Veii

Veii: city in the south of Etruria, one of the first targets of Roman expansion, modern Isola Farnese.

Etruscancity, situated eighteen kilometers north of Rome
Just like its southern neighbor, origins in the ninth century BCE; several earlier villages on hill tops unite; in Etruria, this stage is called the Villanova Period
c.700 BCE: Portonaccio sanctuary; finds in the Villa Giulia Museum in Rome
c.500 BCE: Flourishing of the Portonaccio sanctuary
Several conflicts in the fifth century BCE; first, Rome loses the battle of the Cremera, later Veii loses its territories on the east bank of the Tiber (Fidenae)
Veii appears to have been politically unstable because Livy mentions several systems of government
396 (Varronian Chronology) Captured by the Romans, led by a dictator, Marcus Furius Camillus; according to Livy, the city was entered through a tunnel (more)
Archaeological confirmation: disappearance of local pottery, replaced by Roman pottery; the city wall of Rome (the Servian Wall) was built out of tufa from a quarry in the ager Veientanus
The neighboring towns Falerii, Sutrium, and Nepe were next to be conquered by the Romans, and because Rome founded colonies over there, it was clear that Rome had greater ambitions
The Romans create four voting districts in the ager Veientanus
Later, there were Roman villas (e.g., Livia and Lucius Septimius Severus, grandfather of the emperor Septimius Severus)
