Trebula Mutuesca was an ancient city of Sabina which later became Roman not far from the center of Monteleone Sabino.
It was cited by Pliny as one of the two Roman cities with the name Trebula and Virgil describes it as surrounded by large olive groves, like the Sabina still today.
Today there are traces of a theater, a temple, the baths and pavements.
Its name is perhaps from ‘trabes’, "house", and in the fourth century BC.
A sanctuary was dedicated here to the goddess Feronia around which an urban centre formed.
The temple excavations have brought to light the entrance porch, the outer walls with six columns in travertine and a brick roof. The flooring was in 'opus signinum'.
For the Romanesque church of Santa Vittoria many stone materials were reused from the temple with inscriptions that reveal the history.
