Summary
I marmi e le pietre colorate antiche che furono introdotte per abbellire Roma nel periodo imperiale provenivano dai territori conquistati nel bacino del Mediterraneo. I materiali usati erano selezionati per i colori vivaci e l’aspetto decorativo. Le rocce più preziose, secondo l’Editto di Diocleziano, erano il porfido rosso, la serpentinite, il pavonazzetto, il giallo antico, l’africano e la sienite. Nelle cave i blocchi venivano sbozzati e il prodotto semilavorato veniva trasportato via mare fino al porto di Traiano e lungo il Tevere giungeva a Roma, dove le maestranze rifinivano il pezzo.
The ancient marbles and colored stones that were introduced to embellish Rome in the imperial period came from the conquered territories in the Mediterranean basin. The materials used were selected for bright colors and decorative appearance. The most precious rocks, according to the edict of Diocletian, were red porphyry, serpentine, pavonazzetto marble, ancient yellow marble, african marble and syenite. In the quarries the blocks were roughed and the semi-finished product was transported by sea to the port of Traiano and along the Tevere reached Rome, where the workers finished the piece.
