Betriacum, Archaeological site in Calvatone, Italy.
The Roman settlement of Betriacum stands on the right bank of the Oglio River, featuring remains of ancient structures and fortification systems from imperial times.
In 69 AD, Betriacum witnessed two major battles during the Year of the Four Emperors, resulting in the deaths of Emperor Otho and Emperor Vitellius.
The excavations at Betriacum have yielded numerous artifacts, including pottery and coins, which are now displayed at the Museo Platina in Piadena.
Archaeological research at the site continues under the supervision of the University of Milan, with excavation activities conducted between spring and autumn months.
The location served as a strategic river crossing point for Roman military operations, connecting major routes between northern Italy and the expanding empire.
