Abstract

In the Roman Suburbs, some late antique sources attest the existence of places connected to imperial ceremonials. For example, the Antemius adventus in Rome, in 467, is introduced by the ceremony of assumption of the power tertio ab urbe miliario in loco Brontotas; ten years earlier Maioriano levatus est in miliario VI in campo ad columellas. These places were probably in the area between the fifth and sixth miles of the Via Appia, in particular in the site of the villa of the Quintilii. This hypothesis brings out the imperial character of the road, still accentuated during the late antiquity.
