San Giovanni Incarico (Frosinone), Italy. Project »Fabrateria Nova«: Excavations at the Amphitheatre. Research Carried Out between 13 September and 8 October 2021

Περίληψη

Since 2007, the Rome Department of the DAI has been conducting research on Fabrateria Nova. The excavation of 2021 focused on the amphitheatre, which had already been investigated in 1984 and 1996–1997, and more recently in 2020, when drone and laser scanner surveys allowed the building to be better integrated into the city plan. With dimensions of 67 × 55 m and an arena of 51 × 37 m, the amphitheatre was built in opus incertum and stratigraphic analyses suggest a date to the 1st century BC. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the ceramics provide further data to support the study of the construction and its phases of use.
