1. Basilica Aemilia Marker
I resti sotto la tettoia sono pertinenti al primitivo impianto della basilica: si tratta del muro di fondazione e dei basamenti delle colonne in blocchi di tufo di Grotta Oscura, alcuni dei quali presentano ancora i marchi di cava. Queste fondazioni mostrano che nella sua prima fase edilizia la basilica era a tre navate: mentre i colonnati delle navate laterali si presentano in asse con quelli della costruzione successiva, non si era ancora data una maggiore larghezza allo spazio centrale.
The earlier plan
The remains under the roof belong to an earlier version of the basilica. They consist of a wall foundation and column footings made from blocks of Grotta Oscura tufa, some which have visible quarry marks. These foundations show that in its first phase the basilica had a central nave and two aisles. The colonnades of the side-aisles were on the same alignment as those of the later building, but in this period the central nave had not yet been widened.
