 |  |  | 199 BC: Encyclopedia II - Capua - HistoryThe name of Capua comes from the Etruscan, Capue. The meaning remains unknown. Its foundation is attributed by Cato the Elder to the Etruscans, and the date given as about 260 years before it was "taken" by Rome. If this be referred, not to its capture in the second Punic War (211 BC) but to its submission to Rome in 338 BC, we get about 600 BC as the date of its foundation, a period at which Etruscan power was at its highest, and which may perhaps, therefore, be accepted. Like many founded cities, however, it probably replaced an earlier settlement, although it is impractica ...

 |  |  | 199 BC: Encyclopedia II - Empress Lü Zhi - As empress dowagerEmpress Dowager Lü quickly exerted even more influence on the reign of her son than even she did as empress.

She placed Consort Qi in prisoner clothes and stock and forced her to conduct hard labor -- grinding rice. She also summoned Prince Ruyi to the capital, intending to kill them together.

 |  |  | 199 BC: Encyclopedia II - Empress Lü Zhi - DeathIn 180 BC, Grand Empress Dowager Lü was making sacrifices to the gods at Bashang. As she was returning to the capital after the sacrifices, she saw something that appeared to be a blue-haired dog charging her armpit and then suddenly disappearing. A warlock informed her that the object was Prince Ruyi's spirit. She became apprehensive and began to suffer pain in her armpit, which eventually became a major illness. She died later that year and was buried with her husband.
In the aftermaths of her death, the officials would plot against the Lü clan and have Grand Empress Dowager Lü's family members overthrown and executed. S ...

 |  |  | 199 BC: Encyclopedia II - Capua - RemainsNo pre-Roman remains have been found within the town of Capua itself, but important cemeteries have been discovered on all sides of it, the earliest of which go back to the 7th or 6th century BC.
The tombs are of various forms, partly chambers with frescoes on the walls, partly cubical blocks of peperino, hollowed out, with grooved lids. The objects found within them consist mainly of vases of bronze (many of them without feet, and with incised designs of Etruscan style) and of clay, some of Greek, some of local manufacture, and of pa ...

However, Lü, her children, and her father-in-law did not go to the then-remote Principality of Han, but stayed in Liu's home county of Pei (in modern Xuzhou, Jiangsu), either because of Han's remoteness or because they were prevented from ...
