The investigations concerned the areas partially excavated in 2016 to better understand the development of the city Forum (areas 1000, 3000 and 4000), and a new area (6000) between the Plateia A and the three buildings on the south side of the Forum (temples A, B and the Capitolium).These new investigations helped us to define the Forum plan and its relationship with the residential area and, as regards area 6000, to shed new light on the archaic phase of the settlement on the Palecastro hill.

A team of graduate students from the Universities of Messina, Udine, and Calabria participated in the excavations, which took place in June, 2016, and were aimed at understanding the spatial organization of the Forum, Blanda’s principal square. The excavations revealed the presence of a commercial building (datable to the 2nd-4th centuries A.D.) aligned with plateia A, the town’s main avenue, and yielded new data about a porticus triplex that framed the northern, eastern and southern sides of the Forum.
