Summary (English)
In 2006 the main objective was to conclude the excavations at the byzantine basilica and provide new data to complement Ugolini. The excavation was concentrated in the overburden accumulated since the time of Ugolini and the opening of bunkers. The excavation provided interesting data relating to the overall plan of the monument, indicating that the basilica was divided in three naves. The existence of the transept was also confirmed along with the discovery of three new entrances. The excavation brought to light a number of architectural fragments from the Roman period which provide useful information concerning the original structure of the monument. A number of tombs similar to those discovered in the previous excavations were also recorded.
