For this purpose, legacy data from previous topographic research and surveys have been re-considered, and sampling areas of the ager tifernus - the territory of the municipium Tifernum Tiberinum (today Città di Castello) – have been identified for intensive fieldwalk aiming at total coverage artefact survey in ploughed fields. Combining intensive ceramics survey at different scale, remote sensing technologies and geophysical prospections on test-sites, the project aims at dealing with the gap between sites typologies (i.e. villa vs farm) and the spatial and economic relation between rural sites, considering several indicators. This regional record will have strong impact on the understanding of Romanization processes, Roman agriculture, socio-economic change during the Republican and Imperial period and the development of the villa system in central Italy.
