L'area sacra di Largo Argentina tra IV e VI secolo. Nuove osservazioni topografiche ed epigrafiche

In this paper we propose the re-examination of the corpus of inscriptions datable between the 4th-6th centuries A.D., found during the excavations conducted by G. Marchetti Longhi in the Area Sacra of Largo Argentina, between the 1920s and 1930s. The study of this epigraphic repertory, carried out through the analysis of the forms, onomastics and palaeography, was guided by the question regarding the condition of reuse of some fragments. The result of the research sees in the late antique epigraphic fragments possible elements of the cosmatesque flooring of the medieval church of S. Nicola de Calcarario, built in temple A of the Area Sacra.
