The original nucleus In
the middle of the fecund lowland
Campana,
the Campania
Felix
of the Romans, a territory of the
Liburni
(from Leuterni
from which Leboria
o Liburni)
an ancient population similar to the
Cimmeri,
whose confinements were bordered in the South by the Dukedom
of Naples, in the East and North by the
Clanio
river and in the West by the Tyrrhenian sea, the city
of Aversa rose even if recent studies points out it is of
Etruscal origin. Its plant appears perfectly inserted in the
bill bordered by the I° quintare SDV and by the SDVI
and by the II° quintare VKX and VKXI of the
pars
ultrata
of the DM and KM of the ager
campanus
of the Roman centuriation; the center of the bill was
formed by the sacred area of the Cathedral risen on the
ancient chapel Sanctu
Paulu at Averse. |

The
Village or Castle that Giovanni Villani will refer in the
Cronache.
Of the ancient city some belongings of the necropolis in the
northern area, near Teverola, some written words, reliefs of
animals, earthenware would remain as well as a net of
subterranean burrows, some of which still walkable, that
connected the varied sacred areas of the city among
them. |
