Researches in the Aenaria’s Harbour and epigraphic Report

Abstract

Current underwater excavations in the bay of  Cartaromana, at Ischia (Naples), are discovering submerged harbour’s structures (wooden formworks etc.) of the roman Aenaria and, in the inner side of them, a closed area probably reserved to military ships. From Cartaromana came the epitaph of a centurio classicus (CIL X, 6800). We present here a preliminary selection of inscriptions on various materials founded in the excavations: amphoras with stamps and tituli picti of the caesarian society (as C. Postumius Curtius); ceramics; lead and tin ingots, glandes plumbeae (against Cn. Pompeius).
