Capena

Capena was a small town, situated in the Tiber valley some 35 km to the north of Rome. It was a significant regional centre during the Etruscan and Roman periods, which is documented by over a millennium's worth of archaeological evidence, ranging from the early Iron Age to late Antiquity. During last year's season, the team uncovered a late Roman building complex, including thermal structures, which represent the final phase of occupation at Capena. Owing to the high level of preservation, this represents one of the most significant examples of late Roman urban living in the area, and seems to form part of a continuous use of the site, which will be explored during future seasons.
