Petrography and provenance of Laecanius Amphorae from Istria, northern Adriatic region, Croatia

The paper discusses lamps of Tripolitanian production found in Aquileia during recent research projects (sewage-system rescue excavation between 1968 and 1972 in the city center and the excavation of the so-called Domus of Titus Macer at the site of the former Cossar property) as well as known otherwise from the northern Adriatic region. The authors present typologies and distribution maps, and consider on these grounds the trade routes traveled by Tripolitanian lamps to Aquileia. This leads them in turn to a look at commercial patterns reflected in this, including Aquileia’s role as a rich harbor city rooted in the Adriatic distribution system and a hub for the distribution of goods to the hinterland settlements.

The main goal of this study is to present a recently developed classification method for weather types based on the vorticity and the location of the synoptic centers relative to the Adriatic region. The basis of the present objective classification, applied to the Adriatic region, is the subjective classification developed by Poje. Our algorithm considered daily mean sea-level pressure and 500 hPa geopotential height to define one out of 17 possible weather types. We applied the algorithm to identify which weather type was relevant in the generation of the two typical near-surface winds over the Adriatic region, namely Bora and Sirocco. Two high-resolution (0.11°) EURO-CORDEX regional climate models were used, SMHI-RCA4 and DHMZ-RegCM4, forced by several CMIP5 global climate models and analyzed for two 30-year periods: near-present day and mid-21st century climate conditions under the high-end Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP8.5) scenario. Bora and Sirocco days were extracted for each weather type and a distribution over the 30-year period was presented. Our results suggest that in the winter season, climate model projections indicate a reduction in the main cyclonic types relevant in the formation of Bora over the entire Adriatic region and an increase in the number of anticyclonic types relevant in Sirocco events. In contrast, for the summer season, an increase in the main anticyclonic Bora-related weather types is found in the ensemble over the northern Adriatic region.
