A little Pompei in the heart of Rimini

Since 7th December 2007, the archaeological site of the Surgeon’s Domus has opened to the public under an enormous crystal glass covering. A littel Pompei in the city centre has come to light after 2000 years.

In 1989, during work on the municipal gardens, a new archaeological site of extraordinary importance was discovered togheter with evidences of the Roman time and of the Middle ages.

The Surgeon’s Domus” was situated in the area close to Ariminum’s city walls, not far from the ancient harbour. It was so called as evidence of the medical profession of the last owner of the house, a doctor of Greek culture.
The domus was destroyed by fire shortly after the mid 3rd century and among the rubble the Domus has revealed structures, mosaics, fittings and furnishings, offering a real picture of Rimini life in the ancient times.

These finds include a remarkable collection of surgical and pharmacological items, the richest in the world coming from the past.
Under an enormous crystal covering the Domus is kept and preserved and people can visit it from December 2007. The archeological visit of the site includes a stop at the archeological section of the nearby City Museum ( Via Tonini 1), where the exhibition of finds give you an idea of the professional and private life of the time.
