DICEARCHIA

Poor and the fragmentary evidence on the historical ancient Greek Pozzuoli age. The town was founded around 530 BC By a group of exiles Sami who gave the name of Dicearchia whom is known by the Greek tradition historiographical. Another tradition Dicearchia wants to be a port (epìneion) Cumans and does not mention any foundation samia.La contradiction between these two news is only apparent. May Cumans were implanted, the place where the Roman would sort Puteoli, one of those stops, as Partenope and Miseno, ensured them control of the Gulf of Naples is very likely. The Sami would have appeared on the scene at a later time. When, in fact, the tyrant Policrate impose his regime on the island, many aristocrats were forced to abandon their homeland, largely heading towards southern Italy. It is not surprising that a group of these exiles can be directed to Cuma, whose motherland was bound to Calcide Samos old bonds of friendship, and that the time was governed by an oligarchy land naturally well disposed toward men of the same class. I Cumani, who were then facing pressure from the Etruscans, had some welcome help and rely quell'insperato to protect one of the key points of their system costiere.Si stations can accept therefore that the Sami have given area called Dicearchia (<<La cities of the right governo>>), to remember the circumstances of their appropriation, the reasons of the '<<ingiusto governo>> tyrannical patria.La in almost total absence of archaeological evidence dating to the period prior to the installation of a Roman colony, while taking into account the profound work of reclamation that the place then had to suffer, however, raises serious doubts about the consistency and durability dell'insediamento samio. In any case it must have been of limited size and he had never had city status, as demonstrated by the lack of its own coinage. And 'likely therefore that it is not convulse survived the events that marked the sunset l'cumana and the emergence of the tyrannical regime of Aristodemo.Non there are sufficient grounds to postulate a continuity Dicearchia settlement between the Greek and Roman Puteoli. Probably the interest around the site and its history is rekindled until the Romany, during the Second Punic War, is interested in the area for a port impiantarvi and then there dedussero a colony in 194 Others C.. Certificates first name Dicearchia fact appear only in the second century. A. C. And in writers, the historian Polybius greek and poet Lucilio linked to the circle of whose members Scipioni, very sensitive to the charm of Hellenic culture were among the promoters of the deduction of colonies in the Maritime region of Campania (over Puteoli, Liternum and contemporary Volturnum) and among the first to Better the area flegrea to build their houses. The resumption name Dicearchia Roman appears in a literary phenomenon, motivated filellenismo of nobiles scholars and cristallizzatosi then in the Greek tradition historiographical.
