"Il 26 Ottobre si è svolto all'American Academy in Rome il convegno "Regia Revisited" che ha raccontato il progetto di riconsiderazione complessiva del sito, basata sulla creazione di un modello e di un archivio stratigrafico, avviata nel 2014 e frutto della collaborazione tra l’American Academy in Rome, l’Università della Calabria e la University of Michigan. Il convegno “Nuova luce sulla Regia”ha presentato lo stato attuale dei lavori a Roma e a Gabii per promuovere un ampio dibattito sulle importanti prove prodotte dai due siti. Qui pubblichiamo un articolo con alcune riflessioni post -evento. Buona lettura!" http://www.aarome.org/news/features/regias-revisited
