Season

    • In 2018, research resumed in Località Rovere at San Bartolomeo al Mare, where in 1977 the remains of a large Roman complex were found and tentatively identified as the _mansio_ associated in the sources with the name of Lucus Bormani. At the time, the plans of three structures, denominated A-C were identified: Building A is constituted by at least six rooms preceded by a long porticoed corridor that faced onto a large piazzale, on the south-western side of which is a stepped rectangular structure, abutting the hill slope (Building C). North of building A there are the remains of two perpendicular walls of uncertain function (Building B) and a well with circular plan. The excavations undertaken by Genova University in 2018-2019 made it possible to integrate the data from the previous investigations relating to the areas in front of buildings A and B, where the remains of several rooms probably dating to the first half of the 1st century A.D. were identified. Sometime later, around 70 A.D., there was a new reorganisation of the area with the creation of a system of stone structures along the sides of a _via_ _glareata_. Following a brief abandonment phase, characterised by collapses and rubble accumulations, around the end of the 2nd century A.D, a series of interventions took place in the area that would then be occupied by the piazzale of Building A.
