Archaeological Museum of Teanum Sidicinum

Archaeological Museum of Teanum Sidicinum The Museum exhibits finds from excavations in the ancient centre and in the territory of Teanum Sidicium, inhabited by an Italic population speaking Osco who developed their own original figurative culture since the 6th century BC. The exhibition, organized by contexts of discovery, develops on the two naves of the medieval building the main dynamics of occupation of the territory: the age of the villages (VIII-IV century B.C.: rooms II-IV) and the age of the city (III century B.C. – VII century A.D.: rooms V-VII). The Archaeological Museum is located in the monumental complex known as Loggione e Cavallerizza. The building, a splendid example of late Gothic architecture, is divided into two naves covered by cross vaults supported by ogive arches.
