Abstract
-
Imperial properties in Italy have been studied primarily on the basis of historical texts and epigraphic evidence. The well documented archaeological sequences of occupation and diagnostic assemblages at Vagnari in Puglia offer an invalua-ble and fresh perspective on profound changes in social and political circumstances, population mobility, and economic regimes in the context of Roman imperial ownership. After seven years of fieldwork here, we are now able to document and better understand the transformation of a late Republican agricultural settlement in private possession into a vast estate owned by the Roman emperor.
