibridazione particolarmente interessanti se si considera il contesto storico in cui ebbero luogo, all’alba della colonizzazione greca e col concorso di realtà estremamente eterogenee tra loro (Cerchiai 1999, Ridgway 2000, Nizzo 2007, Id. 2010, pp. 92 ss., d’Agostino 2011, Guzzo 2012, Nizzo cdsA).
Tali peculiarità emergono con particolare evidenza se confrontate con la documentazione coeva di altri sepolcreti indigeni dell’Italia tirrenica e risulta di particolare interesse soprattutto in considerazione dei risultati raggiunti da Ian Morris nella sua analisi diacronica delle necropoli ateniesi (Morris 1987) e di un confronto critico con la documentazione estremamente più frammentaria e lacunosa - ma parimenti significativa - della necropoli di Cuma (da ultimo Nizzo cdsB).
Sul piano metodologico, ulteriori ausili interpretativi possono essere acquisiti per tramite di un critico confronto con i modelli elaborati dall’antropologia culturale, soprattutto per quel che concerne la natura e il significato dei molteplici filtri rituali che potevano caratterizzare la gestione dei morti e, conseguentemente, la costruzione del paesaggio funebre, nella prospettiva che, chi scrive, ha recentemente definito: “constructing deathscapes” (Nizzo 2015).

Magna Græcia (Latin meaning "Great Greece", Greek: Μεγάλη Ἑλλάς, Megálē Hellás) is the name of the coastal areas of Southern Italy on the Tarentine Gulf that were extensively colonized by Greek settlers; particularly the Achaean colonies of Tarentum, Croton, and Sybaris, but also, more loosely, the cities of Cumae and Neapolis to the north. The colonists, who began arriving in the 8th century BC, brought with them their Hellenic civilization, which was to leave a lasting imprint in Italy, particularly on the culture of ancient Rome.
Antiquity
Main article: Greek colonies ("apoikiai")
In the eighth and seventh centuries BC, for various reasons, including demographic crisis (famine, overcrowding, etc.), the search for new commercial outlets and ports, and expulsion from their homeland, Greeks began to settle in southern Italy (Cerchiai, pp. 14--18). Also during this period, Greek colonies were established in places as widely separated as the eastern coast of the Black Sea, Eastern Libya and Massalia (Marseille). They included settlements in Sicily and the southern part of the Italian Peninsula. The Romans called the area of Sicily and the foot of Italy Magna Graecia (Latin, "Great Greece"), since it was so densely inhabited by the Greeks. The ancient geographers differed on whether the term included Sicily or merely Apulia and Calabria — Strabo being the most prominent advocate of the wider definitions.
With this colonization, Greek culture was exported to Italy, in its dialects of the Ancient Greek language, its religious rites and its traditions of the independent polis. An original Hellenic civilization soon developed, later interacting with the native Italic civilisations. The most important cultural transplant was the Chalcidean/Cumaean variety of the Greek alphabet, which was adopted by the Etruscans; the Old Italic alphabet subsequently evolved into the Latin alphabet, which became the most widely used alphabet in the world.
Many of the new Hellenic cities became very rich and powerful, like Neapolis (Νεάπολις, Naples, "New City"), Syracuse, Acragas, and Sybaris (Σύβαρις). Other cities in Magna Graecia included Tarentum (Τάρας), Epizephyrian Locri (Λοκροί Ἐπιζεφύριοι), Rhegium (Ῥήγιον), Croton (Κρότων), Thurii (Θούριοι), Elea (Ἐλέα), Nola (Νῶλα), Ancona (Ἀγκών), Syessa (Σύεσσα), Bari (Βάριον), and others.
Following the Pyrrhic War in the 3rd century BC, Magna Graecia was absorbed into the Roman Republic.
The Middle Ages
During the Early Middle Ages, following the disastrous Gothic War, new waves of Byzantine Christian Greeks came to Southern Italy from Greece and Asia Minor, as Southern Italy remained loosely governed by the Eastern Roman Empire. The iconoclast emperor Leo III appropriated lands that had been granted to the Papacy in southern Italy[2] and the Eastern Emperor loosely governed the area until the advent of the Lombards then, in the form of the Catapanate of Italy, superseded by the Normans.
