This website and all its resources are part of the "PIRIDI – P(rosopographia) I(mperii) R(omani) I(nstrumentum) D(omesticum) I(nscriptum)" project.
The project is currently seeking funding from a public or academic institution, with the goal of ensuring its continuity and development within the framework of initiatives that promote research, innovation, and scientific culture.
The project aims to foster scientific culture and innovation among an audience not necessarily specialized in Instrumenta Inscripta. Nevertheless, it is particularly focused on supporting the educational experience of new researchers, doctoral students, and established scholars who seek to use this platform as a tool for the advancement of their research.
Project Researchers
Research Associate at the Institut Català d'Arqueologia Clàssica (ICAC, Tarragona) and Chercheur associé at UMR5140 "ASM"-Montpellier/LabEx Archimede (ANR-11-LABX-0032-01), serving as the principal investigator, designer, and developer of the PIRIDI project.
A leading figure in the field, this researcher specializes in the epigraphy of amphorae, ancient ceramic containers that are fundamental for reconstructing Roman commerce and trade networks.
The academic trajectory is marked by an in-depth focus on reading and interpreting amphoras inscriptions (including tituli picti, stamps and graffiti), which are vital sources for the economic and social history of the ancient world.
In addition to archaeological and epigraphic research, there is a pioneering commitment to developing virtual laboratories and digital tools for the humanities.
By actively integrating digital methodologies and platforms, the work advances the study, documentation, and dissemination of archaeological and epigraphic data, making a significant impact within Digital Humanities.
Research Associate at the CEIPAC (University of Barcelona).
A distinguished researcher specializing in the production and epigraphy of Baetican olive oil amphorae, especially the Dressel 20 type, which are key sources for understanding the Roman economy and society in Baetica and its Mediterranean trade.
His academic work focuses on the advanced interpretation of stamps and epigraphic inscriptions on amphorae, providing new methodologies to analyze the productive organization and stamping mechanisms in Roman amphora workshops.
Trained at the CEIPAC school, his contributions enrich the historical and archaeological understanding of the region through innovative techniques such as dendrogram analysis for studying families of stamps.
Combining epigraphic, archaeological, and statistical analysis, his research deciphers the socio-economic and organizational dynamics of amphora-production workshops.
Furthermore, his work situates epigraphic materials as key documents for reconstructing Roman economic and social history, establishing a rigorous line of research that serves as a reference for scholars in amphoric epigraphy and Roman archaeology.
