Summary (English)

  • The 2007 campaign on the Roman building in via Neroniana shed light on the peculiar characteristics of the foundations, built above the imposing dumps of waterproof material, and better defined the plan. The dating of its construction to the beginning of the 1st century A.D. was confirmed by the find of a deposit of amphorae and other pottery that had at first been interpreted as a foundation trench.

    Deep trial trenches were dug which revealed a sporadic occupation of the area dating to the middle-late Bronze Age. In correspondence with a number of residential rooms belonging to the Roman building, traces emerged of a hut, with a brick floored hearth, built on top of robbed out Roman floors. The suggested preliminary date places the hut in the late antique/early medieval period. Two burials found just north of the hut were of the same date. A trench opened in correspondence with the centre of one of the porticoed courtyards in the Roman building revealed the remains of at least one building of full medieval date, an integral part of an organized settlement founded after the area underwent widespread land reclamation.
