Ager Vaticanus, Archaeological site in Regio XIV Transtiberim, Rome, Italy
The Ager Vaticanus extends across an alluvial plain on the right bank of the Tiber River, between the Janiculum Hill and Monte Mario.
During ancient Roman times, this area marked the boundary between Rome and the Etruscan city of Veii until its conquest in 396 BC.
The site contains multiple necropolises with preserved tombs, including the notable discovery of Crepereia Tryphaena's sarcophagus with intact funeral items.
Visitors can access the archaeological remains through guided tours that explain the evolution from marshy grounds to religious center over two millennia.
The area features two ancient Roman roads: via Triumphalis for military processions and via Cornelia, connecting through bridges to central Rome.
