Municipium Claudium Aguntum
Since 1991, the Department of Archaeology’s work at the Municipium Claudium Aguntum has positioned itself as a bridge between Classical (Roman) Archaeology and Provincial Roman Archaeology. Geographically—and in terms of its material culture—Aguntum occupies an intermediary position between Italy and the north-western provinces. The research program focuses on archaeological fieldwork and material culture studies, while the human legacy is examined using scientific and cultural-anthropological methods.
