This article appears in Volume V27, Page 1012 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VENTIMIGLIA (Fr. Vintimille, anc. Album Intimilium or Albintimilium) , a frontier fortress, seaport and episcopal see of Liguria, Italy, in the province of
Porto
  Maurizio, 94 M. W. by S. of Genoa by rail, and 4 M. from the Franco-Italian frontier, 45 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (1901) 3452 (town); 11,468 (commune). The present
Gothic
 
cathedral
  is built on the ruins of an earlier Lombard
church
 , and this again on a Roman building, possibly a temple. The ruins of the ancient town are situated in the plain of Nervia, 3 M. to the E. of the modern. It was a
municipium
  with an extensive territory, and of some import-. ante under the
Empire
 , but was plundered by the partisans of Otho in A.D. 69. Remains of a theatre are visible, and remains of many other buildings have been discovered, among them traces of the ancient city walls, a fine mosaic, found in 1852 but at once lestroyed, and a number of tombs to the west of the theatre. The caves of the Balzi Rossi have proved
rich
  in
palaeolithic
  remains of the
Quaternary
  period.
See Notizie degli Scavi, passim, especially 1877, 288 (G. Rossi).
