Per un’ipotesi di identificazione del Foro di Aureliano e del praetorium di Ostia. Prime osservazioni a partire dalle indagini geofisiche
Résumé
This research, focused on the complex east of the Baths of the Porta Marina, is part of a research project on the coastal area of Ostia carried out by the Centre Camille Jullian, CEREGE and MAP-CNRS in collaboration with the Archaeological Park of Ostia Antica.
The integrated study of geophysical prospections, satellite images and topography allowed to define the characteristics of a large complex covering an area of approx. 15,000 m².
In particular, the presence of a large open area, flanked by a building with a basilical plan, makes it possible to recognize the structures of a forum. The location at short distance from the ancient coastline allows to identify the “Aurelian’s forum” and the praetorium known from the Historia Augusta.
