	ITALIA - Spotlight On ... The Lakes of Italy
		Lake Albano lies 293 metres (961 feet) above sea level, is elliptical in shape and, with its smooth surface, functions as a natural amphitheatre.

		The excavation was led by Guido Ucelli and was reported in Le Nave di Nemi by Guido Ucelli (Rome, 1950).
		Nemi itself has a few late medieval to 18thâ‘century churches, but its main monument, dominating both town and landscape, is the Castello Ruspoli, the core of which dates to the 10th century.

		The lake Nemi ships were designed for the calm, freswater of a lake, so lead sheathing may seem innecessary, but it is an example of how well these boats were constructed, and demonstrates that they were well built and designed to last a long time, without being overbuilt.
		The lake Nemi ships have been hailed as masterpices of design, perfectly suited to the environment to which they operated, and the lead shething is the latest known example of the pracice, with the Kyrenia ship being the earliest.
		The main interst in the Lake Nemi ships is that they prove that the Romans were capable of building huge ships, as the grain carriers were reputed to be.

	Nemi
		Later on, possibly in connection with this cult (nothing substantial is known of the matter), Caligula built several very large and costly luxury barges for use on the lake.
		Found in 1446, they were salvaged from 1929 to 1932 by Mussolini, by lowering the lake level to expose the ships.
		A Nemi Ship Museum is being completed in the lakeside plain at the foot of the hill of Nemi, with replicas of the ships and some few remaining original artifacts.

	Lake Nemi (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Lake Nemi is an ancient lake that is located east of Rome in the Alban Hills where the temple of Diana once stood, surrounded by her sacred grove.
		In ancient times the lake was known as "Diana's Mirror" because the reflection of the moon upon Lake Nemi could be perfectly viewed from the temple.
		The Lady of the Lake was intimately connected with the guardian of the sacred grove of Diana.

	Nemi - Place of Mystery since Antiquity
		Lowering the level of the lake by this amount was a tremendous undertaking and represented a colossal quantity of water.
		The water sucked out of the lake was carried in four large pipes which in turn emptied into a huge header tank situated at the entrance of the Roman conduit which cut through the hillside from the lake to the surrounding countryside.
		The Roman majesty of the ship dominates the lake that appears, as perhaps it once was, to be the centre of the sacrarium: nothing has changed: among the shadows of the dark trees glows the Golden Bough of legend; on the moving luminescence of the Mirror of Diana the ship travels the course of centuries.

	Lake_Nemi - The Wordbook Encyclopedia
		Lake Nemi (Latin: Nemorensis Lacus) is a small circular volcanic lake in the Lazio region of Italy 30 kilometers south of Rome, taking its name from Nemi, the largest town in the area, that overlooks it from a height.
		Above the Lake stands a grove sacred to the goddess Diana.

	Lake Nemi \| The Rune
		The streets of Nemi wind narrowly up and down, and at the foot of the quaint strawberry hill town is a charming fountain topped with a statue of the maiden huntress, Artemide-Diana, the town's guardian Goddess.
		Nemi has a shady past, as vividly described by Frazer: over and over again, Rex Nemorensis, the King of the Wood, was cut down by a contender for the mystical Golden Bough.
		Other legends surrounding Nemi include statues that weep blood, the Roman emperor Tiberius' ghost haunting the crater, a specter of a young maiden wandering around the house of a noble family in Genzano, objects rolling uphill, esoteric night ceremonies in the woods, and a pervading odor of burning wax, with no candles in sight.

		From Diana's sanctuary a stream descends to Nemi, haunted by the water-nymph Egeria in league with a Rex Nemorensis, "Ruler of Woodlands" associated with Arthurian legends as "Fisher King" of the Grail Quest, with Diana his Lady of the Lake.
		Egeria's stream to Nemi thus invokes fountains and wellsprings of Earth Goddesses' ever-flowing ruby-elixir Amrita Kaliâ”from Inanna of the Gilgamesh epic through Ishtar of Sumer to Cybele, the Sybil of Cumae, whose oracular Stones of Splendor "uttered" (gave birth to, as from Uterus) prophecies fulfilled in Roman Emperors as godheads.

