In the Compito area it was supposed to be a very big public building, probably a temple. This supposition is due to the finding of some big fragments of
groovedcolumns
made of local limestone. The temple can be dated back to the first imperial age, but it is impossible to reconstruct the plan of the religious building, nor to guess which divinity it was devoted to. The field in front of the Pieve is named after St. Peter, so it was probably a temple for the cult of Jupiter, which became a sanctuary devoted to St. Peter during the Christian age.
Another fragment of column with
facets
was found during the Teodorani’s excavations between 1995 and 1999. It belonged to another big building, not to the same one as the other column.
