Grain Mills from the Late Roman Legionary Camp in Palmyra
The Late Antique grain mills from the Roman army camp in Palmyra (Syria) are the first archaeologically documented examples of Roman geared mills in the Levant. Their discovery in the 1980s by the Polish Expedition excavating the Camp of Diocletian provided a body of data that has proved to be of significance for students of both military architecture in Late Antiquity and ancient milling technology. This paper presents the evidence for an advanc…

Streets and houses of Roman Alexandria revisited
Alexandria Kom el-Dikka. Excavations and preservation work in the 2018 season
The 2018 season saw a continuation of research on Roman housing and urbanism in Alexandria. Excavations were focused in the central area of the Kom el-Dikka site, where some early to mid-Roman structures (2nd–3rd centuries AD) were explored. The uncovered part of the building seems to combine domestic and commercial functions. A couple of shops opening onto the street were identified. Evidence of artisanal production of glass beads was also recog…
Filling the gap
Despite a dramatic marginalisation of its political role, post-Zenobian Palmyra continued to be a large urban centre. Its peripheral location far from the main trade routes did not diminish its position as a significant consumption site in late antiquity. An extensive ceramic assemblage from Polish excavations in the north-western town district includes a sizeable group of commercial amphorae for transporting wine and olive oil (LRA 1–7), produce…
