ΚΑΙΛΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΠΟΥΛΙΑ
An ancient center of Messapia mentioned by Pliny (HN 3.101) together
with Lupine and Brundisium. Its name is preserved in that of the modern town,
where remains of megalithic walls break the surface of the ground. The inscriptions
in the Messapian language from the necropoleis are notable and the rich funerary
material from numerous tombs, dating for the most part from the 4th-3d c. B.C.
The trozzella, a vase typical of the Messapian area, predominates. Archaeological
material from the site is in the museums at Taranto and at Brindisi.
