Abstract
The excavation (recently 2013-2014 promoted by the Capitoline Superintendency to Cultural Heritage) in the north-eastern sector of the Circus maximus hemicycle has allowed deeper investigation into the structure and function of the fornices XIII, XII, XI, X and VI of the Palatine sector, further clarifying the tripartite spaztial arrangement, architecture and function. Significant to the study was the use of 3D photogrammetry. Given the wealth of ceramic materials found, a case study has been presented concerning the XII fornix, of wich the different phases of use have been reconstructed starting from the pottery found there. Thanks to this excavation it is possible to understand wich classes and types of ceramics were circulated in this area and point out chronologically, some crucial moments in the life of this fornix, especially those relating to its commercial vocation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
