This study examines the excavation of a villa rustica located in
the south-east suburbs of Naples. This villa has been attributed to
C. Olius Ampliatus because during the excavation a signaculum with
his name was discovered. The excavated building was built in the
late second century BC and enlarged in the time of Augustus and
destroyed during the famous eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. This
intact Roman villa of the Imperial period contained machinery for
the production of wine and olive oil, and the pars urbana of the
house was decorated with mosaics in opus signinum. In the basement
below the torcularium was found the body of the vilicus who sought
refuge there during the catastrophe.
