摘要:The paper deals with the Fine Wares found in the ager Firmanus within the Pisa South Picenum Survey Project. The assemblage is formed by 394 items belonging to various classes (thin-walled pottery, Italian sigillata, mid-Adriatic sigillata; coated coarse ware; African Red slip; Phocean Red slip), dated from the 2nd cent BC to the 7th cent. AD. The items have been found in 155 different Topographic units, mostly in the major sites interpreted as villas. Besides dating the context, these fine wares provide a high informative potential concerning many aspects of the ancient economy and social life. E.g. the Latial-Campanian thin-walled pottery dated 2nd cent. B.C. could be interpreted as evidence of the Romanization process in the Ferman countryside; the imported African and Phocean Red slip document the commercial activities run along the Adriatic coasts up to Late Antiquity.
