Descrizione
This paper presents some observations on the characteristics and development of residential villas in the Augustan age, withparticular reference to the Latium region, and, within it, to a case study represented by the Sabina Tiberina territory. In thiscontext, the data concerning the villa of Cottanello, recently investigated by the Sapienza University of Rome and the NationalResearch Council (CNR) of Italy, could offer some new perspectives to debate. The main aim of this paper is to try to verifywhether there are or not typical elements of the Augustan phase, within the long tradition of the Roman villa.
