Abstract
The present paper aims to analyse lamps of Tripolitanian production found in Aquileia during some recent research projects. Most of the investigated items have been discovered during emergency excavations held between 1968 and 1972 in order to create the modern drainage system of the city. Other samples from recent excavations of the so-called domus of Tito Macro in the former Cossar property have been found also. In the light of the above mentioned new data we take the oppurtunity to question ourselves about the presence of such lamps in the northern Adriatic area. Typological analysis of the finds and study based on distribution maps make possible to propose some hypotheses on trade patterns and routes that brought Tripolitanian lamps in Aquileia. Furthermore the role of Aquileia as entre-pôrt and part of the Adriatic distribution system for the inland settlements supply has been discussed.
Il presente contributo affronta lo studio di alcuni frammenti di lucerne di produzione tripolitana rinvenute ad Aquileia in occasione di studi recenti. Il nucleo proviene sia da vecchi scavi di emergenza (scavi per la realizzazione delle moderne fognature, 1968-1972), sia dai più recenti scavi della domus c.d. di Tito Macro nei Fondi ex Cossar. Alla luce dei nuovi dati si è colta l’occasione per tornare a interrogarsi circa la presenza di tali oggetti in area alto adriatica. L’analisi tipologica è stata accompagnata da un’indagine sulla diffusione di tale classe nell’intero bacino mediterraneo che ha consentito di formulare alcune ipotesi sui possibili percorsi commerciali che hanno portato questi oggetti ad Aquileia oltre ad evidenziare il ruolo redistributivo della città per i centri dell’entroterra.
