I Campi Macri. Un mercato panitalico sulla via della lana

Many ancient sources mention the ovine market in Campi Macri as one of the most important of the Republican period throughout the Italic territory. The place can be identified near Magreta, a few kilometers south of the Via Aemilia and the Roman colony of Mutina, in a district famous for the quality of wool that was produced. The archaeological evidence suggests that the market has arisen under the rule of the Gauls, probably at a place of worship, and that the Romans had preserved it even after the conquest of the region. In fact, they took the place of indigenous economic structure without changing it substantially and preserving the public relevance, so taking advantage of the traditional trade and transhumance routes that through the Apennines and the Po valley connected upper Tyrrhenian to Venetia. Between II and I century BC livestock and wool trade, however, was enhanced by the sale of other crafts: first eastern pottery and then Hellenistic lamps manufactured on site. Among the Roman remains discovered in Magreta, as well as support structures and craft workshops, there is evidence of a place of worship. Connected to the fair was an important late Republican sanctuary discovered in Cittanova, near Via Aemilia, furthermore next to a factory of Hellenistic lamps. This organization of archaic type, characterized by the participation of local people and the complete autonomy of Campi Macri with respect to the nearby colony of Mutina, fell at the beginning of the Augustan period, when the economic and settlement rearrangement of the region overruled the requirements of the old market, bringing it quickly to the complete abandonment

L’instrumentum fittile inscriptum Latinum: proposta per una schedatura informatizzata a partire dalla documentazione modenese

Over the past few decades an intense discussion has taken place among scholars about the important role that instrumentum inscriptum plays in the reconstruction of various aspects of Roman social and economic history. One of the key issues is the definition of the criteria for publication and digital cataloguing of this class of materials, which includes various types of objects (amphorae, lamps, fine ware pottery, building materials, etc.) and inscriptions (stamps, tituli picti, graffiti ante or post cocturam). This paper presents a proposal for cataloguing fictile instrumentum inscriptum through a relational database which takes into account both the archaeological and epigraphical aspects of this kind of documents, while also paying particular attention to possible prosopographical comparisons with lapidary epigraphy. The collection of these data allows the user to pursue socio-economic research on the basis of different criteria, which can be variously combined: geographical, typological, prosopographical and chronological. Three case studies proved the effectiveness of this tool both for analytical and statistical studies

Gli strumenti giuridici della presenza romana in Cisalpina tra il I sec. a.C. e l’inizio del principato

La Cisalpina è stata da sempre per i Romani un campo di sperimentazione politico-istituzionale. Il presente articolo passa rapidamente in rassegna i principali strumenti giuridici usati da Roma per affermare la sua presenza nella regione tra il I sec. a.C. e il I sec. d. C. The Cisalpine Gaul was always for Romans a field to experiment new political-institutional solutions. The author of this article recalls the institutional means used by Rome to impose her supremacy on the region at the end of the republican period and at the beginning of Empire
