Katane, Sicily, c. 2nd - 1st Century B.C.
|Katane|, |Katane,| |Sicily,| |c.| |2nd| |-| |1st| |Century| |B.C.|, Katane was associated with the legend of Amphinomos and Anapias, who, on occasion of a great eruption of Etna, abandoned all their property and carried off their aged parents on their shoulders. The stream of lava itself was said to have parted, and flowed aside so as not to harm them. Statues were erected to their honour, and the place of their burial was known as the Campus Piorum. The Romans idolized the Katanean brothers as the embodiment of the Roman virtue pietas.
