Formia — Villa di Cicerone & Porto

Cicero owned a villa near ancient Formiae, and tradition holds it was in this area that he was captured and killed on Mark Antony's orders during the political violence of 43 BC. Scattered Roman-era remains along the coast sit within easy reach of Formia's modern seafront and ferry harbour.
