Indagini geofisiche a Liternum

Abstract

The geophysical prospections in Liternum provided numerous insights into the urban
organization of the site. Structures were detected beneath the basilica and parallel to
it, probably stemming from the time of the formation of the colony. Moreover, the
residential quarters were discovered directly north of the forum, limited by two road
axes. One of the roads crossing the forum has been recognized as extension of the via
Domitiana in the urban area. The other road runs however west of the forum, directly
alongside its buildings.
