Places to see in ( Pozzuoli - Italy ) Cumae
Cumae was an ancient city of Magna Graecia on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Founded by settlers from Euboea in the 8th century BC, Cumae was the first Greek colony on the mainland of Italy and the seat of the Cumaean Sibyl. The ruins of the city lie near the modern village of Cuma, a frazione of the comune Bacoli in the Province of Naples, Campania, Italy. 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, which was accounted its mother-city by agreement among the first settlers. They were already established at Pithecusae (modern Ischia); they were led by the paired oecists (founders) 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 and modified by the Etruscans and then by the Romans and became the Latin alphabet still used worldwide today.
The colony thrived. By the 8th century it was strong enough to send Perieres and a group with him, who were among the founders of Zancle in Sicily, and another band had returned to found Triteia in Achaea, Pausanias was told. It spread its influence throughout the area over the 7th and 6th centuries BC, gaining sway over Puteoli and Misenum and, thereafter, founding Neapolis in 470 BC. All these facts were recalled long afterwards; Cumae's first brief contemporary mention in written history is in Thucydides.
The growing power of the Cumaean Greeks led many indigenous tribes of the region to organize against them, notably the Dauni and Aurunci with the leadership of the Capuan Etruscans. This coalition was defeated by the Cumaeans in 524 BC under the direction of Aristodemus, called Malacus, a successful man of the people who overthrew the aristocratic faction, became a tyrant himself, and was assassinated.
The Greek period at Cumae came to an end in 421 BC, when the Oscans broke down the walls and took the city, ravaging the countryside. Some survivors fled to Neapolis. Cumae came under Roman rule with Capua and in 338 was granted partial citizenship, a civitas sine suffragio. In the Second Punic War, in spite of temptations to revolt from Roman authority, Cumae withstood Hannibal's siege, under the leadership of Tib. Sempronius Gracchus.
The first historically documented bishop of Cumae was Adeodatus, a member of a synod convoked by Pope Hilarius in Rome in 465. Another was Misenus, who was one of the two legates that Pope Felix III sent to Constantinople and who were imprisoned and forced to receive Communion with Patriarch Acacius of Constantinople in a celebration of the Divine Liturgy in which Peter Mongus and other Miaphysites were named in the diptychs, an event that led to the Acacian Schism. Misenus was excommunicated on his return but was later rehabilitated and took part as bishop of Cumae in two synods of Pope Symmachus. Pope Gregory the Great entrusted the administration of the diocese of Cumae to the bishop of Misenum. Later, both Misenum and Cumae ceased to be residential sees and the territory of Cumae became part of the diocese of Aversa after the destruction of Cumae in 1207. Accordingly, Cumae is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.

Naples: The Cumaean Sibyl | Italia Slow Tour
We are in Campi Flegrei near Naples. It was defined by Dante Alighieri the entrance of the hell. Everything here is part of a volcano. The lake is a crater full of water and even Monte Nuovo was created by the volcano. Today this volcano is extinct and there is a sybil that keeps him quite. Sybil is probably the name of the woman that gave responses for intercession of god Apollo. The Sybil's lair is very ancient. The gallery is extremely technologic and probably it had a technic purpose. Then it became a holy place, the Sybil's lair.

Visiting Antrum - Sybilla Cumae Legenda - Itinerario Campi Flegrei
L'Antro della Sibilla è una galleria artificiale di epoca greco-romana, rinvenuta a seguito degli scavi archeologici dell'acropoli di Cuma: viene identificato come il luogo all'interno del quale la Sibilla Cumana operava e divulgava i suoi oracoli.
Le rovine di Cuma, la più antica colonia greca dell'Italia continentale, sorgono a una ventina di chilometri da Napoli. Salvaguardata dalle difese naturali della topografia locale, Cuma giunse a dominare una delle zone più fertili della pianura campana.
Al loro arrivo in Italia, nell'VIII secolo a.C., i coloni greci scelsero per stabilirsi questo luogo incantevole. Posto all'estremità nordoccidentale del Golfo di Napoli, in un punto che domina un ampio panorama, questo terreno roccioso di origine vulcanica sembrò loro ideale per costruirvi l'acropoli, che sarebbe stata così difesa da tutti i lati dal mare, dai laghi, dai boschi e dai monti.I resti delle mura della cittadella sono ancora visibili alla sommità, dove sorgeva il Tempio di Giove, in passato punto di riferimento per i marinai. Le rovine rimaste appartengono a un edificio del V secolo a.C., ricostruito sotto Augusto (27 a.C. - 14 d.C.) e trasformato nel VI secolo d.C. in una chiesa cristiana.

