Trebula Balliensis

Trebula Balliensis is an ancient Roman settlement near Pontelatone with ruins, walls, and foundations scattered across the surrounding hills. The remains reveal the layout of a prosperous community with distinct residential and commercial zones from antiquity.

The settlement gained Roman citizenship in antiquity and became integrated into Roman society. This transition marked the shift from an independent local community to part of the broader Roman state.

The area around this ancient settlement was known for producing wine that brought prosperity to the local population in Roman times. Walking through the region today, you can sense how central this agricultural wealth was to daily life and trade.

The site lies near Pontelatone in the province of Caserta and is reachable via modern roads. The ruins spread across hilly terrain, so wear good walking shoes and allow time to explore the scattered remains.

A gate at the site blends local Oscan and Roman building techniques in a distinctive way. This mixture shows how two cultures merged their own construction styles into one structure.
