Everything about Liternum totally explained
Liternum was an ancient town of
Campania,
Italy, 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.
The town is mainly famous as the residence of the
elder Scipio, who withdrew from Rome and died there. His tomb and villa are described by
Seneca the Younger.
Augustus Caesar is said to have conducted a colony of veterans to Liternum. However, the place never had any great importance, and the lagoons behind it made it unhealthy, though the construction of the Via Domitiana through it must have made it a posting station. It ceased to exist in the 8th century. No remains are visible.
