Oderzo, the modern-day Opitergium, is a flourishing commercial center located in the western part of the province. Starting out as a Paleovenetian settlement, Oderzo was declared a Roman municipality in 45 B.C., and the city remains inextricably linked to the ancient past. Archaeological excavations in the historical center continue to uncover relics that reveal the grandeur of the civitas opitergina: the Forum, in the very heart of the city, is paved with blocks of Eugenean trachyte extending for almost one hundred meters in total; the house in Via Mazzini that faces the 'cardo maximus' or main thoroughfare; the Mosaic House, as well as several tracts of paved Roman roads. These days, the most precious finds are conserved in the 'Eno Bellis' Archaeological Museum.
