The first temple located in Monteleone Sabino dates back to at least the 3rd century

The first temple located in Monteleone Sabino dates back to at least the 3rd century; it was rebuilt in Romanesque style in the 11th century, recovering part of the structures and much of the material from the pre-existing building.[1][2] Before the construction of the primitive chapel, built to house the remains of Saint Victoria, it seems that no place of Christian worship existed on the site. The site is archaeologically important due to the presence in the space around the church of remains from the Roman era: buildings, architectural details and tombs. The oldest part, adjacent to the catacombs, which preserves tombs from the imperial age of the Decian period. A short distance away are the ruins of a Roman villa, with a cistern connected to underground springs. For a long time there was the habit of the faithful to drink this water, because it was close to the tomb of Saint Victoria. Starting from 593 Pope Gregory I reunited various dioceses in the Trebula Mutuesca area. In 817 Pope Stephen IV re-entrusted the sanctuary to the Benedictine monks, which by now must have reached considerable dimensions, with three internal naves and a bell tower... follows "https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santuario_di_Santa_Vittoria#Storia" The powerful Orsini family had important restoration and conservation works carried out in the 15th century. In 1574, following the Council of Trent, Bishop Pietro Camaiani assigned an income to the church, so that it was kept in good condition.[4] The building was restored starting in 2018, to repair the damage caused by the earthquake that hit the area in 2016 and to counteract the slow collapse of the embankment on which the structure is located. The interventions concerned the internal roofing, protection against water infiltration and deformations of the bell tower.[1]

The Sabine city of Trebula Mutuesca, (or Trebula Mutusca) mentioned by Publius Virgilio Marone in the Aeneid, was located in Lazio, in the province of Rieti, in the territory of the current town of Monteleone Sabino, at 496 meters above sea level , on the southern slopes of the Sabine mountains, about 60 km from Rome. Pliny the Elder mentions two Trebulan peoples: Trebulani qui cognominantur Mutuscaei, et qui Suffenates. The ancient site is located in Monteleone Sabino, a village about 3 km to the right of the Via Salaria, between Osteria Nuova and Poggio San Lorenzo. Here notable ruins of the ancient Roman center emerge, including those of a theatre, baths or spas and parts of the ancient flooring. Several inscriptions have been found, some of which bear the name of its people, Plebs Trebulana, Trebulani Mutuscani and Trebulani Mut., which removes any doubt about the attribution of the site.... continue on the site "https://www. romanoImpero.com/2020/04/trebula-mutuesca-monteleone-lazio.html"
