Résumé / Abstract
The paper reports the preliminary stage of a study on the evolution of the Velaber Minus valley and of its interaction with the slope instabilities on the Palatine western slope. The Palatine hill is among the historical hills of the Ancient Rome, as it hosts remnants of Republican temples, Imperial palaces and Archaic ruins. First the geological evolution of the valley was reconstructed on the basis of stratigraphical data. Then a stress–strain numerical modelling reproducing such evolution has been performed. Finally, it is here reported the intervention for the mitigation of local slope instabilities.
