Lake of Nemi. Italy
| Article ID | EUI4606 |
Title | Lake of Nemi. Italy |
View shows the Lake Nemi (Lago di Nemi) it is located in the Alban Hills in central Italy. The lake also developed into a recreational area for wealthy Romans and numerous villas were built around it, including one for Julius Caesar. The Roman Emperor Caligula (37-41 AD) had two showboats, the Nemi ships, constructed on the lake for his private pleasure and for cultic purposes. How long these giant barques were in use on the lake is unclear. However, they must have sunk or been sunk shortly after Caligula's fall. | |
