Lilybaeum. Basic urban layout.

西西里西海岸的港口城市利利巴厄姆在布匿战争期间是迦太基人和罗马人通往北非的重要军事基地和桥头堡。在罗马时代，它似乎也是一个高度繁荣的贸易海港。然而，到目前为止，发掘只能记录部分考古遗迹。众所周知的是今天属于马尔萨拉市区的防御工事和布匿墓地，以及考古公园内有一些晚期古董坟墓和部分孤岛建筑的最大十字墓地，包括卡波波埃奥的所谓的罗马岛别墅。该地区的考古研究称为Zona Mura，最近进行的地球物理调查揭示了罗马和晚期古董道路和一些城市结构。遗憾的是，为了扩大对城市发展和聚落格局的分析，整个地区的考古测绘尚未完成。因此，该项目的目标是首先对考古公园和马尔萨拉市地面上可见的所有保存下来的发现进行全面测绘，汇编数字和非数字数据，并将其呈现在可持续的网络地理信息系统中。最近挖掘战壕的数据可能有助于澄清不同城市景观的地层和年代学。对现有航空照片的评价，结合对地球物理勘探数据的解释和对最近出版的出版物的批判性分析，全面了解了利利巴厄姆的城市发展，以便对现有的关于不同城市景观的叙述进行第二次修订。

The harbor city of Lilybaeum on the western coast of Sicily was an important military base and bridgehead to North Africa during the Punic Wars for both Carthaginians and Romans. In Roman times, it also appeared to be a highly prosperous trading seaport. However, up until today the excavations can only partly record the archaeological remains. Well known are the fortifications and the Punic necropoleis nowadays belonging to the urban area of Marsala, as well as the decumanus maximus with some Late Antique graves and parts of the insulae buildings at the Archeological Park, including the so–called villa romana in Capo Boeo.Archeological research in the area called Zona mura and geophysical surveys recently brought to light Roman and Late Antique roads and some urban structures. Unfortunately, the archeological mapping of the whole area in order to extend analyses on the urban development and settlement pattern is not complete yet. The project therefore aims firstly to undertake a comprehensive mapping of all preserved findings visible above ground at the Archeological Park and in the city of Marsala by compiling digital and non-digital data by presenting it in a sustainable webGIS. Data from recent excavation trenches could help to clarify the stratigraphy and chronology with regard to different cityscapes. The evaluation of the existing aerial photographs in combination with the interpretation of the geophysical prospection data and the critical analysis of recent publication provide a comprehensive understanding of the urban development of Lilybaeum to revise secondly existing narratives about the different cityscapes.