A remarkable example of this influence is the Griko-speaking minority which still exists today in the Italian regions of Calabria and Apulia. Griko is the name of a language combining ancient Doric, Byzantine Greek, and Italian elements, spoken by few people in some villages in the Province of Reggio Calabria and Salento. There is a rich oral tradition and Griko folklore, limited now, though once numerous, to around 30,000 people most of them having become absorbed into the surrounding Italian element. Some believe that the origins of the Griko language may ultimately be traced to the colonies of Magna Graecia.

Pompei is a city and comune in the province of Naples in Campania, southern Italy.
The city is mainly famous for the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii, located in the frazione of Pompei Scavi.
The central basilica, dedicated to Madonna del Rosario di Pompei, has become a site for Catholic pilgrimages in recent years. It houses a canvas by Luca Giordano.
[edit] Pompeii is a partially buried Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Along with Herculaneum, its sister city, Pompeii was destroyed and completely buried during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in 79 AD. The eruption buried Pompeii under 4 to 6 meters of ash and pumice, and it was lost for over 1,500 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1599. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy, with approximately 2,500,000 visitors every year.Early history
The archaeological digs at the site extend to the street level of the 79 AD volcanic event; deeper digs in older parts of Pompeii and core samples of nearby drillings have exposed layers of jumbled sediment that suggest that the city had suffered from the volcano and other seismic events before then. Three sheets of sediment have been found on top of the lava that lies below the city and, mixed in with the sediment, archaeologists have found bits of animal bone, pottery shards and plants. Using carbon dating, the oldest layer has been dated to the 8th-6th centuries BC, about the time that the city was founded. The other two layers are separated from the other layers by well-developed soil layers or Roman pavement and were laid in the 4th century BC and 2nd century BC. It is theorized that the layers of jumbled sediment were created by large landslides, perhaps triggered by extended rainfall.[2]
The town was founded around the 7th-6th century BC by the Osci or Oscans, a people of central Italy, on what was an important crossroad between Cumae, Nola and Stabiae. It had already been used as a safe port by Greek and Phoenician sailors. According to Strabo, Pompeii was also captured by the Etruscans, and in fact recent excavations have shown the presence of Etruscan inscriptions and a 6th century BC necropolis. Pompeii was captured for the first time by the Greek colony of Cumae, allied with Syracuse, between 525 and 474 BC.
In the 5th century BC, the Samnites conquered it (and all the other towns of Campania); the new rulers imposed their architecture and enlarged the town. After the Samnite Wars (4th century BC), Pompeii was forced to accept the status of socium of Rome, maintaining, however, linguistic and administrative autonomy. In the 4th century BC, it was fortified. Pompeii remained faithful to Rome during the Second Punic War.
Pompeii took part in the war that the towns of Campania initiated against Rome, but in 89 BC it was besieged by Sulla. Although the troops of the Social League, headed by Lucius Cluentius, helped in resisting the Romans, in 80 BC Pompeii was forced to surrender after the conquest of Nola, culminating in many of Sulla's veterans being given land and property, while many of those who went against Rome were ousted from their homes. It became a Roman colony with the name of Colonia Cornelia Veneria Pompeianorum. The town became an important passage for goods that arrived by sea and had to be sent toward Rome or Southern Italy along the nearby Appian Way. Agriculture, water and wine production were also important.
It was fed with water by a spur from Aqua Augusta (Naples) built circa 20 BC by Agrippa; the main line supplied several other large towns, and finally the naval base at Misenum. The castellum in Pompeii is well preserved, and includes many interesting details of the distribution network and its controls.

Caracol Mayan Ruins Tour - San Ignacio Belize
Caracol Mayan Ruins Tour is unlike any other site in Belize. Because it’s so secluded, there’s more wildlife that calls it home–like the ocellated turkey, the keel-billed toucan, and the legendary mot-mot. And like the famous buried city of Cumae in Italy, most of the city still lies sleeping underground. But even the small fraction of buildings exposed to the air offer testament to the city’s majesty. In addition to these extraordinary ruins, PACZ offers two stops on the way there or back: first, the breathtaking Rio Frio cave, with its eerie subterranean beach and ceilings high enough to fit a cathedral. You can try capturing it all in one camera shot, but no one’s ever succeeded! Pacz Tours - San Ignacio, Belize http://www.pacztours.net/belize/caracol-temples.html -

Pompei, Italy Travel - Pompei is a city and comune in the province of Naples in Campania, southern Italy.
