摘要：A geographical survey and the systematic collection of surface materials within unexcavated parts of Italica has revealed the discovery of plans of hitherto buried buildings in the Nova Urbs, as well as evidence about their chronology and decoration. It has been confirmed that Hadrianic Italica was an exceptional town, the inspiration for much of which is to be sought in other Hadrianic centres in the eastern Empire. The survey revealed the existence of a large baths-palestra complex, several hitherto unsuspected public buildings and a range of undocumented streets, mansions and houses. It also suggests that the Hadrianic projects may never have been completed. In the late years of the Empire Italica had become a walled and densely populated area lying to the south of the Traianeum and beneath the modern village of Santiponce.
