Castrum Novum
Ancient Roman town
About
Castrum Novum (new fort) was an ancient Roman town now located in the municipality of Santa Marinella, to the north of Cape Linaro, ca. 60 km north-west of Rome Italy. It is located near Mount Guardiole, 1.5 km from the coast, where an Etruscan settlement was found.
Its location was known since the 16th century and confirmed by the excavations carried out between the late-18th and the 19th century. Since 2010, archaeological investigation was resumed by the Gruppo Archeologico del Territorio Cerite (GATC) which shed new light on the topography and the history of the site.
