Tre Taverne

Tre Taverne (Latin: Tres Tabernae; Greek: Τρεῖς Ταβέρναι, Treis Tabernai) was a place on the ancient Appian Way, about 50 km (31 miles) from Rome, designed for the reception of travellers, as the name indicates.[2] The Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition identifies it as "an ancient village of Latium, Italy, a post station on the Via Appia, at the point where the main road was crossed by a branch from Antium".[citation needed] Around the 3rd century AD, the area was invaded by marshes, and the inhabitants of the nearby Ulubrae likely moved to Tres Tabernae, which grew of importance and became a Christian episcopal see with a Palaeo-Christian cathedral dedicated to St.The barbaric invasions in Italy caused a further expansions of the marshes[clarification needed], and Tres Tabernae declined so that, in 592, Pope Gregory I united its diocese to that of Velletri.[citation needed] The position of the Tres Tabernae is also shown in the Tabula Peutingeriana in a location south of Rome.
