Apparently, Venice still hides many secrets<\/strong>, as a group of researchers recently discovered traces of an ancient Roman road in its lagoon, a sign that the area at that time would have been accessible by land<\/strong> and not submerged yet.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It was announced in Scientific Reports<\/strong> by a team of experts from the Institute of Marine Sciences of the National Research Council (Ismar-Cnr) and the Iuav University of Venice.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The team discovered 12 archaeological structures<\/strong> aligned in a northeast direction for 1,140 meters in the Treporti Channel. According to the team team that made this discovery, they are a road<\/strong> and a pier<\/strong> that were located at sea level during the Roman era. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The incredible discovery has been supported by a research for which various technological systems, such as sonar mapping<\/strong> of the lagoon and 3D digital reconstruction<\/strong>\u00a0of the road. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, the former discovery of stones in that area called “basoli<\/strong>“, very similar to those used by the Romans in the construction of other roads in the same area, and the size of the structures , which resemble those present in the lagoons of Grado<\/strong> and Marano<\/strong>, seem to confirm the hypotesis of the Roman origin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Their presence confirms that centuries before the foundation of the city of Venice stable settlements<\/strong> were already present. Probably that road was an important part of the Roman road network in north-eastern Italy and was used to connect Chioggia<\/strong>, the ancient Clodia, to Altino<\/strong>, on the northern part of the lagoon.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
