Marcello Mogetta is a Mediterranean archaeologist whose research focuses on early Roman urbanism in Italy. He conducts primary fieldwork at the sites of Gabii (Gabii Project) and Pompeii (Venus Pompeiana Project), for which he has received multiple grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Loeb Classical Library Foundation, the AIA, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. He coordinates the CaLC-Rome Project, an international collaboration that uses 3D modeling and surface analysis to the life cycle of ceramic vessels from the Esquiline necropolis in Rome. He is the editor of Élite Burial Practices and Processes of Urbanization at Gabii (JRA Suppl. 108, 2020), and co-editor of A Mid-Republican House from Gabii (2016) and Domitian's Rome and the Augustan Legacy (forthcoming).

'… [a] stimulating work … the bold thesis will inspire much discussion, in no small part because it rests on a keen understanding of the evidence … [Mogetta's] efforts deserve broad readership and serious engagement.' Seth Bernard, American Journal of Archaeology
