Lost Roman town comes to light
#1
Maybe you already know this discovery… and I missed the thread
An ancient Italian town, originally founded as a Roman colony in the 4th century BCE, in Southern Lazio it now mapped reviling the position of a theatre, a market and other structure previously unknown.
