The Barrington Atlas Directory notes: Monte Calvo
This terraced villa lies above the course of the Via Salaria on the southwest slope of Monte Calvo. The villa was identified and excavated to some extent in 1824-26 (Marzano 2007: 403). A large cache of high-quality sculptures was discovered, and many of those pieces ended up in Copenhagen. Epigraphic evidence suggests that the second-century A.D. owner was one Caius Bruttius Presens, a figure of some prominence during the reigns of both Trajan and Hadrian.
Excavation of the site resumed in 1998. Geophysical survey was carried out by the British School at Rome in 2004.
