Bright red 'terra sigillata' pots dating to the first three centuries CE can be found throughout the Western Roman provinces. The pots' widespread distribution and recognisability make them key evidence in the effort to reconstruct the Roman Empire's economy and society. Drawing on recent ideas in material culture, this book asks a radically new question: what was it about the pots themselves that allowed them to travel so widely and be integrated so quickly into a range of contexts and practices? To answer this question, Van Oyen offers a fresh analysis in which objects are no longer passive props, but rather they actively shape historical trajectories

La Terra Sigillata, una de las clases cerámicas romanas por excelencia, se perfila como uno de los elementos de cultura material que más interés ha generado en el ámbito científico debido a aspectos como su riqueza decorativa, su frecuente asociación a epigrafía y su valor cronológico como elemento datante de gran fiabilidad. Sin embargo, a menudo se deja de lado la vinculación –casi indisociable– que este tipo cerámico posee en sus orígenes con el contexto político de la época y, más concretamente, con los procesos de romanización, siendo el caso hispano un referente ejemplar al respecto. Partiendo de estas bases, pretendemos con esta comunicación revalorizar el papel de la Terra Sigillata en la cristalización de los procesos romanizadores que el occidente mediterráneo vivió durante cambio de era. ; Terra Sigillata is one of the most important roman fine pottery groups per excellence.

Introduction The development of the Roman Limes has always been thought to have been a corner-stone in establishing chronologies of various finds-groups in archaeology. The consecutive construction of Limes sections, each time deeper into enemy territory, should theoretically provide a solid framework for dating artefacts found at the individual military camps in each segment, but the precise chronological time intervals of the occupation phases has remained until now very sketchy. Thus finds from Limes sections have been widely used to date the same sort of finds found elsewhere which do not have dated contexts. However, since there are only very few historical dates attached to the Limes sections, many military camps on the Limes have only been dated by comparing material from the few dated military Limes camps, which causes a circular reasoning. The time intervals of Limes sections such as those of `Hadrian's Wall` or the German Wetterau-Limes are thus suffering from temporal vagueness within the underlying dating mechanisms and a lack of absolute dates. In order to generate knowledge about the underlying processes of dealing with vagueness in these time intervals, visualisation of the underlying reasoning process is required in order to outline the dimension of the temporal vagueness involved. The increasing usage of semantics and graph technologies in the digital humanities offers methodologies to tackle these complicated archaeological issues. Low-threshold online available tools dealing with semantic based methods and algorithms could help the scientific community to explore the possibilities of these emerging techniques. Methods and Materials In order to handle the problem of solving and visualising vagueness within the sequences of relative dating intervals, we use the following methods: first we start with a 3D distance calculation of given Correspondence Analysis (CA) results, in which the quantitative relations between finds and proposed time intervals are set out. Following the `horseshoe paradigm`, ...

La presenza della sigillata gallica nella Transpadana occidentale è cosa nota da tempo, per lo meno agli studiosi locali, ma l'entità del fenomeno e il suo significato sul piano economico e delle relazioni commerciali sono ancora oggi molto poco evidenti a livello nazionale e internazionale. Il rinvenimento di un notevole quantitativo di sigillata gallica nello scavo di alcune porzioni di discarica addossate alle mura di cinta della Torino romana ha dato l'avvio a uno studio che mette in luce come la sigillata gallica nella Cisalpina non sia affatto una presenza sporadica, né probabilmente il risultato di un approvvigionamento destinato a soddisfare solo i bisogni dei ceti più abbienti, ma costituisca invece un indicatore economico piuttosto importante. Il volume prende in esame più di 500 frammenti, per lo più inediti, di sigillata prodotta nella Gallia meridionale e centrale tra l'età claudia e il III secolo, tutti rinvenuti nella Cisalpina occidentale, e passa in rassegna i dati editi per l'area nordorientale. Lo scopo principale, oltre a quello di far emergere la presenza non marginale di queste produzioni nel nord Italia, è la ricostruzione di una via cisalpina per il trasporto di merci diverse, molte delle quali deperibili, da ovest verso est. Fossili guida nella ricerca sono le ceramiche di Lezoux e Banassac, prodotti che non avevano una rete di distribuzione mediterranea, ma si concentravano nell'Europa continentale e in Britannia. Definire i loro itinerari permette di ipotizzare dinamiche commerciali sulle lunghe distanze, in un mercato che non aveva le caratteristiche e i numeri di quello Urbano o di quello militare, e di assegnare alla Gallia Cisalpina un ruolo di qualche importanza come via meridionale di transito e di connessione tra l'area transalpina occidentale e quella orientale

