1. Vico Iugario / Vicus Iugarius - Italian Marker
Inscription.  Il Vicus Iugarius è uno dei percorsi stradali più antichi di Roma: il suo tracciato, sostanzialmente inalterato nel tempo, costituiva già nell'età regia il rapido collegamento tra la valle del Foro, in cui esso incrocia la perpendicolare Via Sacra, ed il porto sulla riva sinistra del Tevere. I dati raccolti con l'indagine di scavo -condotta su circa 9 metri di stratigrafia- hanno evidenziato che l'antico asse viario è sempre rimasto in uso -senza soluzione di continuità- fino all'età moderna: lungo la strada infatti sono stati sfogliati uno dopo l'altro gli strati di frequentazione costituiti da semplici battuti di terra o da acciottolati e tuttora alcune strutture testimoniano la crescita dell'abitato, ai lati della via. Il basolato conservato all'interno del complesso archeologico è datato tra la fine del V e inizi VI sec.d.C., ma questo livello dovrebbe tuttavia riproporre la quota originaria, data la presenza di una fogna d'età arcaica subito al di sotto dell'attuale piano pavimentale. Tra il VII e VIII d.C. secolo compaiono i primi battuti, conservati nella stratigrafia esposta, che cominciano ad innalzare la sede stradale.

All'inizio del X sec. d.C., quando viene costruito l'edificio altomedievale, la quota di calpestio è più alta di oltre un metro rispetto al pavimento in lastre di travertino di fine I sec. a.Cantistante il lato corto della Basilica Giulia. Della fase medievale dell'abitato resta infine una muratura caratterizzata da due arcate, in bozzette di tufo con ghiere in laterizi, del XIII sec. d.C.

English:
The Vicus Iugarius is one of Rome's most ancient roads: its route, virtually unchanged over the centuries, was already a shortcut in the Regal period between the Forum valley, where it crosses the perpendicular Via Sacra, and the harbour on the left bank of the Tiber. The data collected from excavations -conducted on about 9 m of stratigraphy- have shown that the ancient road was used uninterruptedly until the modern period: along the road is an unbroken sequence of frequentation layers consisting of simple beaten earth or cobblestones. Some structures next to the sides of the road survive as evidence of the city's growth. The paved road now visible inside the archaeological area dates to between the late 5th and early 6th century AD; this must be the original height of the road since there is a sewer of the archaic period immediately beneath the present surface. The first beaten earth surfaces that begin to raise the level of the road appear between

the 7th and 8th centuries AD and are preserved in the exposed stratigraphy. In the early 10th century AD, when the early medieval building was constructed, the road surface was over a metre above the travertine floor of the late 1st century BC in front of the short side of the Basilica Julia. Finally, a wall with two arches made of small tufa blocks with brick undersides dating to the 13th century AD survives from the medieval period.
