A seaside town overlooking the Conero Riviera, Numana in ancient times was populated by the Picentes. Testimonies of this ancient community are preserved in the “Antiquarium”, the local archeological museum. 

Within the “Antiquarium” you can retrace the history of Picenum. The tomb of the Queen and the riches she was buried with have recently been brought to light, including the chariot and calash used in her funeral. 

Numana is the only archeological site in the Marche Region where you can visit a Picenum necropolis. Each year the city dedicates an entire exhibition to its Picenum origin.