Das römische Donaukastell Rißtissen Das römische Kastell Rißtissen liegt rund 20 km westlich von Ulm. Es ist Bestandteil des sogenannten Donaulimes, einer Kastellkette, die zwischen ca. 40/50 und 100 n. Chr. von der römischen Armee besetzt war und die von Hüfingen im Westen bis Oberstimm im Osten reicht. Während die meisten Lager dieser Kastelllinie nur unzureichend bekannt sind, wurden im Kastell Rißtissen von 1912-1914, 1959/60 und 1967 großflächige Ausgrabungen durchgeführt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die Befunde und das gesamte Fundmaterial dieser Grabungen vollständig vorgelegt und ausgewertet, wobei die Dokumentation der Altgrabungen zwangsläufig der Detailinterpretation Grenzen setzt. Trotz gewisser Einschränkungen konnte so die Baugeschichte des Kastells, seine Funktion im Rahmen der militärischen Okkupation Süddeutschlands und seine genaue Datierung geklärt werden. Das Kastell wurde um 50 n. Chr. gegründet und diente vor allem als Sammel- und Umschlagstation des römischen Nachschubs, worauf mehrere große Magazingebäude hinweisen. Nach den gefundenen Militaria waren hier neben Legionssoldaten auch berittene Hilfstruppen stationiert. Diese 1. Kastellphase endete mit einem Brand, der wahrscheinlich mit den Unruhen des Jahres 69/70 n. Chr. zusammenhängt. Teile des Kastells wurden dabei zerstört und nur kurze Zeit später wiedererrichtet. Um 80 n. Chr. folgten dann weitere Umbaumaßnahmen, wobei besonders das Stabsgebäude komplett neu errichtet wurde. Diese Baumaßnahmen stehen im Kontext größerer Umstrukturierungen der römischen Armee im gesamten süddeutschen Raum. Ende des 1./Anfang des 2. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. wurden dann alle Militärlager an der Donau geräumt und durch eine neue Kastellkette am Neckar und auf der Schwäbischen Alb ersetzt. Im Kastell Rißtissen errichtete die Armee um 100 n. Chr. unter Einbeziehung älterer Kastellbauten nochmals ein großes Magazin, das wohl im Zusammenhang mit den Dakerkriegen des Kaisers Traian zu sehen ist. Spätestens 110 n. Chr. wurde der Militärstandort Rißtissen dann endgültig von der römischen Armee aufgegeben. ; The Roman Danube fort Rißtissen The Roman fort of Rißtissen lies about 20 km to the west of Ulm. It is part of the so-called Danube Limes, which was occupied by the Roman army between 40/50 and 100 A.D reaching from Hüfingen in the west to Oberstimm in the east. While most forts oft he Danube Limes are known only insufficiently, large scale excavations were carried out in the fort Rißtissen between 1912 and 1914, 1959 and 1960 and in 1967. In this study the features and the whole archaeological material of these excavations are presented and evaluated. The old excavations - due to their age – allow only a certain depth of interpretation. In spite of certain restrictions, the history of the fort's construction, its function within the scope of the military occupation of South Germany and its exact date could be clarified. The fort was founded around 50 A.D. and served above all as a supply station for the Roman army, which several big storage buildings and granaries attest to. The excavated Militaria show that legionary soldiers and mounted auxiliary troops were stationed here. This first phase of the fort ended with a fire, which seems to be connected to the riots of the year 69/70 A.D. Parts of the fort were destroyed, but rebuilt after just a short time. Then about 80 A.D. other rebuilding measures followed and the Principia – in particular - were newly constructed. These building measures must be seen in the broad context of the major reorganisation of the Roman army throughout the Southern German area. At the end of 1st and at the beginning of the 2nd century A.D. all Roman forts oft he Danube Limes were removed and substituted by new forts along the Neckar and on the Swabian Alb. At about 100 A.D. the army built yet another big storage building In Rißtissen using the existing fort buildings to some extent. The historical context are probably the Dacian Wars of emperor Trajan. Not later than 110 A.D. the military fortification of Rißtissen was finally given up by the Roman army.
