Na prostoru med Alpami in Karpati, ki je v transportnem smislu notranje odlično povezan z reko Donavo in njenimi desnimi pritoki, hkrati pa s Sredozemljem povezan le z Donavo prek Črnega morja, je ...bilo v rimskem obdobju odprtih mnogo kamnolomov, od katerih jih je danes znanih in potrjenih razmeroma malo. Raziskave izdelkov iz kamna, odkritih v različnih delih tega območja, ki so pripadali številnim avtonomnim mestom in naseljem, so pokazale osnovni vzorec preskrbe mest z lokalnimi in regionalnimi viri, večfazno proizvodnjo izdelkov ter obstoj medprovincialne trgovine z marmornimi izdelki iz kamnoloma Gummern in travertinskimi izdelki iz kamnoloma Budakalász. Hkrati je bilo mogoče postaviti utemeljeno domnevo o tasoški (?) kiparski delavnici hadrijanskega časa, delujoči v oz. ob kamnolomu Gummern, ter nakazati rešitev starega vprašanja izvora t. i. noriško-panonske volute.
The paper presents a multi-method characterisation of the Roman quarry of the middle Lower Jurassic (Pliensbachian) limestone situated in the village of Podpeč, south of Ljubljana, and examples of ...the placement of stone products made from micritic, fine-grained, and oolithic facies into the known extent of the quarry. 23 m of the rock succession from the ancient quarry was exposed at the northern tip of the St. Ana Hill by archaeological trenching. Petrological, micropaleontological, mineralogical, geochemical, and isotopic analyses of carbon, oxygen, and strontium were performed in order to characterise the rocks exploited in the quarry. Additionally, a new detailed geological map of the wider Podpeč area was prepared, which defines in detail the lithostratigraphic units in the area. The recorded succession contains facies that also occur in the modern part of the quarry. Interpretation of the sedimentation environment is consistent with previous interpretations and occurred in an internally differentiated lagoon. The studied succession is characterised by δ13C isotope values ranging from -2.44 to +2.5 ‰; δ18O values ranging from -4.0 to -1.2 ‰; and 87Sr/86Sr values ranging from 0.707414 ‰ (SD 0.000003) to 0.707329 ‰ (SD 0.000012). The Sr isotope values can prove a decisive factor when studying the provenance of stone products, while δ13C and δ18O values can help narrow the place of extraction within the known extent of the Roman quarry at Podpeč. The high positive correlation of SiO2 with Al2O3, K2O and TiO2 recognised both in the logged succession and in the studied stone products indicates a low terrigenous input into the depositional area and further confirms the provenance determination. By applying a multi-method approach to the characterisation of the known extent of the ancient part of the Podpeč quarry, we have reliably determined the provenance of stone products that have their origin in the quarry and have successfully applied this approach to several stone products made of micritic, fine-grained and oolithic limestones.
The sepulchral monuments of Noricum and Pannonia dating to the Antonine - Severan period (and later), particularly the aediculae, are characterised by abundant mythological decoration. The central ...mythological scene of a more or less detailed mythological apparatus is one of the three key ingredients used in presenting the deceased or their families, the other two being the portraits and the inscription tablet (all of them placed on the front facade of the monument). The choice of the mythological scenes is guided by the two basic art themes found on Roman sepulchral monuments - death, consolation, and mourning, and, on the other hand, homage to the deceased and his virtues, or mourning and farewell. Both themes correspond to the topoi of funeral poetry and rhetoric. The choice of the individual myths reveals differences between the sarcophagi of Rome and the products of Noricum or Pannonia, as well as between the products of Noricum and of the Pannonian centres.
