Since 1994, the Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueo- logía en Roma (CSIC) has undertaken archaeological excavations in the ancient city of Tuscolo. After ten seasons, although there are many gaps, there are ever more data which enhance our knowledge of the formal features of the city throughout the long period of its history, from the archaic period until the Middle Ages. The available stratigraphic data allow to date the medieval occupation of Tuscolo from the end of the Xth century, and the existence of a series of layers demonstrate an intense occupation of ancient city until its final destruction (17th April 1191). The city was the capital of the Counts of Tuscolo (end of the Xth century- second half of the XII century), and after that it became a papal city. Archaeological results and historical sources coherently confirm that the city played an important political and economical role in the Latian context, and the rivalry between Tuscolo and Rome itself.
