Abstract
In this paper the compositional and structural analysis of a Roman milestone, preserved in the Antiquarium of the archaeological park of Bova Marina, Reggio Calabria, south of Italy, was performed. A combination of spectroscopic techniques was employed for this purpose. Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM+EDX) was used for the morphological investigation and quantitative elemental analysis of the investigated samples; Raman Spectroscopy (RS) was employed to identify their crystalline mineral components and to study their microstructure. The chemical analysis allowed us to identify elements and compounds, closely related to the sample preparation, with the aim to investigate about nature and the possible artistic technique, to better understand the original aspect of this late-Empire road system.
期刊介绍:
CIRES-IT, e-ISSN 2239-4303, provides a forum for the exchange and sharing of know-how in the areas of Digitalization and Multimedia Technologies and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) in support of Cultural and environmental Heritage (CH) documentation, preservation and fruition. It publishes comprehensive reviews on specific fields, regular research papers and short communications in a timely fashion. The Journal aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental results and theoretical work in a comprehensive way. Restrictions on the length of papers is negotiable with the Editors. There are, in addition, other features that this Journal encourages: Electronic files regarding the full details of theoretical derivations, detailed experimental results, high-resolution renderings, short video animations and audio/video documentaries can be deposited as supplementary material to support the article.
