| description | This paper presents the analysis of a heart-shaped Tuscan capital, avoid of context, found in Rusellae. Its shape allows to attribute it hypothetically to an arcaded structure identified with the Forum.

It also allows a better understanding of the restoration of the Forum during the Imperial era. |
