734. Sovana (Pop.: 399), is a well maintained mediæval village in the municipality of Sorano, Province of Grosseto (Tuscany).

History:
from [Wikipedia]... Of Etruscan origins, Sovana became a Roman municipium, and, from the 5th century, an episcopal see. Conquered by the Lombards in 592-605, it was chosen as their administrative centre in the area. Later, when Roselle was abandoned due to Saracen ravages, it became the centre of the county under the Aldobrandeschi family. In the Middle Ages it was known as Soana.

Its importance declined when the county was acquired by the Orsini, who moved the capital to Pitigliano. In the mid-16th century Sovana was annexed by the Grand Duchy of Tuscany by Cosimo I de' Medici.

735. Teatro Marcello and Foro Piscario, Rome (Latium).
from [Wikipedia]: ...The Forum Piscarium was the fish market (forum venalium) of ancient Rome, north of the Roman Forum, between the Sacra Via and the Argiletum. It was burned in 210 BC and rebuilt the next year. In 179 it was incorporated in the general Macellum, built by Marcus Fulvius Nobilior in the same region.

This forum is called piscatorium in Livy, and piscarium in Varro and Plautus (Curc. 474).
