Abstract

International audience; The study of a peculiar Roman constructive technique, such as the opus reticulatum, and the identification of an evolutionary line provide new data about the buildings where such technique was applied. Metric and dimensional studies, connected to dated contexts, increase chronological data and that can be set out with other chronological clues provided by the archaeological study of the site. The implementation of this method, based on the direct and dimensional analysis of the stone’s elements used in the walls and the processing of the metrical data, show the trend of the opus reticulatum not only for some monumental tombs but also for other buildings of the city of Cuma. Here, with the study of a small part of the necropolis, it is possible to outline the setting of a complex building site that interested three different sectors.
