Peltuinum, Ancient Roman archaeological site in Prata d'Ansidonia, Italy
The archaeological remains of Peltuinum extend across 26 hectares on a plateau, featuring preserved walls, a double-arched gate, and multiple excavated structures.
Established in the first century BCE, Peltuinum developed into a major Roman settlement along the Via Claudia Nova until an earthquake caused its decline in the fifth century.
The discovered temple complex includes a Corinthian design with three entrance columns, a central cella, and evidence suggesting dedication to the god Apollo.
The site provides access to ancient Roman architectural elements, with nearby museums displaying artifacts and informational panels explaining the settlement's layout.
The settlement functioned as a control point for livestock migration between central Italy and Puglia, with customs officers collecting tariffs from shepherds.
