Abstract

A new cornelian intaglio found in the excavation at Muccia (MC) shows a young dancing satyr. The vivid rendering of the body and fine characterization indicate a well known specimen and the classicizing style approaches that of the selected series realized in Roman workshops at the end of the first century B.C. and the beginning of the first century A.D. The cornelian increases the evidences of Roman productions in the ancient Marche region, where most of engraved gems and finger rings preserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Ancona date to late-classical and Hellenistic period. The findings from the celtic necropolis of Filottrano, Osimo and Montefortino di Arcevia give important information in order to identify imports from Etruria, South Italy and North Greece next to local productions; in order to recognize phases, ways and dynamics of the artefacts distribution and use during almost two centuries. The findings from the Ancona Hellenisticroman graves increase the knowledge, including the territory in a network of the Aegean trades.
