Segni. Nymphaeum

The nymphaeum of Segni is a monumental fountain that dates from the 2nd to the 1st century BC and was designed by architect Quintus Mutius as evidenced by a plaque on the back wall.

The fountain is located in a small space created under a large arch and with an open side.

In the niches of the fountain there are decorations with shells and blue Egyptian beads that design fantastic marine architectures.

It is one of the greatest examples of the arrival of Hellenistic art in Rome. For visits, please contact the Archaeological Museum of Segni.
