Ceramica romana nella Puglia adriatica

As part of a complex project, co-funded for 2011-2012 by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Puglia on the subject ‘Indagini archeologiche a Egnazia: dallo scavo alla valorizzazione’ – focused on the city of Gnatia, where since 2001, with the scientific direction of Raffaella Cassano and coordination of C. Silvio Fioriello, held articulated archaeological investigations that are enabling us to reconstruct the plot urban and socio-economic of the city from the 'romanization' to the Early Medieval Age –, were organized a seminar and an exhibition dedicated to analysis of pottery in the Roman period in Adriatic Apulia. The goal is to reconstruct the dynamics of production and trade of ceramics in the context indicated between the third century B.C. and the beginning of the fourth century A.D.. For this period in fact is missing for Apulia an organic framework, being available only partial data and often uneven. For this reason were involved Officials of the Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici della Puglia, so make it known yet unpublished data, useful for the definition of this problem, as well as Scholars from other Universities and Italian Research Institutions, which can provide comparisons from other contexts of Adriatic Italy, useful for understanding the socio-economic and commercial landscape, in which the documentation gathered recently at Egnatia occurs and assumes significant historical significance
