Corfinium, Archaeological site in Corfinio, Italy

The remains of Corfinium extend along the Claudia Valeria road in the Abruzzo region, at the intersection with Via Claudia Nova established by Emperor Claudius.

In 90 BC, Corfinium became the capital of an Italian federation opposing Rome, with the rebels renaming it Italia and assembling an army of 100,000 men.

The archaeological excavations near Piano San Giacomo revealed a Roman villa containing detailed mosaics from the first century AD and thermal baths from the imperial period.

The antiquarium of S. Alessandro houses artifacts discovered at the site, including inscriptions, architectural elements, and everyday objects from the Roman era.

The city maintained two aqueducts during the Roman Empire, with remnants still visible near the Church of the Madonna of Grace.
