The 2nd-century AD crisis in Altinum (Venetia, Northern Italy) A mixture of historiographical determinism and archaeological scarcity? Jonas Danckers Abstract Traditionally, the 2nd century AD in Roman Altinum (Northern Italy) has been described as a period of crisis. As a similar ‘commercial and agricultural’ setback has earlier been proposed for the whole Italian peninsula in general, this article evaluates the epistemological basis of this local variant. A historiographical research firstly contextualises the origins of the classical pan-Italic crisis idea. Starting from critiques on this influential concept, a new archaeological methodology for tracing a crisis in antiquity is proposed. Applying this approach to Altinum and the Venetia region, it can be argued that the alleged ‘2nd-century AD crisis’ for the town was not a reality but rather a mixture of historiographical determinism and archaeological scarcity.* INTRODUCTION favourable geographical position made it quickly an ideal place for interaction between the Venetian The Roman town of Altinum, situated at the north- people and the rest of the Adriatic.2 From the 2nd western edge of the lagoon of Venice (Northern century BC onwards, the involvement of Rome Italy), was one of the most important commercial within the region of Venetia initiated a complex hubs of the High Adriatic (figs 1-2).

As a conclusion does not stem directly from the data, probably other (non-archaeological) theories influenced its gene- sis. The first section of this article will therefore clarify the historiography of the influential pan- Italic ‘2nd-century AD crisis’ idea. Tracing the genealogy of the crisis theory will lead to a better understanding of the complex interplay between ideology, fragmentary written and archaeological sources in its making.12 In a second section cri- tiques on this traditional idea will make clear Fig. 2.

Il luogo della città fu abitato nella preistoria e protostoria e divenne città romana nella prima metà del I secolo AC. Essa era un crocevia fra due importanti strade : la Claudia Augusta e l’Annia1. La localizzazione approssimata della città era nota, non si conosceva però l’ubicazione delle costruzioni del suo interno, quali le mura e l’anfi teatro. Dal rilevamento di campagna erano state individuate solo tracce di muratura2. Solo di recente mediante, l’elaborazione di foto aeree, è stata defi nita l’estensione della città e le particolarità dell’insediamento3. Riportiamo qui (fi g. 1) l’immagine conclusiva di questa ricerca. Si nota in essa il perimetro delle mura e la traccia di un probabile corso d’acqua (che appare di colore grigio chiaro nella fi gura), che attraversava la città e era collegato con la laguna. Altinum nell’antichità era situata, come Ravenna, nella palude4. Tale situazione sembra si sia mantenuta fi no ai giorni nostri cioè fi no alla esecuzione delle opere di bonifi ca parziale della fi ne dell ‘800 poi generale del ‘900.

La costruzione viene riferita tra la seconda guerra Punica e la Cimbrica (201-101 a.C.). Molte percorrevano il territorio di Piove di Sacco, ovvero il territorio della Saccisica (che era a questo riguardo uno tra i più forniti del Padovano) e interessavano anche quello di Cavarzere e di Cona veneziana. Una delle principali strade di cui si è avuta notizia era la via Popilia o Popillia, che da Adria (da dove si congiungeva con Roma) correva in direzione Sud-Nord, probabilmente in linea retta. Fu costruita dal console romano Publius Popillius Lenate, figlio di un certo Quinto (rimasto in carica tra il 132 e il 131 a.C.). Ma c’erano anche altre strade minori. La via Popilia, proveniente da Rimini, attraversava Adria, proseguiva attraverso Cavarzere, il Foresto di Cona, Vallonga di Arzergrande e Sambruson per raggiungere Altino e Aquileia, unendosi alla via Annia. Era chiamata anche Romea, perché si congiungeva con la via Flaminia e portava a Roma. Da Adria si staccavano dalla Popilia delle vie collaterali che la collegavano con Este e Padova (quindi con Altinate e Aquileia). Sembra, in particolare, che la Popilia attraversasse Cavarzere nei pressi dei Dossi Vallieri, passando poi di lato a San Pietro d’Adige, in un sito denominato “Masenile” (in prossimità di Cavanella d’Adige), che trarrebbe così origine da “masegno”, macigno, pietra grigia, non dura quanto il marmo, per selciare (Boezio).

  • Via Annia Popilia, L’Antica Strada Consolare Romana
    Premessa Un viaggio a ritroso nel tempo lungo la Via Annia Popilia, l’antica strada consolare romana. E’ quello che ha coinvolto sette Istituti della provincia di Reggio Calabria nell’anno scolastico 2010/2011, e in primis il nostro, il Convitto Nazionale Campanella, nell’ambito del progetto “Viaggio attraverso le strade dell’antichità: la Via Annia Popilia”, sostenuto dall’Ufficio scolastico provinciale, alla luce dei risultati delle ricerche dell’architetto Vincenzo Spanò. Gli studenti, con entusiasmo e curiosità e muniti di ogni attrezzatura utile al reperimento di informazioni topografiche, hanno percorso per circa 9 Km l’antico tracciato da Croce di Taverna a Seminara, a piedi e ricercando i segni dell’antico percorso. Il presente lavoro intende proporre una passeggiata emozionale lungo il tracciato della Via Annia, attraverso le principali Stationes indicate dalle fonti e le località più significative toccate dalla Via, per stimolare il desiderio della ricerca e la passione della ricostruzione storica, nell’assoluta consapevolezza che molte sono le questioni ancora aperte sulla grande arteria e dunque sempre viva deve rimanere, nei giovani e negli adulti, la volontà della riscoperta e della conoscenza del nostro passato. Nell’augurio più sentito che ci possa essere una prosecuzione del progetto con il sostegno di tutte le Istituzioni, che possa rendere fruibile una così importante traccia storica del nostro territorio, il Convitto Campanella rievoca così la Via Annia…. 2 INDICE Premessa……………………………………........……...……...pag 2 Introduzione................................................................................pag. 4 I.

  • The Population of Cisalpine Gaul in the Time of Augustus1
    The Population of Cisalpine Gaul in the time of Augustus1 In order to put the arguments of this article into a realistic perspective, I want to start by making it clear that we do not know and will never know for certain how many people lived in Cisalpine Gaul during the late Republic and early Empire.2 In theory, then, this could be the shortest article on ancient demography ever written. The reason why I have nevertheless decided to devote a short piece to this seemingly unpromising topic is quite simply that there are, in my view, many interesting things to say about the population of Cisalpine Gaul that have never been said before. It is also my contention that even though the new considerations that will be put forward in this paper do not in any way prove a low-count interpretation of Italy’s demographic history to be correct, they at least highlight some difficulties in the high count that have not received the attention they clearly deserve. My attempt to shed new light on these issues will centre on the shape of the urban network and on the size of the aggregate urban population. I shall begin by looking at the physical size of the towns of Cisalpina and by examining some of the variables that are likely to have influenced the number of town-dwellers per hectare. My next step will be to discuss briefly the problem of urbanization rates. In theory, if it were possible for us to recover both the approximate number of town-dwellers (POPurb) and the overall urbanization rate (URB.RATE) for Cisalpina, the overall population of the North could be extrapolated from the urban population, using the following formula: POPtot = (100: URB.
