SANTA MARIA DI LICODIA

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 189 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SANTA MARIA DI LICODIA , a
village
  of Sicily, in the province of Catania, 18 m. N.W. of Catania by rail, on the S.W. slopes of
Mount
  Etna. Pop. (1901) 4101. It is believed to occupy the site of the ancient Aetna, a
settlement
  founded by the colonists whom
Hiero
  I. had placed at Catania after their expulsion by the
original
  inhabitants in 461 B.C., which absorbed or incorporated an already existing Sicel town named Inessa. Its subsequent history is uneventful, though it suffered from the exactions of
Verres
 ; and its
inscriptions
  are unimportant. A large hoard of coins was found here in 1891. Near it, in a
district
  called Civita, is a large elliptical area of about 1300 by 38o yds., en-closed by a
wall
  of masses of lava, which is about 28 ft. wide at the base, and 11 ft. high. The ground is covered with fragments of tiles and pottery of the classical period, and it is probably a hastily built encampment of historic times rather than a primitive fortification, as there are no prehistoric traces (Orsi in Notizie degli scavi, 1903, 442).
See Casagrandi, Su due antiche cittd sicule Vessa ed Inessa (
Acireale
 , 1892).
