Amba Aradam-Ipponio is an underground station under construction of Line C of the Rome Metro. The station will be located between two important interchanges of the Roman metro system – the station Fori Imperali-Colosseo (Line B) and San Giovanni (Line A). Construction works started in 2013. The station is expected to become operational with the inauguration of the extension of Line C from San Giovanni to Fori Imperiali-Colosseo in 2022.[1]
During excavation of the station in 2016, a Roman barracks dating back to the 2nd century AD was unearthed 9 metres (30 ft) below street level.[2]
