Thanks to its favourable geographical position in the centre of Italy, Terni has always been an important centre and crossroads between the Tyrrhenian and the Adriatic regions, both in pre-Roman times and today. Archaeological research, mainly carried out at the end of the 19^th and beginning of the 20^th c., has revealed a rich and complex reality. However, the lack of a systematic edition of the contexts limited the creation of a comprehensive analysis of the material culture and historical phenomena.
Now, thanks to the Interamna Nahars Project, coordinated by the Chair of Pre-Roman Italy of the Department of Classical Studies of the Sapienza University of Rome, in collaboration with the Soprintendenza Archeologia Belle Arti e Paesaggio dell'Umbria and the Direzione Regionale Musei Umbria, and financed also by the CARIT Foundation, a new season of systematic research is shedding new light on the dynamics of pre-Roman Terni and generating new research questions.
