Ancient Roman city unearthed without digging

Archaeologists have mapped a complete Roman city for the first time using ground-penetrating radar, revealing highly detailed images that they say could revolutionise our understanding of how such sites worked. 

As well as a bath house, theatre, shops and several temples, the team from the universities of Cambridge and Ghent have discovered a large public monument of a kind never seen before, which may relate to the religious practices of the people who lived in the area before the Romans. 

In addition, experts say their research reveals evidence of a route around the outskirts of the city that was probably used as a religious processional way, and which was unlikely to have been uncovered by excavation alone. 

“If you’re interested in the Roman empire, cities are absolutely critical because that is how the Roman empire worked – it ran everything through local cities,” said Martin Millett, a professor of classical archaeology at the University of Cambridge.

While the meaning and function of large public monument remains a mystery for now, Millett said it may be derived from the religious and cultural practices of the Faliscan people, who occupied this part of Italy before it was conquered by Rome.
