ARCHAEOLOGISTS IDENTIFY A SUBMERGED TEMPLE OF THE NABATAEANS IN POZZUOLI Two marble altars from the Roman period. At the time, Pozzuoli, known as Puteoli in antiquity, was the main hub for goods exported from Campania. The Nabataeans - an Arab people whose territory at its apex in the 1st century B.C. stretched from the Euphrates to the Red Sea -established a base at Puteoli and constructed a shrine dedicated to the tutelary god, Dusares. Local volcanic bradyseismic activity raised and lowered the geology on the Phlegrean Peninsula that resulted in parts of Puteoli being submerged. Underwater Nabataean temple discovered in major archaeological find in Italy| The Art Newspaper
