Recent excavations achieved in the town confirm that the Greek colony named Pixunte and the Roman town of Buxentum are identifiable with the present Policastro. The situation of Policastro, on a height not far from the Bussento river (in the past, it stood much more behind than to-day), coincides with the placement of the Greek colony and of the ancient Roman town.
The excavations widely prove the presence of the Roman town, whose fourm and streets have been located. Situated at the end of a isthmus, Pixunte had a prominent part in trade exchanges towards inner towns and the Ionian sea, through siris.
