Egnazia is an important archaeological site located in Puglia on the Adriatic coast between Bari and Brindisi. The oldest human settlement is dated back at the Bronze age (XVI century B.C.). The first urban system was created between the IV and III century B.C. and the typical roman structures were built between the Augustan age and the I century A.C. After the half of the IV century the settlement reduces its size in the old acropolis and it lasts until the XIII century A.C. In the roman city there is a complex road system characterized by a main road that travels through Egnazia towards North West-South East; it separates the public, productive and economic areas from the residential zone and it proceeds in the direction of Brindisi becoming an important point in the organization of the territory. This road has access to secondary axis which join or unite all the sectors of the city. In this thesis the results of a multidisciplinary research are presented. It was carried out with the purpose of understanding the road system of the city through the study of historical and modern maps, the analysis of multispectral, multi-temporal, multi-scalar aerial and satellite images (MIVIS, QuickBird, Google™ earth images), electromagnetic geophysical data and tridimensional survey (laser scanner) of an important structure like the cryptoporticus. The integration of different methodologies has enhanced the probability of success of the research since has provided objective information through the evaluation of diverse parameters describing the same situation. This scientific, technological and innovative multidisciplinary research was transferred and applied in different archaeological sites (the roman city of Doclea (Montenegro), the fortification of Ighram Aousser (Morocco), the archaeological site of Tell El Maskhuta (Egypt), Umm ar-Rasas (Jordan) and Gur (Iran) located in international countries and characterized by different geological and geographical conditions, with the collaboration between Italian and international institution of research.
Egnazia è un importante sito archeologico localizzato in Puglia sul litorale adriatico tra Bari e Brindisi. La frequentazione più antica del territorio è datata all’età del Bronzo (XVI secolo a.C.). Il centro si dota della prima sistemazione di tipo urbano e fra l’età di Augusto e il I secolo d.C. si realizzano gli spazi e le strutture tipiche di una città romana. Alla fine del VI secolo l’abitato torna a restringersi entro l’antica acropoli e perdura fino al XIII secolo. All’interno del sito è presente un articolato sistema viario caratterizzato da un’arteria principale, la via Traiana, che attraversa Egnazia in direzione Nord Ovest-Sud Est, separa le aree pubbliche dagli spazi residenziali e produttivi e prosegue alla volta di Brindisi, divenendo un asse di rilievo anche nell’organizzazione del territorio. Da quest’ultima si snodano degli assi viari secondari con la funzione di collegare tutti i settori della città. In questa tesi vengono presentati i risultati di una ricerca multidisciplinare effettuata con lo scopo di comprendere l’articolato sistema viario della città tramite lo studio integrato di mappe storiche e moderne, l’analisi di immagini aeree e satellitari multispettrali, multi temporali, multi scalari (MIVIS, QuickBird e Google Earth), prospezioni geofisiche elettromagnetiche e rilievi tridimensionali (laser scanner) di un importante struttura quale il criptoportico. L’integrazione di più metodologie ha aumentato la probabilità di successo della ricerca poiché ha fornito informazioni oggettive tramite la valutazione della convergenza di più parametri che descrivono la stessa situazione. Questo tipo di approccio, scientifico, tecnologico ed innovativo, grazie alla collaborazione con diversi istituti di ricerca nazionali ed internazionali, è stato trasferito ed applicato infine in numerosi contesti archeologici localizzati in territorio internazionale (città romana di Doclea (Montenegro), la Fortezza di Ighram Aousser (Marocco) e i siti archeologici di Tell El Maskhuta (Egitto), Umm ar-Rasas (Giordania) e Gur (Iran)) caratterizzati da peculiari condizioni geologiche e geografiche.

Abstract
Egnazia is an important archaeological site located in Puglia on the Adriatic coast between Bari and Brindisi. The oldest human settlement is dated back at the Bronze age (XVI century B.C.). The first urban system was created between the IV and III century B.C. and the typical roman structures were built between the Augustan age and the I century A.C. After the half of the IV century the settlement reduces its size in the old acropolis and it lasts until the XIII century A.C. In the roman city there is a complex road system characterized by a main road that travels through Egnazia towards North West-South East; it separates the public, productive and economic areas from the residential zone and it proceeds in the direction of Brindisi becoming an important point in the organization of the territory. This road has access to secondary axis which join or unite all the sectors of the city. In this thesis the results of a multidisciplinary research are presented. It was carried out with the purpose of understanding the road system of the city through the study of historical and modern maps, the analysis of multispectral, multi-temporal, multi-scalar aerial and satellite images (MIVIS, QuickBird, Google™ earth images), electromagnetic geophysical data and tridimensional survey (laser scanner) of an important structure like the cryptoporticus. The integration of different methodologies has enhanced the probability of success of the research since has provided objective information through the evaluation of diverse parameters describing the same situation.
