    Season

      • A small rural building, with portico, was discovered along the via Campana. Constructed in the first half of the 1st century A.D. it was coarsely built of small tufa blocks, lumps of tile and stones of various sizes. It had an elaborate system for rainwater collection. A funerary inscription was found in a subterranean cistern. This named a certain Maquio Felicissimo, his wife Maquia Crescentina and their daughters Maquia Marcella and Bictoria. The entire architectural complex fell into disuse sometime in the second half of the 2nd century A.D.
      • Excavation of the Republican-Imperial villa continued. Despite the damage caused by the modern farmhouse the entire Tuscan-style _atrium_ was preserved, with rectangular _impluvium_ edged by a moulded cornice faced with mosaic. The area around the _impluvium_ was paved with _opus signinum_ decorated with marble and coloured stone _crustae_. The abandonment of the structures seems to have occurred around the end of the 2nd century A.D., as attested by the discovery of an infant burial covered with tiles. However, occupation, perhaps for cult purposes, resumed between the 8th and 13th century.
