STUDII DE ISTORIE ECONOMICA.Indd 88 SIGILLIA PENTRU DECORAREA CERAMICII DIN PROVINCIA DACIA Simona Regep Vlascici Cuvinte cheie: sigillia, atelier local, ceramic. Key words: sigillia, local workshop, ceramics Abstract: The instruments for the decoration of the ceramics play a very important part in the identi cation of the pottery workshops. Most of these instruments are sigillia. They were discovered in the urban environment, at Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa (1), Apulum (2), Napoca (1), Potaissa (1), Porolissum (5), Romula (3). Such pieces are also present in civilian settlements near camps, such as Acidava-Enoeti (2), Cristeti (6) and in the rural settlement from Micsasa (2). Except the pieces from Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa and Porolissum, the other ones come from pottery workshops. The pieces from Porolissum are the only ones showing traces of usage. Rarely, sigillia appear in camps at Buciumi (1) and Iliua (1), but with no possibility to connect them to the production activity of the military craftsmen. Most of the stamps were made of clay, and two pieces of bone. They are carefully and meticulously executed. The decoration is very different: vegetal (leaves, rosettes), geometrical (lines, circles, points), zoomorphic (lion) or anthropomorphic motifs (Apollo, Medusa). In the present stage of research a differentiation between the stamps for terra sigillata and those for stamped pottery is impossible. Most of the times, both ceramic categories were made in the same workshop. Chronological, there is evidence of an early local production of terra sigillata and stamped pottery from the rst half of the II century, this production reaching its peak at the end of the same century and the beginning of the following one. Identi carea unor o cine ce atest producerea ceramicii romane pe teritoriul provinciei Dacia este oferit de descoperirile arheologice ale activitii acestor ateliere (cuptoare, ustensile, rebuturi etc.). Cercetri mai vechi i studii recente asupra meteugului olritului atest existena atelierelor locale în Dacia roman. Producia acestora este deosebit de variat cuprinzând ceramic de lux ori comun, opaie, statuete etc..

  • Map 22 Moesia Inferior Compiled by A.G
    Map 22 Moesia Inferior Compiled by A.G. Poulter, 1996 Introduction Reconstructing ancient topography and land-use in this region is exceedingly difficult. Although the courses of the Danube and its major left- and right-bank tributaries have changed little since antiquity, land reclamation and dredging to improve navigation along the Danube have substantially narrowed the river’s flow. They have also eliminated much of the marshland which existed between its channels and especially, but not exclusively, along its left bank. Here, the series of 1:200,000 maps produced by the Militärgeographische Institut (Vienna, 1940) has been used in preference to later cartography, since they provide a more reliable, if still tentative, guide to the landscape within the Danubian plain. Eastern Dacia and Scythia Minor are covered by TIR Romula (1969), which takes an optimistic view of the identification of ancient sites and roads. The western limit of Moesia Inferior is included in TIR Naissus (1976). Except for Poulter (1995), no recent detailed maps exist for settlement in the north Danubian plain, and none for northern Thrace. Two publications (Hoddinott 1975; Velkov 1977) remain the best authorities for Bulgaria from the classical to Late Roman periods. For Dacia (present day Romania), there is a useful and notably reliable source for military sites (Cătăniciu 1981), and another for civilian settlements (Tudor 1968). The Directory cites further bibliography for sites of exceptional importance where recent excavations have been carried out. It also registers uncertainty about the function of some sites (fort or settlement, for example). With notable exceptions (cf. Maddjarov 1990), the exact alignment of roads cannot be confidently determined.

  • Dacian Hand-Made Pottery Discovered in the Archaeological Site of Reșca-Romula
    DACIAN HAND-MADE POTTERY DISCOVERED IN THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF REȘCA-ROMULA Mircea NEGRU Abstract: The native pottery in Roman and Former Roman provinces is still a less studied subject. Even when the fragments of indigenous pottery vessels are sometimes discovered, they are not so spectacular to be published in time as the other archaeological artefacts from Roman and Late Roman Period. This article highlights the existence and relevance of a small lot of Dacian pottery fort to understanding of late of 3rd century AD and 4th century AD in Roman and then former Roman Province of Dacia. Keywords: Roman, Romula, Dacian, hand-made pottery, archaeological artefacts. INTRODUCTION Pottery of local pre-Roman tradition is a constant presence found in most European provinces of the Roman Empire. We can mention here the pottery of pre- Roman tradition discovered in Moesia Inferior1, Moesia Superior2, Pannonia3, Noricum4, Gallia Belgica5, Britannia6 and in other Roman provinces. Assoc.

  • Stamped Building Materials Discovered at Reşca-Romula
    STAMPED BUILDING MATERIALS DISCOVERED AT REŞCA-ROMULA MIRCEA NEGRU* Introduction Bricks were a widespread material in constructions in the Roman Empire, especially since the time of Augustus, when they began to be burnt, which greatly increased their resistance to changes in climate and temperature. The lack of stone and the perishability of wood or unfired clay in Romula, led to the development of an industry of ceramic building materials, bricks and tiles, in particular. In the 2nd–3rd centuries AD in the Roman world, the technology of producing good quality bricks and tiles had been already perfected as a result of centuries of experience. Taking the volume and weight of these materials into account, they could not have been brought from great distances. On the other hand, the raw material was sufficient near most urban centers.1 The systematic excavations undertaken at Romula in the northern sector, led to the identification and research of the largest ceramic production center in the province of Dacia (Inferior) Malvensis. Among the ceramic production workshops were also those in which bricks, tiles and other building materials were manufactured.2 Some of the bricks and tiles produced at Romula bear the stamps of military or civilian producers. In this article we aim to present a batch of stamped bricks and tiles, discovered between 2013–2018 on the territory of Reşca village in Dobrosloveni commune, Olt County, in two different locations: in the Central Fortification, and in the south-eastern part of the Roman town of Romula, in the spot located in the actual Severus street, no.

