The civic museum of Ciciliano collects many of the finds that were found in the ancient Roman settlement of Trebula Suffenas.
Among these, the large 45 m2 mosaic with black and white tiles found in the city that represents Helle and Frisso is being restored, the two brothers were fleeing from their stepmother. His sister Helle fell into the sea (from which the name Hellespont derives from the current Strait of the Dardanelles which separates Greece from Turkey, and therefore Europe from Asia).
Other mosaics of the city of Trebula Suffenas were moved to enrich Villa d'Este in Tivoli.
The museum is dedicated to the American archaeologist Lily Ross Taylor, born in Alabama but a scholar of late Roman Republican history.
