Abstract

In the framework of the memorandum signed between the Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica and the University of Huelva, a research project has been started on one of the internal east-west piers of Portus, the one known as “Molo della Lanterna”. Here we present the results of the first excavation campaign, in particular the analysis of the structure in the front area of the pier, which allow us to have a preliminary knowledge of a very significant part of the main port system of the Roman Empire. Data were obtained concerning the construction of the quay head and the last phases of use of the structures, following the 5th century C.E. Finally, data were obtained on the paleo-environment and sea levels during the life of the structure.
