The Mansio and the So-called Villa Rustica: A new Interpretation
Language
English
Description (en)
The Roman complex at Ponterotto in the Pesa valley comprises a series of buildings, dating from the 1st to the 6th century CE. The paper gives a detailed report on the results of the excavations conducted 2010 till 2012 which resulted in the identification of six periods. The entire architectural complex has undergone remarkable transformations both in function and design. Although commonly recognized as Roman villa some anomalies with respect to the ‘classic’ model of a Roman productive villa are recognized. Thus, also based on the study of the materials found, a new interpretation of Ponterotto as mansio is proposed.
