  • Abstract

    The Roman villa at Lugnano lay in the hills on the left bank of the Tiber, 7 kms. from ancient Ameria and about 70 kms. north of Rome and was therefore in Umbrian territory. It was probably built, according to the excavators, in the 10s B.C. It went into serious decline, they believe, in the years around 200 A.D., and thereafter enjoyed “limited or sporadic use” until it was employed in the mid-fifth century as a cemetery for young children. The villa was first excavated, for two seasons, by the Soprintendenza Archeologica, represented by Daniela Monacchi, then for six more seasons by a joint team put together by David Soren (under the aegis of the University of Arizona) and by the Soprintendenza. The report published here is naturally the work of many hands, but chiefly those of Soren, Monacchi, William Aylward, Archer Martin, Carla Piraino and Michael McKinnon.
