Alatri, Italy【Walking Tour】4K

A walking tour in 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶 , a city of about 28.000 inhabitants in the province of 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐞, region 𝗟𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗼.

According to Roman mythology, the god Saturn, once ousted by Jupiter and expelled from Olympus, would have come to the lands of Lazio and here he would have founded Alatri and other cities (called saturnian cities), giving rise to the golden age. According to another legend, the founders of Alatri are the ancient Cyclops, considered the only ones able to build its mighty walls.

Alatri was one of the centers of the Italic population of the Ernici. The foundation of Alatri dates back to the 16th century BC.
Around the middle of the 6th century BC, the four most important cities of the Ernici (Veroli, Anagni, Alatri and Ferentino) came together in a confederation (the Ernica League), in order to face the pressure of the Volsci and Sanniti. According to some sources, the League would have allied itself with the Rome of Tarquinio the Superb as early as 530 BC.

Subsequent attempts to expand Rome provoke conflicts with the Hernian League in 380 BC. and in 362 BC In the subsequent revolt of 306 BC Alatri remains faithful to the alliance with Rome and obtains to remain independent.

From this moment on, peace between Rome and Alatri lasts uninterrupted, favoring a beneficial cultural and economic development. The motto that is still in the coat of arms refers to the fidelity always shown: Vetustissima et Fidelissima Civitas Alatrensis.

With the Lex Iulia de civitate, in 90 BC the city receives a public order inspired by Roman institutions, obtaining full Roman citizenship and great benefits.

The presence of Christians in Alatri is not documented before 380, but it can be assumed that Christianity arrived already in the apostolic age, due to the conversion of the members of a Jewish settlement dating back to 63 BC. and which was repopulated in 49 after the expulsion of the Jews from Rome, by order of Claudius.

**Middle Age**
After the fall of Rome, the city of Alatri undergoes a slow process of decline, and the bishop becomes the only authority. The city suffered the barbarian invasions and the bloody war between Odoacer and Theodoric. But in 543 Alatri had to undergo the siege and sacking by Totila and was completely destroyed.
The following year (544) it was included in the Roman Duchy, formally subject to the Byzantine Empire, but in fact controlled by the Pope.

The medieval years were years of uncertainty for Alatri.
