Archaeological Museum of Teanum Sidicinum

museo accessibile alle persone con difficoltà motoria nella città di teano

The archaeological museum offers a fantastic tour completely accessible to wheelchair users as it has no architectural barriers and the tourist will be able to fully enjoy the view of the wonderful finds.

The main nuclei are the votive objects deposited in the sanctuaries, in particular the sacred area in the locality of Loreto, dating back to before the foundation of the town, on a rocky spur incorporated into the urban area, and the village sanctuary in the locality of Fondo Ruozzo, frequented from the Archaic period to the Hannibalic wars and again in the Sillan period, which has yielded statuettes, pottery, miniature ceramics, and votive offerings depicting animals and products of the earth. The density and wealth of the population of Sidica is also testified by the grave goods from both the village and town necropolises (Torricelle, Campofaio, Gradavola, Carrano, Orto Ceraso), with material ranging from the end of the 6th century B.C. to the height of the Roman imperial age. The Museum also hosts a section dedicated to urban excavations, among which the most important intervention is the recovery of the Roman theatre, located in a central area of the city, which almost entirely preserves the cavea and the stage building with its sumptuous architectural and sculptural decoration, pertaining to an extension of the Severan age. Also of particular interest is the mosaic depicting the Epiphany, which is the oldest attestation of this theme in Italy on mosaic.
