Maometto, Ancient Roman relief site in Borgone Susa, Italy.
The archaeological site features an 80 x 65 cm temple-shaped relief carved into a massive fallen boulder, displaying a male figure with a tunic and draped cloak.
Dating back to the 2nd-3rd century CE, the relief contains Latin inscriptions suggesting a votive offering to deities like Vertumnus or Silvanus, gods associated with agriculture.
The name Maometto derives from local Valle di Susa folklore, which connects ancient artifacts to Saracen traditions, reflecting regional cultural heritage.
The site sits within an acacia grove between Borgone and San Didero, with visible rock carvings and structural remains that visitors can examine up close.
A 3,500-year-old skeleton burial discovered atop the boulder indicates the location served ritual purposes long before the Roman period.
