villa di Quinto Assio

Colli sul Velino, Italy

The ancient Roman villa of Quintus Axius was a large rural villa rustica in the locality of Grotte di San Nicola, Colli sul Velino (Rieti, Lazio), Italy. It is one of the relatively few known farm-estates of ancient Roman Italy, especially of those that can be assigned to a known senator of the Axia

gens family, friend of Varro and Cicero who wrote about his visit there.
