This season, Perugia University’s excavations at Urvinium Hortense concentrated on four sectors: one on the north side of the temple (Trench Temple-N); one on the artificial plateau leading the area of the baths (Trench 8); two at the baths: one east and one west of the peristyle (Trenches 5 and 6).

The aim was to explore significant new urban portions of the municipium of Urvinium Hortense.

Trench Temple-N: a substantial section of a basalt road was exposed, running parallel to the main road and tangent to the north of the temple’s rear perimeter.
Trench 5: a substantial layer of collapse from the roof of the vestibule leading into the peristyle was uncovered. Its removal exposed a floor surface of terracotta slabs that covered a channel providing water to the nearby frigidarium.
Trench 6: a new room was discovered to the west of the peristyle’s western perimeter, paved in opus _signinum_and with plastered walls.

Part of the floor of the peristyle’s walkway was removed in order to date it and investigate the construction technique. Below the floor there was a water channel built of tile with a covering formed by gravel and lime. The associated inspection well came to light on the south side of the trench.

Trench 8: a layer was uncovered constituted by dumped material containing abundant fragments of coloured wall plaster. This obliterated a rectangular structure with an apse in the rear wall and channel on the façade, probably a nymphaeum facing onto the main road of the municipium.
