Work on this point was carried out with the object of finding out all about the entire stretch of city wall already located and, at the same time, to see how the structure was laid down.
The work showed that the city wall was laid down directly over earlier strata. On this side it could be seen that the walls of the intermediate phase were visible under the Roman wall. A wall was also located belonging to the settlement’s oldest phase (Late Bronze/Early Iron). This is the earliest structure located for this period.

he outline of the Late Roman Republican city wall and the excavated structures can be clearly seen. Late Republican city wall and earlier structures located outside the area occupied by the Roman Republican settlement. Decembre 2014.
Surveys 20 to 23 had a common goal, which was to locate the city wall on the south side of the settlement.
Survey 20: both the geophysical survey undertaken in 2010 and the electrical tomography at the end of 2014 indicated the presence of a stretch of city wall at this point. The work made it possible to locate the defensive structure of which only one level of stones has survived.
Survey 21: no remains of archaeological interest were found at this point. The stratigraphy seemed to respond to farm work in the area.
Survey 22: surface observation of two walls at this point, plus the marked difference in height, suggested that the city wall might be found here. The work showed that they were terraced vineyards from a more recent date.
