Museo Civico di Marsala
The neatly displayed material principally derives from the personal collection of a Librarian of Marsala (Salvatore Struppa) who also become honorary inspector of antiquities of the region. The ceramics mostly derive from early Lilybaeum (4-2 centuries BC) some architectural pieces and uninscribed cinerary urns. A stretch of 5th century AD road has been excavated and is on display in one room, and an entire room is given over to 8 Latin inscriptions from Lilybaeum
