Pontremoli | 0 to 800 AD

Roman Period
The town has a long history, and its origins can be traced back to ancient times. It was an important center for trade and commerce during medieval times due to its strategic location along the route connecting Tuscany with northern Italy.

Migration Period and Early Medieval Era
With the decline of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century, Italy experienced a period of transition and change. Germanic tribes, such as the Visigoths and Ostrogoths, and Vandals, played roles in the migrations and invasions at this time.

Byzantine Influence
The Byzantine Empire, which had its capital in Constantinople, continued to exert influence in parts of Italy during the early medieval period. This influence was particularly notable in the central and southern regions.

Lombard Rule
In the sixth century, the Lombards, a Germanic people, invaded Italy and established their kingdom. The Lombard rule had a significant impact on the political and cultural landscape.
