Lucus Pisaurensis is a sacred grove or

Imperium Romanum region of the Sabines and Latins
peoples.

Etymology

Pisaurum (latin), pis (pi π, plural) + (aurum, reflecting gold).[1]

Discovery

The eighteenth-century Italian aristocrat or

better source needed] Olivieri said that he found the grove in a field by the Chiostro di Santo Gaetano dei Conti. He called the site Lucus Pisaurensis (Sacred Grove of Pesaro) and gave a brief description of his findings. Olivieri wrote that he planned to publish a future work called De Luco Sacred Veterum Pisaurensium ("The Sacred Grove of Ancient Pisaurensis"), once excavations were completed. This was never published and interest in the lucus disappeared after Oliviera's death.[citation needed
]

Votive stones

Oliveri unearthed in the field fourteen

Pisaurum.[11]

Other finds

He also found a terracotta borderline marker, inscribed " δ Δ δ luci coiirii CI LX ". Luci Coiiri means 'Coerian Grove' and the Roman numerals are thought to reference land measurements.[6]

Olivieri found other artifacts on his estate, all of which are housed in the

Museo Oliveriano, a museum and library in Pesaro founded by him. The library and museum in Pesaro house the collections of Olivieri, Giovanni Battista Passeri, and Giulio Perticari.[12][13]

Among these are bronze and clay coinage, carved sandstone stela from 7th C. B.C. depicting naumachia (mock naval battles) and a bronze Tabula Fabrorum with a relief of the Etruscan goddess Menrva (found at Palazzo Barignani).[14]

21st century

The grove was rediscovered and archaeological interest in the site renewed during excavations in the 21st century.[15][16][17] It has been suggested that the site was a meeting place for different groups of people.[6]
