Abstract

Between 2018 and 2019 the University of Verona, in collaboration with the Fondazione Aquileia and under licence from the Ministero per i beni e le attività culturali, carried out an archaeological excavation on the former Pasqualis property in Aqui-leia. The area has been already excavated in the ‘50s of the last century when two of the town’s parallel curtain walls that run along the river and market buildings located south from the basilica were uncovered. This city sector became particular-ly important from economic and social point of view for Late Antique Aquileia. In this paper (Part one) will be discussed the preliminary analyses of the archival documents and the geophysical survey that took place before the excavation. In the second part (Part two) the results of two years of excavation will be presented.
