Archeologists have found new artifacts well preserved in the bath houses and villa located in Villa delle Vignace south of Rome's Ciampino airport. The first artifacts were recovered in 1780 and have been shown in the Vatican since. The new artifacts that were recovered were a marble head of a Greek god and a colored glass mosaic of leaves. The artifacts were present in this bath house and latrine system which once belonged to Quintus Sevilius Pudens, a rich freind of the emperor Hadrian. The artifacts remained intact because they were below the first floor undergound. The villa is also located near a 6th century barbarian camp, and thebties between the two are still under study.
