  Poggio Civitate Archaeological Excavation
Upon discovery, the Civitate A well's total diameter was circa.95m with an aperture of circa.45m, about half that of the well located within the area of the southern courtyard of the Archaic Period Building.
A general survey of ceramics from the site indicates that the most common shape of bases on vessels recovered from the floors of the three buildings of the 7th century architectural complex is the high, flaring base, sometimes referred to as a trumpet base.
In this and with numerous other examples of Archaic Period pottery from Poggio Civitate, the edge of the base tends to be rounded and the overall diameter of the base is substantially larger than those of the seventh century, typically about 1/4 to 1/3 of the overall diameter of the vessel's shoulder.

 The Political Aspects of S. Augustin's 'City of God' - The 'De Civitate Dei' in the Middle Ages
If we mean by the influence of the 'De Civitate Dei' that it caused people to think or to do things which, except for it they would not have thought or done, the problem of estimating that influence is hard to solve.
So with the 'De Civitate Dei.' Vast is its influence; still we must beware of the negative proposition, that if it had not been written, the course of mediæval history would have been materially different.
Augustine is the writer's acknowledged authority for the claim that the Romans were entrusted with the dominion of the world as a reward for their virtue; and Christians are bidden to imitate this self-sacrifice.

The Normans and the popes: the battle of Civitate (1053)
In order to understand the fluctuations of papal policy with regard to the Normans, it should be remembered that the church considered Mezzogiorno to be under the direct judicial authority of the Holy See.
Their aim was to force out the Normans, going as far as to make a pact with the Byzantines.

 The Political Aspects of S. Augustin's 'City of God' - The 'De Civitate Dei' in Later Days   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
THE mediæval unity was the grandest attempt in human history to base the structure of institutions upon righteousness, political, social and economic, no less than religious.
It has been thought that the second definition of a commonwealth in the ' De Civitate Dei,' that in which the ideas of justice and religion do not appear, may have had something to do with the development of the non-moral doctrine of the State.
These two religions are conceived as the binding force of two societies, the expression of two opposing passions: Fecerunt itaque civitates duas amores duo-- the passion for God and the passion for self.

 Saint Augustine
In De Civitate Dei, for example, Augustine suggests that God created only one soul, that of Adam, and subsequent human souls are not merely genealogical offshoots (as in traducianism) of that original soul, but they are actually identical to Adam's soul prior to assuming their own individual, particularized lives [De Civitate Dei, 13.14].
Not only does this avoid the mediation of the traducianist hypothesis, but it also manages to provide a theologically satisfying account of the universality of original sin without falling into the difficulties of God's placing an innocent soul into a sin-laden body, as would be the case in a general creationism.
De Civitate Dei XIV.28; XV.1 and 21; see Cranz 1972]: those who by means of grace renounce the self and turn towards God, as opposed to the vast majority who have renounced God and turned towards the self [De Civitate Dei XIV.28].

How remarkable it would be that even the most noble of philosophers failed to see a contradiction in the idea that something made by God has always existed.
Here he is probably alluding to the Vulgate text of Job 12:2, in which Job says, "You are solitary men, and with you wisdom shall die." The difference between "arises" (oritur) and "shall die" (morietur) is small.
The chapter divisions in De Civitate Dei are, at this point, somewhat unclear, and, as the editors of the Leonine Edition suggest, the quoted text is probably from cap.

 Saint Augustine
By the time Augustine completed De Civitate Dei in 427 C.E., he came even more emphatically to insist upon the conclusion to which his discussion in Ad Simplicianum had led him, i.e., that original sin is both universally debilitating and insuperable without the aid of unmerited grace [De Civitate Dei XIV.1].
De Civitate Dei XX.9], and the history that is visible to us is merely a vestige of the moral drama that takes place behind the scenes, defying the scrutiny of our weak and often presumptuous reason [De Civitate Dei XX.21 and 22].
De Civitate Dei is translated in The City of God Against the Pagans, translated by R.W. Dyson, Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought, Cambridge University Press 1998.

 Murlo's Etruscan Sanctuary
This is all conjecture: The Etruscans left few written records, and nobody knows what the complex at Poggio Civitate, a hill south of Siena near the town of Murlo, was.
However, the footprint our man left in an unfired roof tile is dramatic proof of the suddenness with which destruction came: life size terracotta statues of gods and sphinxes, roof tiles, frieze plaques with horse race and banquet scenes, pottery, jewelry, all was smashed and buried.
It would also explain why the hill is named Poggio Civitate, the hill of the cities, and the ritual nature of the complex's destruction, which my father suspected was carried out by Chiusi, who wanted to eliminate a political rival.

The ' De Civitate Dei' is not a treatise on politics.
Adversaries might even argue that all his emphasis on the external, on the given quality of grace, was due to his own experiences--just as Luther universalised his own inner life into the doctrine of justification by faith.
