(PERI)URBANO VRTLARSTVO U SALONI? O NALAZU OLLAE PERFORATAE U SALONITANSKOME URBS ORIENTALIS U KONTEKSTU VRTLARSTVA NA ISTOČNOME JADRANU U RIMSKOME RAZDOBLJU.

he paper discusses several perforated vessels found during rescue excavations on the route of the gas pipeline in olin, laid within the eastern part of ancient alona (urbs orientalis). he vessels are typologically and functionally characterized and their use in horticulture or pomiculture is identified based on analogies, i.e. they are interpreted as ollae perforatae functional in transplanting and transporting plants. aking into account the topography of the area where they were found within the (sub)urban grid of alona, the assumed horticultural space as identified on the bases of these vessels is discussed in association with earlier architectural finds. Due to the uniqueness of such vessels in the alonitan and wider ast Adriatic pottery corpus, and considering the related and assumed indicators of ancient horticulture, these objects are placed in a wider discussion on gardening in the Roman period in that area, including the social practices and wider implications that follow the establishment and use of Roman gardens, and their ideological and identity significance as cultural landscapes.
