Kathryn Pape '09 participated in the excavation of a Roman bath complex at a villa in the Parco degli Aquedotti. She writes: "The villa was originally built by a friend of Hadrian's but was then in use in different forms for 400 years. The second season this summer has shown that the complex is even larger (with underground rooms and hypocaust systems) than originally thought."