The city is mainly famous for the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii, located in the frazione of Pompei Scavi.
The central basilica, dedicated to Madonna del Rosario di Pompei, has become a site for Catholic pilgrimages in recent years. It houses a canvas by Luca Giordano.
[edit] Pompeii is a partially buried Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Along with Herculaneum, its sister city, Pompeii was destroyed and completely buried during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in 79 AD. The eruption buried Pompeii under 4 to 6 meters of ash and pumice, and it was lost for over 1,500 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1599. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy, with approximately 2,500,000 visitors every year.Early history
The archaeological digs at the site extend to the street level of the 79 AD volcanic event; deeper digs in older parts of Pompeii and core samples of nearby drillings have exposed layers of jumbled sediment that suggest that the city had suffered from the volcano and other seismic events before then. Three sheets of sediment have been found on top of the lava that lies below the city and, mixed in with the sediment, archaeologists have found bits of animal bone, pottery shards and plants. Using carbon dating, the oldest layer has been dated to the 8th-6th centuries BC, about the time that the city was founded. The other two layers are separated from the other layers by well-developed soil layers or Roman pavement and were laid in the 4th century BC and 2nd century BC. It is theorized that the layers of jumbled sediment were created by large landslides, perhaps triggered by extended rainfall.[2]
The town was founded around the 7th-6th century BC by the Osci or Oscans, a people of central Italy, on what was an important crossroad between Cumae, Nola and Stabiae. It had already been used as a safe port by Greek and Phoenician sailors. According to Strabo, Pompeii was also captured by the Etruscans, and in fact recent excavations have shown the presence of Etruscan inscriptions and a 6th century BC necropolis. Pompeii was captured for the first time by the Greek colony of Cumae, allied with Syracuse, between 525 and 474 BC.
In the 5th century BC, the Samnites conquered it (and all the other towns of Campania); the new rulers imposed their architecture and enlarged the town. After the Samnite Wars (4th century BC), Pompeii was forced to accept the status of socium of Rome, maintaining, however, linguistic and administrative autonomy. In the 4th century BC, it was fortified. Pompeii remained faithful to Rome during the Second Punic War.
Pompeii took part in the war that the towns of Campania initiated against Rome, but in 89 BC it was besieged by Sulla. Although the troops of the Social League, headed by Lucius Cluentius, helped in resisting the Romans, in 80 BC Pompeii was forced to surrender after the conquest of Nola, culminating in many of Sullas veterans being given land and property, while many of those who went against Rome were ousted from their homes. It became a Roman colony with the name of Colonia Cornelia Veneria Pompeianorum. The town became an important passage for goods that arrived by sea and had to be sent toward Rome or Southern Italy along the nearby Appian Way. Agriculture, water and wine production were also important.
It was fed with water by a spur from Aqua Augusta (Naples) built circa 20 BC by Agrippa; the main line supplied several other large towns, and finally the naval base at Misenum. The castellum in Pompeii is well preserved, and includes many interesting details of the distribution network and its controls.

Caracol Mayan Ruins Tour is unlike any other site in Belize. Because it’s so secluded, there’s more wildlife that calls it home–like the ocellated turkey, the keel-billed toucan, and the legendary mot-mot. And like the famous buried city of Cumae in Italy, most of the city still lies sleeping underground. But even the small fraction of buildings exposed to the air offer testament to the city’s majesty.
In addition to these extraordinary ruins, PACZ offers two stops on the way there or back: first, the breathtaking Rio Frio cave, with its eerie subterranean beach and ceilings high enough to fit a cathedral. You can try capturing it all in one camera shot, but no one’s ever succeeded!

All video and pictures are mine.
Disclaimer: I do not own the music used.
Pictures In Order of Appearance:
Picture 1: The Flavian Amphitheater, looking from the direction of the 7 Hills around the Roman Forum.
Picture 2: A columned hall in the Flavian Amphitheater.
