CUCULLI LIBURNICI - TRACES OF WOOL PRODUCTION IN ROMAN DALMATIA

Textiles and wool from Liburnia were sporadically mentioned in the sources from the 1st century. These testimonies seem to echo the fact that finished products exported from Liburnia included cloth and clothes, i.e. cloaks (cuculli liburnici). The scanty information from the sources on textile production from the territory of Liburnia combined with the discoveries of truncatedpyramid weights around a smallest kiln in pottery workshop in Crikvenica seem to highlight the great need for making vertical looms. Textile production leaves few traces, so the quantity of discovered weights sheds a new light on the evolution of the textile production in the territory of the Roman province of Dalmatia. These few notes on the Liburnian cloak and the Liburnian coarse cloth in Latin sources are very important, since they point to export to the territory of Italy during the 1st century, that is, at the time of intensive activity of the Crikvenica workshop
