Claudia Giontella Archaeological Museum

The archaeological exhibition is divided into two different sections, pre-Roman and Roman, which tell the story of what was to become the centre of Interamna Nahars in the Roman period, the current city of Terni.

The first section, pre-Roman, is of particular importance as it displays a selection of the valuable funerary objects from the three large necropolises currently known, Acciaierie, which was the largest, then followed by San Pietro in Campo and Alterocca, the latter excavated in 2000. The former was mainly used between the 10th and 8th century BC, with objects even from the 4th century, while the other two had items dating from the 7th and 6th centuries BC.

Completing this picture are a series of objects that came to light during excavation work in the Piazza Clai area and in the basements of some of the city’s historic buildings, from the sites of Maratta Bassa and Monte Torre Maggiore.

The Roman section is composed of an interesting series of inscriptions, funerary and memorial stones and marble sarcophagi and statues, which allow us to delve into numerous aspects of what must have been one of the main Umbrian towns in Roman times.
