Map of Ancient Latium Settlements

This relief map displays the principal cities of ancient Latium, including Rome, Gabii, Veii, and Satricum. Inhabited by the Latin people, this area, known as Latium vetus , saw early urbanization and cultural development by the 8th c. BC. Recent archaeological dating at sites like Fidenae and Satricum has revised earlier chronologies by up to a century.
