Pozzuoli's history

This Greek colony became Roman in 194 BC under the name Puteoli due to the smell of sulfur from “Solfatara” and “Fields of Fire”. Nearby lie the Flavian Amphitheater, Lake Averno, the area where the Roman naval base in Cape Misenum was set.

Esta colónia grega tornou-se romana em 194 aC com o nome de Puteoli devido ao cheiro a enxofre da 'Solfatara' e dos 'Campos de Fogo'. Nas proximidades situam-se o Anfiteatro Flávio, o Lago Averno, a zona onde existiu a base naval romana do Cabo Miseno.
