    ANALYSIS
    <[FRAGMENT ANALYSIS IN PROGRESS]

    Description The upper part of the fragment has an original slab edge. Walls belonging to tabernae that attach to the back of a row of tabernae on 28a are visible on the upper part of the fragment. These open up to a large open area, a possible court, flanked on the lower side by tabernae and two possible houses? (indicated by staircases). Below this building a street is visible, running left to right, continuing into slab 34b. One taberna or room from the previous building has a doorway unto this street as well. This street is intersected by a street running top to bottom and forming a T-section. The bottom left part of the fragment shows the corner of a building with one or more rooms. The bottom right has two rooms incised, its function is unclear.

    Identification: warehouse district on right bank of Tiber Fn23 is one of the fragments discovered in the 1999 Templum Pacis excavations and digitized at Stanford in 2001. Running the computer boundary incision matching algorithm resulted in a very highly scored match with fragment fr. 28a (Koller-Levoy 2005, fig 2, 3). This position places the fragment in the corner formed between fragments 28a and 34b (fig. 3). It is located in the area above the Via Campana-Portuensis which is running left to right on fr. 28a. This is a warehouse district with many commercial and industrial spaces.

    Significance This fragment shows the urban fabric on the right bank of the Tiber and the high degree of industrial and commercial buildings related to port activities and its connection to main thoroughfares to and from the city, such as the Via Campana-Portuensis.
