ROME: Scientists have unveiled the contours of an ancient city north of Rome for the first time, and all they needed was a quad bike and a radar gun.
It was also the first time the ground penetrating radar technology — called GPR — has been used to map an entire city, Professor Martin Millett, one of the authors of the study, told AFP. Falerii Novi — a stone’s throw from modern-day Rome — has been buried underground for around 13 centuries. Much smaller than neighbouring Rome, Falerii Novi’s layout was nonetheless “more elaborate than would usually be expected in a small town,” the authors noted.
“You can see there’s a water supply system that must have been laid out very early in the development of the city,” he said. “What that’s telling us about is not just water, but about how the plan of the city was conceptualised.”
