Abstract
Roman building materials, especially brick and tiles (tegulae and imbex) marked a new era in the architecture of Roman Dalmatia. While imported materials seem to still form the bulk of the evidence, recently identified and definitely located local productions provide the possibility to place these products within a technological and economical framework. The in-depth analysis of the array of ceramic building materials (CBM) of the workshop of Sextus Me(u)tillius Maximus in Crikvenica (north-eastern Adriatic) evidences their forming methods and production technology, while some distribution aspects and their role within the rural economy indicate their relevance within the regional CBM market. This paper will highlight such aspects and place them within a wider debate on the onset of production, the organisation of rural property, and the transmission of technology and knowledge through the adoption of “Roman style” architectural solutions.

The setting up of the pottery workshop at Crikvenica coincides with a time of a more stable presence of Rome in the north-eastern Adriatic
BC in ancient Liburnia is marked by peaceful integration within the Empire, when this area served as the starting point for further advances of the Roman armies, both to the south in the territories of the Delmatae and to the north-east, in Pannonia (Starac 2000: 10–18; Borzić 2007: 171–176 with earlier bibliography)
Summary
The production of Hellenistic and Roman pottery and ceramics in the eastern Adriatic, in the latter period relative to the province of Dalmatia, has been supposed on the basis of indirect evidence such as brick stamps, finds of overfired shreds or other wasters and similar (Katić 2000; Kirigin et al 2002; Čargo, Miše 2010; Lipovac Vrkljan et al 2018). 2018a). U ovome ćemo radu, polazeći od analiza tipologije, metoda oblikovanja i distribucije GK, usmjeriti naš interes na organizaciju obrta i ulogu ovih proizvoda unutar gospodarstva provincije
