REGISVILLA

REGISVILLA
   The port city of Vulci, similar in nature to the ports of Gravisca and Pyrgi. Aerial photography has shown the existence of both city and cemetery in the location of Le Murelle. Excavation has identified a late Archaic city laid out on regular lines, including a large building dated to between 550 and 450 BC by its black and red figure Attic pottery and transport amphorae.
