History
Excavations in 2022 revealed the remains of a Roman tomb of small dimensions, likely of the columbarium type. The tomb included fragments of a sarcophagus in white marble and an inscribed funerary altar of the second century CE. The altar commemorates the life of one Valeria Laeta, daughter of Publius, who lived 13 years and 7 months. The absence of traditional pre-Christian epigraphic formulae led ministry archaeologists to speculate that the tomb is of a Christian nature.
