unravelau Says: This is of the remaining part of a tiled floor in Minturno. Firstly I thought that the picture offered some insight into the bathing habits of the ancient ones, but then I moved toward thinking that they may have been stomping on grapes. Now I am back to being confused again...
Notice, yes please for the Archeological Minturno
unravelau Says: Well, once you've seen this sign it literally marks the site and directs you to dig into how the ancient romans lived way back. Such a lot of work has gone into this site and it still continues.Next door on the Southern side is the Garigliano River. On the Northern side, but...

NonnaLou Says: We rented a Self Catering Holiday Villa, through the La Rocca Agency / Agenzia Immobiliare La Rocca for the summer of 2005. The villa was set in the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside on the outskirts of Itri. Yet it was just a short drive down to Formia,...
A showstopper in the Ancient Theatre.
unravelau Says: I visited Minturno archeological diggings on a day where they were preparing the stage for a show to be held that night. Fantastic to see the stage hands building, sawing etc, in front of the theatre seats at least 2 thousand years old........I was wishing that I could stay...
No prizes (I'm sorry), for guessing what this is.
unravelau Says: The ancient Romans did some marvelous things, not the least of which is the origins of the flush loo. I don't know whether the water ran continuously washing away the human waste, or if they had a lever to open the flood gates............wouldn't surprise me if it had been...

Sneak peek at the outside world from
unravelau Says: inside the upper levels of the castle at Minturno township. I can remember being astounded at the thickness of the walls of these ancient castles.
unravelau Says: It just looked so inviting, I nearly barged in .........something stopped me............
A cursory glance at Ancient Roman Minturno might
unravelau Says: be sufficient for some visitors, but not me. I have to get right in there as if I were digging up the remains of the bygone past. There is a smallish museum tucked in away behind the huge ancient theatre here and it contained some wonderful information about the thermal...
The Three Bridges over the River Garagliano,
unravelau Says: Minturno. It just looked like one of those shots before, during and after and struck me as quite amusing. What I would have had the authorities do, is beyond me but it's interesting don't you think? Maybe I could get some information regarding the reasons why, for each of...
The Garigliano River, Minturno
unravelau Says: Has seen many significant pieces of history, some of which may be read by tracking through the links below.
Meanwhile, back at the Roman Section
unravelau Says: While the bulk of this area seems to need a good downfall of rain, there were still places of shade from which to take a pic or two of the outside blandness. The Romans were a marvelous and inventive race, I feel.
Now up top and looking out of for yet another view
unravelau Says: Minturno is a very pretty place. Just as well we picked up some food when we found the general store because by the time we were ready to eat, all of the bars had closed for afternoon siesta.
The castle at Minturno............part of the
unravelau Says: Medieval section of the township is just about to the top of the hill (so what's new). They were busy working in the bottom section which wasn't open to tourists the day that I was there............... a different story up the top though.The views from here and any other...
The views from Minturno are spectacular.
unravelau Says: I would take you to both the archeological site and also to the township to get the proper effect of this unique place. I spent one day walking around the diggings and returned to see the township on another day.I really like walking around and imagining what the places...
