The evocative site of Villamagna, rising in lovely solitude against
the steep wooded backdrop of the Monti Lepini, has enormous
importance; but its imperial villa, known from the letters of
Marcus Aurelius, has been largely ignored until recently, with
interest focusing upon the medieval monastery that occupied the
site. This volume presents the fascinating story of the site, from
imperial villa, to a late antique successor, monastic complex,
village, cemetery and late medieval castrum. Detailed, systematic
study of the site and setting by non-invasive techniques and
excavation has offered the scope to address a series of major
questions; and the results are interpreted, setting them in the
context of the documentary history of the site and its immediate
neighbourhood, and of the broader history of central Italy, from
around the first century through to the fourteenth. Each period of
the site is considered separately, with the buildings described and
the related finds (including pottery, glass, bones and
environmental data) discussed. The volume will be of great
importance for all scholars of Roman and medieval Italy.
