The Roman maritime villa at Bibione and its context

现代比比奥尼(意大利上阿德里亚州威尼西亚)北郊的罗马别墅已经有很长一段时间了。然而，它只被零星地调查过。这种研究状况是威尼斯东部地区的症状。虽然已经确定了大量的Villae和农村住区，但在大多数情况下，确实只进行了肤浅的调查或单独的挖掘运动。到目前为止，还没有完整的别墅建筑群的记录，也没有对相关的经济活动、基础设施和自然环境条件进行彻底调查。然而，在研究罗马别墅及其社会经济影响的领域中，这类具有特定区域重点的研究是迫切需要的。比比奥尼的别墅提供了一个极好的机会来填补空白，即使是在一些最有利的外部框架条件下。基于德国雷根斯堡大学和意大利帕多瓦大学之间的跨学科和国际合作，有可能实现包括不同主题和方法的差异化研究计划。考古(发掘、调查)以及地球科学和(目前，有限规模)古生态田野调查和研究是该计划的一部分。该案例研究被有意识地概念化，以作为全面研究罗马帝国时期和古代晚期意大利经济史和定居点模式的参考点。

The Roman villa at the northern outskirts of modern Bibione (Venetia, Upper Adria, Italy) is known for quite some time. Nevertheless, it has only sporadically been investigated. This state of research is symptomatic for the region of eastern Venetia. While a larger number of villae and rural settlements has been identified, in most cases only superficial surveys or singular excavation campaigns did take place. To date, there is no record of an entire villa-complex, nor have the relative economic activities, infrastructure and natural environmental conditions been thoroughly investigated. Yet, studies of this kind, with a specifically regional focus, are an urgent desideratum within the field of research on Roman villas and their socio-economic impact. The villa of Bibione offers an excellent opportunity to fill in the gap, even for some most propitious external framework-conditions. Based on an interdisciplinary and international cooperation between the universities of Regensburg (Germany) and Padua (Italy) it is possible to realise a differentiated research program, which includes different topics and methodical approaches. Archaeological (excavation, survey) as well as geoscientific and (for the moment, on a limited scale) palaeoecological fieldwork and studies are parts of this program. The case study is consciously conceptualised as to serve as a point of reference for comprehensive research on economic history and settlement patterns in Italy between the Roman Imperial Period and Late Antiquity.
