On the southwestern terrace of Colle S. Lorenzo, in Lanuvio, there are some remains of the ancient
city, including a
porticus
in irregular
opus reticulatum, traditionally attributed to the Sanctuary of
Juno Sospita. A new systematic study of the evidences in this urban context, carried out within the
research project
“Lazio Antico”
of Sapienza University of Rome, brought to new observations, concerning: a) a definition of the different architectural phases of the terrace; b) a possible reconstruction proposal of the terrace in its third phase; c) a reconsideration of its pertinence to the Sanctuary;
d) a proposal of an alternative reading of the context.
