Antiquarian Discoveries From Rome Excavations Grow Noteworthy
Excavations near the Campa Vaccine area around the Temple of Jupiter Stator reveal new plan details as three columns indicate ancient drainage on the Palatine. Discoveries include parts of the Temple’s platform, a possible front facing Antonius and Faustina, and a discovered Via Sacra adjacent street paving. A fragment of the Masti Consulares fills gaps, dating the republican era roughly 200 to 30 BCE. The Pope viewed a bust of Cicero at the Vampo Vaccine on January 6. Villa Mathei gains monuments under the Prince of Peace, with Princess Alerija visiting to examine finds. Sarcophagi and vases enhance the villa’s allure for antiquarian enthusiasts.
