In 2023, during the underwater archaeological documentation of the port of Puteoli, a submerged Nabataean temple was located and partially investigated. The authors present the first results of these new research activities, including a reconstruction of part of the building and details of two altars and some inscribed slabs.

The Phlaegrean coast near Naples, Italy, has been formed by a series of geological events and the continual uplift and subsidence of the land. Volcanic activity has not only shaped the landscape but also preserved rich archaeological evidence beneath the current sea level.
