Atina. Archaeological Museum

The Archaeological Museum of Atina is divided into five rooms with finds from the Comino Valley from prehistory to the numerous Samnites and Roman remains.

It is worthwhile mentioning the grave goods found in Ominimorti Necropolis - found in the town of San Biagio Saracinisco after the bombing of World War II - which had a complete tomb from the V century BC. The tomb belong to the ancient people of Samnites who lived in this area before the conquiist of Rome.

A series of models reconstruct the Roman ‘castra’ dating back to the first wars fought with the Sunni in Val di Comino with reconstructed catapults and various weapons.

One room houses a rich collection of amphorae, jewelry and clay pottery testifying commercial exchanges with the Etruscans.
