ROMAN SECTION
In Roman times, the south-western shore of Lake Garda boasted several settlements in the form of small villages and villas; in Manerba two separate villas have been identified and, on the path that leads to the Rocca, a necropolis and traces of a rural settlement. The top of the Rocca is also assumed to be the site of a place of worship dedicated to Minerva. The museum contains various items brought to light during excavation of the various sites. These finds offer the starting point for exploring some typical aspects of the time.
