Note preliminari sui resti di una struttura muraria in opera poligonale di epoca repubblicana nel basamento della Chiesa di S. Bartolomeo - Frazione Sipicciano di Galluccio (Provincia di Caserta - Italia centro meridionale)

The polygonal wall (third style of polygonal masonry) fragment reported in this paper has been only very poorly presented in some local publications and in book about the environmental contexts of the Roccamonfina volcano (Central-Southern Italy). Built with lavic elements, it now serves as the foundation for the northwall of the ruined church of San Bartolomeo in the village of Sipicciano di Galluccio (Caserta Province). Although this paper reports only the results of careful surface surveys, it is at least useful to describe and highlight an interesting structure that has so far escaped the attention of archaeologists and that certainly deserves to be studied in greater depth. The description allows comparison and suggest more in-depth and wider archaeological investigations in this extended area bounded by the Via Latina and the Garigliano river, along whose banks many Roman sites have been found. Thispublication extends our knowledge of the polygonal structures located in the border region between Lazio and Campania region, adding a structure with a fine building technique, great elegance and interesting functional peculiarities
