Between 2006 and 2008 the Soprintendenza Archeologia, belle arti e paesaggio per la città metropolitana di Bologna e per le province di MO, RE, FE carried out an excavation in the courtyard of Palazzo Legnani Pizzardi, which in Roman times was located in the first southern suburb of Bononia. As for the Roman period, a big hollow has been found, which probably belonged to the original defence system of the colony; afterwards, perhaps since the Augustan age, the hollow was filled with both ceramics and materials derived from the demolition of upmarket buildings. In particular, a considerable amount of amphorae has been found, 25 of them bearing stamps: one on Lamboglia 2, eight on Dressel 2–4, nine on Dressel 6A and seven on Dressel 6B amphorae. All these containers were produced in the Adriatic area, mainly in its northern part, and are mainly dated from the Augustan age to the Early Imperial age. In addition to that, a Dressel 7–11 amphora has been found, which bears a poorly preserved painted inscription mentioning the mur(ia) hisp(ana).
281 Rei CretariÆ RomanÆ FaVtorVm Ac ta 45, 2018 Gli scavi condotti tra il 2006 e il 2008 dalla Soprintendenza Archeologia, belle arti e paesaggio per la città metropolitana di Bologna e per le province di MO, RE, FE nell’area cortilizia di Palazzo Legnani Pizzardi, nel primo suburbio meridionale di Bononia, hanno portato alla luce, per l’età romana, una grande depressione che forse faceva parte dell’originario sistema difensivo della colonia, e che, probabilmente a partire dall’età augustea, venne colmata sia da materiale ceramico che da elementi derivanti da demolizioni di edifici anche di un certo pregio. In particolare, consistente è la presenza di anfore, tra le quali si annoverano un doppio bollo su Lamboglia 2, otto su Dressel 2–4, nove su Dressel 6A e sette su Dressel 6B. Tali marchi sono tutti riconducibili a manifatture adriatiche, principalmente settentrionali, e sono per lo più riferibili a un periodo compreso tra l’età augustea e la prima età imperiale. Ad essi si aggiunge un titulus pictus su un’anfora Dressel 7–11 che menziona la mur(ia) hisp(ana).

Abstract
Between 2006 and 2008 the Soprintendenza Archeologia, belle arti e paesaggio per la città metropolitana di Bologna e per le province di MO, RE, FE carried out an excavation in the courtyard of Palazzo Legnani Pizzardi, which in Roman times was located in the first southern suburb of Bononia. As for the Roman period, a big hollow has been found, which probably belonged to the original defence system of the colony; afterwards, perhaps since the Augustan age, the hollow was filled with both ceramics and materials derived from the demolition of upmarket buildings. In particular, a considerable amount of amphorae has been found, 25 of them bearing stamps: one on Lamboglia 2, eight on Dressel 2–4, nine on Dressel 6A and seven on Dressel 6B amphorae. All these containers were produced in the Adriatic area, mainly in its northern part, and are mainly dated from the Augustan age to the Early Imperial age. In addition to that, a Dressel 7–11 amphora has been found, which bears a poorly preserved painted inscription mentioning the mur(ia) hisp(ana).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
