Ocriculum is an archaeological area covering about 36 hectares. Excavations of the Roman site beginning in 1775 led to the discovery of the baths, a theatre, a basilica, and other buildings.
The massive bath complex included a large octagonal room where a spectacular mosaic pavement was found, now preserved in the Vatican Museums in the Sala della Rotonda of the Museo Pio-Clementino. Other important finds from the site include the head of Zeus of Otricoli and the head of Claudius, also displayed in the same gallery.
