Fra Tirreno e Adriatico: Mario Torelli e gli scavi di Cupra Maritima

From the Tyrrhenian to the Adriatic Sea: Mario Torelli and the excavations at Cupra Maritima · In September 2012 Mario Torelli attended a meeting at Cupra Maritima (ap), concerning the excavations just completed after two years of research. On the occasion he discussed the role of the ancient Etruscan sanctuary dedicated to goddes Cupra and the results achieved during the stratigraphic digs done at the site of the Roman colony. The proceedings of the meeting have never been published, but thanks to the transcription of the lecture’s recording it is now possible to know his impressions on some aspects of the use of the Forum and on the chronology of the monumental planning of the Roman city, dated by him to the Augustan age. The text is preceded by an introduction to the site and about the buildings located around the Forum.
