Amphitheater
Archaeological investigations have brought to light a good part of the amphitheater of Trebula Mutuesca. The building has an elliptical form (94 x 66 m), and was constructed in part in opus mixtum and in part built into the rocky bank. The arena was given a subterranean gallery for the use of the lifting machines which were employed during the spectacles. The cavea rests on vaulted areas, probably connected to the gaming activities of the amphitheater. In the area of the same structure there was also a complex system for the collection and distribution of water, with wells, cunicoli, and drainage pipes. Remains of inscriptions attest to renovations in the Trajanic period.
Area of the so-called Temple
Research started at the end of the 1950s close to the amphitheater, in the area of the so-called temple, is once again being undertaken with the support of volunteers. To date, structures belonging to a porticoed public building in use between the mid- to late-Republican era and the third century AD have been discovered.
Catacombs
In 1999 excavations were carried out by the Pontificia Commissione di Archeologia Sacra in the catacombs of S. Vittoria, below the church of the same name, in order to make visits of the monument more safe and to expand the visitable area. At this time lamps of the type Bailey U-"Catacomb Lamps" datable between the fourth and fifth centuries AD were recovered. -

_Anfiteatro_
Le indagini archeologiche hanno consentito di rimettere in luce buona parte dell'anfiteatro di Trebula Mutuesca. L'edificio di forma ellittica (94x66 m.) è costruito in parte in opera mista e in parte addossato al banco roccioso. L'arena è dotata di una galleria sotterranea funzionale alla fuoriuscita delle macchine elevatrici, impiegate durante gli spettacoli. La cavea poggia su ambienti voltati, verosimilmente connessi alle attività ludiche dell'anfiteatro. Nell'ambito della stessa struttura e' stato inoltre individuato un complesso sistema di adduzione e di deflusso delle acque, articolato in pozzi, cunicoli e condotto fognario. Resti di iscrizioni attestano interventi in epoca traianea.
_Area del cosiddetto Tempio_
In prossimità dell'anfiteatro, nell'area del cosiddetto tempio, si stanno portando avanti, con il supporto di archeologi volontari, ricerche avviate alla fine degli anni Cinquanta del secolo scorso. Sono state rinvenute strutture pertinenti ad un edificio pubblico porticato frequentato tra l'età medio-tardo repubblicana ed il III secolo d.C.
_Catacomba_
Nel 1999 interventi di scavo sono stati effettuati dalla Pontificia Commissione di Archeologia Sacra nella catacomba di S. Vittoria, al di sotto della chiesa omonima, al fine di rendere più sicura la frequentazione del monumento e di incrementare l'area visitabile. Nell'occasione sono state recuperate lucerne del tipo Bailey U-"Catacomb Lamps" attestate tra il IV e V secolo d.C. - Director
