Story of Genua
Since Genoa has a natural port of first rank, it must have been taken advantage of as a seaport as soon as one started to operate navigation in the Tyrrhenian sea. Nothing is known over a stay or an occupation by Greek from old sources but from the 4th century before Christ the discovery of a Greek cemetery indicates it. Via Venti Settembre this one was a number of graves, altogether 85, found, the large part dated for the end of 5 and the 4th century before Christ by these for the making. The corpses had been burned in any case and buried in little shaft graves in which the grave was covered even by a plate made of limestone. The urns correspond to the last rotfigurigen style and were imported mainly from Greece or Magna Graecia while the bronze objects from Etrurien and the brooches were coming from Gallien. This illustrates customs the early meaning of Genoa as a trading port and penetrating Greek because the usual practice the Ligurer was the Inhumation. One assumes it is that the name Genoa is deduced from the form of its shoreline this one reminded of a knee.
Appearing the roman is reported for the first time to 216 before Christ, of the destruction by the Karthager and the immediate reconstruction the romans made Genoa and Placentia their headquarters against the Ligurer by the romans 209 before Christ. One came there from Rome via these via Aurelia along the north west coast and their prolongation which got the name via Aemilia later; the latter became builtly only 109 before Christ and there must already have been a coastal street for a long time before at least as of 148 before Christ when this one was built eastward by Genoa via Postumia by Libarna, Dertona, Iria, Placentia, Cremona and of there. There is an inscription of 117 with the decision of the patroni Q. and M. Minucius from Genoa before Christ, with a decree of the Roman senate in a controversy genoese territory was included in agreement between the people of Genoa and the Langenses, the inhabitants of a neighboring hill town, this one in this. But none of the other inscriptions found in Genoa which practically all of them are Grabesinschriften can be assigned to the ancient town definitely; one can assume similarly that they were taken from other places over sea there.
