Newest archaeological site in Rome- under a hotel!

The city of Rome has announced a new dig site that will be open to the public. A fruitful collaboration between public (City of Rome, Special Superintendency of Rome) and private entities (Finint Investments), the excavation underneath the new Radisson Collection Hotel has revealed a new portion of the Porticus Minucia, where grain was distributed in Antiquity. Follow along as Darius connects this new dig site to the temple and another portion of the portico, down the street!
Thank you to the Rome authorities and the Radisson Hotel for the inaugural visit to the site. Shortly, it will be open to the public!
