Abstract
The excavations carried out in via Curte in Forlì brought to light part of the Roman city: the evidence found here has a lifespan of over five centuries (from the 1 cent. BC to the 5th AD). The pottery lamps found in the site testify the tastes, cultural affiliation, style of life and choiches of the people who lived here: from the very first wheel-made, Late-Republican lamps to the local imitations of African Terra Sigillata models. As The Regio Aemilia has been for centuries one of the main pottery production centres of the Roman Empire, they are even more meaningful as an index of the imported vs locally produced goods ratio.
