The sondages undertaken during the year 2004 in the upper part of the city were followed by another in the palaeochristian basilica. The excavation was located in the area in front of the temple and the north-eastern vault of the basilica, originally excavated by Luigi Ugolini in 1926. The area has suffered heavy disturbance in recent times. The levels excavated by Ugolini revealed several very interesting structures, including traces of the baptistery fountain and a floor with brick tiles. A grave shaped feature was also noted, but its contents were missing.
