These finds include two rooms dating back to the <strong>3rd century<\/strong>, during the imperial age, that still have, despite a fire, extensive and well-preserved parts of the wooden attic and of the furniture. The archaeologists are uncovering a black and white floor mosaic, with a double heart-shaped frame. The discovery of wooden parts, even carbonised, that are readable and consistent is a unicum for the city of Rome and extremely rare for such ancient ages.<\/p>\n<p>The excavation area of the \u201csmall Pompei\u201d is located on the slopes of <strong>Celio<\/strong>, a hill that, during the imperial age, hosted luxurious aristocratic houses and military buildings on its top.<\/p>\n<p>During the excavation, the skeleton of a dog emerged. The dog was crouched down in front of a door and, presumably, got trapped in the building when the fire started. This is a hint of the fact that the building hasn\u2019t been torn down on purpose, but it has collapsed because of the unexpected fire.<\/p>\n<p>The finds were made thanks to the realization of the <strong>Compensation Grouting Shaft Q15 at Largo Amba Aradam<\/strong>. This shaft was used to execute the compensation grouting, the technique foreseen as mitigation measure of possible failures of the <strong>Mura Aureliane at Porta Metronia<\/strong>, located along the <strong>T3 section of the Metro Line C in Rome<\/strong>. The \u201ccompensation grouting\u201d intervention consists in the execution of cement grout injections in the ground under the structures\u2019 foundations, with the aim of compensating in real time the failures induced by the realizations of the TBM tunnels.<\/p>\n<p>Trevi executed the <strong>plastic and structural piles<\/strong> (1200 millimeters diameter and 34 meters depth) to allow the excavation of the shaft, starting point for the perforations of the \u201ccompensation grouting\u201d intervention under the Mura Aureliane.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archeological finds presented to the press<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Matteo Sertori","author_link":"https:\/\/trevispa.com\/en\/author\/msertori\/"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trevispa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trevispa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trevispa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trevispa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trevispa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1090"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/trevispa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1090\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trevispa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trevispa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trevispa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
