Abella, Archaeological site in Avella, Italy
The archaeological area of Abella contains extensive Roman structures, including an amphitheater constructed with tuff stone and featuring preserved vomitoria sections.
The ancient city of Abella emerged as a significant center during the Samnite period, later becoming a Roman colony following the Social War in 87 BC.
The Cippus Abellanus inscription, written in the Oscan language, documents a land agreement between the cities of Abella and Nola regarding a temple of Hercules.
The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours, with guided tours available through the amphitheater and ancient walls located on elevated ground overlooking the plain.
Archaeological excavations have revealed numerous tombs containing artifacts that demonstrate trade connections through imported vessels and local ceramic productions.
