The Temple of Alatri, located within the grounds of the Villa Giulia, Rome, was built in 1891; detail, frontal view of the antefixa; Alatri (Latin: Aletrium) is a town and comune of province of Frosinone in the Italian region of the Lazio, with about 27,900 inhabitants. A part of the traditional region of Ciociaria, it is famous for its megalithic acropolis. Aletrium was a town of the Hernici which, together with Veroli, Anagni and Ferentino formed a defensive League against the Volsci and the Samnites around 550 BCE. In 530 BCE they allied with Tarquinius Superbus' Rome, confirming the Etruscan influence in the area attested also by archaeological findings. Alatri was defeated by Rome in 306 BCE and forced to accept the citizenship. In Cicero's time it was a municipium, and continued in this position throughout the imperial period. [This temple, ca. 300 BCE (re-constructed 1891) stands on the grounds of the Villa Giulia.] Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 2/10/2008)
