La villa dell’Auditorium rappresenta una delle scoperte archeologiche più importanti e discusse degli ultimi anni. La struttura è stata riportata alla luce durante la costruzione dell’Auditorium della Musica di Renzo Piano, lungo la via Flaminia a ca. 1,5 km di distanza dalle mura Aureliane, non lontano dal Tevere e dalla collina dei Parioli. La storia di questo monumento si sviluppa attraverso 6 periodi di occupazione ininterrotta durata ca. 750 anni, tra la metà del VI secolo a.C. e la metà del III d.C. Le caratteristiche del monumento, i suoi resti imponenti, la ricchezza e la varietà della ceramica rinvenuta permettono di interpretare il sito dell’Auditorium come un grande complesso aristocratico dotato anche di annessi sacri.

Abstract
The villa of the Auditorium represents one of the most interesting and discussed archaeological discovery in Rome during the last few years. This structure was brought to light during the construction of a new concert hall in Rome (the Auditorium), along via Flaminia, some 1.5 km outside the Aurelian Wall, not far from the left bank of the Tiber at the foot of Parioli hills. The history of this monument develops over 6 periods of uninterrupted occupations of about 750 years, from the mid-6th century BC into the beginnings of the 3rd A.D. The characteristics of the monument, the massive ruins, the richness and variety of the pottery allow us to interpret the Auditorium site as a major aristocratic complex with annexed sacred structures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
