Aveia, Archaeological site of ancient Vestini settlement in Fossa, Italy.
The excavation site contains structural remains of buildings and artifacts from an ancient Roman settlement located 10 kilometers southeast of L'Aquila.
Established as a bishopric in 450 AD, the settlement was later abandoned during the Lombard invasions that occurred around 500 AD.
The church of Santa Maria ad Cryptas houses a collection of paintings from the 12th to 15th centuries that document regional artistic development.
The archaeological site lies at coordinates 42.3°N and 13.489722°E, accessible through the Via Claudia Nova near the present-day village of Fossa.
A third-century inscription discovered in 1902 reveals the presence of a stationarius, indicating organized efforts to control local criminal activities.
