Roman villa of Alto do Cidreira ((ポルトガル語:Vila romana do Alto do Cidreira)) is a Roman villa in the civil parish of Alcabideche, municipality of Cascais. Although known since the 1890s, this site has nonetheless been neglected by archaeologist conservationists, resulting in destruction of artefacts, that include Roman era mosaics, a bath complex and an olive oil cellar. ==History== The territory of the municipality of Cascais has been an active zone of human occupation since the Neolithic, but extensively explored during the Roman occupation of the peninsula, from the complex industrial base uncovered on this site, so near the centre of the ancient Olisipo. The villa was likely constructed in the 1st century, from ceramics uncovered, which allowed the establishment of a primary occupation in the second half of the 1st century and first half of the second. There is an assumption that the area was abandoned at the end of the 2nd century and during the 3rd century, but a reoccupation occurred in the 4th and 5th century.〔 The site was first recognized by Francisco de Paula Oliveira, of the Portuguese geological services, who, at the end of the 1890s (1889 specifically) first referred to the Roman villa.〔〔 It was in 1915, that the correspondent for the ''Associação dos Arqueólogos Portugueses'' (''Portuguese Association of Archaeologists''), Félix Alves Pereira visited the locality, at the time after agronomist Caetano da Silva Luz, Viscount of Coruche (1842-1904), had completed some excavations.〔〔 Yet, these digs did not impeded the discovery of three tanks decorated with ''opus signinum'', and which were later partially destroyed in the 1960s during the construction of some residences.〔〔 It was necessary to wait until 1977, before, the site was examined, and then full systematic excavations were elaborated between 1980 and 1981, by archaeologists Guilherme Cardoso and José d'Encarnação.〔〔 On 25 November 2007, it was proposed that the area be classified as part of a Zone of Special Protection, by the municipal council of Cascais, which was approved by the DRCLVTejo on 14 May 2008, and tentatively by IGESPAR on 11 June.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roman villa of Alto da Cidreira」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
