	PRAENESTE - LoveToKnow Article on PRAENESTE
		The nuts of Praeneste were famous and its roses were amongst the finest in Italy.
		It was probably in 82 B.C. that the city was removed from the hill-side to the lower ground at the Madonna dell Aquila, and that the temple of Fortune was enlarged so as to include much of the space occupied by the ancient city.
		But Praeneste was chiefly famed for its great temple of Fortune and for its oracle, in connection with the temple, known as the Praenestine lots (sortes praencstinae).

	Roman And Latin League - Praeneste
		Praeneste annexed the smaller townships in her neighborhood in the same way as Rome was doing and at one time was known to have at least eight towns in her power.
		An excursion to Palestrina, the ancient Praeneste, and a study of her tombs will therefore carry one back by almost infinitesimal stages from imperial Rome to the age of her beginnings, illustrating during all this time the action of the influences of the Orient, of Greece, and of Etruria within the purely Latin sphere.
		Praeneste was then reckoned in the class of allied cities (civitas foede-rata) preserving its municipal autonomy, but subject to the periodical supervision of Roman magistrates and supplying a considerable military contingent in time of war.

	Praeneste (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		After Rome was weakened by the Gauls of Brennus (390 BCE), Praeneste switched allegiances and fought Rome in the long struggles that culminated in the Latin War, in which the Romans were victorious and Praeneste was punished by the loss of some of its territory.
		It was probably after the disaster of 82 BCE that the city was removed from the hillside to the lower ground at the Madonna dell Aquila, and that the sanctuary and temple of Fortune was enlarged so as to include much of the space occupied by the ancient city.
		A bishop of Praeneste is first mentioned in A.D. The cathedral, just below the level of the temple, occupies the former civil basilica of the town, upon the facade of which was a sun-dial described by Varro (traces of which may still be seen).

		Praeneste, Monte Glicestro with citadel, as seen from Valle di Pepe.] It is quite evident that Cave was never a large town, and it seems most probable that she realized that an amicable understanding with Praeneste was discreet.
		Praeneste because of her position and wealth was the haughtiest member of the newly made confederation, and with the more rapid growth of Rome became her most hated rival.
		Praeneste certainly considered herself a federate city, on the old terms of equality with Rome, she demanded and partially retained control of her own land, and preserved her freedom from Rome in the matter of city elections and magistrates.

		Marius and the brother of Telesinus were besieged in Praeneste by Sulla.
		Telesinus himself, at the head of an army of 40,000 men, had marched to the neighbourhood of Praeneste, apparently with the intention of relieving the town, but in reality with another object, which he kept a profound secret.
		Pontius fell in the fight ; his head was cut off, and carried under the walls of Praeneste, to let the younger Marius know that his last hope of succour was gone.

	Palestrina
		Palestrina is the current name of Praeneste, one of the oldest towns of Latium and more important than Rome for many centuries: the town was at the very top of the hill and it was strongly fortified, nevertheless it could not resist the expansion of Rome.
		An imperial villa was built in Praeneste and from Augustus to the IVth century the emperors often came to Praeneste to escape the Roman summer.
		Praeneste in medieval times changed its name and became Palestrina, it was conquered by the Lombards and eventually was acquired by the Colonna family.

		His system, PRAENESTE, is based on the idea that, just like a sixteenth-century singer improvising on a cantus, the computer should work forward in time without the benefit of being able to back up and start over.
		For PRAENESTE, being correct is a matter of course; its main concern is with style (as described by Jeppesen).
		PRAENESTE is quite successful, and the results resemble Jeppesen's examples (especially those of the first three species) remarkably.

		Approaching the gardens from the house, Scheemaker’s copy of the Tivoli statue of the horse attacked by a lion (representing the domination of Rome - the lion - over Tivoli - the horse) draws the visitor across the bowling green, and itself is the point from which to view the distant Eyecatcher and Cuttle Mill.
		Further to the left, viewing the River Cherwell from Scheemaker’s statue of the dying gladiator, you have no indication that the arcaded Praeneste lies under your feet (The Praeneste was inspired by the Temple of Fortune at ancient Praeneste, now known as Palestrina).

		The relief is from the temple of Fortuna, Primigenia in Praeneste.
		The bireme depicted on the Praeneste relief seems to be one of a type developed by the Romans in the first century BC, from the Liburnian, which was a single banked raider, used by pirates around the coast of Yugoslavia.

		If one assumes (as Fora does) that seu is used to qualify or explain the meaning of lusio, then lusionis seu conpositionis should imply that the lusio was used as a means of fixing the gladiatorial pairs in advance of the munera.
		The spectacle at Praeneste was unusual in some way that required the special indulgentia of the emperor, though it is not clear in what this consisted.

		The subsequent demand for cistae and mirrors caused the systematic plundering of the Praenestine necropolis.

		Most interesting is Pensabene's [hereafter P.] good discussion of Praeneste's place within the political and religious milieux of central Italy as documented by changes in votive practice from the sixth through the third centuries BCE.
		It is generally agreed that the most important cult sites in republican Praeneste were those of Fortuna and Hercules, and to these Pensabene would add a third sanctuary of an unidentified female deity near the church of S. Lucia that has yielded a significant group of votives.
		This is also a time when Praeneste was in close contact with Etruria and when Praeneste controlled the lines of communication through the Sacco valley to Campania.

		15.) At Praeneste the oracles were derived from lots (sortes], consisting of sticks of oak with ancient characters graven upon them.
		These lots were said to have been found by a noble Praenestine of the name of Numerius Suffucius, inside of a rock which he had cleft open at the command of a dream by which he had been haunted.
		The lots, when an oracle was to be given, were shaken up together by a boy, after which one was drawn for the person who consulted the goddess.

		Each of them was the stronghold and market-place of the country immediately about it, and therefore had a life of its own, so that although Latin was spoken in all of them it varied from one to the other.
		The favorable position of the city on the Tiber for trade and defence gave it a great advantage over its rivals, and it soon became the commercial and political centre of the neighboring territory.
		The most important of these villages, Tusculum, Praeneste, and Lanuvium, were not more than twenty miles distant, and the people in them must have come constantly to Rome to attend the markets, and in later days to vote, to hear political speeches, and to listen to plays in the theatre.

	A historical synopsis of the Anicii
		Although Praeneste did not gain the franchise until much later, the Anicii of Praeneste were obviously Roman citizens, and quite possibly members of the Ordo Equester, but as this is sheer speculation, it would be impossible to say whether they were senior knights, holding the Public Horse, or more junior in social rank.
		Aside from these notices, which provide no further information, the next reference is made by Livy which mentions a statue in Praeneste in honor of one Marcus Anicius, who served as the commander of the garrison at Casilinum in 216 BC, presumably defending against Hannibal.
		This gentleman was noted as being from Praeneste and as being the who ennobled his family.

		Finding himself well sped from Praeneste, where his pursuers lay sound asleep, Marcian felt an extravagant joy; he could scarce command himself to speak a few necessary words, in an ordinary tone, to the leader of the guard with which he was provided; to shout, to sing, would have better suited his mood.
