Campanian Ignimbrite eruption The Campanian Ignimbrite eruption (CI, also CI Super-eruption) was a major volcanic eruption in the Mediterranean during the late Quaternary, classified at 7 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI). The event has been attributed to the Archiflegreo volcano, the 13 km caldera of the Phlegraean Fields, located 20 km west of Mount Vesuvius under the western outskirts of the city of Naples and the Gulf of Pozzuoli, Italy. Estimates of the date, magnitude and the amount of ejected material have varied considerably during several centuries of investigation. This applies to most significant volcanic events that originated in the Campanian Plain, as it is one of the most complex volcanic structures in the world. However, continued research, advancing methods and accumulation of volcanological, geochronological, and geochemical data has amounted to ever more precise dating.

Subterranean Toledo Still unbeknownst to many, underneath the historic town of Toledo, Spain there is an underground city made up of long-forgotten wells, caves, Roman, Arabic, and Judaic baths, as well as centuries-old cemeteries. In recent years though, more and more people have been showing interest in this often-forgotten history, and now there are at least three separate professional tour groups (Cuéntame Toledo, Visitoledo, and Rutas de Toledo) giving tourists a closer look at Toledo’s rich underground history. Even restaurants will offer a peak into the roman ruins underneath their building’s floor as Mercado de San Agustin will do through the help of glass floors, or there are places such as La Cava, that go so far as to boast a dining experience in the cellars of their building by an ancient roman cistern. In fact, the interest in Toledo’s subterranean history reached such a high point that a band named, “Subterráneo” made a song named “Toledo” in 1987. In order for this subterranean history of Toledo to mean something though, and not just get lost in history once again as the public loses attention of these historical sites for one reason or another, it is important to gather information and make it very accessible to people who have the interest in learning more, which is exactly what this page will seek to do.

Kings of Alba Longa The kings of Alba Longa, or Alban kings (Latin: "reges Albani"), were a series of legendary kings of Latium, who ruled from the ancient city of Alba Longa. In the mythic tradition of ancient Rome, they fill the 400-year gap between the settlement of Aeneas in Italy and the founding of the city of Rome by Romulus. It was this line of descent to which the Julii claimed kinship. The traditional line of the Alban kings ends with Numitor, the grandfather of Romulus and Remus. One later king, Gaius Cluilius, is mentioned by Roman historians, although his relation to the original line, if any, is unknown; and after his death, a few generations after the time of Romulus, the city was destroyed by Tullus Hostilius, the third King of Rome, and its population transferred to Alba's daughter city.

Soluntum Soluntum or Solus (Greek: Σολόεις , Thuc.; Σολοῦς , Diod.: Eth. Σολουντῖνος , Diod., but coins have Σολοντῖνος ; Italian "Solunto") was an ancient city of Sicily, one of the three chief Phoenician settlements in the island, situated on the north coast, about 16 km east of Panormus (modern Palermo), and immediately to the east of the bold promontory called Capo Zafferano. It lay 183 m above sea level, on the southeast side of Monte Catalfano 1225 ft , in a naturally strong situation, and commanding a fine view. Some scholars contend that Soluntum and Solus were two different cities at close quarters, Soluntum, higher upon the hillside, being a later habitation displacing the earlier settlement of Solus, at a lower elevation. Its current site is at the "località" of Sòlanto in the "comune" of Santa Flavia.

History of Naples The history of Naples is long and varied. The first Greek settlements were established in the Naples area in the 2nd millennium BC. During the end of the Greek Dark Ages a larger mainland colony – initially known as Parthenope – developed around the 9-8th century BC, and was refounded as Neapolis in the 6th century BC: it held an important role in Magna Graecia. The Greek culture of Naples was important to later Roman society. When the city became part of the Roman Republic in the central province of the Empire, it was a major cultural center. Virgil is an example of the political and cultural freedom of Naples. Naples is a microcosm of the European history because it saw several civilizations come and go, each leaving traces also in its art and architecture. Naples was the capital of duchies, kingdoms, and one Empire, and it was a primary cultural center (especially during the Renaissance humanism, 17th, 18th, 19th centuries). Naples was an advocate for Italian unification during the Neapolitan War. Today Naples is part of the Italian Republic, and is the third largest municipality (central area) by population, with the second largest metropolitan area (after Milan).

Foce del Sele The Foce del Sele or "mouth of the River Sele" or Heraion at the mouth of the Sele is an archaeological site that contained an Ancient Greek sanctuary complex dedicated to the goddess Hera in Magna Grecia or southern Italy. It was originally located at the mouth of the Sele, about 9 kilometres north from the city of Paestum, then the Greek city of Poseidonia, which is famous for its three standing Greek temples. It is now in the modern commune of Capaccio-Paestum, some 50 miles south of Naples. The sanctuary is about 1.5 kilometres from the modern coast as a result of the deposition of alluvial sediment by the river.

Nerulum Nerulum was an ancient town in the interior of Lucania, mentioned by Livy during the wars of the Romans in that country, when it was taken by assault by the consul Lucius Aemilius Barbula, 317 BCE (Liv. ix. 20). The only other notice of it is found in the Itineraries, from which we learn that it was situated on the high-road from Capua to Rhegium (modern Reggio di Calabria), at the point of junction with another line of road which led from Venusia by Potentia (modern Potenza) and Grumentum towards the frontiers of Bruttium (Itin. Ant. pp. 105, 110; Tab. Peut.). The names and distances in this part of the Tabula are too corrupt and confused to be of any service: the Itinerary of Antoninus places it 14 miles (or according to another passage 16 miles) north of Muranum, the site of which is clearly ascertained at Morano Calabro. If the former distance be adopted as correct, it must have been situated at, or in the neighbourhood of, Rotonda, near the sources of the river Lao (Holsten. "Not. ad Cluv." p. 293; Romanelli, vol. i. p. 389). The editors of the "Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World" place Nerulum at Castelluccio (in the Province of Potenza, Basilicata, Italy).
