Settefinestre plancryptoporticuscryptoporticus
Settefinestre is best known for the site of late Republican Roman slave-run villa that was excavated in 1976-81. It lies between Capalbio and Orbetello in Tuscany, Italy.[1]
It was one of the first large Roman villas to be excavated and thoroughly published, and the exemplary archaeological excavations were a starting point for the new phase of science-supported field archaeology in Italy that led to a more detailed study of the occupation history of the Roman countryside and moves beyond the antiquarian tradition of villa-studies.[2]
It is also important as an example of the villas described in the ancient texts of Varro[3] and Columella.[4]
