L’Antiquarium houses a selection of materials from some archaeological sites in the Arianese area, a zone of Irpinia located at the crossroads of natural transit routes from the Campanian plain to the Adriatic coast. The exhibition includes a selection of materials found in the prehistoric settlement at La Starza of Ariano Irpino, which, from the 5th millennium BC, with brief interruptions, was inhabited throughout the entire protohistoric period up to the threshold of the Iron Age. One room is dedicated to the Samnite settlement of Casalbore, located along the Pescasseroli-Candela tratturo, where a group of 6th century BC tumulus tombs and a sacred complex at Macchia Porcara centered on an Italic temple datable to the 3rd century BC have been identified. For the Roman and medieval period, the exhibition shows the results of excavations conducted at S. Eleuterio, where a center (vicus) identified as Aequum Tuticum has been found.
