Summary (English)

  • In the necropolis south-east of the ancient city were discovered pit tombs orientalized with rich furnishings, and aristocratic tumuli.

    A large public building of the 2nd century BC was discovered in the urban area near the walls, as well as an exceptional series of epigraphical documents, among them two honorary bases from the Severan age.

    The excavations in progress are allowing an improved understanding of the Lavinium of imperial age. The urban area, following upon the reduction of the site begun starting from the second half of the 3rd century BC, was affected by new and important building interventions under the Flavians. Between 313 and 324 Constantine and Licinius restored the baths. The end of the city came in the 5th century and is perhaps attributable to an earthquake.
