The aim of this paper is to offer an overview of the diffusion of Hellenistic fired bricks in Calabria, starting from the main poleis of the region. The data relating to stamps offer important clues on the production system and methods of use. Attention then turns to the archaeological context of Locri, where different types of Hellenistic fired bricks are attested, generally reused in later buildings. Finally, some tombs show the adoption of the architectural model with a brick structure with a vaulted roof.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to offer an overview of the diffusion of Hellenistic fired bricks in Calabria, starting from the main poleis of the region. The data relating to stamps offer important clues on the production system and methods of use. Attention then turns to the archaeological context of Locri, where different types of Hellenistic fired bricks are attested, generally reused in later buildings. Finally, some tombs show the adoption of the architectural model with a brick structure with a vaulted roof.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
