The so-called coloniae maritimae, founded by Rome along the Italic coasts between 338 BC and the first decade of the 2nd century BC, are the first type of city with a regular urban layout founded by the Romans. They are fundamental to understand the dynamics of acquisition and elaboration of the urban models by the Romans in regular colonial urban planning. The aim of this research is to deepen this theme of the Romanization process at Antium (60 km south of Rome), the first colony under Roman law (colonia maritima), founded after the Astura battle.
In particular, a Republican complex of buildings has been identified within the current Municipal Villa, including a podium in peperino, which could be related to the first phase of the colony. The excavation of this archaeological complex could clarify some aspects of the urban planning of Antium city and of other similar colonies later founded along the Tyrrhenian and Ionian coasts, in particular after the end of the Hannibal war.
