Abstract

This paper treats 659 stamped tegulae from the Roman Antiquity collection of the Archaeological Museum Zadar. While the exact sites where many of these tegulae were found are not known, we know for a fact they were found in Zadar or in its surroundings. We have singled out here 42 different workshop stamps. An analysis has shown that most of the tegulae – as many as 80.25 percent – were imported from the workshops of Northern Adriatic. Predominant among them are the stamps from Pansiana imperial workshop. As for the locally produced tegulae, predominant are military stamps, mostly the ones of the XI Legion Claudia pia fidelis. The evidence presented in this work confirms the well documented existence of trade connections between Northern Adriatic and the province of Dalmatia.
