The Latin colony of Cales, with which in 334 BC. Rome placed its first stronghold in Campania, extends on a large plateau of about 63 hectares, abruptly cut in the sixties of the last century by the Autostrada del Sole. The study was aimed at reconstructing, as far as possible, the shape of the Roman city, starting from the recognition of monuments and visible remains and from what has been documented by research and previous excavations, using also the notes and data collected in surveys conducted, albeit not systematically, since 1990. The research was stimulated by the numerous traces of buried structures recognizable in historical aerial photographs and satellite images, from which emerged a reconstruction of the Roman settlement’s layout.
