The Antiquarium consists of an area of archaeological excavations, carried out between 1980 and 1986 in the area behind the Roman Theatre, and an exhibition space set up near the tower of the medieval walls. A domus dating back to the first century A.D. was reused, from about the middle of the second century until the sixth century, for funerary purposes of pagan rite. Of note is the presence of an enclosure, which in a first phase delimited the burial area: the balustrade is made of limestone slabs and the foundations of a funerary monument located near the front, in a prominent position towards the ancient road that is traced by the current Via Donota. Later the interior and surrounding space was systematically used for the insertion of pit, box and amphora tombs (initially reserved mainly for children). Elements have also been found, such as a sort of stone seat, probably linked to the ritual of the epulum, a banquet consumed at the tomb in honor of the deceased. A small room is dedicated to the materials found during the excavation of the domus and burial ground, as well as the dwelling identified in the nearby Piazza Barbacan, near the arch of Richard, dating back to about the middle of the first century AD.
