Lucera: Verskil tussen weergawes

Argeologiese vondste het 'n nedersetting uit die [[bronstydperk]] gevind en die streek was deur die Dauni-stam bewoon. Die stad is dalk genoem na 'n legendariese Daui-hoofman ''Lucius'' of na die godin ''Lux Cereris''. 'n Ander moontlikheid is dat dit [[Etruskers|Etruskies]] is: ''luc'' = hout en ''eri'' = heilig; die ''heilige woud''.

 

====Tweede Samniete-oorlog====

Die Romeinse leër het in 321 v.C. gedink dat die stad deur die [[Samniete]] beleër word. Hulle wou die bewoners help, maar het self in 'n hinderlaag geloop en is in die [[Slag van die Koudynse Passe]] verslaan. Die Samniete het daarná Lucera beset, maar hulle is na 'n opstand verdryf. In 320 v.C. het die stad tog die beskerming van die Romeinse gesoek en die Senaat het dit die status van 'n ''Colonia Togate'' gegee. Dit beteken dat hulle deur die Senaat bestuur is. Die bande met Rome is verder versterk deur 2 500 Romeinse koloniste wat na die stad gestuur is. Sedert hierdie tyd was Lucera altyd 'n troue bondgenoot van Rome.

 

[[Pompeius]] het in Lucera sy hoofkwartier gevestig in die tyd van die [[burgeroorlog]] met [[Julius Caesar]]. Die stad het skielik die heersende party verwelkom en Caesar het dit gespaar. In die volgende burgeroorlog tussen [[Augustus Octavianus|Octavianus]] en [[Marcus Antonius]] is die stad verwoes en Octavianus het later baie van sy veterane op die ruïnes gevestig. Daarmee het 'n nuwe bloeityd begin. Daar is talle oorblyfsels uit die keisertyd, soos die amfiteater.

 

Die val van die [[Wes-Romeinse Ryk]] beteken 'n tyd van neergang. Dit het 'n [[Lombarde|Lombardiese]] stad geword en in 663 het die Bisantynse keiser dit vernietig. Later het dit opnuut 'n twisappel geword. In [[802]] het die Lombardiese [[hertogdom Benevento|hertog Grimoald III]] die op die Frankiese hertog van Spoleto verower.

Sights in Lucera include:

*the Roman Amphitheater, dating to [[Augustus]]' times and one of the largest in southern Italy. It was discovered in 1932: during the excavations, a statue of Augustus was found in the site. It measures c. {{convert|131|by|99|m|ft}}, of elliptical plan, and could host from 16,000 to 18,000 spectators. The area measures 75.2 x 43.2&nbsp;m.{{clarify|date=June 2014}} The amphitheater could be accessed from two large portals, one towards Lucera and one towards Foggia; the two side accesses, as well as the external walls, are no more visible. It was perhaps destroyed in the capture of the city by the Eastern Roman Emperor [[Constans II]] in 663.

The commune of Lucera is home to the ''[[Denominazione di origine controllata]]'' (DOC) wine of Cacc'e mmitte di Lucera. This red [[Italian wine]] is said to have gotten its name from the local dialect referring to the act of pouring a wine from [[cask]] to [[goblet]] and going back for seconds. The DOC includes 80 [[hectare]]s (198 acres) of land around the commune with all grapes destined for DOC wine production needing to be [[harvested (wine)|harvested]] to a [[yield (wine)|yield]] no greater than 14 [[tonnes]]/ha. The wine is made primarily (35-60%) from the [[Uva di Troia]] grape (known in Lucera under the synonym ''Sumarello''), [[Montepulciano (grape)|Montepulciano]], [[Sangiovese]] and [[Malvasia nera]] (the latter three grapes collectively making up between 25-35% of the blend). White wine [[grape varieties]] are also permitted in this red wine with [[Trebbiano Toscano]], [[Bombino bianco]] and [[Malvasia del Chianti]] collectively allowed to account for between 15-30% of the blend. The finished wine must attain a minimum [[alcohol level]] of 11.5% in order to be [[labelled (wine)|labelled]] with the Cacc'e mmitte di Lucera DOC designation.<ref name="Saunders">P.
