Herdonia, Archaeological site in Apulia, Italy.

The excavated remains of Herdonia contain a forum, basilica, amphitheater, and thermal baths with preserved mosaic floors from the Roman period.

After the Battle of Cannae in 216 BC, Hannibal captured the city, later destroying it and moving its population to different locations.

The discovery of numerous tombs and residences beneath the basilica level reveals the earlier presence of Daunian civilization in this location.

The archaeological area near modern Ordona contains multiple excavation layers that demonstrate the settlement patterns from the Iron Age through Classical periods.

A section of the Via Traiana, lined with ancient shops and a Roman market called the macellum, crosses through the archaeological complex.
