Marble Provenance in Late Antique Ravenna. Cultural Connections and Commercial Exchange
Original language description
At the beginning of the 5th century, Ravenna became a sedes imperii practically overnight, which ledto a rapid increase in building activity and demand for precious materials such as coloured stones and whitemarble. Thanks to its excellent sea connections through its ports, the city maintained dynamic connectionswith many Mediterranean centres. The determination of provenance of white marble artefacts from Ravennaand its port in Classe by means of combination of petrological and mineralogical-geochemical analyses,confirms the predominance of materials from the East, in particular from the Marmara Island (Proconnesos).This fact correlates directly with previous assumptions about the importation of sarcophagi and architecturalelements to Ravenna from the East and via Constantinople in Late Antiquity.
