According to CTP in 1986,
“This pistrinum was severely damaged by bombs during the
bombing of September 1943.
The whole north-east portion was destroyed. One bomb partially broke up the
roadway in front of the street entrance.
This has now been restored in part, whereas the four rooms to the north-east and part of the north perimetral wall have not yet been restored.”
