Abstract

In 2010, excavation of the east bank of the river Natiso aimed at the investigation of the suburbs of Aquileia revealed two series of parallel short walls, differing in chronology and orientation, but both built of clay, sand, pebbles and brick fragments. Notwithstanding the fact that the construction technique and materials are typical of rural architecture in Venetia, we have no other examples such structures. A possible parallel, based on the plan (a series of parallel rooms) and the topography (the banks of the river near an artisanal area): these could be the remains of granaries,with raised floors. After examination of sites in the Regio X, Germania Superior, Britannia and Tingitana it appears that the short parallel walls served as the foundation for floors aimed at the rapid storage of products brought in from the river, and, vice versa, for those destined to be loaded on to river boats that took part in the intense trade of the ports of Aquileia in the imperial period.
