Life histories of the dolia of Ostia
Ostia, the port city of ancient Rome, played an important role in Rome's maritime commerce. The ancient port city was outfitted with massive warehouses that stored various foods necessary to supply not only the imperial capital, but also the workers living and working in Ostia. Some of these warehouses featured large ceramic storage jars known as dolia (singular dolium) that could hold over one thousand liters. Although the massive jars were usef…
Dolia
Making dolia and dolium makers
Dolia were the largest type of pottery in the ancient world, capable of holding hundreds to as much as three thousand liters. Their shape and size facilitated wine fermentation, and also made them the most expensive and difficult type of pottery to produce. This paper discusses the production of dolia to explore the specialized skills, which consisted of both free and enslaved labor, necessary for the craft. Dolia were also produced alongside bri…
An Environmental and Climate History of the Roman Expansion in Italy
A first synthesis of available data for the period of Rome's expansion in Italy (about 400-29 b.c.e.) shows the role of climate and environment in early Roman imperialism. Although global indices suggest a warmer phase with relatively few short-term climate events occuring around the same time as the expansion, local data emphasize the highly variable timing and expression of these trends. This variability casts doubt on ideas of a unitary, histo…
Calculating dolium capacities and material use
In the ancient Mediterranean, large ceramic storage containers known as dolia, which ranged in capacity from 150 to over 1,000 liters, were important farm equipment for the storage of wine, olive oil, and other foods. Because they are often poorly preserved, little is known about how they were made, much less the scale of their production. This paper draws on data from Pompeii to discuss how mathematical modeling can help us estimate their capaci…
