Sažetak
In the hinterland of ancient Salona, at the territory of the present-day Gardun, a village near Trilj, remains of the Roman legionary fortress Tilurium have been located and systematic archaeological excavations of this site have been ongoing since 1997. As a result, significant parts of the Roman legionary architecture have been documented so far, as well as a great number of small archaeological finds such as pottery, numismatics, mosaics and glass, metal and bone objects. Their selection was successively cataloged and published in the publications Tilurium I – V (the last of which is in print). Most of this finds can be dated to the first half of the 1st century AD, when the VII. Roman Legion resided there. Among such vast archaeological finds, nearly 55, 000 fragments of pottery have been recorded, which include fine and coarse wares, as well as lamps and bricks, tiles and other ceramic building material. Since the pottery represents the main source of the information about everyday life in the Roman military camp Tilurium, for the purpose of this paper, we have collected and we will present data of the everyday pottery jars, dishes, bowls, mortaria and amphorae that were used as tableware or for cooking, or the storage and transport of foods and other goods ; as well as some fine wares such as terra sigillata or terracotta lamps ; and finally bricks and tiles, all produced in enormous quantities, mostly for utilitarian purposes. The analysis of the Roman pottery from Tilurium, included in this paper, has shown that this is a standard ceramic material which has also been used in other military camps.
