, sulla bassa costa sabbiosa tra Cuma e la foce del Volturno. Storia La città è principalmente famosa come residenza dell'anziano Scipione Africano, che si ritirò da Roma e vi morì.[3] La sua tomba e la sua villa sono descritte da Seneca il Giovane nelle sue Lettere morali a Lucilio. Nella lettera LXXXVI, Seneca descrive la villa come costruita con blocchi di pietra squadrati con torri su entrambi i lati.[4][5][6] Probabilmente un tempo dipendeva da Cuma. Nel 194 aC divenne colonia romana. Sebbene Livio registri che la città non ebbe successo,[1] gli scavi rivelano che una città romana esisteva lì fino al IV secolo d.C.[2]

Nelle Metamorfosi di Ovidio Liternum è citato per i suoi lentischi: lentisciferum... Liternum.[7] Si dice che Augusto Cesare abbia condotto a Liternum una colonia di veterani.

La costruzione della via Domitiana attraverso Liternum ne fece una stazione di posta, ma in seguito la città ebbe un'epidemia di malaria e andò in declino.[2] Nel 455 la città fu saccheggiata e distrutta da Genserico, re dei Vandali.[8]

Gli scavi tra il 1930 e il 1936 hanno portato alla luce alcuni elementi del centro cittadino (foro con tempio, basilica e teatrino) risalenti all'inizio dell'Impero Romano. Fuori dalle mura cittadine sono stati individuati i resti dell'anfiteatro e della necropoli. Liternum was an ancient town of Campania, southern central Italy, near "Patria lake", on the low sandy coast between Cumae and the mouth of the Volturnus. It was probably once dependent on Cumae. In 194 BC it became a Roman colony. Although Livy records that the town was unsuccessful,[1] excavation reveals a Roman town existed there until the 4th century AD.[2]

History The town is mainly famous as the residence of the elder Scipio Africanus, who withdrew from Rome and died there.[3] His tomb and villa are described by Seneca the Younger in his Moral Letters to Lucilius. In letter LXXXVI, Seneca describes the villa as being built with squared stone blocks with towers on both sides.[4][5][6]

In Ovid's Metamorphoses Liternum is mentioned for its mastic trees: lentisciferum... Liternum.[7] Augustus Caesar is said to have conducted a colony of veterans to Liternum.

The construction of the Via Domitiana through Liternum made it a posting station, but the town later had a malaria outbreak and went into decline.[2] In 455, the town was pillaged and destroyed by Genseric, king of the Vandals.[8]

Excavations between 1930 and 1936 brought to light some elements of the city center (forum with a temple, a basilica and a small theater) dating from the beginning of the Roman Empire. Outside the city walls, the remains of the amphitheater and the necropolis have been identified. 2.102.9.75 (talk) 09:29, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
