Summary (English)

  • Along the eastern side of the Piazza Anfiteatro (Di Bello property) the modest remains of a Samnite building in tufa blocks came to light facing onto a basalt road (or piazza) visible along the excavation’s western edge. The upper levels contained the remains of a domus with rooms arranged around a garden, a colonnade on two sides (north and south) and a rectangular fish pool. A second basalt road or piazza also belonged to this phase. It was 50 cm higher than the previous one and only the edge of its sidewalk was visible in the section.

    The presence in the area of numerous fragments of marble, decorative slabs and statues together with the presence of burnt lenses and a thick layer of lime in the fish pool, suggests that there was a lime kiln in the vicinity to which the recovered fragments were destined.
