The first imperial villa in Lazio to have been excavated scientifically, this book documents the rich and varied life of the site, from imperial villa, to late antique successor, monastic complex, village, cemetery and medieval castrum. The buildings are described and the finds (including pottery, glass, bones and environmental data) discussed.
The British School at Rome celebrates its first hundred years of activity with this historical account, richly illustrated with over 270 images drawn from its archives.
One of the greatest consequences of Rome’s expansion across the Mediterranean world in the course of the Republic and the earliest years of the Empire was an exponential growth in the population and extent of the city itself.

The city continued under to be under threat, and in the 1950s was the subject of ground-breaking survey and excavation by John Ward-Perkins.

The remarkable extent, state of preservation and monuments of Ocriculum make this one of the most important archaeological sites in ancient Italy. Located close to the river Tiber, north of Rome on the Via Flaminia, many travellers were drawn to Otricoli and its landscape, lured by its beauty.
