Ralph Van Deman Magoffin’s 1908 study of Praeneste, the hill town east of Rome now called Palestrina, maps its territory, walls, gates, water supply, fora and the great Temple of Fortuna Primigenia. A second part works through the inscriptions to reconstruct how the town was governed, before and after Sulla made it a colony as punishment for siding with Marius.
