Santa Marinella (Santa Marinella)
Santa Marinella is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Rome in the Italian region Lazio, located about 60 km northwest of Rome.
It includes the beach resort of Santa Severa (the ancient Pyrgi), and a medieval castle.
In antiquity, Santa Marinella was the site of Punicum, the Etruscan port which served the city of Caere. Punicum was identified in the Peutinger Table, in which it is on the Via Aurelia 9km N of Pyrgi. The area had several scattered settlements in Etruscan times.
It was also later known as Aquae Caeretanae, a Roman resort and site of many opulent villas under the Empire.
There was a Sanctuary of Minerva overlooking the Punto della Vipera north of S. Marinella, finds from which are in the museum together with marble sculptures from the nearby villas, including an Apollo of Hellenistic type.

Italy was the native place of many civilizations such as the Italic peoples and the Etruscans, while due to its central geographic location in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, the country has also historically been home to myriad peoples and cultures, who immigrated to the peninsula throughout history. The Latins, native of central Italy, formed the Roman Kingdom in the 8th century BC, which eventually became a republic with a government of the Senate and the People. The Roman Republic initially conquered and assimilated its neighbours on the Italian peninsula, eventually expanding and conquering a large part of Europe, North Africa and Western Asia. By the first century BC, the Roman Empire emerged as the dominant power in the Mediterranean Basin and became a leading cultural, political and religious centre, inaugurating the Pax Romana, a period of more than 200 years during which Italy's law, technology, economy, art, and literature developed.
