Trebula Mutuesca

Trebula Mutuesca comprises the remains of a Roman town spread across three hills, featuring an amphitheater, thermal baths, and ancient road sections that are still visible. The archaeological structures reveal the typical layout of a Roman settlement with organized public and private spaces.

The Romans conquered this Sabine settlement in 290 BCE and transformed it from a small village into a town with organized municipal offices and a forum. This transformation led to urban development with standardized Roman structures.

The temple dedicated to Feronia served as a central meeting place where residents gathered for religious ceremonies and community events. People honored this goddess with rituals connected to farming and the fertility of the land.

An archaeological museum displays objects from different periods including terracotta items, ceramics, and stone inscriptions. The site itself is open and the remains are scattered across the landscape, making it easy to explore the area at your own pace.

A rectangular cistern discovered in 2022 on Castellano hill showcases Roman engineering and had the capacity to store about 80,000 liters of water. This water storage system reveals how essential reliable water supply was for urban infrastructure.
