Il progetto di catalogazione TESS Lombardia : dati acquisiti e prospettive di ricerca
No full textThe digitalization of floor mosaics from western and eastern Lombardy – carried out in the TESS Project – has collected 1088 published occurrences. The most popular paving techniques are the mortar floor (447) and tessellatum (369), but also the opus sectile (81), with stone slab (87), brick (63) and cobblestone floors (14) are attested. Occasionally, the discovery of mosaic floors is only mentioned, quoting the site of the area of an urban centre, without providing any information on the technical and decorative aspects. Also this kind of information – vague and rather pointless for advancing any typological and iconographical consideration – evidences the presence of ancient structures in an area. The most widespread decoration is the geometric style, both in black and white, but also with a sober polychromy. Figural decorations are scarce and clustered in eastern and south-eastern Lombardy, but are attested also in the west. The modern borders of Lombardy do not reflect the Roman and Late Antique territorial organisation, when the area included part of Regio X, Venetia et Istria and XI, Transpadana: This factor must be taken in consideration during the analysis of technique and decoration – in term of patterns and organisation of the decorated space – in mosaics from the region. This paper aims at providing a synthetic analysis of the whole data collected, starting from the paving technique and decoration and considering the relationship between floor, paved space and architectural context, applying a chronological and topographic approach, shading light on aspects like the decorative repertoire, colour and design
Mosaico con province romane=Mosaic with Roman provinces
No full textAlong with other fragments now scattered in different museums worldwide, these three fragments belonged to the floor of a Roman villa in the ancient city of zeugma (today’s Belkis, Turkey). The mosaic consisted of a central panel featuring Poseidon while leading a chariot on a sea inhabited by marine creatures, and of a sumptuous outer frame, showing a strip of plant volutes with cupid hunters and another strip with pairs of sinusoids (an interlaced pattern design) with circles enclosing female busts, the personifications of the Roman provinces

Tessere palmirene=Palmyrene tokens
No full textThe group of “Palmyrene tokens” consists of 34 objects of carefully polished terracotta, many of them showing traces of red engobe. The different coloration of the material depends on the minerals contained in the clay. These objects were mass manufactured, by using two-valve moulds, and in most cases decorated by hand on both sides (only one object features one entirely smooth side). Tokens vary in shape, size, iconography, text; in fact, different shapes support various images, although some tend to be recurrent. The front side (recto) usually features the depiction of one or more priests; the back side (verso) bears different figures, including deities, symbols, scenes of offering
Inspection Activities on Archaeological Sites in Milan. The Case of Imperial Mausoleum
No full textThe project "Milano Archeologia" concerning the ancient remains of the city of Milan in Roman age was based on specific methods and tools, such as the collection of data through the previous archive research, and the feedback of information through inspections and then direct contact with monuments. A very interesting and significant case is the funerary complex area of “San Vittore al Corpo”, in which are also preserved the remains of an impressive Imperial Mausoleum. The curtain, that defines the space of the cemetery from the fourth Century AD, is kept in part below two modern buildings, while the remains of the Mausoleum are located below the present church of St. Victor. The analysis of the data collected allowed us to identify similarities and differences between the structures still visible, for example in the techniques adopted for the elevations or foundations, and it has provided the knowledge necessary to assume concrete solutions to protect and enhance this heritage
