Pietra Papa

In terms of modern toponymy, Pietra Papa describes a place on the right bank of the Tiber River where today a riverside avenue (Lungotevere di Pietra Papa) links the Lungotevere Vittorio Gassman to Piazza Augusto Righi. Palmer asserts that the toponym "Pietra Papa" dates to the Middle Ages. Excavations in the twentieth century, supervised by Giulio Jacopi, revealed multi-period evidence that remains difficult to interpret. Most of the structural evidence begins from the late republican period. There is evidence for a bathing facility and also perhaps a portion of a riverside villa.
