Liternum, Archaeological site near Gulf of Naples, Italy
The remains of Liternum include Roman villas, public buildings, and an ancient necropolis spread across the excavated area in Giugliano in Campania.
Established as a Roman colony in 194 BCE, Liternum developed into a strategic settlement for veterans of the Second Punic War near the Mediterranean coast.
The archaeological excavations between 1923 and 1937 revealed a forum, temple, basilica, and small theater from the early Roman Empire period.
The site provides informational panels and guided tours for visitors interested in exploring the remains of Roman urban architecture and daily life.
Scipio Africanus, the Roman general who defeated Hannibal, chose Liternum for his exile and remained there until his death in 183 BCE.
