Grumo Appula is situated in earth in Bari on the first step South murgiano - East of the chief town pugliese. It position altimetrica passes from 181 mt. on the level of the sea in the inhabited center to 428 mt. on the level of the sea in the maximum elevation of mountain I Cheat.His/her setup and primarily level, with a mild climate type Mediterranean. It has a population of 12300 inhabitants and a territorial extension of 80 kmqs. According to some historical grumesis the first Clot belongs to the " peucetia ". These first Peucetis were skilled archers and carriers of rich shields, but more than of war dealt him with the job. The Peucetia corresponded to the actual province in Bari. The more cities notes in that period I am: BARIUM, BUTUNTUM, AZETIUM, NORBA, STEALS, BARDULI, TURENUM, NATIOLU, GNATIA, CANOSIUM, YDRUNTUM, BRUNDISIUM, RUDIAE, CAELIA, SPONTUM, LUCERIA, VIBINUM, AUSCULUM, VENUSIA, SILVIUM, GENUSIUM. It was obvious that, a great deal for time, the strategic and economic effectiveness of all these centers was insured from roads of connection, that didn't longitudinally branch him only but also transversally, tying mountains to sea in a continuous passage of men and commodities. Grumo to this point that the existence of Clot can be considered. GRUMUM rose really to assure the communications among the two fundamental urban lines, to connect the inside hilly zone to the lowland toward the sea. GRUMUM is the back Latin.

It needs present tener that, to that time, the territory of Clot was a great deal ampler than is today and that the Romans, in their voice Grumbestini only the inhabitants of Clot didn't understand, but also those of all the smaller urban agglomerations that to Clot they made head. Clot is mentioned in another ancient text " Geography " of Eliano. Of this epoch the names stay us gives to some territories of Clot names that introduced the presence of Roman latifundia of epoch Low Empire: Mascerano from Maiorianum, Agnano from Anniarum rus, that is " latifundium of the " Anniis "Fallen the empire Romano of west, the Byzantine empire of Constantinople and the Byzantines it stayed the Puglies they were possession for more than 5 centuries (536 - 1073), I save an interruption in the 9° century, when the Saracens prevailed.
