Summary (English)

  • During 2014, the restoration of the walls in both sectors of the hemicycle was completed and visitor trails in the archaeological area created. Further restoration work was undertaken on the Torre della Moletta and the internal stratigraphy excavated down to the foundation levels.

    The excavations exposed a number of floor surfaces, generically datable to between the 14th and 20th centuries, and channels relating to the passage of the nearby “acqua Mariana” (an irrigation ditch). The foundation level covered a layer containing silt and architectural fragments from the nearby Ach of Titus. In the east hemicycle, sondages in the fornicis I, VI, X-XIII identified several late antique occupation phase in rooms of the circus. The archaeological investigations continue in the central part of the hemicycle, the area of the Arch of Titus.
