We observed in two holes the remains of an older basalt road, lying at a lower level than the current one via dei Sepolcri, and having a slightly different orientation.

The negative trace left by the blocks of the sidewalk shows a fairly clear difference between the ancient route and the current road.

La route en basalte la plus ancienne mise au jour entre le portique et l’actuelle voie dallée.

Nous avons pu observer dans deux sondages les restes d’une voie en basalte, plus ancienne, se trouvant à un niveau plus bas que l’actuelle via dei Sepolcri, et ayant une orientation légèrement différente.

La trace en négatif laissée par des blocs du trottoir permet d’observer une différence assez claire entre le tracé antique et l’actuelle voie.
