This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sigillata africana è una classe di ceramica fine, da mensa, di qualità più o meno raffinata, coperta interamente o in parte da vernice di colore rosso-arancione, più o meno liscia e brillante, che, decorata in vario modo, ha ampia diffusione dal I al VIII sec. d.C. in tutto il Mediterraneo e soprattutto lungo le aree costiere. I materiali africani sono veicolati per mare e ritenuti "merce di accompagnamento" delle anfore e del loro contenuto (l'olio africano). La sigillata africana C proviene dalla regione della Bizacena della Tunisia centro-orientale e si diffonde sporadicamente all'inizio del III sec. d.C. per essere poi sostituita dalla produzione in sigillata D. Tra la fine del III e gli inizi del IV secolo d.C. si assiste ad una ripresa delle officine della Tunisia settentrionale intorno all'area dell'antica Cartagine, che coincide con il maggior sviluppo della produzione in sigillata africana D tanto che proprio in questo momento si registra la massima diffusione della cultura figurativa africana nel Mediterraneo occidentale. A partire dalla seconda metà del IV sec. d.C. però, comincia un primo periodo di decadenza che porta, dapprima, ad una provincializzazione delle produzioni e, poi, ad un loro lento e costante declino a favore di forme di qualità, argilla e vernice sempre più scadenti. La classe dimostra una certa standardizzazione dei tipi e dunque l'esistenza di una tradizione ben consolidata, testimoniata dall'elevatissimo numero di produzioni. La dominazione vandala sembra comportare un declino delle esportazioni verso l'Oriente, dove la sigillata D è sostituita dalle ceramiche pergamene e cipriote mentre in Italia Meridionale la diffusione di tale ceramica riprende con la riconquista bizantina. La sua definitiva scomparsa si deve invece all'invasione araba dell'Africa (647-698 d.C.) che comporta la rottura dell'asse Cartagine-Costantinopoli e, di fatto, interrompe l'esportazione della classe.

Download or read book Framing the Early Middle Ages written by Chris Wickham and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 1019 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman empire tends to be seen as a whole whereas the early middle ages tends to be seen as a collection of regional histories, roughly corresponding to the land-areas of modern nation states. As a result, early medieval history is much more fragmented, and there have been few convincing syntheses of socio-economic change in the post-Roman world since the 1930s. In recent decades, the rise of early medieval archaeology has also transformed our source-base, but this has not been adequately integrated into analyses of documentary history in almost any country. In Framing the Early Middle Ages Chris Wickham combines documentary and archaeological evidence to create a comparative history of the period 400-800. His analysis embraces each of the regions of the late Roman and immediately post-Roman world, from Denmark to Egypt. The book concentrates on classic socio-economic themes, state finance, the wealth and identity of the aristocracy, estate management, peasant society, rural settlement, cities, and exchange. These give only a partial picture of the period, but they frame and explain other developments. Earlier syntheses have taken the development of a single region as 'typical', with divergent developments presented as exceptions. This book takes all different developments as typical, and aims to construct a synthesis based on a better understanding of difference and the reasons for it.

Download or read book A Fragmented History written by Gijs Willem Tol and published by Barkhuis. This book was released on 2012 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents four methodological case studies that elaborate on the results of two field survey projects (the Astura and Nettuno surveys) that were carried out by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology (GIA). The case studies aim at investigating biasing factors that limit the analytical and comparative value of data from archaeological survey in general using these two projects as a suitable testing ground. Both surveys, carried out between 2003 and 2005, fell within the ambit of the Pontine Region Project (PRP), a long-term research program aimed at the diachronic archaeological investigation of the various landscape units forming this region. They covered two contiguous areas, situated on the Tyrrhenian seaboard, approximately 60 kilometres south of Rome. The study area comprises the communal area of the modern town of Nettuno, as well as the lower valleys of the Astura and Moscarello rivers (see fig. 0.1).2 As such it incorporates parts of the hinterland of the ancient towns of Antium and Satricum. In chronological terms this dissertation considers a time-span of 1300 years, from the 6th century BC to the 7th century AD.

Book excerpt: La terra sigillata italica proveniente dal Quartiere Ellenistico-Romano di Agrigento costituisce un ricco complesso di attestazioni, che attraverso l'esame delle forme, delle decorazioni e soprattutto dei bolli, consente di ricostruire tempi e modi della circolazione del vasellame fine da mensa italico tra la media età augustea e l'età flavia su un sito urbano, che per la sua rilevanza rappresenta un campione estremamente significativo della caratterizzazione del mercato della Sicilia centro-meridionale rispetto al resto dell'isola e dei suoi rapporti con i centri di produzione e con le correnti di scambio che attraversano il Mediterraneo. Antonella Polito, specializzata in archeologia classica presso l'Università degli Studi di Catania con tesi su La ceramica sigillata africana da Agrigento e dal territorio, dottore di ricerca in archeologia e storia dell'arte greca e romana presso l'Università degli Studi di Messina con tesi su La terra sigillata italica liscia dalle case romane in contrada San Nicola di Agrigento, ha seguito numerose campagne di scavo in Sicilia in collaborazione con la Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali di Agrigento e in Nord Africa come componente della missione archeologica dell'Università di Messina a Leptis Magna (Libia).

Download or read book Naples from Roman Town to City state written by Paul R. Arthur and published by British School at Rome. This book was released on 2002 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Paul Arthur provides an important new synthesis of the archaeology and history of the Italian city of Naples, from the late Roman to the early Medieval period. Arthur considers the standard criteria for the definition of the Roman and the Medieval 'town' in order to demonstrate how Naples maintained the characteristics of an urban settlement through the so-called Dark Ages, and how this put it in a position to participate in the regeneration of Mediterranean trade at the beginning of the Medieval period. He looks at the evidence for public and private contributions to the changing physical environment of Naples, including the harbour facilities, defences, street plans, public buildings, the water supply, private houses and gardens, and cemeteries. He considers the role of the Christian Church in the ongoing development of the city, looking at the organization and layout of churches, monasteries and convents, and their relationship to earlier pagan buildings. He examines evidence for rural settlement, agricultural activity and urban manufacturing in the low years of the post-Roman period, and Naples' strategic position vis-à-vis important maritime trade routes at the beginning of the Medieval period (and as a major stopover point for pilgrims to and from the holy land). Arthur argues that geographical conditions and traditional links with the Near East guaranteed Naples a crucial level of cultural development through the 2nd half of the 1st millennium AD and facilitated the rise of Naples to the position of a major Mediterranean power, a position that it was to retain up until the unification of Italy.
