Thanks to this research, it has been possible to document part of the corridor that constitutes the head of the domus and to analyze the preserved structures that were excavated prior to our intervention. The new stratigraphic information provided by the excavation revealed that the house was abandoned in the second half of the 3rd century A.D. At this moment, the building was plundered and collapsed. New geophysical surveys have been carried out in the southwest of the Late Antique wall of Italica, which later were verified by excavation. Not only it is the first time the Late Antique wall of Italica has been identified by excavation, but also its formal peculiarities and the construction technique characterized by the reuse of plundered materials — probably from the abandoned area of the Nova Urbs of the city — are defined premiere. A date for its construction between the second half of the 4th century and the first half of the 5th century is proposed. Key words: Nova Urbs, Roman domestic architecture, stibadium, late Roman wall, necropolis
