commissioners, even though the following chapters on colonial landscape and religioustrends will not cover these sites.South-Central ItalyThe colonies founded in South-Central Italy were strategically peppered across theregions now known as Campania, Molise, Northern Puglia, and Northern Basilicata. Thesix colonial commissions for which Livy tells us the commissioners' names are: Cales(334); Saticula (313); the supplement to Venusia in 200; Volturnum, Liternum, Puteoli,Salernum and Buxentum (194); Sipontum (194); and the supplement to Sipontum andBuxentum in 185. 7 Through epigraphic evidence, we also know that P. Claudius Pulcherwas one of the commissioners to supplement Cales in 185. Finally, we know almost allof the commissioners' names for the four colonies founded in modern Calabria: Croton(194), Tempsa (194), Copia/Thurii (193), and Vibo Valentia (192). 9 The eleven South-Central Italian colonies for which there is no record of the commissioners include:Fregellae (328 and 316), Luceria (315), Suessa and Pontia (313), Interamna Lirinas (312),Sora (303), Minturnae and Sinuessa (296/5), Paestum (273), Beneventum (268), and7 The modern names for, or nearest to, these colonies are as follows (Cf. RE under each colony's name):Cales (Calvi Risorta), Saticula (S. Agati dei Goti), Venusia (Venosa), Volturnum (Castel Volturno),Liternum (Lago Patria/Literno), Puteoli (Pozzuoli), Salernum (Salerno), Buxentum (Policastro Bussentino),and Sipontum (Siponto/ Manfredonia).8 C/i6.1283orI 2 .I.32p. 200.9 The modern names for or near these colonies are: Croton (Crotone), Tempsa (near Nocera by mouth ofSavuto River), Copia/Thurii (Thurio), and Vibo Valentia (Vibo Valentia). These commissions will figurein the analysis of the composition and motivations of the colonial commissioners in this chapter, but they donot appear in the other chapters of this work because of their distance from the Samnite and Campaniancultures under study there.57
