Nuceria, Archaeological site in Nocera Superiore, Italy
The excavated ruins of Nuceria include a remarkable theater from the 2nd century BCE and remains of an amphitheater from the 1st century BCE.
In 315 BCE, during the Second Samnite War, Nuceria formed an alliance with Rome but later shifted support to the Samnites, leading to significant military consequences.
The city developed its own monetary system and created the Nucerian alphabet, which combined elements from Greek alphabets and Etruscan language structures.
The archaeological area contains multiple excavation sections spread across different locations within modern Nocera Superiore, requiring systematic exploration to understand the complete layout.
Nuceria served as the capital of a confederation that included Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabiae, and Sorrento, controlling trade routes between Naples and Salerno gulfs.
