Abstract

The present paper is focused on the preliminary results from the study of pottery coming from the site of the church of Sant’Ilario a Port’Aurea, located in the north-eastern area of the historic center of Benevento, in the southern Italy. The church was built in between the end of the 7th and the beginning of the 8th centuries and owes its name to the close Arch of Trajan, which was also known as “Porta’Aurea” (i.e. Golden Gate) being, at that time, incorporated into the town walls. The first cenobitic nucleus was added to the cult hall soon after the construction. In particular, the fictile finds here analyzed and belonging to several ceramic classes, with strong technological differences, come from 13th-15th century strata formed in the area in front of the church and in the coenobium.
