Abstract
Uno dei grandi edifici pubblici di spettacolo di Roma antica, che si conviene denominare Naumachia Vaticana, giace sepolto sotto il quartiere Prati, può essere meglio ricostruito nelle sue dimensioni e nelle sue possibili molteplici fasi costruttive. La apparente contraddizione fra i dati degli scavi De Revillas del 1742 e degli scavi Rosati e Canuti indicati dal Nolli nel 1748 e dal Piranesi, dipenderebbe dal fatto che si sarebbe trattato di strutture vicine ma distinte, e pertinenti a fasi diverse. Ne uscirebbe riconfermata l’ipotesi di Pirro Ligorio di un rifacimento di età adrianea, o traianeo-adrianea, di un impianto neroniano.
One of the great public entertainment buildings of ancient Rome, which is conventionally referred to as Naumachia Vaticana, lies buried under the Prati district, but can be better reconstructed in terms of its dimensions and its possible multiple construction phases. The apparent contradiction between the data from the De Revillas excavations of 1742 and the Rosati and Canuti excavations indicated by Nolli in 1748 and by Piranesi, can be explained by the fact that the structures were close but different, and pertinent to different phases. This would reconfirm Pirro Ligorio's hypothesis of a Hadrianic, or Trajan-Hadrianic, remake of a Neronian structure.
