Falerii Novi, a 30-hectare settlement near Rome that was occupied between 241 BC and AD 700, is now almost entirely buried under agricultural land.

The ancient city of Falerii Novi, which is about 31 miles north of Rome, was mapped using advanced radar technology.

Falerii Novi, they discovered, was just under half the size of the famous ancient city of Pompeii.

Falerii Novi was founded in 241 BC during the time of the Roman Republic and was inhabited until around 700 AD in the early Middle Ages.

Falerii Novi, not quite half the size of ancient Pompeii, had previously been partially excavated but most remained buried.
