ALSIUM (mod. Palo)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 757 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ALSIUM (mod. Palo) , an ancient town of Etruria, 29 M. W. by N. of Rome by
rail
 , on the Via Aurelia, by which it is about 22 M. from Rome. It was one of the oldest cities of Etruria, but does not appear in
history
  till the Roman colonization of 247 B.c., and was never of
great
  importance, except as a resort of wealthy Romans, many of whom (Pompey, the Antonine emperors) had villas there. About 12 m. N.E. of Palo is a row of large mounds called I Monteroni, which belong to tombs of the
Etruscan
  cemetery. Considerable remains of ancient villas still exist along the low sandy
coast
 , one of which, about 1 m. E. of Palo, occupies an area of some 400 by 250 yds. The medieval
castle
  belongs to the Odescalchi family. Near Palo is the
modern
  sea-bathing resort Ladispoli, founded by Prince Odescalchi.
See G. Dennis, Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria, i. 219.
