The Masseria Cobellis public building, recently investigated in Velia (Salerno), is one of the most interesting examples of public architecture concerning the study of the Romanization of the town. This complex, built on the site of a natural spring, presents in its last phase of construction a large rectangular open area, bordered by porticoes, with a nymphaeum and an aula in axial and highlighted position. The building seems to rework some models popular also in Campania during the early Imperial age, pointing features of the local architectural repertoires and the new élites’ needs.

Abstract
The Masseria Cobellis public building, recently investigated in Velia (Salerno), is one of the most interesting examples of public architecture concerning the study of the Romanization of the town. This complex, built on the site of a natural spring, presents in its last phase of construction a large rectangular open area, bordered by porticoes, with a nymphaeum and an aula in axial and highlighted position. The building seems to rework some models popular also in Campania during the early Imperial age, pointing features of the local architectural repertoires and the new élites’ needs.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
