The remarkable extent, state of preservation and monuments of
Ocriculum make this one of the most important archaeological sites
in ancient Italy. Located close to the river Tiber, north of Rome
on the Via Flaminia, many travellers were drawn to Otricoli and its
landscape, lured by its beauty. Significant monumental remains of
the Roman town are still visible: the amphitheatre, the theatre,
the forum area, basilica, baths and nymphaeum. Academic studies
devoted to this important town are many, and this volume represents
a further contribution to our understanding of the ancient town.
Here are published the results of the urban survey in 2002-5. Field
survey was coupled with a geophysical survey that has identified
new features. This work adds greatly to our understanding of the
ancient town and tells a different story to that usually told of
Roman towns in terms of scale, layout and organization, as well as
architectural and sculptural finds; and thus contributes
significantly to debate on Roman urbanism. With contributions by
Luana Cenciaioli, Sophy Downes, Rose Ferraby, Enrico Floridi, Shawn
Graham, Salvatore Piro, Tim Sly, Lacey M. Wallace, Andrew
Wallace-Hadrill and Sabrina Zampini
