Indagini archeologiche presso il tempio forense di Cupra Marittima (AP)

Abstract

The University of Naples L'Orientale, after a long pause in its investigations in the area of the Forum of Cupra, has
started a new research project aimed at understanding the occupation phases of the city's monumental area and the topographical development of the entire settlement area. Research in the forensic area, after the first investigations in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in which the focus was mainly on the recovery of objects, had received an initial impulse in the second half of the twentieth century, by the competent Superintendency, followed by the large-scale excavation and valorisation project by Arcus spa. Despite the great economic effort put into the field investigations, and the valorisation of the archaeological park with the creation of reception facilities, the vast amount of data collected in those investigations remained unpublished, with the exception of a preliminary edition.
