SATURNIA (mod. Saturnia)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 233 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SATURNIA (mod. Saturnia) , an ancient town of Etruria
Italy
 , about 23 M. N.E. of
Orbetello
  and the
coast
 .
Dionysius
  of
Halicarnassus
  enumerates it among the towns first occupied by the Pelasgi and then by the Tuscans. A Roman
colony
  was conducted there in 183 B.C., and it was a praefectura, but other-
wise
  little is known about it. Remains of the city walls, in the polygonal
style
 , still exist, to which Roman
gates
  were added. Roman remains have also been discovered within the town, and remaijis of tombs outside, originally covered by tumuli, which have now disappeared, so that Dennis wrongly took them for megalithic remains. Pitigliano, some 12 .m. to the S.W., is another
Etruscan
  site.
See G. Dennis, Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria (London,1883), 1. 496; ii. 275; A. Pasqui in Notizie degli scavi (1882), 52.
