<P> The Apennine culture is a cultural complex of central and southern Italy that, in its broadest sense (including the preceding Protoapennine B and following Subapennine facies), spans the Bronze Age . In the narrower sense more commonly used today, it refers only to the later phase of the Middle Bronze Age in the 15th and 14th centuries BCE . </P> <P> The people of the Apennine culture were, at least in part, cattle herdsmen grazing their ungulates over the meadows and groves of mountainous central Italy, including on the Capitoline Hill at Rome, as shown by the presence of their pottery in the earliest layers of occupation . The primary picture is of a population that lived in small hamlets located in defensible places . There is evidence that herdsmen, when traveling between summer pastures, built temporary camps or lived in caves and rock shelters . However, their range was not confined to the hills, nor was their culture confined to herding cattle, as shown by sites like Coppa Nevigata, a well - defended and somewhat sizeable coastal site where a variety of subsistence strategies were practiced alongside advanced industries such as dye production . </P> <P> The Terramare was a Middle and Recent Bronze Age culture, between the 16th and the 12th centuries B.C., in the area of what is now Pianura Padana (specially along the Panaro river, between Modena and Bologna). Their total population probably reached an impressive peak of more than 120,000 individuals near the beginning of the Recent Bronze Age . In the early period they lived in villages with an average population of about 130 people living in wooden stilt houses: they had a square shape, built on land but generally near a stream, with roads that crossed each other at right angles . Over the lifetime of the Terramare culture, these settlements developed into stratified zones with larger settlements of up to 15 - 20Ha (approximately 1500 - 2000 people) surrounded by smaller villages . Especially in the later period, the proportion of settlements that were fortified approaches 100% . </P> <P> It has been suggested that the Terramare of Emilia acted as stores and starting points for trades of the Baltic amber and the tin from Erzgebirge through the Val Camonica and the Po River, towards the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and Greece . </P>
