In 1956, earthworks for the construction of a new I.N.P.S. building in the area between XX Settembre Street and Regina Margherita Avenue revealed ancient wall structures. The excavations brought to light the remains of a room with a well and some tanks pertaining to a fullonica, that is, a workshop used for washing and dyeing cloth, in which the processing cycle involved the immersion of fabrics in tanks containing bleaching mixtures or dyes. At the foot of a masonry bench, another section of mosaic bore the inscription “M. Ploti Silisonis F. Rufus,” perhaps an insignia indicating the name and patronymic of the owner of the establishment.<\/p>\n
On the ruins of the complex, dated to the end of the 1st century B.C., a quadrangular structure made of reused blocks was built in the late Roman period, embedded in a wall system that should perhaps be interpreted as a late defensive work. Below the I.N.P.S. building a cramped room includes part of the cocciopesto and mosaic paved environment with the well, a pallet and two tanks.<\/p>\n
A few rows of blocks, some of them ashlar, and two isolated limestone ashlars, of which one has a funerary inscription and the other a Doric frieze, remain of the quadrangular structure, which was almost completely destroyed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":59679,"template":"","meta":{"COMUNE":[],"note":[],"indirizzo":[],"accessibilita_mezzi":[],"coordinates":[],"images":[],"adesioni":[],"footnotes":""},"monumento_tipologia":[681],"accessibilita":[],"accessibilita_mezzi":[],"class_list":["post-89957","monumento","type-monumento","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","monumento_tipologia-bene-archeologico-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/89957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/monumento"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/89957\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":104214,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/89957\/revisions\/104214"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"monumento_tipologia","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumento_tipologia?post=89957"},{"taxonomy":"accessibilita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibilita?post=89957"},{"taxonomy":"accessibilita_mezzi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibilita_mezzi?post=89957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
