Potaissa, funerary archaeology, burialscape, Roman gravesAbstract
In this paper are analyzed the two Roman necropolises of Potaissa (modern day Turda, Cluj County, Romania) in order to establish a general overview of the burial spaces. Even if the Roman graves are found here beginning with the 19th century, there is no study focused strictly on the issues regarding the burialscapes of the funerary areas. This article synthetize the current state of things and outlines some important aspects about the physical boundaries and the chronology of the abovementioned necropolises. By analysing all the grave clusters found beginning with 1894 until 2014 the author tried to illustrate the particularities and the general character of Potaissa’s burial places as much as the state of information allowed.Downloads
