Publisher's Synopsis
Published regularly since 1872, the Bullettino della Commissione Archeologica Comunale di Roma, with its century and a half long life, is one of the oldest journals of archaeology, born with the aim of documenting rapidly, and with high scientific rigor, the archaeological discoveries made in Rome and in the suburb, the acquisition of works of art and artefacts in the city' s archaeological museums, and finally the protection and restoration of its monuments and archaeological sites. Although the journal pays special attention to the archaeological excavations, whose publications with rigorous and exhaustive scientific reports is accompanied by the Notiziario degli Scavi (Excavation Newsletter), established to provide yearly precise information on the archaeological works carried out in Rome and in the suburb, with a distribution according to the ancient Augustan regiones, the Bullettino Comunale publishes studies and researches related mainly to the history, epigraphy, art history, objects of the instrumentum domesticum, numismatics, architecture, urban planning and topography of ancient Rome, from the protohistoric to the medieval age. The journal has an anonymous review system and a scientific committee that guarantees the quality of the published articles, whose authors include internationally renowned Italian and foreign scholars. The Bullettino Comunale also publishes a Supplement, now at number 26, dedicated to monographic works or to the publication of conference and workshop proceedings.
