Summary (English)
Excavations inside the Porticus (room D), on the southern side of the forum and east of Temple C, uncovered the temple’s foundation off-set which developed in a very uneven way, sloping from south to north and in some places was insubstantial. The foundation was covered by a layer of construction waste, rich in grey limestone chips deriving from the working of cubilia and mostly concentrated along the temple wall (as also seen in Trench 5 in room A). This level was cut by the foundation for the back wall of the porticus which abutted the eastern wall of the temple. In room A excavation continued with the removal of 2nd century A.D. occupation layers and the documentation of a floor, probably of Flavian date, built over dumps of rubble and plaster collapse seemingly datable to the Claudian-Neronian period.
Lastly, on the basis of the stratigraphic sequence identified in 2007 in the forum piazza and relating to the earliest phases of the area’s use as a public square, a further three separate trenches were opened with the aim of checking the already identified beaten surfaces and proposing a chronology for the paving of the forum.