	The Mirror of Diana by A. R. Homer
		Lake Nemi, called "Diana's Mirror" in ancient times, lies cupped in a volcanic crater 20 miles south of Rome.

		The town of Nemi, one of the "Castelli Romani" hill towns in the Alban Hills, sits on the rim of the crater about 700 feet above the lake.

	'Landscape with Diana and Callisto, c.1757' , by Richard Wilson (1713 -1782) \| Artwork of the Month (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Lake Nemi was a popular destination among Grand Tour travellers and was also known as the mirror of the Roman goddess Diana (in Latin Speculum Dianae).
		Below the town of Nemi was believed to be a shrine to Diana, who for that shrine had the name Diana Nemorensis, i.e.
		‘The Lake of Nemi or Speculum Dianae with Dolbadarn Castle' in the City of Bristol Museum and Art Gallery is very close to the work at the Lady Lever and is probably the last version of the theme painted by Wilson; it was commissioned by Henry Blundell of Ince Hall in Lancashire.

	“Nothing to do with Aristodemus”
		It is generally accepted that a late Archaic bronze head from Diana's Arician sanctuary at Lake Nemi was part of a triple statue of the goddess as depicted on the late Republican coinage of P. Accoleius Lariscolus.
		Coins that bear an "enigmatic female head," variously identified as an eponymous nymph or the Sibyl of Cumae, will be the focus of my argument, especially six coins in the series Rutter identifies as belonging to Period 2, the second earliest issue.
		Their act is generally considered to have been preparatory to the imminent threat from the Etruscans; but could it have been post factum, i.e.

	Roman Road Walks by David Morton - Alban Hills and Lakes
		The early Latin tribes founded several major religious precincts: temples of Juno and Jupiter, and the sanctuary of Diana at Lake Nemi, whose presiding priest had to be a runaway slave who had killed his predecessor in single combat.
		We begin in Frascati, a lively town known for wine, baroque villas and a scenic position facing Rome. As we wind our way up through the woods, a panorama of the Apennines to the east begins to open. At the top of the hill is Tusculum, where many wealthy Romans including Cicero had villas.
		Optional jaunts: around Lake Albano to Marino and Castelgandolfo (where the Pope spends his summers); around Lake Nemi to Genzano. All offer excellent lake views and historical attractions.

	Italian Festivals & Events: Strawberry Festival
		The nearby town of Nemi offers an excellent escape from the imperial grandeur of the caput mundi, and provides the chance to honor something slightly more humble-the strawberry.
		Strawberries, one of the last temperate-climate fruit to be cultivated, were not introduced to European gardens until sometime in the 15th century and were thought to be a love potion because of their fragrance and sensuous color.
		Whatever the name, these red treats grow profusely on the hillsides surrounding Nemi, perhaps given their delectable flavor from the pure waters of the volcanic lake Nemi that shimmers nearby.

		The Nemi basin with Lake Nemi, situated in the Alban Hills south-east of Rome has been chosen as a pilot study area for the DEMOTEC project.
		The educational side to the choice of the Nemi area for the pilot model is well founded as the interrelationship between natural processes, human activity and the preservation of the cultural heritage sites is striking.
		The San Michele Chapel in Nemi is decorated with several frescos dating from the 15th century, and is used for detailed scale measurements.

	Holland: "Mysteries" of Diana's Cult at Lake Nemi in the Nottingham Collection
		The English ambassador at Rome in 1885 was Sir John Savile Lumley, who undertook the excavation of several trenches in the volcanic crater that holds Lake Nemi and the famed sanctuary of Diana in the Arician nemus, in cooperation with the landowner Prince Orsini.
		After two recent trips to Nottingham to study the collection, and one to Lake Nemi itself, I wish to present some results of my research.
		In this illustrated paper, I will first give a brief overview of the ancient sites located in the Lake Nemi crater, including the most recently published plans of the area of the sanctuary, the small theater, and the holiday villa, excavated by the Nordic Institute in 1998-2002, believed to have belonged to Julius Caesar.
