Orion and the Scorpion
So-called catasterisms, the ascent of individuals to the heavens as constellations, form an important part of the Greek mythological lore of the sky. Originally described in a lost work by Eratosthenes, they repeatedly appear in both Greek and in Roman literature – e.g. in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. However, although there exist several works of ancient art depicting constellations, to date there are no known iconographic depictions of any of the corr…
Museum-based therapeutic interventions in pediatric oncology
Pediatric oncology patients face multifaceted challenges extending beyond disease pathophysiology and therapeutic interventions. Cancer treatment frequently disrupts fundamental developmental processes, compromising physical and emotional functioning, social relationships, and cognitive maturation. While conventional biomedical approaches remain essential for disease control, they inadequately address the comprehensive psychosocial needs of child…

01. Athènes, Attique, Mégaride (Despina Chatzivasiliou) Généralités 01.01 — Dans une monographie, l’A. étudie la relation entre les sanctuaires d’Artémis à Brauron, à Mounichie et sur l’Acropole d’Athènes. Elle compare les vestiges et les offrandes avec ceux provenant d’autres lieux dédiés à Artémis (comme à Halai Araphinidai). Sa réflexion s’articule autour de la structuration du territoire de l’Attique, entre la polis et la chōra, et revoit la …
Equine exploitation at Pompeii (AD 79)
Inside the Casts of the Pompeian Victims
The first casts of the forms of Pompeian victims of the AD 79 eruption of Mt Vesuvius were successfully achieved under the directorship of Giuseppe Fiorelli in 1863. To date, 104 individuals have been cast by restorers and archaeologists during the course of excavation. The methods used to obtain these casts were not well documented. It was always assumed that plaster or lime cement was merely poured into voids which preserved the impression of o…
Pompeii and its second life throughout the multidisciplinary researches
Planned conservation in Pompeii
Purpose The planned maintenance service, conducted within the scope of the Great Pompeii Project, presents a high degree of complexity. The purpose of this paper is to describe the methodological choices and operational practices which are being put into place, in order to allow a gradual transition from works of an extraordinary nature to a continuous and planned conservation initiative. Design/methodology/approach In line with changing perspect…
Games, banquets, handouts, and the population of Pompeii as deduced from a new tomb inscription
A monumental tomb has been discovered at Pompeii in the Stabian Gate area during renovation work on a public building, constructed in the early 19th c., that currently houses the offices of the Archaeological Park. The tomb is part of a necropolis that developed alongside an important gate in the S sector of the city walls. In this area, 19th-c. investigations brought to light the gate as well as a section of paved road and two schola tombs in gr…

Rituali sacrificali e offerte votive nel santuario lucano di Torre di Satriano
Pausania sull'Acropoli. Tra l'Atena di Endoios e l'agalma caduto dal cielo
L’organizzazione del percorso narrativo nella Periegesi di Pausania nella sezione dedicata all’Acropoli procede secondo un ordine preciso che scandisce monumenti e donari, disposti lungo la via processionale percorsa dal corteo panatenaico, fino a raggiungere l’area del grande altare e dunque dell’Eretteo. La descrizione del lato nord del santuario poliadico restituisce una serie di dati che possono contribuire a rinnovare la ricostruzione tradiz…
