Roman Remains in the Town and Territory of Velletri

Velletri (ancient Velitrae), in classical times one of the most important and prominent of the Volscian towns, famous also as the original home of the Octavian family, lies upon a low hill at the southeast edge of the Alban Range. Wagener and Ashby here give a report on the Roman remains at the site including roads, temples, basilica, and the amphitheater. This piece includes diagrams and photographs of this important site and, while greater in breadth than in depth, provides a concise portrait of an Italian town outside the bounds of urban Rome.
