Priverno. Archaeological Site 'Ancient Privernum'

The Archaeological site 'Ancient Privernum' is located in the plain of Mezzagosto and corresponds to a part of the ancient roman city of Privernum (today Priverno) in a plan in the Amaseno Valley non far from the coast.

You can admire a stretch of the city walls from the Roman period, three patrician houses of the Republican era, a large spa building and the remains of the Capitolium temple. Some buildings had elegant floors with exquisite Hellenistic mosaics.

During the excavation of the eighteenth century there were found colossal statues of the emperors Tiberius and Claudius and the general Germanicus that are now on display at the Vatican Museum.
