"Aeclanum
In Passo of Mirabella, the Town of Mirabella Eclano (AV), you can visit the ruins of the ancient city of Aeclanum, one of the main centers of the Sunni tribes of Irpinia. The Italian archaeologist
Sgobba came to, in the 30, four Oschi epigraphic monuments: one bore the name of Mamers (Oscan name of the god Mars), represented another altar tuff dedicated to the goddess Mephitis (now the National Museum of Naples), part of a sacred place situated outside the city walls on the Via Appia, indicating a third unidentified construction ordered by magus Falco and the cult of the relevant quarter god Faunus.

Aeclanum - Road Roman and homes.
The Appian Way and the eastern necropolis. The city of
Aeclanum in Roman times, was in the form of a corymb and extension of 18 hectares, was defended by a wall 1820 meters long. and built in opus reticulatum, prism compact travertine and sandstone.
The walls rose more than 10 meters. and were interrupted by at least three ports on the sides bounded by square towers (turres), more than 5 meters. each side, and every 20 meters. were smaller towers (hemiturres), 2.5 mt. each side, that did not exceed in height, as the largest, the curtain wall (thus called "moiré turres aequae Qum", or "towers as high as the wall"). The thickness of the fortifications is included, at various points, between 2.12 to 2.40 meters.
Through the door came in Aeclanum West Via Appia, from Benevento, and came out through the eastern door. At the time of the Civil War (89 BC), Aeclanum was protected only by a ring of wood, then set on fire by Sulla when, realizing that waiting for help from Eclanesi Lucanians accastare around the walls of ordered bundles of sticks, burned after he spent the time allowed by the dictator to surrender. Aeclanum it was plundered and occupied

Later, at the time of Emperor Hadrian (in about 120 AD), assumed the status of colony under the name "Aelia Augusta Aeclanum.
Aeclanum - The Spa.
Other roads, as well as the Appia, interested Aeclanum and its territory: the way Aeclanum - aequum Tuticum that connected it to Puglia, the way Herculia crossing the eastern part of the court and the Via Aurelia Eclanesi Aeclanensis proceeded in that direction of Ordona.Al Roman period, most of imperial date the construction and renovation of public works such as the Baths, the Macellum, the Gymnasium, the Forum, the Amphitheatre, the Theatre and the "pecuarium forum (market cattle pasture).

The Spa is the monument I find most of the excavations: the construction technique is opus mixtum and are commonly found environments tepidarium of the steam bath and frigidarium.
Aeclanum - Pompeian Domus type.
