During the months of May and June, 2018, a team of archaeologists and archaeological students engaged in fieldwork at the site of the so-called Villa di Tito (Villa of Titus), a monumental complex situated alongside the ancient Via Salaria on a terrace above Lago di Paterno in the territory of the comune of Castel Sant’Angelo (province of Rieti) (fig. 1). The structure consists of a massive concrete terracing wall defining a large platform 60 m in length (E-W) and ca. 20 m wide (N-S), atop of which are various smaller structures (fig. 2). The excavation of the site was directed by Drs. Myles McCallum (Saint Mary’s University) and Martin Beckmann (McMaster University), their Italian collaborator and coordinator, dott. Simone Nardelli, and their field director, Matt Munro, a PhD student in archaeology (University of Calgary).

Interim reports have multiple functions. The most evident is the simple account of the discoveries of the most recent season. However, they are also useful for trying out ideas, summarizing the knowledge acquired to date, and playing with hypotheses. In the previous report this function was evident in our first attempt at the reconstruction of the cella-coenatio complex, which we envisioned as a covered banqueting hall. Although the reconstruction fit the evidence then available, this year’s excavations effectively debunked it, showing that the foundation was not continuous all the way around the structure, and that we could therefore not expect the walls to bear such a load. Other objections had come from colleagues, complaining that the span was, in any case, too great for all but the most expensive timber the empire had to offer. The completion of the excavation of the courtyard of the casale and the test trench within the granary did offer new solutions to the question of the plan, and these in turn have suggested a new reconstruction.

Since 2015, the Trasimeno Archaeological Project has been investigating a Roman villa located between the localities of Gioiella and Vaiano in the territory of Castiglione del Lago. A preliminary surface survey of the site (2015) indicated that the villa was occupied from the 2nd century B.C. through the 3rd century A.D. While there is extensive evidence for an Etruscan presence in the region, the Gioiella-Vaiano Villa is the first Roman period site to be scientifically investigated. Of particular interest is understanding the changing role of the villa in the economic and social life of Central Italy from the mid- Republican to the late Imperial periods. Four seasons of excavation (2016-2019) has revealed a bath house with a partially preserved hypocaust system and a monumental nymphaeum with a water basin and walls decorated to look like the interior of a cave. Although systematic analysis of the finds has not yet been completed, preliminary observations indicate imported objects (e.g. decorative mar- bles and amphora) suggesting that in the early Imperial period the owners of the villa were wealthy and had access to net- works outside of Central Italy. Several brick stamps have been recovered with the name L.ATALLIANI, which may repre- sent an owner of the villa in the early Imperial period. It appears at least during the first centuries A.D. the villa served as a locus for economic production as well as for the display of social status and power.

The fourth season of excavation at the site 1 was aimed more at extending our knowledge of the structures already discovered than at breaking new ground. However, we went well beyond confirming our hypotheses, and this penultimate season has come close to completing our investigation of the three principle structures discovered so far: the winery, the slave barracks, and the church of S. Pietro in Villamagna.
