The Way

In order to understand the functioning of mining in ancient Rome, it is necessary to investigate the rules of classical and post-classical Roman law related to mines. Most of the mining information is extracted from the Lex Vipasca, the two bronze plates found in Aljustrelo in Portugal in 1876 and 1906. The first plate from Aljustrelo provided valuable information on the mining sale taxes, the auctioneer’s provision, the management of baths, shoemakers, barbers, metallurgy workers, mining waste tax, teachers and seizure of mines and receivables. The second plate from  Aljustrelo defines the responsibilities of the procurator, the rights and obligations of the owner, the price of the mine, and tells us about the way of organizing the leaseholders in societies – societas. From the preserved provision of Codex Theodosianus  (CTh.X.19.8.) we learn about the existence of specially separated rights related to  the mining and exploitation rights. The aim of our work is, through analysis of the  Aljustrelo plates, to show how far Roman law has defined all aspects of mining in  detail and to show the functioning of the system starting from the formation, acquisition of property, business, control, disputes, and associated activities that were  formed with mines. These two plates with Roman mining laws provide an inexhaustible study-basis for lawyers, as well as others dealing with Ancient Rome. In  addition to the mentioned Lex Vipasca, some minor and later mining regulations  have been briefly outlined to complement the picture of Roman mining law.

Roman Mining

The archaeological traces of the Roman mining and metallurgy in eastern Serbia are rather frequent but insufficiently studied and published. Three mining-metallurgical regions abounding in gold, silver, copper, iron and lead could be distinguished there: 1. the upper course of the Pek river, metalla Pincensia, 2. the area between Bor, Zlot, Crna Reka and Rgotina and 3. the area in the river basin of Beli Timok, two latter ones had been organized as territoria metallorum. The archeometallurgical sites confirmed by investigations are: Kraku lu Jordan at the confluence of the Brodica river and the Pek river, Rudna Glava, Tilva Ros in Bor, Gamzigrad - Romuliana, Rgotina near Zajecar and Timacum Minus in the village Ravna near Knjazevac. Roman mining-metallurgical activities in eastern Serbia flourished from the end of the 3rd century, were interrupted by the invasion of Huns in AD 441. and restored in the time of emperors Anastasius and Justin I, in the end of the 5th - beginning of the 6th centuries. The Roman mining-metallurgical centers functioned in the 6th century until the Slav invasion in the beginning of the 7th century.

RESUMO: Este artigo apresenta os conceitos principais que estão relacionados à área da Ciberarqueologia: um ramo recente dentro da Arqueologia que estabelece o diálogo entre Realidade Virtual e os trabalhos arqueológicos. Primeiramente é apresentado o panorama da história da cibernética a fim de contextualizar a Realidade Virtual. Depois são discutidas as definições de real e virtual. Por fim, é apresentada a prática ciberarqueológica por meio do aplicativo Vipasca Antiga: um simulador interativo sobre uma antiga área de mineração romana hoje pertencente ao território de Portugal. ABSTRACT: This article presents the main concepts that are related to Cyber-Archaeology: a recent development within archaeology that establishes a dialogue between Virtual Reality and archaeological works. First an overview of the history of cybernetics is presented in order to contextualize Virtual Reality. Then the real and virtual definitions are discussed. Finally, the cyberarchaeological practice (i.e. the dialogue between cybernetics and archeology) is presented through the Vipasca Antiga application: an interactive simulator about an ancient Roman mining area now belonging to the territory of Portugal, and the final product of my PhD research.

Pretendemos com este trabalho dar a conhecer um possível assentamento militar romano localizado na vertente Oriental da serra da Padrela: o Alto da Cerca (Valpaços, Portugal). O uso de uma metodologia não-invasiva permitiunos caracterizar arqueologicamente este sítio e diferenciá-lo em relação à rede de povoamento local. Tendo em consideração que o exército romano estaria directamente envolvido em tarefas de controlo e proteção das zonas mineiras, mas também com questões logísticas e técnico-administrativas de planificação, administração e organização territorial, procuramos contextualizar este assentamento em relação ao distrito mineiro romano de Tresminas. Alto da Cerca (Valpaços, Portugal): a Roman military settlement in the Padrela Mountain and its relation to the mining district of Tresminas - In this work, we study a possible Roman military settlement located on the eastern slope of the Padrela Mountain, named Alto da Cerca (Valpaços, Portugal). The use of a non-invasive methodology allowed us to characterise the site archaeologically and to differentiate it in relation to the local settlement network. Considering that the Roman army was directly involved in control tasks and protection of mining areas, but also in logistical issues and technical and administrative planning, as well as administration and territorial organization, we seek to contextualize the settlement in relation to the Roman mining district of Tresminas.

Roman Mining

This paper discusses changes in the Roman mining policy that took place during the Empire, based on the provisions found on the second tablet of the Lex metallis dicta2 (Vip II, 1, 2,5,6,7,8,9) from Vipasca. The main stress is placed on the position, rights and obligations of the coloni and miners and the status of mining pits after their sale. By examining the efficiency of the indirect model of silver and lead exploitation in the mining district of Vipasca, the authors present their solution to the unresolved issue of the means by which the Roman state obtained large quantities of metals necessary for the operation of state-run factories and imperial mints.