Pozzuoli is a city and comune of the Metropolitan City of Naples, in the Italian region of Campania. It is the main city of the Phlegrean Peninsula. Pozzuoli began as the Greek colony of Dicaearchia (Greek: Δικαιαρχία). The Roman colony was established in 194 BC, and took the name Puteoli which it has his roots from 'puteus', meaning well (also used by sibyls to predict the future) and 'osco fistulus' (cave). An alternative etymology of Puteoli from the Latin puteo (to stink), referring to the sulfuric smell in the area, most notably from Solfatara. This is because Pozzuoli lies in the center of the Campi Flegrei, a volcanic caldera.
Puteoli was the great emporium for the Alexandrian grain ships, and other ships from all over the Roman world. It also was the main hub for goods exported from Campania, including blown glass, mosaics, wrought iron, and marble. The Roman naval base at nearby Misenum housed the largest naval fleet in the ancient world. It was also the site of the Roman Dictator Sulla's country villa and the place where he died in 78 BC. The local volcanic sand, pozzolana (Latin: pulvis puteolanus, dust of Puteoli) formed the basis for the first effective concrete, as it reacted chemically with water. Instead of just evaporating slowly off, the water would turn this sand/lime mix into a mortar strong enough to bind lumps of aggregate into a load-bearing unit. This made possible the cupola of the Pantheon, which is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.
Since 1946 the town has been the home of the Accademia Aeronautica, the Italian Air Force Academy, which was first situated on the island of Nisida, then from 1962 on a purpose-built hilltop campus overlooking the bay. From August 1982 to December 1984 the city experienced hundreds of tremors and bradyseismic activity which reached a peak on October 4, 1983, damaging 8,000 buildings in the city center and dislocating 36,000 people, many permanently. The events raised the sea bottom by almost 2 m, and rendered the Bay of Pozzuoli too shallow for large craft.
Alot to see in ( Pozzuoli - Italy ) such as :
The Macellum of Pozzuoli, also known as the Temple of Serapis or serapeum, is considered the city's symbol. The temple was actually a marketplace. Its name derives from the misinterpretation of its function after a statue of the god Serapis was found in 1750 at this location. The Macellum includes three majestic columns in Cipollino marble, which show erosion from marine Lithophaga molluscs when, at an earlier time, the ground level was much lower due to Bradyseism, and sea-water could flow in.
Flavian Amphitheater (Amphitheatrum Flavium), the third largest Italian amphitheater after the Colosseum and the Capuan Amphitheater.
Solfatara (volcanic crater with active fumaroles)
Forum
Minor Amphitheater, very near to the Flavian one, its remains were absorbed by other buildings, but some arches can be seen by Via Solfatara and Via Vigna. It is crossed by metropolitan railway and the arena is still buried
Puteoli's Baths, so called Temple of Neptune, the remains of a big thermal complex now in Corso Terracciano which included also Dianae Nymphaeum, this last one partly hidden by buildings.
Villa Avellino, one of the few urban parks of Pozzuoli. It also shows several Roman ruins and water tanks. There is also a still working Roman face water fountain.
Rione Terra, the first settlement of Puteoli, originally Dicearkia in Greek. It is a multi-layered city with several Roman buildings; the most important one is the Temple of Augustus (today the Pozzuoli's Duomo)
Necropolis of the Via Puteolis Capuam, just under the bridge that leads outside the city near Via Solfatara
Necropolis of Via San Vito, near to Quarto
Necropolis of Via Celle, a rich complex of tombs and mausoleums, very near to an old Roman street track still used today (Via Cupa Cigliano)
Stadium of Antoninus Pius, a very similar stadium to the Domitian one in Rome, only partially unburied and partly collapsed (Via Campi Flegrei).
Sanctuary of San Gennaro (St. Januarius). With the Cathedral of Naples, it is one of the two places in which the alleged miracle of the liquefaction of the saint's blood occurs.
Lake Avernus, in which Virgil, in the 6th book of his Aeneid, placed the entrance to Hell.
Lake Lucrino, in the frazione of the same name.

