This
is an artificial hill located in the river
port area of the ancient city, near the warehouses
which stored food produce, the so called horrea.
54 meters high and one kilometer in circumference,
the hill consists of taste, or earthenware fragments,
deriving mainly from the amphorae used to transport
the wares, which were systematically dumped here
and piled up between the Augustan period and
the mid 3rd century AD, according to the findings of
recent studies.
A pile
of this size and height was made possible by the existence
of a ramp and two paths, which were used by the carts
laden with potsherds and broken amphorae, many
of which still bear the manufacturer's stamp their handles,
while others feature tituli picti, notes in paint
or ink indicating name of exporter, content, any checks
performed during the journey and consular date.
