 The test, run by the Archaeological Superintendence of Chieti, dated the relics to between the Republican and the first imperial age of the Roman Empire.Renowned Italian archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli discovered old burial tombs and fragments of bucchero vases around the Church of San Lorenzo.The discovery by Antonio De Nino in contrada Vicenna of shrouds and an elaborate system of tunnels with evident traces of a mosaic floor near the ancient cemetery is enough evidence to testify that there was an ancient town located at Acciano (for lack of funds now, these excavations have been covered by soil until they can be best appreciated).
