Forum Novum

Forum Novum is an archaeological site in Torri in Sabina containing ruins of temples, public buildings, and homes from the Roman period. The remains reveal the layout and structure of a typical Roman settlement with its distinct functional areas.

The settlement began as a marketplace during the Roman Republic and later became a municipality in the early Roman Empire period. This transformation is recorded in ancient texts and shows how the community expanded over time.

The site displays remains of temples and market areas that reflect how Romans lived and gathered daily. These structures show how people came together to trade and conduct their community affairs.

Visitors can explore the site using established walkways that connect different sections of the ruins. Plan enough time and wear comfortable shoes to walk the paths easily without difficulty.

Geophysical surveys revealed the settlement had scattered residential buildings connected to small shops rather than dense clusters. This loose arrangement differs from the more compact layouts found in other Roman communities.
