Note: Ancient marketplace (macellum) of Pozzuoli (Roman Puteoli). When excavations began in the 18th century, the discovery of a statue of Serapis led to the building being misidentified as the city's serapeum, the Temple of Serapis. Historically, the site has sunk below sea level, then re-emerged. |
