Marruvium

The ancient ruins of Marruvium spread across 40 hectares, featuring remnants of an amphitheater, temples, and sophisticated residential districts with noble houses.

The settlement transformed into a municipium between the end of the Social War and 49 BC, as evidenced by inscriptions referencing local magistracies.

The site contains a grand temple known as the Capitolium, constructed with tetrastyle architecture and decorated with detailed inscriptions from the mid-1st century BC.

Archaeological excavations reveal the city lies 2.5 meters below the current ground level, requiring careful exploration to uncover its urban development phases.

The urban layout includes a network of rectangular blocks enclosed by streets paved with calcareous slabs, mirroring the design of Alba Fucens.