Archeological Park of Cuma - Napoli (Italy)
This week we visited the Archeological Park in Cuma, near Naples. Cuma was the first Greek colony founded in the second half of the 8th century B.C.
In the twentieth century excavations centred mainly on the Acropolis, where it is possible to visit two large temples testifying to the Greek phase, which were converted into churches in the Middle Ages: on the lower terrace stands the temple of Apollo, which was modified by the Romans in the Augustan Age, and of which a seat monument and a cistern survive, the latter perhaps linked to a monumental fountain of the Hellenistic period; and, right at the top of the Acropolis stands the second temple, known (without any certainty) as the Temple of Jupiter.In the twentieth century excavations centred mainly on the Acropolis, where it is possible to visit two large temples testifying to the Greek phase, which were converted into churches in the Middle Ages: on the lower terrace stands the temple of Apollo, which was modified by the Romans in the Augustan Age, and of which a seat monument and a cistern survive, the latter perhaps linked to a monumental fountain of the Hellenistic period; and, right at the top of the Acropolis stands the second temple, known (without any certainty) as the Temple of Jupiter.
Pozzuoli e Cuma
Pozzuoli è una terra viva. Si sente nel respiro della terra che si ascolta nella solfatara. Anche gli antichi romani prediligevano questo posto. Lo testimoniano i tanti resti archeologici. A Cuma invece si respira il mistero, così come misteriosa era una sua abitatrice. La Sibilla.
POZZUOLI ( Puteoli - Campania - Italy ) - ANFITEATRO FLAVIO -Flavian Amphitheatre-Roman amphitheater
L'Anfiteatro Flavio è uno dei due anfiteatri romani esistenti a Pozzuoli e risale alla seconda metà del I secolo d.C.. Venne realizzato per far fronte all'incremento demografico di Puteoli, che aveva reso inadatto il vecchio edificio adibito per spettacoli pubblici in età repubblicana. Secondo solo al Colosseo e all'anfiteatro Campano in quanto capacità di capienza, sorge in concomitanza della convergenza di due vie principali, la Via Domitiana e la via per Napoli . Oggi si trova a poche centinaia di metri dall'attuale linea di costa, nel centro di Pozzuoli, e dista pochi passi dalla fermata Pozzuoli della linea 2 della metropolitana di Napoli.

Places to see in ( Pozzuoli - Italy ) Vulcano Solfatara
Pozzuoli is a city and comune of the Metropolitan City of Naples, in the Italian region of Campania. It is the main city of the Phlegrean Peninsula.
Solfatara is a shallow volcanic crater at Pozzuoli, near Naples, part of the Campi Flegrei volcanic area. It is a dormant volcano, which still emits jets of steam with sulfurous fumes. The name comes from the Latin, Sulpha terra, land of sulfur, or sulfur earth. It was formed around 4000 years ago and last erupted in 1198 with what was probably a phreatic eruption - an explosive steam-driven eruption caused when groundwater interacts with magma. The crater floor is a popular tourist attraction, as it has many fumaroles and mud pools. The area is well known for its bradyseism. The vapours have been used for medical purposes since Roman times.
Vulcano Solfatara is where the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus was first isolated. The archaeon is named for the volcano, as most species of the genus Sulfolobus are named for the area where they are first isolated.

Per altri consigli di viaggio :
Lake Avernus - Pozzuoli (Naples) Discover Italy
Avernus (Italian: Lago d'Averno) is a volcanic crater lake located in the Avernus crater near Pozzuoli.
It is near the volcanic field known as the Phlegraean Fields (Campi Flegrei) and comprises part of the wider Campanian volcanic arc.
Avernus was of major importance to the Romans, who considered it to be the entrance to Hades.
Roman writers often used the name as a synonym for the underworld.
In Virgil's Aeneid, Aeneas descends to the underworld through a cave near the lake.
The lake shore was also connected to the Greek colony of Cumae by an underground passage known as Cocceio's Cave (Grotta di Cocceio), which was 1 km (0.62 mi) long and wide enough to be used by chariots. This was the world's first major road tunnel; it remained usable until as recently as the 1940s.
Cumae

Cumae
Cumae (italienisch Cuma, griechisch Κύμη Kyme) war eine antike Stadt in der italienischen Region Kampanien nordwestlich von Neapel (Gemeinde Bacoli).Der Name leitet sich vermutlich von der griechischen Stadt Kyme auf Euböa ab, eventuell aber auch vom griechischen Wort κῦμα kyma „Welle“ (in Anspielung auf die wellenförmige Silhouette der Halbinsel, auf der der Ort liegt).

Pozzuoli, la Solfatara, il Serapeo, l'Anfiteatro, Cuma - A cura di Carmine Salituro
Il Vulcano Solfatara è uno dei luoghi più misteriosi della Terra e fa parte dei Campi Flegrei. A poca distanza si trovano i resti del Macellum (l'antico mercato), che viene chiamato Serapeo perché confuso con i resti di un tempio dedicato a Serapide. L'anfiteatro romano è uno dei più gandi esistenti al mondo con i sotterranei che testimoniano ancora oggi la grandiosità e la complessità di questo monumento dell'antichità. Infine vedremo uno dei luoghi più importanti dell'antichità greco romana: Cuma, famosa per il santuario da dove la Sibilla cumana pronunciava i suoi responsi.
