| At "Pinto Parete", on the old road to Palagianello, there is a monument of the Augustan age (first century. BC - I century AD). In perfect opus reticulatum. It is believed that the tank of "Parete Pinto" and the other, found north of the ancient road between the "Lama di Lenne" and Palagiano, all located in the dominant points, gave water to an itineraria stop along the Via Appia, located about 15 miles from Taranto - perhaps a simple mutatio (place for change of the horses), since it is not mentioned by the sources - supported in the "praedia Pelagian" (farms of "Pelagians"), which must be assumed at the origin of the current toponyms Palagiano and Palagianello |
