The archaeological area of the Forti palace includes the remains of a Roman road, a “cardo” that is located 20 metres on the right of the “cardo maximus”, and of a Roman domus.
The road (A) is north-south oriented and it is perfectly integrated in the city grid. It is 6 metres large and it still conserves the cart tracks. It is not clear whether this road had sidewalks and thus reached the width of other roads, that is about 12 metres, or whether it was limited to the roadway only. In the first case, which is also the most likely, this might have been a main street that marked a block of different dimensions from the others. In the other case, it would have been a secondary road for internal partition of an “insula” (an apartment building).
The road was covered by the construction of a domus, which was built in the I century A.D. and which was later renovated between the II and IV century A.D. To the first phase of the building we date the marble pavement and the remains of a sort of a logline, also in marble, which are thought to have been part of a fountain. The domus was abandoned between the IV and the V century A.D.
