To the south-west of the terracing wall delimiting the southern end of the forum, the excavations revealed a pit probably relating to a cult area, containing miniature vases of plain ware pottery. In addition, the pit contained numerous shells, perhaps evidence of communal ritual meals eaten during particular rituals. A large extension of the excavation area to the north provided the data for the completion of the portico’s plan, a structure partially excavated during the previous two campaigns. The rectangular structure was on the same alignment as the great terrace wall at the southern end of the forum. Its opus caementicium foundation incorporated earlier structures and levels of collapse of squared tufa blocks. Many fragments of architectural decorations in yellow tufa, probably from the earliest forum portico, were visible in the structure’s mortar. Rectangular blocks of yellow tufa rested on the foundation level. These constituted the bases of stuccoed brick-built Doric columns. The portico saw a phase in which the colonnade was formed by tufa columns, attested by several impressions of tufa bases identified on the south-eastern side of the structure. In the late antique period, the entire building was dismantled and razed, and the floor levels almost completely removed.
