Building a New Identity in Segesta between Tradition and Innovation
This chapter illustrates and interprets the transformation of Segesta. More than any other Indigenous settlement in Sicily, this site was rapidly transformed in the span of about a century from a small community into a true polis, equal to its colonial Greek counterparts. The focus is on two of the three sacred areas of Segesta dating to Archaic and Classical periods, namely the sanctuary extra moenia of Contrada Mango and the sacred area of the …

Il santuario di Zeus Olympios ad Agrigento
The paper aims to reassess the entire architectural and archaeological evidence of the southern part of the sanctuary of Zeus Olympios. This includes the oikos near the SE corner of the big temple (with two building phases dated respectively to the mid-6th century and to the first half of the 5th century), and the area with a large pool and two halls located to the south. This is equipped with a complex drainage system connected with two big cist…

Great attention is also paid to past ritual activities, which a…
Immagine divina, mito e pratica rituale nella pittura vascolare greca. A proposito del cratere a calice siceliota di Siracusa con il mito delle pretidi
L’analisi esegetica proposta del cratere a calice siceliota di Siracusa con il mito delle Pretidi, condotta in parallelo con quella dell’anfora lucana con lo stesso soggetto, dimostra come il pittore, pur attingendo per la sua figurazione ad un substrato mitico comune, lo manipola, adattandolo iconograficamente alla realtà cultuale del luogo di produzione e/ o fruizione e d’uso dell’oggetto ; l’immagine dunque, con le sue presunte incongruenze fi…
