Modern Description: Sante Croce is a site that sits on a low hill overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea on the ‘Golfo di Sapri’. The site was first signalled when construction work near the remains of Roman villa bought to light un tratto di muro in grossi blocchi calcarei with associated ceramics of the 4th century BC. Sante Croce is only intervisible with one other site – Policastro Bussentino, itself most probably not of Lucanian origin and therefore of dubious value in using intervisibility in ascertaining Lucanian settlement patterns.
