The Villas of the Eastern Adriatic and Ionian Coastlands
Chapter 17 The villas of the eastern Adriatic and Ionian coastlands William Bowden (University of Nottingham) Introduction The eastern coasts of the Adriatic and Ionian seas – the regions of Istria, Dalmatia and Epirus – saw early political and military intervention from Rome, ostensibly to combat Illyrian piracy but also to participate in the internecine struggles between Macedonia and its neighbors, sometimes at the request of one or other of the protagonists. Istria fell to Rome in 177 BCE and was ultimately incorporated into regio X (Venetia et Histria) of Italia by Augustus in 7 BCE. After 168 BCE, much of the coast to the south was effectively under Roman control, with merchant shipping able to operate under Roman protection.1 The Illyrian tribes, however, notably the Delmatae, continued to exist in periodic conflict with Rome until they were finally subdued by Octavian (who later took the name of Augustus) from 35-33 BCE. Further to the south, many of the tribes of Epirus sided with the Macedonians against Rome in the Third Macedonian War, consequently suffering significant reprisals at the hands of Aemilius Paullus in the aftermath in 167 BCE. Epirus was formally incorporated within the Roman province of Macedonia after 146 BCE. The founding of Roman colonies in Epirus (at Butrint, Photike, Dyrrhachium, and Byllis), Dalmatia (at Iader, Narona, Salona, Aequum, possibly Senia, and Epidaurum), and Istria (at Tergeste, Parentium, and Pula) is likely to have had a decisive effect on land-holding patterns because land was redistributed -
The Roman Necropolis in Šempeter: the History of Research
The Roman Necropolis in Šempeter: The History of Research IRENA LAZAR Twelve kilometres west of Celje lies Šempeter, well-known for having the finest preserved Roman monuments in Slovenia. This fertile valley attracted people even in prehistoric times, since the Amber Route (con- necting the Baltic regions rich in amber with the northern Adriatic mar- ket) passed that way. Prehistoric burial mounds are known in Griže and Šešče, while the prehistoric settlement connected with them is found in Langer.1 Prehistoric graves of the Hallstatt period were also discovered in Šempeter in the eastern part of the Roman necropolis, lying beneath the Roman graves.2 During the Roman period members of the civic aristocracy of Celeia owned estates in the valley and erected their tombs in Šempeter. The Ro- man settlement (vicus) was probably situated close by, next to the main road, but little is known of it. Roman remains have been recovered from the surroundings of Šempeter – e. g., from Zgornje Grušovlje, Podlog, Dobrteša vas, Novi Klošter and Gotovlje – but none of these sites has been systematically investigated.3 Nearby, there is also Ločica pri Polzeli, where, at the end of the 2nd century AD, the second Italic legion was stationed.4 Along the valley ran the main Roman road Aquileia–Emona– Celeia–Poetovio, which was partly researched during the excavation of the eastern part of the Šempeter necropolis and by means of topographical surveys.5 In Šempeter itself, a few hundred metres west of the excavated necropolis (near the local railway station), modest late Roman graves and 1 Lojze Bolta, Najstarejša zgodovina Spodnje Savinjske doline, Savinjski zbornik 1, 1959, 103–113: 108. -
Danilo Mazzoleni
Danilo Mazzoleni LE ISCRIZIONI MUSIVE CRISTIANE DELLA VENETIA ET HISTRIA Prima di soffermarsi sulle caratteristiche delle iscrizioni musive cristiane note nell'area della Venetia et Histria è bene rendersi conto della diffusione di questo particolare tipo di dediche nel territorio con l'aiuto di una cartina riassuntiva. In essa sono evidenziate tutte le località in cui tali epigrafi sono conosciute (fig. 1): da ovest Bre scia, Trento e Doss Trento, Verona, Vicenza, Padova, Jesolo, Con cordia, Aquileia, Grado, Zuglio, Invillino, S. Canzian d'Isonzo, Trie ste, Parenzo e Pola. Sono in tutto una quindicina di centri, che conservano tessellati attribuibili ad un arco cronologico compreso tra i primi decenni del IV e la fine del VI secolo (1), con una quantità di iscrizioni oscillante da un massimo di 7 4 a Grado e di 57 ad Aqui leia, ad un minimo di una o due a Padova, lnviilino, Trento {2) e Doss Trento, Zuglio. 1. Sulle dediche musive cristiane dei pavimenti della Venetia et Histria esiste un'eterogenea bibliografia comprendente numerosi titoli, anche se esse non sono state mai finora analizzate nel loro complesso. Si può osservare, comunque, che solo un numero limitato di contributi sui monumenti in questione si è occupato specificamente delle iscri zioni, mentre nella maggior parte dei casi le dediche sono state prese in considerazione solo in quanto facenti parte di determinati tessel lati, talora non sfruttando a pieno i dati offerti dall'esame di antro ponimi e formulari, oppure omettendo alcuni elementi essenziali, come l'indicazione dell'altezza delle lettere. (1) Per le datazioni dei pavimenti musivi si ritengono per lo più valide quelle proposte alcuni anni or sono da S. -

The Case of Veneto and Verona
Dario Calomino Processing coin finds data in Northern Italy: the case of Veneto and Verona ICOMON e-Proceedings (Utrecht, 2008) 3(2009), 55 - 62 Downloaded from: www.icomon.org 55 Processing coin finds data in Northern Italy: the case of Veneto and Verona Dario Calomino Università degli Studi di Verona [email protected] The aim of this paper is to present the numismatic research of the Centro Regionale di Catalogazione dei Beni Numismatici del Veneto, a programme of cataloguing and processing coin finds and numismatic collections data in the region of Veneto, supervised by Prof. Giovanni Gorini of the University of Padua. The project takes place with the cooperation of both municipal and state museums, gathering together all the coins found in the region or belonging to historical collections. The coin finds are published in the multi-volume series of the Ritrovamenti monetali di età romana in Veneto, and the entire numismatic heritage of the museums of Veneto is catalogued in a numismatic computer database that will be available on the regional website. This paper offers some examples of the filing scheme for both the volumes and the database, illustrating research tools that can be used to find a specimen or to process data for further studies. Some results of these projects are also shown in the paper. The publication plan for coin finds and numismatic research in the town of Verona is also illustrated, in particular the forthcoming volume covering the coins found in the historical centre. Since 1986 the Centro Regionale di Catalogazione dei Beni Numismatici del Veneto (Regional Centre for Cataloguing the Numismatic Heritage in Veneto) has promoted a wide programme of cataloguing and processing data concerning coin finds in the region of Veneto, supervised by Prof. -

After the administrative establishment of the province of Pannonia this road became the main communication route, in the west-east direction, between Italy and the eastern provinces, especially with Pannonia and Moesia. The start of the road, which we follow in the context of the ARCHEST project, was in Aquileia, then across Emona to Neviodunim, passing Aquae Iassae towards Siscia and onwards into Sirmium, Singidunum and Viminacium. Myth-shrouded beginnings: the Amber Road and the Argonauts The territory of modern Slovenia was already covered with various routes during prehistoric times. -
