Summary (English)

  • Work continued between 10th April and 31st May 2006 on the excavation and restoration of the site at Pietravairano. A large sector of the cavea was brought to light, partly cut into the limestone bedrock and completed with a staircase built in °opus caementicium, leading up to the level of a small orchestra.

    The clearing of the terrain in the areas to the east and north of the temple terracing revealed numerous fragments of palmetted cyma and drips in the form of lion heads, coherent with a roofing system datable to the second half of the 2nd century B.C.

    Another trench was dug to investigate the relationship between the cavea and the theatre’s western analemma wall. Lastly, surface survey and mapping continued across the entire area.
