Carettoni Museum

The Archaeological Museum of Cassino was built in the area inside the Roman city and is of considerable archaeological interest due to the presence of the remains of large wall structures, which are still visible today.

The first room contains material from prehistoric and protohistoric times, as well as Roman finds from the Campo di Porro necropolis, and the statue of the hero, also from the Roman period.

The second room is dedicated to Roman architectural, sculptural and ceramic materials from the archaeological area of Cassino, plus finds from the necropolis of Casinum and the necropolis of Aquinum.

The third room contains architectural, sculptural, epigraphic and ceramic materials from the theatre and archaeological area of Cassino, as well as from nearby localities.  Of particular note is a small sculpture in grey marble of a prancing horse, signed by a Greek artist and belonging to the frons scenae of the theatre, and a statue of an athlete.

In the garden in front of the entrance to the museum, there is a lapidarium containing inscriptions and architectural fragments that came to light during the construction of the museum.

The Lapidarium consists of two rooms displaying stone materials, many of which contain epigraphic texts. These are mostly dedicatory inscriptions mentioning names and surnames of renowned families during the Roman Republic and Empire.
