This article deals with a geophysical experimental activity carried out in the Maxentius Complex, an archaeological site located in Rome, Italy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of ground penetrating radar (GPR) for the structural detailing of buried roman baths structures. As a result, GPR allowed to confirm the literature-based information, i.e. to precisely locate the tanks of the thermal area. Their presence was already known through previous excavation but then buried and no longer visible. In addition, the tomographic analysis highlighted the presence of two further tanks, thereby suggesting the possibility of further rooms to be located close to the known ones. This assumption was also confirmed by tomographic analysis, which stressed out a wall pattern that seems to suggest the presence of further rooms in the top-right side of the area. In general terms, GPR demonstrated a great applicability to archaeological purposes, despite the reliability and productivity of the data interpretation is strongly influenced by the expertise of both the geophysicists and the archaeologists involved.

通过探地雷达检查地下罗马浴场的结构细节

本文介绍了在意大利罗马的考古遗址 Maxentius Complex 进行的地球物理实验活动。本研究的目的是评估探地雷达 (GPR) 用于埋地罗马浴场结构的结构详图的可行性。结果，GPR 允许确认基于文献的信息，即精确定位热区的储罐。他们的存在已通过先前的挖掘而为人所知，但随后被掩埋且不再可见。此外，断层扫描分析突出显示了另外两个储罐的存在，从而表明在已知的储罐附近可能还有更多的储罐。层析分析也证实了这一假设，它强调了墙壁图案，似乎暗示该区域右上角存在更多房间。总的来说，探地雷达显示出对考古目的的极大适用性，尽管数据解释的可靠性和生产力受到地球物理学家和考古学家的专业知识的强烈影响。
