Facta. A Journal of Roman Material Culture Studies. 1. 2007

"Facta" is an international journal aimed at creating a forum for Roman material culture studies.
"Facta" gives central place to wider interpretative studies on how artefacts were produced and used throughout the Roman Empire, from Republican/late Hellenistic times into Late Antiquity. The journal is interdisciplinary in concept, promoting the role of ancient history, technology, archaeometry, socio-political studies, socio-cultural studies, economy, demography, ethnology and other scientific disciplines, in archaeology.
The journal promotes reflexive approaches to Classical Archaeology.
"Facta" considers it highly desirable for Roman material culture studies to find a new élan and balance, in order to answer the many challenges posed by the evolution of the wider interdisciplinary field and Roman archaeology in general. The latter, performed in interdisciplinary ways, seems especially suited to driving our field of research in innovative directions and to new heights. We trust that the creation of this new journal has a strong potential for providing more visibility for Roman material culture studies in many ways, which are not necessarily covered by existing international journals or conference proceedings.
The first issue of the Journal will entertain papers on a wide range of topics, while the subsequent numbers will be devoted to specific themes; besides it will propose reviews of books sent to the editors and considered of importance for methodological approach and results.
