Crustumerium

Archaeological site

Crustumerium was an ancient town of Latium, on the edge of the Sabine territory, near the headwaters of the Allia, not far from the Tiber. Crustumerium is unique among Latial settlements for its prolific usage of chamber tombs during the 6th-century BCE; whereas other contemporary Latial communities typically contain few examples of such burials, Crustumerium contains tens of chamber tombs.
