On présente l'étude des spolia en marbres blanches utilisés dans la Cathédrale de Troia, au bût de l'identification et de la détermination de leur provenance. Cette étude, qui a été réalisée au moyen des analyses minéro-pétrographiques et isotopiques, a demontré le remploi des marbres provenant essentiellement de Marmara et Paros. Ce qui laisse supposer que la source principal de ces matériaux pouvait être un contexte monumental homogène spolié pendant la réalisation de l'église, à partir de l'age normand-soube jusqu'à celle d'Anjou. Cette source pourrait être identifiée dans quelque monument de la ville romaine de Aecae, sur la quelle Troia a été bâti.
This study looks at the white marble spolia present in Troia Cathedral, with the aim of identifying the constituent marbles and the quarries from which the stone was dug, using minero-petrographic and isotopic analyses. The presence of mostly Proconnesian and Parian marbles supports the notion that the source of these materials was substantial and homogenous, and probably remained the same during the different phases of the church's construction, from the Norman-Swabian to the Angevin period. This source could be a Roman monument of Aecae, the site on which the city of Troia was built.

Abstract
This study looks at the white marble spolia present in Troia Cathedral, with the aim of identifying the constituent marbles and the quarries from which the stone was dug, using minero-petrographic and isotopic analyses. The presence of mostly Proconnesian and Parian marbles supports the notion that the source of these materials was substantial and homogenous, and probably remained the same during the different phases of the church's construction, from the Norman-Swabian to the Angevin period. This source could be a Roman monument of Aecae, the site on which the city of Troia was built.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
