🇮🇹🤓VOLTERRA - VELATHRI
- In the VII century. BC the city of Velathri was built by the Etruscans and in the fourth century. BC and there was a notable economic development of the city, with an increase in exports, the issuance of its own currency and rich tomb complexes, to which the great walls with a perimeter of over seven km were added.
- In the III century. BC had an intense building activity, creating a neighborhood with buildings for religious use. In a first phase, datable to the beginning of the third century. BC, the Temple called "B" was built. In fact, Volterra became one of the twelve lucomonias of the Etruscan nation, with a territory that extended from the Pesa river to the Tyrrhenian Sea and from the Arno to the Cornia river basin.
- Also in the third century, with the battle of Lake Vadimone (283 BC) Volterra had to submit to the Romans around 260, becoming part, together with other cities, of the Italic confederation.
- Livio informs us, about the supplies that Scipio's army received from some Etruscan cities, during the II Punic War in 205 BC, that Volterra contributed with timber for the ships but above all with wheat, a product which evidently was the basis of the its economy.
- In 90 BC. with the Lex Julia de Civitate, Volterra obtained Roman citizenship, was enrolled in the Sabatina tribe and established a thriving municipality. However, the deployment of its population in favor of Gaius Marius during the civil war was the cause of a long siege by the troops loyal to Silla, who, after a long siege, conquered the city in 80 BC. he lost his Roman citizenship, as we know from Cicero's indictment in defense of the interests of a member of the Cecina family from Volterra.
- During the Augustan age the city experienced a phase of intense public and private building activity, documented by the remains of numerous public and private buildings built on the basis of a new master plan based on the alignment of streets and houses.
The space in front of the two sanctuaries was enlarged and arranged around 20 AD, when the ground was leveled and brought to the height of the square in front of the temple B.
- In the first decades of the first century. dc was also built the largest public building work of the Roman era in the city. Thanks to the munificence of some members of a patrician family from Volterra, the Caecinae, a theater was built in the Vallebuona valley, on the northern slopes of the hill, so the new buildings were built orientating them according to it, following a new planning criterion. building.
Then followed the construction of a Porticus Post Scaenam, which framed the theater in an architectural scenography immediately visible for those arriving in the city from the North.
In the third century. the thermal baths of S. Felice and Vallebuona were built, but the templar area of ​​the Acropolis stopped being frequented; burials begin to be carried out inside the city, the theater of Vallebuona closes towards the end of the third century. perhaps due to an earthquake.
