Tech/Engineering - Archaeology / Description of Small baths in Tivoli
Italian term or phrase: massiccia attività di spoglio
Context: La presenza di vaste tracce di incendio, di fratture e di segni di collassamento del pavimento del piano inferiore, ha permesso di ipotizzare che l’edificio o almeno parte di esso, forse già in parte abbandonato o parzialmente riutilizzato come magazzino per lo stoccaggio di anfore, sia crollato nel corso del VI secolo forse a causa di una scossa tellurica e di un conseguente incendio e non più riabitato. In epoca successiva è attestata in alcuni settori del complesso una massiccia attività di spoglio, unita a tracce di nuova occupazione, più povera, a scopo abitativo, a livelli più alti
