Cults, rituals and handcrafted productions in Cagliari in the Roman Age. Preliminary note on coroplastics from the excavation of the church of Sant'Avendrace

Abstract

Recent archaeological excavations in the church of Sant'Avendrace in Cagliari have brought to light a building from the Roman age, that it seems interpretable as a sanctuary due to the architectural features and many finds, easily identifiable as ex voto, like terracotta plaquettes, miniature vases and some moulds. In this issue are presented some preliminary about the original shape of that moulds.

The papers published in this volume were presented at the International Conference “What can Terracottas tell us: Coroplastic Polysemy in the Ancient Mediterranean” (Cagliari - Cittadella dei Musei, 10–12th November 2022) organized under the scientific direction of Romina Carboni, Claudia Cenci and Nicola Chiarenza.
