Nemi Lake
is a small circular volcanic lake in the Lazio region of Italy 30 km (19 mi) south of Rome, taking its name from Nemi, the largest town in the area, that overlooks it from a height. The lake is most famous for its sunken Roman ships. These ships were very large and technologically advanced for their time. The lake is sacred to the goddess Diana and the site of the festival Nemoralia. Emperors Caligula and Tiberius sailed Lake Nemi not merely to cool off in summer, but to assert themselves as Nemorensis, rulers aligning with the Stars, wedded to Earth’s perpetual life-force. At the Hotel Diana on the Western edge of the crater at Via Nemorense, there is a fine exhibit of the archeological excavation of the late 1920s which exposed the enormous structure which Caligula had ordered built.

The legend oh the golden Brach
The Golden Branch was caught by Aeneas at the invitation of the Sibyl before attempting the journey into the realm of the dead. According to the ancient, this legend was a strange custom connected: only those who had managed to snatch a branch of the tree that grew in the precincts of the sanctuary of Diana at Nemi, killing the priest who watched over the place, could succeed him as “King of forest “. From this sacred and bloody rite, a Scottish scientist, James G. Frazer, developed the most comprehensive study on the anthropology of religion in the world, a work of almost 900 pages, which is a point of reference for any student.
