Last Week in Pleiades (26 June - 3 July 2023)

New Place Resources

  • The basilica and oratory of Damasianus, as well as the martyr tombs of Simplicius, Faustinus, Beatrice, and Ruinianus.
    Creators: Jeffrey Becker
    Contributors:
  • An archaeological area along the Via Ostiensis with evidence of human activity stretching from the Archaic period to the time of the Roman Empire. SIgnificant archaeological features include an extensive necropolis and a Roman bathing facility.
    Creators: Jeffrey Becker
    Contributors:
  • A tributary of the Vistre that originates from a spring in central Nîmes (ancient Nemausus), near the so-called Temple of Diana.
    Creators: Tom Elliott
    Contributors:
  • The so-called Mithraeum of Felicissimus is a Mithraic shrine located in ancient Ostia. The shrine itself was installed in a second-century CE building and likely dates to the later third-century CE.
    Creators: Jeffrey Becker
    Contributors:
  • The so-called Mithraeum of the Seven Gates was built at Ostia in the second century CE, repurposing rooms that originally date to the previous century.
    Creators: Jeffrey Becker
    Contributors:
  • The so-called Mithraeum of the Seven Spheres is located in ancient Ostia near to the theater-cum-quadriporticus complex. The so-called Quattro tempietti screen it from the Decumanus Maximus.
    Creators: Jeffrey Becker
    Contributors:
  • The so-called Palazzo Imperiale at Ostia is located at the western margin of Regio I. This building complex was initially excavated between 1855 and 1871 and many of its finds, especially mosaics, were transported to the Vatican Museum. The complex dates to the second and third centuries CE and includes a variety of installations - shops, storehouses, bathing facilities - but is most likely not a palace despite its modern sobriquet.
    Creators: Jeffrey Becker
    Contributors:
  • The sanctuary along the Decumanus Maximus of Ostia known as the "Quattro tempietti" dates from the Republican period. Based on multiple phases of restoration, they continued in use until at least the second century CE. Epigraphic evidence leads some scholars to conclude that the four temples were sacred to Venus, Fortuna, Ceres, and Spes and had been dedicated by one Publius Lucilius Gamala.
    Creators: Jeffrey Becker
    Contributors:
  • Remains of a Roman bridge spanning a former channel of Le Vistre de la Fontaine south of Nîmes have been excavated. Work at the site also provided significant evidence for Roman-era waste and lead contamination transported down the river from the urban center of Nemausus.
    Creators: Tom Elliott
    Contributors:
  • The ruins of a Roman villa located in the modern Italian locality of Punta San Limato, province of Caserta.
