- Abstract
- This paper is a report on what is actually known about Roman Cures Sabini. It gathers a review of previous works and a report of new non-invasive interventions including geophysical analysis and the cleaning of a previously-excavated thermal bath com-plex. Beside this activity, a new and complete orthophotogrammetric and 3D relief of the architectural structures of the thermal baths and the so-called “north-west building” has been carried out. The latter one is a composite structure identified in the 1980s that has never been studied specifically. Thanks to the new reliefs and a careful revision of the historiographical, archaeological and epigraphic data, an attempt has been made to reconstruct part of the monumental and urban landscape of the city. This has led to the hypothesis of a less im-portant crisis regarding the settlement during the high imperial phase on the contrary on what has been suggested previously. In this sense, the hypothetical replacement on the city map of the urban temple (which has been identified and drawn by the ar-chaeologist Rodolfo Lanciani in 1875) that has been possible thanks to geophysical prospections and a review of the written and graphic documentation of the excavations led during the 19th century, complete and support the hypothesis that Cures Sabini has been different from other “central places” of central Italy during the historic age.
