Ocriticum was an Italic and Roman town, the ruins of which are located in the comune of Cansano, in the province of L'Aquila in the Abruzzo region of Italy. [1][2]

There are the remains of two Italic/Roman temples of Jupiter and Hercules, and a sacellum of Ceres and Venus, as well as remains of the ancient settlement.[3]

The mansio Jovis Larene is also nearby, an important inn stop marked on the Tabula Peutingeriana.
