Sinuessa, Ancient Roman colony in Sessa Aurunca, Italy.

The archaeological site of Sinuessa extends along the Tyrrhenian Sea coast, featuring structural remains and artifacts from the Roman period.

Founded in 296 BCE as a Roman colony, Sinuessa developed into a vital coastal settlement until Hannibal's forces damaged it in 217 BCE.

The thermal springs near Sinuessa, known as Aquae Sinuessanae, served as gathering places for Romans seeking therapeutic treatments and social interactions.

The ruins of Sinuessa are accessible through the modern town of Sessa Aurunca, with remnants of an aqueduct and other structures visible along the coast.

The site marks the last point where the Via Appia, a major Roman road, touched the Tyrrhenian Sea before turning inland toward Rome.
