The territory of the Roman town is not particularly rich in evidence (fig. 1); this is concentrated in the town itself and its immediate vicinity (fig. 2).

Some milestones found far from the urban centre tell us of a road which went from the current Porto Torres to Cagliari, passing by Fordongianus.

Some stretches of this road were identified near the bridge over the Tirso, and the ruins of an aqueduct were found nearby.

During modern works in the current town, stretches of urban roads, of houses were brought to light (fig. 3); reports from the beginning of last century also mentioned isolated tombs.
