Abstract
It is difficult to say just how large any protohistoric settlement on the ridge of lava where Pompeii was to rise may have been. Not enough has been found in the way of pottery that can be referred to the inhumation culture of the Iron age pit tombs (a fossa, 9th-7th cent. B.C.), but in any case the lack of water here makes it unlikely that an inhabited center of any size existed before the middle of the 7th cent. B.C.
In the course of the 8th cent. B.C. Greek (Ischia and Cumae) and Etruscan colonization (Capua) in the territory of Campania stimulated the development of Pompeii as a city around the area of the Forum. A point of encounter for important trade routes, it became a clearing station for traffic towards the hinterland. Up until about the middle of the 5th cent. B.C. the city was dominated politically by the Etruscans, whose presence is verified by the finds of bucchero with Etruscan inscriptions. In the course of the 6th cent. B.C. the influence of the Greek culture is also documented by the terracottas which decorated the Temple of Apollo, by important ceramics and architectural elements that were part of the so-called Doric Temple. During the 5th cent. B.C., after the defeat of the Etruscans by the Greeks of Cumae and the Syracusans in the battle of Cumae in 474, the entire fertile Campanian countryside was occupied by Samnite peoples from the mountain hinterlands, both as a result of military operations and through a slow gradual penetration and assimilation with the local population. This was probably when Pompeii spread out over the entire lava ridge and was surrounded by walls.
