at vicus Caprarius

In the area called vicus Caprarius, close to the Trevi fountain, the remains of two independent
buildings were found between the present via di San Vincenzo and the vicolo del Puttarello, supposedly
more that 200 sq m and probably burned down in the 5th c during the sack of Rome by the Vandals
(455 ad). One of these buildings, originally from the time of Nero, underwent a deep transformation
in the time of Hadrian (after 123 ad). The two spaces nearest to the vicus Caprarius were linked, so
as to be part of a large water basin with a capacity of 150.000 liters.
