Anxanum, Archaeological site in Lanciano, Italy
The ancient settlement of Anxanum spreads across multiple excavation areas within modern Lanciano, revealing structures from different historical periods.
Archaeological investigations confirm human presence in Anxanum from the 5th millennium BC, with subsequent development during the Frentani and Roman periods.
The site contains artifacts illustrating daily life patterns, commercial activities, and administrative systems of the Roman municipality through recovered inscriptions and objects.
Visitors can access the archaeological areas through guided tours arranged at the Santo Spirito Civic Archaeological Museum, which displays findings from excavations.
A Roman decurion inscription found at the site provides direct evidence of the municipal organization and local governance system in ancient Anxanum.
