The Museo della città e del territorio di Sepino occupies 18th-century farmhouses built over the ruins of the Roman theatre of Saepinum, at Altilia.

The museum occupies 18th-century farmhouses built over the ruins of the Roman theatre of Saepinum. Its four rooms trace the territory from prehistory, with finds from the Tammaro valley including Cercemaggiore and Santa Croce del Sannio, through the 4th–1st century BC settlement, to the imperial age when Livy called Saepinum fortissima atque potentissima. Since December 2014 it has been managed by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage through the Molise museum pole, which became the Regional Museums Directorate in December 2019.

Its four rooms are arranged by theme and period: prehistoric finds from the Tammaro valley, objects from the settlement of the 4th–1st centuries BC, the imperial age when Livy calls Saepinum "fortissima atque potentissima", and pottery also from Roman Africa.
The small venue is easily accessible on foot and offers informative labels with the exhibits. You should plan time for calm viewing of the collection, since the displays cover specific details rather than large quantities of material.
The museum preserves objects including tools, pottery, and personal items that come directly from excavations at this site. These finds tell stories about how ordinary people carried out their daily lives across different time periods.
