Aequum Tuticum was a settlement of ancient Rome located in southern Italy, in the historic region of Daunia, corresponding to the present-day area of Sant’Eleuterio in Ariano Irpino (AV), Campania. This important road junction was situated at the intersection of several Roman roads, including the Via Traiana, and served as a postal station (mansio) for travelers’ rest and horse exchange.
The settlement hosted public buildings and structures typical of Roman towns, such as baths and a basilica. Archaeological remains, including mosaic floors and ceramic fragments, attest to its strategic role and the prosperity it achieved during the imperial period. Today, the area is the subject of studies and excavations aimed at preserving its historical legacy.
ATS conducted extensive magnetometric surveys over an area of approximately 10 hectares. The geophysical investigations have highlighted the topography of the ancient settlement.
