The broad, paved line of the ancient Decumanus, the city’s main east–west artery is immediately visible, run ning parallel to, and below, the existing road. Extravagantly broad (10.5m), endowed with wide sidewalks, backed by rows of shops behind, and with a slightly arched surface for drainage, the street’s importance attracted many of the finest residences, which provide the principal interest here.
