  • New radiocarbon dates from early medieval cemeteries in central and northern Italy

    Open AccessCandace Rice, Candace M Rice et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2026

    This paper presents 56 AMS radiocarbon dates from three early medieval sites in Italy: nine from the Roman Villa of Vacone in Vacone (RI), Lazio, 29 from the Roman Villa of Selvicciola in Ischia di Castro (VT), Lazio, and 18 from the necropolis of Povegliano Veronese (VR), Veneto. These results more than double the number of previously published radiocarbon dates from early medieval Italy and are therefore a substantial contribution to the absolu…

  • Comparative advantage, specialized viticulture, and the economic development of Gallia Narbonensis

    Open AccessCandace RiceARTICLEJournal of Roman Archaeology2023Cited by: 1References: 29

    This paper explores the processes of specialized viticulture in the province of Gallia Narbonensis over the first three centuries CE and brings this evidence to bear on broader economic questions, particularly as they relate to the effects of connectivity and globalization on Roman economic development. Evidence from small farms to sprawling villas suggests that specialized production stretched across multiple strata of society in Narbonensis, fr…

  • Digital Vacone

    Open AccessMatthew Notarian, Gabriella Carpentiero et al.ARTICLEStudies in Digital Heritage2020

    Between 2016 and 2018, excavations at the Roman villa of Vacone, carried out by the Upper Sabina Tiberina Project, transitioned to completely digital recording practices. The methodological shift was accompanied by a three-year campaign of backfill removal and cleaning, which allowed most of the villa’s extant architecture and décor uncovered since 2012 to be digitized. Moreover, a new documentation protocol was established that employs photogram…

  • Ship Losses and the Growth of Roman Harbour Infrastructure

    Damian Robinson, Candace Rice et al.ARTICLEJournal of Mediterranean…2020Cited by: 1

    This study analyses regional trajectories in Mediterranean coastal developments between ca. 200 bc and ad 200, the time of a peak in maritime activities as recorded archaeologically through shipwreck evidence. The aim is to test the proposition that the development of harbour infrastructure should be followed by a decline in shipwrecks around coastal areas. The inference is that, economically speaking, investing in harbours would result in faster…

  • Mercantile Specialization and Trading Communities

    Candace RiceCHAPTERUrban Craftsmen and Traders in…2016

    This chapter discusses the economic strategies of maritime traders. It starts from the observation that the epigraphic evidence for negotiatores suggests that specialization among traders was widespread, and that, by focusing on a particular niche, traders could become successful entrepreneurs. The chapter analyses an array of strategies for maritime trade and transport, and shows how each of these strategies can also be traced back in our eviden…

  • Shipwreck cargoes in the western Mediterranean and the organization of Roman maritime trade

    Open AccessCandace RiceARTICLEJournal of Roman Archaeology2016Cited by: 4

    Much has been written about the nature and scale of Roman maritime trade, yet there remains no detailed analysis of the range of shipwreck cargoes at our disposal and the information that they provide for the organizational aspects of maritime trade. Identifying the mechanisms through whih products were traded is one of the most challenging aspects of the study of Roman trade
