The Italic Sanctuary of Pietrabbondante preserves the most important monumental evidence of Samnite religiosity. Its position at a thousand meters above sea level allows you to have a view over a large part of the Sannio and suggests its centrality from an ideological and political point of view. Unlike the other sacred buildings discovered in the area, this was a public cult sanctuary for the whole of Sannio Pentro. In this place rites were celebrated in honor of abstract divinities such as Honos (military honour), Virtus (military and political virtue) and Ops Consiva (state opulence). In its temples the warriors dedicated the weapons they had stolen from the enemy for the glorification of the state. It is possible to admire the spectacular temple B-theater complex, built between the end of the 2nd and the beginning of the 1st century BC, the Roman tabernae , and temple A , erected after the Second Punic War (218-202 BC). Among the buildings discovered in recent years is the domus publica , considered the first archaeologically known example of this type of architecture in Italy . This building had the function of hosting the high priest, the priestly curia and the meddix tuticus (high magistrate) on the occasion of particular festivities.
