of Venus, a variant of the iconographic type of Venus pudica, a statuette of a male deity, probably Apollo, and a left foot also
belonging to a small sculpture. The exact finding place of the three artifacts is uncertain, since they have been discovered in a spot
generically indicated as Area B of the site of Villa San Silvestro. This uncertainty makes difficult to clarify their meaning and
destination. Chronologically, the first two sculptures can be dated to the first century A.D., while for the third fragment it is only
possible to propose a generic Roman period.

The original owner and subsequent ownership are still unknown, but the archeological remains show that the villa had to belong in imperial times to members of the Roman aristocracy. A new analysis of the structures and the artifacts of the pars urbana redefine the construction phases of the residence and allow us to backdate its foundation to the end of the 2nd century BC - first half of the 1st century BC. The archeological finds also testify the wealth of the owner: the pars urbana, in fact, seems to have been decorated with coloured marble, frescoes, terracottas, statues and so on. In addition, the agricultural and productive vocation of this area in Roman times is demonstrated ›ai Cavallacci‹ by the recent discovery of a sector of the pars rustica.

elements in white and colored marbles belonging to fine wall ornaments. The fragments of different types were not found in situ but in the artificial infill of the nymphaeum; for this reason there are doubts about
the actual connection between the archaeological evidence and the analyzed marble finds. These are crustae representing satyrs, dancing maenads and offerers with heads in profile or in frontal view, winged figurines, animal paws and architectural and vegetable elements, referring to opus sectile decorations, with simple or complex motifs, dating from the first half of the 1st century AD to the late antiquity. From the infill came also slabs with an inlay decoration (interraso marmore). At last there are two white marble slabs on which are visible some preliminary sketches, made through a kind of charcoal and refirring to a planning stage.

The complex, which covers a period of time ranging from the end of the 2nd-early 1st century BCE to the 4th and 5th century CE, is one of the urban-rustic villas that added the economic benefit of agriculture to the pleasure of living in the countryside. Unlike other similar villas documented in the surrounding area, the marble remains found in the villa “ai Cavallacci” help us to have an idea of its original decoration. Marble appears in the studied case not only as architectural and sculptural element, but also cut in opus sectile pieces for the wall and pavement covering

Elagabalus”. This presents an iconography very unique, and some elements (a female image before its
feet, scaled ependytes) may refer to the Apollo of Hierapolis Bambyce, which until now was known
only through depictions in the East as well as through a description of Macrobius. Since the statuette
belongs to the first half of the third century AD, it could belong to a shrine inside the complex of the
“Baths of Elagabalus”.

Un’informazione di questo tipo è infatti raramente disponibile, per questo, per tratteggiare una storia socio-culturale dei frequentatori e proprietari di beni immobili nell’ager, l’attenzione è stata rivolta all’analisi del dato letterario. Il lavoro era già stato impostato da Giuseppe Lugli in un articolo del 1915. Lo studioso tuttavia non fu interessato alla ricostruzione di una geografia patrimoniale e al tessuto sociale dell’ager. La ricerca da lui compiuta era volta a dare una prima sistematizzazione del materiale noto, mantenendo comunque una preferenza per le strutture archeologiche e abbandonandosi, talvolta, alla tentazione di associare scoperte locali a quelle personalità della storia romana che riuscì a rintracciare. Tuttavia agli occhi di un osservatore imparziale le sue argomentazioni non sono sufficientemente forti per colmare il divario esistente tra materiale archeologico e letterario. Questo inciso vuole rilevare come fu la ricerca di quell’associazione e la preferenza per le evidenze a impedire a Lugli di concentrarsi su quelle personalità. Da queste sono ripartito tracciando un profilo costruito rispondendo, ove possibile, a interrogativi piuttosto semplici: Chi è? Perché è lì? Quando possiede? Chi eredita?
Le complesse risposte originatesi saranno discusse nel presente intervento.

nuove ricerche in questo settore geografico si è realizzata una carta archeologica che segnala la presenza di ville nel territorio in un ambito cronologico compreso tra il II sec. a.C. e il IV-V secolo d.C. L’analisi dei fulcri attorno ai quali gravita la localizzazione dell’ager, le modalità di
delimitazione territoriale e la presentazione dei risultati di ricognizione saranno discussi nel presente intervento