Picture 3: Inside the Flavian Amphitheater, looking at the seating levels, floor level and the (now partially exposed) underground levels.
Picture 4: The Arch of Constantine, commemorating Constantine I's victory at the Battle of Milvian Bridge (the 28th of October, AD 312) and the defeat of his adversary, Maxentius. Dedicated in AD 315. It was undergoing partial restoration at the time.
Picture 5: The Arch of Titus, an honorific arch built by Domitian (c. AD 82) to commemorate his older brother Titus' victory over the Jews in the 1st Jewish Revolt and the siege/sack of Jerusalem (AD 70). At which time the Second Temple was burned.
Picture 6: The Arch of Titus, depicting the sack of the Jewish Temple, where Roman soldiers are taking the wealth and precious objects from the Temple. Seen distinctly is the Temple's Menorah, the ancient 7-branched Jewish symbol of Judaism and the Temple/Tabernacle.
Picture 7: The Arch of Titus, depicting Titus in his chariot, drawn by 4 horses in a parade of victory.
Picture 8: The remains of the Hippodrome at Flavian's Palace on the Palatine Hill in Rome.
Picture 9: A recovered fresco panel from Flavian's Palace, depicting minute scenes and intricate tiny patterns and designs, held in the Palatine Museum.
Picture 10: A bust of a young Nero recovered from Flavian's Palace on the Palatine Hill. The information plate reads:
Nerone giovane togato, Imp. Nero Claudius Caesar Aug. Germanicus (54-68 AD)
Picture 11: A bust of a young Marcus Aurelius recovered from Flavian's Palace, the information plate reads:
Marco Aurelio, Imp. Caesar M. Aurelius Antoninus Aug. (161-180 AD)
Picture 12: Originally built as Temples in the Roman Forum, the buildings were converted later to church buildings. The small round building with the green door is the 'So-Called Temple of Romulus' identified as built by Emperor Maxentenius, AD 307, to honor his son deceased child son. The tall building next to it, with the arched stairs, is the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina. Dedicated to Faustina in AD 141 by the Senate and then alsoto her husband Antoninus Pius upon his death (138-161 AD).
Picture 13: At the front are the remains of the circular Temple of Vesta, goddess of the Hearth. Behind it, rising up to the right, is the remains of the House of the Vestal Virgins, the virginal priestesses dedicated to the service of Vesta, who attended the sacred fire (symbolizing the life and soul of the Roman Empire and its fortunes, a flame that was never allowed to go out) and were considerably powerful women in the political world.
Picture 14: The Temple of Caesar, built by Augustus and dedicated in 29 BC, is badly damaged from the structure that was once a high podium with six columns at the front, the remaining damaged altar still receives gifts of coins and flowers.
Picture 15: The Roman Forum, looking at the tall square Curia building, the Arch of Septimius Severus and the Capitoline Museum above.
The Curia was the council house of the Senate.
The Arch of Septimius Severus, AD 203, commemorated the 2 Parthian Victories of Emperor Septimius Severus with his son Caracalla and Geta in 194/5 and 197-199 AD.
The Capitoline Museum stands above the Roman Forum, in three different buildings.
Picture 16: Trajan's Column, across the street from the Roman Forum and next to an ancient temple in what was the Forum of Trajan, honored Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars by the Senate. Standing at 98 ft tall, it depicts a minutely detailed frieze of the war spiraling up the column. Erected in AD 113, the topper was originally a statue of Trajan (older coins indicate it was designed to have a bird top, most likely an eagle) but the statue vanished in the Middle Ages and was later given a new top of a bronze statue of St. Peter by the Pope Sixtus V on 4 December, 1587.
Picture 17: The outside of the Pantheon in Rome, it was built by Marcus Agrippa during Augustus' time (27 BC-14 AD) as a temple to all the ancient Roman gods (the Roman Pantheon), but was later destroyed and rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian, c. 126 AD. The additional Vestibule entrance to the Rotunda hall. Since the 7th century the Pantheon has served as the Catholic Church"Santa Maria Rotonda" dedicated to St. Mary and the Martyrs.
The inscription on the Vestibule entrance means: Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, made this building when consul for the third time.
