“…This constituted a continuation of late Hellenistic trade and transhipment, one that may have been put to new uses in the imperial period. Gallimore (2019) has shown that infrastructure development and increased economic connectivity by the mid-first century ce had an impact upon not only Knossos but also all of Crete 66 . Perhaps the praefectura was, in the end, a long-lasting factor in the maintenance of the Campanian–Cretan and/or Capuan–Knossian relationships.…”

“…The island of Crete underwent territorial reorganisation at some point between the mid-first century bce and the mid-first century ce (Baldwin Bowsky 2001; 2002b; Papaioannou 2007; Hayden 2004; Hingley 2005, 10–15; Sweetman 2011; 2013; Gallimore 2019, 611–12). However, during the Augustan period we can identify several specific and important political and administrative decisions: as we have seen already, it may be at this time that the colony of Knossos was founded, the ‘Lands of Capua’ were assigned and Gortyn became the provincial capital (Baldwin Bowsky 2002b; Lefebvre 2013, 264; Chevrollier 2016, 14).…”

“… 66 Gallimore 2019, 612, argues that Knossos’ relationship with Capua was the primary stimulus behind Crete's economic connections with Italy. See also Horden and Purcell 2000, 219.…”

This paper presents a new edition of a boundary stone between Capua (on Crete) and Knossos. I identify the post of Publius Messius Campanus as procurator Campaniae rather than procurator Caesaris. The appearance of the procurator Campaniae on Crete is linked to a dispute between the colony of Capua and a private citizen called Plotius Plebeius. This new reading has several important historical consequences: first, it is the earliest attestation of a procurator Campaniae (and the first outside Italy); second, it offers a new interpretation of the juridical category of Knossian lands as part of the ager vectigalis of the Italian colony of Capua in the form of a praefectura Campana or Capuensis; third, it proposes a reinterpretation of the process of arbitration between a public entity (Capua) and a private owner.

“…Notably, at AEK 4, Pavlina Karanastasi (2020) summarized the old data and future prospects for Roman Crete and mentioned many of the key research articles published in recent years. To name just some of these, along with more recent additions here, there are articles by Martha Baldwin Bowsky (2007; 2009; 2011; 2014), Nadia Coutsinas (Coutsinas, Guy and Kelly 2016), Jane Francis (2014; 2017), Scott Gallimore (2017; 2018; 2019), Amanda Kelly (2013; Kelly and O’Neill 2023), Stavroula Markoulaki (2009), Anna Moles (Moles et al 2022; Moles 2023b), Katja Sporn (2012), and Rebecca Sweetman (2007; 2011a; 2011b). The growing interest in these time periods has resulted in an increased number of research projects, workshops, congresses, and publications over the last 15 years.…”

This article aims to overview the last 15 years of archaeological work on Crete (2007–2022) for the Roman and Byzantine periods. It is a resource that can provide the first step in the research process for those looking to investigate these time periods in Crete. It not only communicates recent discoveries and research, but also directs scholars to earlier key publications – which this article follows on from – and to an extensive bibliography of recently published research. After covering the main publications of the last 15 years and the workshops, congresses, and conferences that have taken place, it organizes the recent archaeological discoveries by site type. It begins by covering surveys of both the landscape and those conducted underwater that have been extensive across and around Crete. It then covers public buildings and infrastructure, domestic architecture, production and craft, and cemeteries. While it is not a complete listing of all finds, it summarizes the key discoveries, publications, and events in order to demonstrate the major developments for study of these time periods in Crete.
