All roads lead to legion. The provenance of pottery finds from early imperial legion camp in Burnum (Croatia)

Archaeological excavation conducted in the last 10 years at the amphitheatre and the campus of Roman military centre in Burnum (Croatia), among other finds in the layers from 1st half of the 1st century AD when 11th Legion was stationed here, have provided insight in extremely large amount of Roman pottery. Analyses show a wide area of production of some of its categories, especially fine table ware (Terra sigillata, thin walled pottery and glazed pottery) and amphorae, but cooking ware also. Such knowledge provide valuable information for discussion about commercial magnetism, attractiveness and needs of Roman legionary camps, and in the wider sense about connectivity in Roman world and real role of the army in opening provincial markets for external manufacturing regions, in our case Illyricum in Julio-Claudian period.
