Lead water pipes of Salona
Katja Marasović
Abstract
The water supply network within the ancient city of Salona
has not been thoroughly studied to date due to insufficient preservation.
The majority of the pipes were made of lead, which
has been plundered from this site for centuries. In an attempt
to shed light on this topic, this article presents a catalogue of
lead pipes from the collection of the Archaeological Museum
in Split. In addition to the preserved pipes, those mentioned in
inventory books and published works are also discussed, while
traces in Salona suggest the evidence of additional lead pipes.
Keywords
