Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

A low hill on the outskirts of the city, the Hill of Ariminus is a sacred site for the local Umbrian people. Here, a grove dedicated to local deities remains intact, serving as a space for traditional worship and quiet reflection. While Rome’s influence permeates much of Ariminium, this grove is a sanctuary for Umbrian residents who continue their native religious practices, offering a subtle reminder of the city’s pre-Roman heritage.

Lush green hill covered with ancient trees, entwined branches forming a natural canopy, dappled sunlight filtering through leaves onto the forest floor, with stone altars adorned with offerings and vibrant wildflowers blooming at the base.
