Abstract
The seat of a Roman guild (schola) has been identified in the archaeological site of San Gaetano di Vada. The schola was related to a large store-house (horrea); from a wider perspective, it was part of a complex related to the harbour system of Volterra, the so-called Vada Volaterrana. A marble statue of Attis and the symbols minted on a token, both unearthed nearby, suggest that the collegium in charge of the schola and the horrea was that of the dendrophori. The cult of Cybele, Bellona and Attis is already attested epigraphically in Nothern Etruria (Volterra and Luni). The reform of this cult, famously enacted by Claudius, may have had important consequences on Volaterran region, due to the existing bonds between the Emperor and some members of the highly influential Volaterran family of the Caecina.
