The archaeological excavations carried out recently have brought to light numerous fragments of monumental inscriptions in white marbles. They exhibit some characteristics that indicate them to be official inscriptions of monumental dimensions. No fragments fit together, but most of them present common parameters which allow them to be separated into at least two different groups. Macroscopically, differences in whiteness and in the quality of carving have been observed. To be certain of the common geological nature of marbles from the same group, they have been investigated under optical microscope and cathodoluminescence equipment. Complementary C and O stable isotopes have been analysed in order to attribute the samples to a particular ancient marble quarry. This contribution will lead us to progress further in the study of this architectural complex.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess5506.02 Historia del artecapítulo de libromarble provenanceLuni-CarraraAfyon
