Formia. National Archaeological Museum of Formia

The National Archaeological Museum of Formia is located on the ground floor of the eighteenth-century town hall, in a wing known as Stallone Bourbon.

The tour starts from the first century BC and comes to the second century AD, which corresponds to the Julio-Claudian, the period of maximum splendour of Formia.

On display are statues of a wide range of distinguished members of the ‘Formiana’ society plus the imperial family (Gens Julio-Claudian) from the area of ​​the ancient Forum.

Much material has been found in the numerous ancient roman villas of the coast.
