Summary/Abstract: The paper presents four Early Roman pottery groups from the excavations of Basilica C (preceding the episcopal basilica of the 6 th century), situated in the central sector of the Late Roman fortress at Histria. These contexts display at least two chronological moments: group 1, dating to the late 1 st century BC – first half of the 1 st century AD, offers a reliable terminus post quem for groups 2–4, belonging to habitation structures dating to the second half of the 1 st – first half of the 2 nd century AD. These ceramic assemblages can contribute in the future to the chronological refinement of the first two centuries of the Roman period at Histria (phases I A and I B)
