Abstract:
The doctoral research was focused on the city of Albenga, a Roman municipium founded in western Liguria. In particular, I investigated the transition from the classical age to the late antiquity and the transformations that took place from the urban point of view.Unfortunately, there aren't data about civil and housing construction, because archaeological research has involved almost exclusively religious buildings; for this reason, the main objective of the research is to reconstruct the Christian topography of the city.Unluckily, some recent excavation data concerning the city center were not made available by the old directors, so I had to rely on published informations and on a systematic review of structures, with stratigraphic readings of masonries, where they were still visible.The work reveals a complete and highly articulated Christian topography, with buildings that can be dated, for the first time, to the late antiquity (Santa Maria, San Teodoro, San Clemente with three apses) and important novelties about the implementation phases of the baptistery project, one of the most studied structures of late antiquity.Therefore it can be deduced that Albenga is a city that has been of great importance thanks to the reconstruction of the general of Onorio, Costanzo (early 5th century), and then even after the Greek-Gothic war, when the Byzantines made it a stronghold and they restructured many churches.The city is still vital in the Lombards period, when the episcopal complex and San Calocero are equipped with new high quality liturgical fences ("bottega delle Alpi Marittime").
