Parthenope settlement (jan 1, 700 BC – jan 1, 507 BC)
Description:
Parthenope was founded by Cumae, the earliest Greek city on mainland Italy, at the end of the 8th century BC. The settlement was built on the Pizzofalcone promontory allowing control of sea traffic in the area. When the colony began to be more frequented, the Cumaens worried that their city would be abandoned, and destroyed the colony.Added to timeline:
