Between the Republican and Imperial Age the Aventine Hill was a popular quarter characterized by a huge number of inhabitants and many buildings; later on it became an elegant residential area of the city. The hill was almost abandoned during the Late Antique period, and later, after the construction of oratories and monasteries, it acquired an almost agricultural aspect which did not change until the beginning of the 20th c., when the main construction work was concentrated between the 1930s and 1940s. Starting in 2009, the use of SITAR made it possible to add previous records about various interventions carried out by the main service managers. For the most recent data, like the excavations carried out on the via Marmorata, which brought to light structures built from the 1st to the 8th c. A.D., a chronological type that allows a diachronic vision of the excavations data was used to insert the records in the Archaeological Partitions system.
