Investigations on marbles and stones used in Augustean monuments of western alpine provinces
No full textScientific and stylistic analysis of some public buildings erected during the Augustan age in the most important
cities of the Italian side of Western Alps, Augusta Praetoria (Aosta) and Segusium (Susa, located in Turin
district) shows the importance awarded to building processes by ruling classes. The honorific arches dedicated
to emperor Augustus in both cities and the Porta Praetoria in Aosta, on one hand demonstrate the loyalty of the
citizens to Roman state, one the other imitate recent architectonic features devised in the Urbs. The use of local
materials in all these monuments, nevertheless, gives to them a peculiar character. The two arches devoted to
the Princeps, older then the Aostan city gate (Aostan Arch: about 20-10 B.C.; Arch of Susa: 9/8 B.C.), were
built entirely using stones that need final touches in plaster (puddingstone at Aosta, a kind of marble at Susa),
whereas the Porta Praetoria (about 10-20 A.D.) presents mouldings in imported marble (Carrara) and some
ribs in a grey local stone (Aymavilles marble, similar to the Bardiglio marble of Carrara district) imitating precious
foreign marbles. This fact is a consequence of a larger use of expensive materials in Roman official
architecture
