The low hill known as Monte Giulio is anthropic, formed by the accumulation of sediment atop an ancient quay. Archaeological investigation beginning in 1968 revealed numerous architectural remains, including a cistern and a bath complex along the via Guidoni. The ruins of the so-called Capitaneria, or Harbor office, are located near the modern stele to the Fallen of Kindu. This complex seems to have been connected to the management of port traffic and was in use from the reign of Claudius until the fourth century.

Dear All,
a) the Capitaneria is located at 41.7883°, 12.2549°. That is outside of your polygon which, I believe, should go further north and south in order to cover the complete area of Monte Giulio.
b) The anthropic nature of Monte Giulio is uncertain and the presence of an ancient quay or dtructure underneath is even less certain. Monte Giulio area was studied by Arnoldus, 2015 (see https://www.academia.edu/11259186/Antonia_Arnoldus_Huyzendveld_Patrizia_Turi_Cinzia_Morelli_2015_Il_paleoambiente_di_Monte_Giulio_e_della_parte_nord_orientale_del_bacino_portuale_di_Claudio )
I hope this helps. Sorry for not yet being an expert in editing Pleiades! BRgds. Arthur