  • Map 21 Dacia-Moesia Compiled by JJ Wilkes, 1996
    Map 21 Dacia-Moesia Compiled by J.J. Wilkes, 1996 Introduction The map is centered on the Carpathian basin, traversed by the middle course of the Danube, Europe’s greatest river. The sandy wastes of the great Hungarian plain (Alföld), once an inland sea and still marshy in the south, are bounded on the west by the river and on the east by the mountains and high plains of Romanian Transylvania (Dacia). Further south, the rolling hills and wooded valleys of Serbia lie between the mountains of Bosnia and Montenegro to the west and the Bulgarian Stara Planina (Balkan Mts.) and Rhodope range (Map 51 C1) to the east. The plain has a continental climate of cold winters and short hot summers. South of the Danube the climate is milder, though snow and seasonal floods regularly impede movement. The Serbian plain and tributary valleys support cereal cultivation, but the region also has rich mineral deposits, gold, iron ore, silver and lead. Gold and iron ore are also present in western Transylvania. In the Vács (Waitzen) gorge (B2, north of Aquincum) the Danube bends from an eastward to a southward course and flows 230 miles to a confluence with the Dravus (modern Drava). It then continues south-east for 220 miles, during which it receives the Pathissus (Tisza), which drains the Hungarian plain and–through its major tributaries–Transylvania. After confluences first with the Savus at Singidunum (Belgrade), and then with the Margus, the Danube next enters a succession of gorges (Djerdap), where the stream is in places narrowed to barely 500 ft.

  • Tactics, Strategies and Fighting Specific of the Cohortes Equitatae in Roman Dacia
    Near and Beyond the Roman Frontier. Proceedings of a colloquim held in Târgovişte, 16–17 october 2008, Bucureşti, 2009, p. 329–338 TACTICS, STRATEGIES AND FIGHTING SPECIFIC OF THE COHORTES EQUITATAE IN ROMAN DACIA Petru Ureche Tactici, strategii şi specific de luptă al cohortelor equitate în Dacia Romană Armata romană este renumită pentru abilitatea de a evolua în funcţie de schimbările cerinţelor politice şi militare ale perioadei imperiale şi a se adapta condiţiilor locale în scopul de a înfrânge aproape orice oponent. Romanii au înţeles că legiunile nu erau cele mai utile trupe în operaţiuni care necesitau forţe care se deplasează rapid sau în lupte pe teren dificil sau muntos, acestea fiind mult mai potrivite pentru asedii şi lupte plănuite. Astfel, în conflictele la scară mică şi pentru menţinerea securităţii interne şi de frontieră, flexibilitatea tactică oferită de trupele auxiliare s–a dovedit extrem de utilă. Acest studiu prezintă şi analizează organizarea şi tacticile utilizate de cohortele equitate – trupe mixte de infanterie şi cavalerie, cu o privire specială asupra celor care au fost prezente şi în Dacia. Analiza s–a făcut atât din punctul de vedere al specificului de luptă al populaţiilor care alcătuiau cohortele equitate, cât şi din cel al locului în care aceste trupe au fost cantonate. Key words: mounted cohorts, tactics, fighting particularities. This study presents and analyses the style and fighting tactics tackled by the cohortes equitatae1 of the Roman army, with special attention to those that were garrisoned in Dacia, as well. The purpose of the paper is to broach this subject from the point of view of the populations that enter the structure of these troops and of the place the unit was quartered2.

  • Castra Traiana
    Cercetări arheologice, nr. XIII, 2006, p. 231-238 CERAMICĂ DE TIP TERRA SIGILLATA DESCOPERITĂ ÎN FORTIFICAŢII ROMANE DIN DACIA (INFERIOR) MALVENSIS Mircea Negru, Alexandru Bădescu, Romeo Avram POTTERY OF TERRA SIGILLATA TYPE DISCOVERED IN ROMAN FORTS OF DACIA (INFERIOR) MALVENSIS Abstract In the archaeological research that carried out in the last decades inside the Roman forts of Dacia (Inferior) Malvensis there were discovered some fragments of terra sigillata vessels. In this article, we present a small group of this kind of pottery found in the Central Fort of Romula and the castrum from Castra Traiana. The archaeological excavations belong to Cristian Vlădescu, Romeo Avram and Lucian Amon. Types of vessels The present terra sigillata fragments belong to Dragendorf 37 (nos. 3-4, 6-8) and Dragendorf 46 (nos. 1-2). The rest of the fragments are from the middle part of the vessels that cannot be certainly identified as shape. Pottery workshops Lezoux group (nos. 1-6, 9) Some vessels made in this group are of Dragendorf 37 type and they have been decorated in Paternus II (nos. 4), Paternus II-III (no. 3) and Cinnamus (no. 5) styles. Other ones could be produced at Martres-de-Veyre (nos. 1-2). The terra sigillata workshops from Martres-de-Veyre were dated in the 2nd century AD, and those with Cinnamus, Paternus II and Paternus II-III decoration were produced between 140 and 195 AD. Rheinzabern group (nos. 7-8, 10-12) Some fragments belong to Dragendorf 37 type (nos. 7-8). The other ones are from the middle part of the vessels that cannot be certainly identified as shape.
