Velia nella prima età imperiale. Aspetti della documentazione archeologica

The study of Velia in the Roman period has only recently begun. The paper focuses on some aspects of the archaeological data to discuss ways of diffusion of artistic and cultural patterns of the Augustan age. Public and private architecture and material culture are valuable markers in the wide panorama offered by the city. The data analyzed so far show a significant permeability of the local environment, which, however, does not lose identity and local traditions.
