The collected datasupplemented previous archaeological surveys performed by the University of Macerata with the aim of promotingthe valley and starting the realization of an archaeological park. Hadrianopolis was founded through a reorgani-zation of a previous Hellenistic settlement. Starting from 2015, magnetic and GPR surveys were carried out inHadrianopolis in order to determine the urban framework. The collected data revealed the existence of structuresorganized along two main different patterns, which have been interpreted as due to the superposition of Romanbuildings and Late Antiquity structures. In fact, the arrangement of structures in the studied area shows a regularurban organization of Roman type separated by a less regular disposition of the buildings that can be attributed tothe Byzantine age. The latter arrangement is superimposed on the previous Roman structures. A stone wall, clearlyidentified by the combination of magnetic anomalies and GPR images, separates the Byzantine seattlement fromthe genuine Roman sector.
