La circolazione del marmo nell’Adriatico durante la tarda Antichità

Abstract: All'incirca trent'anni fa, John Clayton Fant ha definito il commercio romano del marmo "an improbabile phenomenon" 1 . È noto, infatti, che nell'Antichità il trasporto su lunghe distanze della pietra richiedesse considerevoli investimenti economici e logistici, risultando irrazionale in una regione come il Mediterraneo, dove materiali lapidei di buona qualità sono disponibili pressoché ovunque.

“…Es bien conocida la llegada de sarcófagos de producción romana a la península Ibérica, en marmor de Luni-Carrara, Proconeso y Paros, con cierta asiduidad, al menos, hasta bien entrado el siglo IV (Vidal 2018 y bibliografía). Por otro lado, también es sobradamente conocido que la distribución por Occidente del marmor Proconeso debió estar bastante activa, al menos hasta finales del siglo VI y, probablemente, después (Marano 2016…”

Por otro lado, también es sobradamente conocido que la distribución por Occidente del marmor Proconeso debió estar bastante activa, al menos hasta finales del siglo VI y, probablemente, después (Marano 2016). En esta línea, son conocidas algunas piezas en este material en la península Ibérica como por ejemplo la placa de Saamasas (Lugo), de finales del siglo VI (Vidal 2005: 225)…”
