Abstract :
The excavations of the Via Imperiale in Rome revealed many tombs and funeral buildings, following the notes of Massimo Pallotino on the 1941 excavations of Mussolinis sopraintenza. Renewed research and reexcavations were done in order to get a clear view of the remains within the current archaeological research. In the margine of these excavations the mosaics of the S. Balbina church were uncovered. For the first time since the church was restored in 1928, the mosaics could be seen and exhaustively examined.
