Ancient Village or Settlement in Lazio/Roma

The ancient town of Segni is situated on a hilltop in the Lepini Mountains, and overlooks the valley of the Sacco River. Its polygonal 'cyclopean' walls feature a very interesting 'pylon' style entry gate called the Porta Saracena.

The ancient architectural remains at the site date mostly from the Republican period. These include a circuit of fortification walls built using polygonal masonry. The walls incorporated a system of gates, including the Porta Saracena which is covered by a large monolithic architrave. Atop the ancient acropolis of Segni sits the podium of the temple of Juno Moneta, which now supports a Medieval church of Saint Peter (Chiesa di San Pietro - tenth century).

According to ancient Roman sources, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, the seventh king of Rome, established a Roman colony at the town, then known as Signia. Additional colonists were reportedly sent there in 495 BC.

The acropolis has recently been the site of renewed fieldwork undertaken by the British School at Rome.
