Scavi a fregellae 1978–1984

L'articolo contiene la prima parte di un resoconto provvisorio sulla recente opera di scavo a Fregellae da parte di un gruppo di archeologi inglesi. Dopo una breve introduzione sulla storia della colonia e sullo sviluppo degli scavi, l'articolo tratta dell'area del santuario e delle mura della cittá. Ne emerge che il complesso monumentale del santuario fu forse costruito nel secondo quarto del II secolo a.C. e distrutto nel 125 d.C. Viene anche dimostrato che almeno una parte delle mura della cittá fu costruita per la prima volta durante la seconda Guerra Punica.

7 Although, as we shall see, the position of the earliest settlement within the space eventually occupied by Fregellae has not been identified, the date of the finds at the extra-urban sanctuary of Aesculapius make it unlikely that the earliest phase of the colony was itself at Rocca d'Arce (contra Säflund, G., Op.
