Initially, this season concentrated on three previously excavated sectors: the area of the scaena (Trench 23), the postscaenium (Trench 19, Trench 19 Sondage 1, Trench 19 Sondage 2, Trench 27) and the space on the western side of the theatre (Trench 24-26 and 28).
In the first sector, Trench 23 was extended with the aim of further defining the plan of the scaena in particular the part relating to the frons scaenae. Digging started in the south-eastern corner of the scene, and then it was decided to extend this trench as far as the one opened during the first campaign, on the same axis as the building (Trench 1).

This excavation confirmed the results from the first campaign regarding the frons scaenae, the valva hospitalia and part of the hyposcaenium. It was also seen that the spaces to the sides of the scenae were arranged like parascaenia or basilica.

Excavations continued and were extended in the area of the postscaenium. As regards the structure itself, it was seen that the rear façade of the theatre was longer than the width of the building itself. The continuation of this wall was documented in the new trench Corte 27, and was seen to delimit a large open space behind the theatre and the possible continuation of the structures forming the entrance to the zone behind the theatre complex to the west. The excavation also partially exposed the interior of the western basilica.

The north zone, inside the first of the rectangular halls next to the theatre (Trench 19 Sondaggio 1), was completely occupied by a limekiln. A dump comprising mainly pottery fragments was uncovered to the south of this hall. This must have been part of an actual dump, as during the construction process of the theatre the hall was used for this function. Later, floors were laid that covered this dump.

To the west of the theatre investigations continued into the layout of this sector, which functioned as the theatre’s “vestibule”. Four trenches were dug (24-26 and 28) that revealed the area to be one of the spaces with pavilions present in the villa, similar to other peripheral areas in the complex. In this case, the space was defined by a series of interconnecting pavilions forming a transit area in which architecture was combined with vegetation, water, and probably sculpture, a combination seen throughout the villa.
