Lost City of Stabiae: Recent Discoveries

Although Stabiae was reburied after the eruption and largely forgotten, new excavations have shed light on its rich history and architecture. In 2009, a Roman road was discovered, leading to the town and connecting it to the sea. In 2010, a villa from the first century was unearthed during excavations. In 2019, excavations in Piazza Unità d'Italia uncovered an Augustan or Julio-Claudian building and a 4th-century building. A necropolis containing over 300 tombs, the largest ever found in the region, was discovered in 1957. The villas in Stabiae remain some of the most stunning and opulent remains from any Roman settlement.
