As this was supposed to be one of the richest cities in Italy, I would expect a series of docks along the shoreline with sunken fishing vessels as well as many ships of the wealthy. All ships would have been burnt down to the waterline, sinking with the hulls intact. Dating the site could be undertaken with archeological evidence from these ships. The characteristics of Etruscun civilization would be apparent with perhaps names engraved on the local coins.

Hello Jetstove: The way i picture this event, prior to the thunderbolt there wasn't a lake.
Any dating from the area would be a problem from a time prior to the thunderbolt. Most dating methods seem problematic.

The crater seems to be the result of an arc that was repulsive, removing material and melting what was left behind. Brandberg seems to be the result of an attractive arc while the air was full of dust, causing dunes.

Very nice example. I study the height data of terrain for a mining company and I see electrical discharge everywhere.
In this terrain model, you can see how the tops of mountains are attractive and the valleys are repulsive creating a classic "Lichtenberg figure". The entire globe exhibits these similar height models. You can see the image here for global height data.
