Summary (English)

  • Along the stretch of road preceding the necropolis of S. Vito, restructuring work on a building beside the road but noticeably lower down, led to the discovery of a stretch of basalt paved road and of twelve funerary structures. These were aligned side by side without space between, apart from that of a single enclosure between the two southernmost buildings in the row. A 1st century A.D. date is proposed on the basis of construction technique, the almost exclusive use of opus reticulatum, the surviving traces of stucco and plaster decoration and the scarce materials found in the fill. Restructuring took place which can be dated probably as far as the 2nd century A.D. The structures were all columbaria, with a prevalence of cremations, although formae were cut into the walls of the ground floor of funerary building VII. All the buildings were preserved on two storeys. Worthy of note: two inscriptions in charcoal present inside one of the structures.
