ROMAN WALLS

Of the ancient Roman Auximum all that remains are the walls and fountain of Via Fonte Magna, Porta Musone, the finds of the Archaeological Museum and the Lapidarium. Last but not least, the acephalous statues remain, which the people of Osimo call the Headless Statues. It is said that the missing heads were plundered by the Milanese leader Giangiacomo Trivulzio following a battle in 1487. Other scholars have deduced that the heads were either never sculpted, or that they fell due to war.
