Derelict, dilapidated buildings in various states of ruin have always been present in our built environment. Theoretical approaches to the issue of ruins within the field of architecture have been ...changing continuously in response to shifting social, political, economic, and cultural conditions. Although origins of the debates on ruins can be traced centuries back, the topic came into focus with renewed intensity following the mass destruction in the wake of World War II. This paper discusses relevant perspectives on the phenomenon of decay in architecture from the 1950s to the 2020s, and offers a critical synthesis of their diverse viewpoints, thus enabling further formulations of contemporary positions and design strategies concerning this increasingly significant subject matter.

Grobišče na Marofu pripada rimski naselbini na Igu, vikusu na upravnem območju kolonije Emone. Odkrili smo 27 žganih in en skeletni grob, datirani so od druge polovice 1. do konca 3. ali do 4. ...st. Večina grobov je bila močno poškodovanih ali izropanih. Grobne jame in pridatki se dobro ujemajo z drugimi grobišči na emonskem podeželju. Na jugozahodnem delu grobišča so ob poti stale verjetno tri obzidane grobne parcele. Raziskana je bila ena s štirimi žganimi grobovi. Na nekoliko ločenem, severovzhodnem delu so bile štiri skupine grobov, verjetno v okviru neobzidanih družinskih grobnih parcel. Trije razmeroma bogati moški grobovi severovzhodnega dela, iz druge polovice 1. ali prve polovice 2. st., so vsebovali nož in strgalo, ki ju morda lahko povezujemo s strojarstvom. Na podlagi razdelitve grobišča v dva dela in razlik v načinu pokopa se zdi, da bi lahko šlo za dve skupini prebivalstva.
Odkrili smo več faz ceste, ki je prečkala grobišče. Med koncem 4. in 6. st. so ob cesti skopali veliko jamo ter vanjo odvrgli cel nagrobnik in več delov nagrobnih spomenikov.
The results of the international collaboration of the three institutions from Austria, Italy and Slovenia (Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, Università degli studi di Udine and ...Znanstvenoraziskovalni center SAZU, Inštitut za arheologijo of Ljubljana) are being published in the Studia Alpium et Adriae series.New discoveries and the re-examination of old ones is offering new insights into the Roman army and the historical questions related to its presence and activity in the regions of the northern Adriatic and the eastern Alps. The first volume of Studia Alpium et Adriae contains the contributions of twenty-one authors from four countries (Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria) who present the results of their work conducted in recent years within different research groups and projects.
Significance Archaeological evidence from the Trieste area (Italy), revealed by airborne remote sensing and geophysical surveys, provides one of the earliest examples of Roman military ...fortifications. They are the only ones identified in Italy so far. Their origin is most likely related to the first year of the second Roman war against the Histri in 178 B.C., reported by Livy, but the sites were in use, perhaps not continuously, at least until the mid first century B.C. The main identified San Rocco military camp is the best candidate for the site of the first Trieste.
An interdisciplinary study of the archaeological landscape of the Trieste area (northeastern Italy), mainly based on airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR), ground penetrating radar (GPR), and archaeological surveys, has led to the discovery of an early Roman fortification system, composed of a big central camp (San Rocco) flanked by two minor forts. The most ancient archaeological findings, including a Greco–Italic amphora rim produced in Latium or Campania, provide a relative chronology for the first installation of the structures between the end of the third century B.C. and the first decades of the second century B.C. whereas other materials, such as Lamboglia 2 amphorae and a military footwear hobnail (type D of Alesia), indicate that they maintained a strategic role at least up to the mid first century B.C. According to archaeological data and literary sources, the sites were probably established in connection with the Roman conquest of the Istria peninsula in 178–177 B.C. They were in use, perhaps not continuously, at least until the foundation of Tergeste, the ancestor of Trieste, in the mid first century B.C. The San Rocco site, with its exceptional size and imposing fortifications, is the main known Roman evidence of the Trieste area during this phase and could correspond to the location of the first settlement of Tergeste preceding the colony foundation. This hypothesis would also be supported by literary sources that describe it as a phrourion (Strabo, V, 1, 9, C 215), a term used by ancient writers to designate the fortifications of the Roman army.
