Encyclopedia Britannica



LUNA, ALVARO DE (d. 1453)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 123 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LUNA, ALVARO DE (d. 1453) , Constable of Castile, Grand though traversed by the
coast
  road (Via Aurelia), and it was renowned for the
marble
  from the neighbouring mountains of
Carrara
 , which bore the name of Luna
marble
 . Pliny speaks of the quarries as only recently discovered in his day. Good wine was also produced. There are some remains of the Roman period on the site, and a theatre and an
amphitheatre
  may be distinguished. No
Etruscan
  remains have come to light. 0. Cuntz's investigations (Jahreshefte des Osterr.
Arch
 . Instituts, 1904, 46) seem to lead to the conclusion that an ancient road crossed the Apennines from it, following the line of the
modern
  road (more or less that of the
modern
  railway from Sarzana to Parma), and dividing near Pontremoli, one branch going to Borgotaro,
Veleia
  and Placentia, and the other over the Cisa pass to Forum Novum (Fornovo) and Parma. The town was destroyed by the
Arabs
  in Io,6, and the episcopal see transferred to Sarzana in 1204.
See G. Dennis, Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria (London, 1883), ii. 63. (T. As.)
