Ciciliano. Archaeological Area of Trebula Suffenas

Trebula Suffenas is an ancient Roman town located at a road crossroads at the foot of the current village of Ciciliano. The Roman city was among the most important and was placed at the passage of the routes that came from Abruzzo and which brought meat and wool to Rome.

The city was narrated by the poet Martial and at the time of its maximum splendor it was equipped with a forum and thermal baths. Many objects of daily life and important tombs have been found, such as that of Agrippa, son-in-law of Augustus.

A splendid black and white mosaic floor can be seen originally placed in the baths and which is being restored to be located in the Ciciliano civic museum.
