Abstract:
The ERC Rome Transformed Project, launched for the study of the Eastern Caelin in Rome, aimed to detect and map the archaeological structures under this portion of the town without performing excavations. In the present paper, the new results from surveys conducted using the GPR method to investigate different sites in the surrounding area of the Basilica at Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, as part of the ERC-funded Rome Transformed project (2019–2025), are presented and discussed. In particular, the results obtained in the area of the Castrense amphitheatre and the carceres near Circus Varianus are presented and analysed.
