The British School at Rome

The purpose of this survey was to contribute to an understanding of the topography of the site through geophysical survey. Despite problems posed by land use, the survey confirmed that settlement at this site was both small and dispersed, with no urban focus, and that it probably didn’t act as a major centre in this area of the Tiber Valley. Apart from a possible amphitheatre, roadside building and a villa rustica, the main evidence is for funerary monuments.
