Synthesis of the individual excavations in Workshop di archeologia classica 1 (2004), 61–161; addenda in vol. 2 (2005), with Carandini's conclusion at p. 189: ‘Con una tale strepitosa scoperta, il problema delle origini di Roma in quanto esordio della città e dello stato può dirsi nel suo nocciolo risolto’.

⁹ The debate was pursued in the newspapers, with the initial discovery reported on 21 November 2007 (lacopi and Carandini, in Il Corriere della Sera), followed by the views of La Regina (La Repubblica, 22 November) and Zevi (La Repubblica, 23 November), who made the observation that in all the excitement over the Lupercal the simple fact that this represents the only surviving example of a completelv preserved, decorated dome in all of Rome was being overlooked. Carandini's hypothesis was hotly contested bv Filippo Coarelli in La Repubblica on 15 February 2008.
