Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the topography and municipal history of Palestrina, an ancient city located on the outskirts of modern-day Rome. Once known as Praeneste, this fortified town played a vital role in the development of the Latin League. Through rigorous analysis of inscriptions and archaeological evidence, the author illuminates the unique topography of Praeneste and its strategic location at the head of the Trerus Valley. The text also explores the city's municipal organization, examining the distribution of offices and their regulations. Insights are drawn from a comprehensive chronological list of municipal officers, both before and after Praeneste became a colony of Rome. The author concludes that Praeneste's location, its complex topography, and its pivotal position within the Latin League made it a significant player in the political and military landscape of ancient Italy.
