In piazza N. Amore exploration continued of the temple and related portico which were part of the sanctuary of the Olympic-type games.

In the southern part of the excavation a road came to light, laid in the 3rd century B.C. and continuing in use until the Augustan period. To the north it followed the line of the back wall of the portico and to the south the line of a structure of stone blocks datable to the beginning of the 3rd century B.C. The road was made up of levels of beaten earth and yellow tufa, between which a limestone paving could be distinguished, datable to the mid 2nd century B.C. In the Augustan period a garden was built over the road.

The road was built as part of an urban layout centred on the construction of the colonnaded portico at the beginning of the 2nd century B.C. Excavation of the latter and of the adjacent spaces provided data regarding the building phases of the structure. In fact, on the interior the walls presented a succession of visible facings dating from the 2nd century B.C. to the end of the 1st or beginning of the 2nd century A.D. However, on the exterior the entire wall construction was built up against the earth in opus caementicium in the Flavian-Trajanic phase and in opus incertum in the Augustan phase. To the north and south of the portico’s back wall the continuation of the 5th-4th century B.C. architectural complex emerged where a large rectangular hall came to light.

Lastly, the intervention in the temple area aimed to define the construction phases through the excavation of a number of trial trenches. The dismantling of the cement platea around the podium revealed a black and white mosaic below it, dating to the beginning of the 1st century A.D. In the ambulatory surrounding the podium cleaning continued of the floor which had emerged below the 3rd century A.D. mosaic, of which the mortar make up was preserved. On the basis of the materials found in the stratigraphic sequence the construction of the make up was dated to the mid 2nd century A.D.