This book has come about as a result of the project 'Roman Funerary Monuments of South-Western Pannonia in their Material, Social, and Religious Context', unfolding between 2015 and 2018 in the ...Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts under the auspices of the Croatian Science Foundation, with B. Migotti as the project leader and M. Šašel Kos and I. Radman-Livaja as collaborators. 'Roman Funerary Monuments of South-Western Pannonia in their Material, Social, and Religious Context' examines around two hundred funerary monuments and fragments (stelai, sarcophagi, ash-chests, tituli, altars, medallions and buildings) from three Roman cities in the south-west part of the Roman province of Pannonia in the territory of north-west Croatia: colonia Siscia (Sisak) and municipia Andautonia (Ščitarjevo) and Aquae Balissae (Daruvar). A juxtaposition of the evidence from three administrative units of different dimensions and municipal profiles, and of unequal importance in the wider area, offered a good opportunity for a meaningful comparison of the main components for a reconstruction of material, social and cultural components of the three Romano-provincial communities. The components studied were: 1 – territorial scope of the individual cities; 2 – quantification of the monuments in terms of kinds and chronology; 3 – structural typology and iconography; 4 – social aspects of the monument use; 5 – ritual and religious aspects (incineration vs. inhumation, classical religion vs. Christianity); 6 – geo-archaeological aspect. The most valuable contributions have been achieved in the geo-archaeological field, as such research had never been carried out in the studied area before.
The unusual Roman sarcophagus of green volcaniclastic rock that was found in
Titel, a small town in Vojvodina (SRB), and is now kept in the Muzeul
National al Banatului, in Timi?oara (RO), caused ...considerable unease among
scholars in the past as it could not be convincingly connected with any of
the productions in Pannonia and Moesia Superior. Only Silvio Ferri, albeit a
long time ago, correctly identified its connection with the sarcophagus
production in Sirmium and with the sarcophagus of Asclepiodota in
particular, made of Dardagani limestone. Sarcophagi of volcaniclastic rock
have only been recorded in the region of Srem and its immediate vicinity,
and were all produced in Sirmium. The material most likely arrived there
from the south, quarried near the village of Rajici, ca 25 km west of
Domavia, in the valley of the River Drina. The structure and decoration of
the sarcophagus from Titel reveal it as essentially the type produced by the
workshops at Salona using models from Prokonessos. Having said that, its
decorative details reveal a more complex picture. The decoration of narrow
strips of plant motifs indicates a close relationship between the
sarcophagus workshops at Sirmium and the workshops active in the middle and
upper valley of the River Drina with its tributaries, with the centre at
Skelani (municipium Malvesiatium), which, in turn, had close ties with the
Salona production. The use of the Norico-Pannonian volute of Type 6 (after
Pochmarski) on the inscription panel frame of the sarcophagus from Titel
shows another area of influence - the travertine sarcophagus production of
Aquincum - on the appearance of the sarcophagi from Sirmium that freely use
these motifs (including Type 7) to form the frames of the inscription and
figural panels. Available evidence clearly shows that the sarcophagus from
Titel can be attributed to the Sirmium sarcophagus production of the 3rd
century, more precisely its second half.
Godine 1951. nedaleko od rimske kolonije Poetovio
(Ptuj, Slovenija), podno dvorca Borl/Ankenstein,
pronađena je kopija kolosalnog portreta rimskog cara
Lucija Vera. Kopija je izrađena u vapnencu, a ...original
potječe iz Acqua Traverse. Dugo se pretpostavljalo
kako je riječ o antičkoj skulpturi, ali temeljita ispitivanja
pokazala su da se tu zapravo radi o nedovršenoj
kopiji lica (maski) izvedenoj u prepoznatljivom stilu
gipsanih odljeva koji se koriste na privatnim akademijama
u Rimu i drugdje u Europi. Na površini lica
vidljivi su tragovi kopiranja, možda od punktirke.
Rad je visoke kvalitete i usporediv je s mramornim
portretima izrađenima u drugoj polovici 18. stoljeća
u Rimu, poglavito u Albacinijevoj radionici. Ispitivanja
su pokazala i da je za sada poznata najvjerojatnije
samo jedna antička replika (a ne serija) portreta Lucija
Vera tipa 4 u kolosalnoj varijanti iz Acqua Traverse.
