Abstract
Along the Umbria-Marche stretch of theFlaminia Consular Road (220 B.C.) several archeological find of monumental works are well preserved.The stone employed to built many bridges, substructions and severages are represented by carbonatic breccias. On the basis of mineralogical, petrographic and micropaleontological analyses, two groups of these lithotypes are distinguished: poligenic and monogenic breccias. This archaeometric study constrains the local provenance of carbonatic breccias used as dressed stones for several monumental works along the Flamia Consular Road crossing the Umbria-marche Apennine.File in questo prodotto:
