“…Other ARS D? productions are similar to the ceramic assemblage at Chimtou (e.g., Figure 15.1; see Von Rummel and Möller 2019) and do not compare with types described by Hayes (1972) or Bonifay (2004). The fracture is usually rough and coarse-grained and pale to orange-red.…”

“…The surface is usually covered with a thin, orange slip. Archaeometric analyses conducted by Claudio Capelli on Chimtou samples suggest Henchir Hamdoune as one possible production area (Von Rummel and Möller 2019, 199) – a similar origin might be postulated for vessels of this production found at Bulla Regia. There is evidence for late pottery production at Bulla Regia: kilns (no longer visible) were noted by Carton in both the north-east baths (Carton 1915, 185) and the baths of Julia Memmia which he putatively dated to the medieval period (Carton 1909, 583; 1922, 333).…”

This paper reports the preliminary results from three seasons of excavations in the Christian cemetery by the Tunisian-British Bulla Regia Archaeological Project. In 2017–2019, excavations in, and around, the Late Antique church in the western cemetery uncovered a complex funerary landscape with a variety of different tomb types, including mosaic caisson tombs, simple masonry tombs, amphora tombs, and earthen graves and multiple funerary mensae. The mosaics, inscriptions and finds (ceramics, glass, coins) studied in 2022 support a fourth to seventh century date for the main period of use of the cemetery.

The study of the ancient Mediterranean world has traditionally been a hotbed of ancestralist rivalries and competitive modern genealogies (nationalist and cosmopolitan, Christiano-centric and anti-Christian). This is especially true for what have beenfrom a European viewpointthe privileged cultures of Greece and Rome. No account of Roman religion can be free of centuries of layered debate on these issues: consciously or unconsciously, the field is a tangle of constantly outdated 'presentisms' deriving their authority from accounts of a special, shared and collective past. 1 But Roman religion has a very special place within these narratives: it is not Christianityit represents the past before the continuing Christian present, which Western scholarship has either upheld or detested since the Enlightenmentand it is not Greece, wherein the highest cultural and philosophical ideals of Europe were always vested. In no other field with which this book is concerned are the self-contradictions of a long history of varieties of investments more directly manifest, than in the subject of visual and material culture in relation to Roman religion.Let us begin, as histories of Roman religions never begin, with an object. Of all the types of object we have from the Classical past, perhaps none so typifies our sense of ancient religion as the altar (Figure 3.1). 2 Altars are everywhere, with an impressive spectrum of possible artistic embellishments, inscribed ancient languages and contextual settings. They impel us 1 For the classic philosophical account of 'presentism' in the writing of history ('all history is contemporary history'), see B.
