Roselle Archaeological Area

Roselle Archaeological Area
In the Roselle Archaeological Area near Grosseto, it is possible to admire the squared, 3-kilometre long stone wall complete with seven portals, presumably built in various epochs, that surrounds the ancient town.
In the northern portion of the archaeological area, there are the remains of a Roman amphitheatre, attributable to the period of Augustus, while numerous traces of the Roman forum are also visible nearby. To the east of the forum area there is a Roman road leading to a basilica, also from the time of Augustus but later modified as can be noted. Also near the forum there are the ruins of the Flamines Augustales domus, a construction dedicated to imperial worship. Numerous houses are visible as well which place in evidence the Etruscan presence through the use of stones cemented together with clay and plaster; another house made of crude bricks surely predates the former. In the surrounding area, and especially along the access roads to the city, there is a series of necropolis remains.
Of particular interest, to the east of the Roman forum, sits the complex of the baths, presumably built at the beginning of the 2nd century and then modified during the late Imperial era.
Ever-increasing numbers of archaeological enthusiasts can find at the Roselle Archaeological Area some of the interesting things our country has to offer in this regard.
