Luna (Etruria)
Luna (mod. Luni) was an ancient city of Etruria, Italy.
Luni is 4 miles southeast of modern Sarzana. It was the frontier town of Etruria, on the left bank of the river Macra (now Magra), the boundary in imperial times between Etruria and Liguria. When the Romans first appeared in these parts, however, Etruscans and the Ligurians were already in possession of the territory.〔Livy 41.13.4〕
==Harbour==
It derived its importance mainly from its harbour,〔Pliny NH 3.8; Strabo 5.2.5〕 which (according to the 1911 ''Encyclopædia Britannica'') was the gulf on the Tyrrhenian Sea now known as the Gulf of Spezia or La Spezia Gulf, and not merely the estuary of the Macra as some authors have supposed.〔Strabo 5.2.5〕 The town was apparently not established until 177 BC,〔 when a colony of 2000 Roman citizens was founded there,〔 though the harbour is mentioned by Ennius, who sailed from there to Sardinia in 205 BC under Manlius Torquatus. It was also being contested by the Romans as early as 195 BC, who were fighting the Ligurians and Apuans in the area.〔Livy 34.8.4-5,34.56.1-2, 39.21.1-539.32.1-3〕
The site was used as a base for the quarrying of marble from the marble quarries of modern-day Carrara,〔Strabo 5.2.5,〕 as the marble in that quarry is fine, and the harbour allowed the marble to be shipped to Rome easily.〔
