    Summary (English)

    • In September and October 2006, on the plateau in the locality of Trinità, geophysical investigations continued the project begun in 2002, contracted out by the Superintendency to the British School at Rome and carried out by the University of Southampton.

      The survey covered a large area of the so-called lower town, situated south of the entertainment district. The results confirmed the terrain’s optimum response to geophysical methods of investigation, which revealed an area of the ancient Teanum Sidicinum occupied by at least four insulae. These were delimited by two roads on a north/south alignment, one with an axis slanting north-east/south-west, the other north-west/south-east, whilst a third road, on an east/west alignment, linked the first two.

      Amongst the numerous structures identified, a domus with atrium, situated in the south-eastern part of the area investigated, was of particular interest. Its fauces, open towards the west, the rooms around the atrium and further traces, perhaps attributable to a peristyle, were visible.
