BEYOND VAGNARI
New themes in the Study of Roman South Italy

Descrizione

Il volume contiene gli Atti di una conferenza tenutasi ad Edimburgo nell’ottobre del 2012 in seguito alla pubblicazione di Vagnari. Il villaggio, l’artigianato, la proprietà imperiale / The village, the industries, the imperial property (Edipuglia 2011) nell’intento di esplorare temi che collocherebbero Vagnari in un contesto più ampio. Alcuni contributi presentano nuove evidenze da Vagnari e dal territorio circostante; altri sono incentrati sugli scavi e sulle indagini sul campo condotte in diverse parti dell’Italia centro meridionale che possono essere associate alle indagini a Vagnari; un ultimo gruppo si sofferma sul contesto storico e culturale: la “romanizzazione”, il declino dei Peuceti, lo sviluppo delle proprietà imperiali in Puglia, e l’ideologia dei possedimenti imperiali nonché il loro ruolo generale nel possesso terriero in Italia.
