Reframing the Roman Economy
This book focuses on those features of the Roman economy that are less traceable in text and archaeology, and as a consequence remain largely underexplored in contemporary scholarship. By reincorporating, for the first time, these long-obscured practices in mainstream scholarly discourses, this book offers a more complete and balanced view of an economic system that for too long has mostly been studied through its macro-economic and large-scale – and thus archaeologically and textually omnipresent – aspects. The topic is approached in five thematic sections, covering unusual actors and perspectives, unusual places of production, exigent landscapes of exploitation, less-visible products and artefacts, and divergent views on emblematic economic spheres. To this purpose, the book brings together a select group of leading scholars and promising early career researchers in archaeology and ancient economic history, well positioned to steer this ill-developed but fundamental field of the Roman economy in promising new directions.
Fragments of Languages
The book deals with the concept of fragmentation as applied to languages and their documentation. It focuses in particular on the theoretical and methodological consequences of such a fragmentation for the linguistic analysis and interpretation of texts and, hence, for the reconstruction of languages. Furthermore, by adopting an innovative perspective, the book aims to test the application of the concept of fragmentation to languages which are not commonly included in the categories of ‘Corpussprache’, ‘Trümmersprache’, and ‘Restsprache’. This is the case with diachronic or diatopic varieties — of even well-known languages — which are only attested through a limited corpus of texts as well as with endangered languages. In this latter case, not only is the documentation fragmented, but the very linguistic competence of the speakers, due to the reduction of contexts of language use, interference phenomena with majority languages, and consequent presence of semi-speakers.

Northern Italy in the Roman World
"Using a wide range of epigraphic, archaeological, numismatic, and literary evidence, Northern Italy in the Roman World traces the evolution of Northern Italy from the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity and examines how the Roman state dramatically changed the region. This study on a much-neglected part of the Roman world uses northern Italy as a case study for examining the impact of the Roman empire on areas that it controlled. The book finds that while levels of Roman intervention varied considerably over time, the Roman state greatly influenced both local and transregional developments. This influence is shown to be pervasive and reflected in material ranging from loom weights to social networks and from ritual horse burials to the careers of writers"--
The Medieval Chantry in England
Chantries were religious institutions endowed with land, goods and money. At their heart was the performance of a daily mass for the spiritual benefit of their founders, and the souls of all faithful dead. To Church reformers, they exemplified some of medieval Catholicism’s most egregious errors; but to the orthodox they offered opportunities to influence what occurred in an unknowable afterlife. The eleven essays presented here lead the reader through the earliest manifestations of the chantry, the origins and development of ‘stone-cage’ chapels, royal patronage of commemorative art and architecture, the chantry in the late medieval parish, the provision of music and textiles, and a series of specific chantries created for William of Wykeham, Edmund Audley, Thomas Spring and Abbot Islip, to the eventual history and the cultural consequences of their suppression in the mid-16th century.
Studi di archeologia della X regio in ricordo di Michele Tombolani
Una raccolta di studi relativi a problematiche storico-archeologiche della X Regio, Venetia e Histria, che coprono un arco cronologico compreso tra la Preistoria e il Rinascimento. Il legame con l'ambito territoriale veneto, la varietà delle tematiche proposte, proiettate in un vasto orizzonte storico, riflettono l'ampiezza degli interessi e degli studi di Michele Tombolani, alla memoria del quale il volume è dedicato.
Celti d'Italia
Atti del convegno internazionale (Roma 2010) Gli obiettivi del Convegno hanno riguardato l’aggiornamento sulle numerose e importanti scoperte degli ultimi anni e la riflessione sui principali problemi ancora aperti tra i quali la cronologia e le forme della presenza celtica nella Penisola, l'identificazione delle tracce archeologiche di questa presenza, il rapporto con le popolazioni etrusche e italiche, l’elaborazione di una cronologia sufficientemente articolata e correlabile con quella transalpina.
Archeomusei. Musei archeologici in Italia. 2001-2011. Atti del Convengo (Adria, Museo Archeologico Nazionale, 21-22 giugno 2012)
La museologia archeologica italiana, grazie anche all’opera pionieristica di Franco Minissi e alla radicata sinergia tra architetti e archeologi, ha vissuto nella seconda metà del ’900 una stagione di straordinario sviluppo, testimoniata da alcuni dei più importanti musei archeologici europei. Con il nuovo millennio questa fase sperimentale si è tradotta in un’ampia azione di rinnovamento del panorama museale archeologico italiano. Alcuni esempi, che rappresentano l’attuale stato dell’arte, sono stati selezionati per il Convegno di Adria del 2012 tra le proposte di tutte le soprintendenze archeologiche italiane. Questi casi-studio sono illustrati secondo un rigoroso schema analitico e corredati da sintetiche schede descrittive.
