Sito Archeologico di Cuma (in Italian)
Cumae (Ancient Greek: Κύμη, romanized: (Kumē) or Κύμαι(Kumai) or Κύμα(Kuma);[1] Italian: Cuma) was the first ancient Greek colony of Magna Graecia on the mainland of Italy and was founded by settlers from Euboea in the 8th century BC. It became a rich Roman city, the remains of which lie near the modern village of Cuma, a frazione of the comune Bacoli and Pozzuoli in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Campania, Italy.
The archaeological museum of the Campi Flegrei in the Aragonese castle contains many finds from Cumae.
