Overview

"La villa romana di Punta Eolo e una ""villa a padiglioni"" situata all'estremita nord di Ventotene, dove si protende nel mare per circa 300 m di lunghezza e 100 m di larghezza, sviluppandosi per oltre tre ettari attorno a uno scalo portuale. La residenza, originariamente concepita come villa d'otium, fu la sede coatta di Giulia maggiore, figlia dell'imperatore Augusto, dopo la condanna per adulterio e la relegatio ad insulam nel 2 a.C. Nel I secolo d.C. la villa continuo a svolgere la funzione di luogo di reclusione per condannate di status imperiale. Gli scavi archeologici del complesso, coordinati da G.M. De Rossi negli anni 1990-2005, restituirono una grande quantita di frammenti di affreschi, stucchi, lastre Campana e rivestimenti pavimentali. Il presente libro e il risultato di un lungo lavoro di documentazione e analisi dei reperti messi in luce nel settore residenziale della villa."
