Creator:
Lauro, Giacomo
Description:
Mare Puteolanum, now the Bay of Pozzuoli. Puteoli, now known as Pozzuoli, was a Greek colony, but became a Roman colony in 194 BC. On the coast of Campania, Pozzuoli’s harbor was a hub for trade going out and for the Alexandrian grain ships coming in. It was about 170 miles from Rome. The name Puteoli was from the odiferous sulfur smell in the area from Solfatara, an extinct volcano, and several sulfur springs.
