"Recent excavations at the Villa of the Quintilii uncovered the remains of a
unique winery just outside Rome.
The mid-third-century CE building located along the Via Appia Antica portrays a
sense of opulence and performance almost never found at an ancient production
site.
This exciting complex illustrates how elite Romans fused utilitarian function
with luxurious decoration and theatre to fashion their social and political
status.
I was one of the specialist archaeologists to study this newly excavated site.
The details of this discovery are outlined in our new article in
Antiquity."
