Roman and Byzantine Malta : Trade and Economy Hardback
by Brunella Bruno, Georgette Cutajar
Part of the Maltese Social Studies Series series
Hardback
Description
The idea of carrying out research on the Maltese archipelago during the Roman and Byzantine periods stems from the author's participation in the activities of the Missione Archeologica Italiana, which had resumed in Malta in 1995 in order to complete research conducted on the sites of Tas-Silg and San Pawl Milqi.
These archaeological sites are today considered amongst the most important on the archipelago.
Their stratigraphy spans an extensive timeframe - from prehistory to the modern era - making them important points of reference and comparison, not least in the classification and study of ceramic remains.
