Etruscan and Roman roof-tiles

Wikander, Örjan LU (2025) In Opuscula 18. p.207-229
Abstract

The publications of the roof-tiles from Acquarossa, Poggio Civitate and San Giovenale have left a number of issues in need of further discussion. Besides three sections of special character (1, 4, 6) and two concentrated on tile dimensions (3, 5), the article centres around five questions of more general interest: contacts between the early Etruscan/Latial and Campanian terracotta industries (2), problems connected with the eaves (7), damage to and repairs of the roofs (8), manufacture and price of the tiles (9) and the socio-economic background of the diffusion and breakthrough of the tile-roof (10).*
