Abstract
The recent excavations in the martyrial sanctuary of St. Felix highlighted, among other things, the remains of three rooms on the east side of the basilica nova, erected between 401 and 403 by Paulinus of Nola. The discovery allowed us to fix some key points regarding the issue of the number and configuration of the annexes to the aisles and, more generally, the structure of the basilica. Waiting to analyze the documentation of the old excavations (still partially unpublished) and to proceed with the study of the relevant materials, here I will first illustrate the new acquisitions on the construction phases of the annexes, their decoration and the dynamics of the filling, postponing the publication of the excavations and the detailed analysis of the stratigraphies along with the finds.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
