Roman temple found in city of playwright Plautus

The Tripartite temple, with connected early medieval structures, recently emerged in Sarsina (Forlì-Cesena) in excellent condition.

It will be presented at the European Heritage Days scheduled for September 23 and 24, he said.

“It is an important contribution to our understanding of the past and may have significant implications for historical and archaeological research, which we are boosting with extraordinary results throughout Italy,” said Sangiuliano, calling the find an “archaeological treasure”.

Titus Maccius Plautus (c. 254 - 184 BC) was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period.

His comedies are the earliest Latin literary works to have survived in their entirety.
