Note di archeologia lilibetana. Un primo bilancio delle indagini della Missione archeologica delle Università di Palermo e di Amburgo
2016
L’articolo presenta il bilancio delle indagini condotte dalla Missione archeologica delle Università di Amburgo e di Palermo nella “Zona Mura”, all’interno del Parco archeologico di Marsala. Nell’area individuata tramite delle prospezioni geofisiche, sono stati aperti alcuni saggi che stanno dando esiti di notevole interesse (A. Mistretta) e sono state effettuate nuove prospezioni (M. Seifert). L’attività di ricerca ha fornito inoltre dati interessanti per una più ampia riflessione sulle produzioni e le importazioni ceramiche nella città di età romana (A. Mandruzzato).
La ceramica figurata lilibetana "in added colour": breve nota di riesame
2023
The paper offers a contribution to the study of Lilibeo’s figured vases, which make extensive use of added color. The examination of some contexts allows us to clarify the old idea of a derivation of the Lilibetane vases from the workshops of Lipari, due to a displacement of artisans who would operate first in Lipari and then in Lilibeo (like the Swans Painter). It is not completely excludes the movement of craftsmen due to destructions or political changes. However it reconstructs complex interactions in which a main role had to play the influence and the action of medium exercised by the same imported artifacts (Lipari vases, mainly, but not only).
Concordiae Agrigentinorum Sacrum Res Publica Lilybitanorum. Nessi reali e presunti tra Marsala e Agrigento, A proposito di Iside. Parte II. Lilibeo: …
2021
Some archaeological investigations at Lilybaeum (Marsala) have brought to light a building in the northern part of the Capo Boeo, close to an insula occupied by a large domus. According to an inscription that mentions a deity called myronima and thea megiste, two well know epicleses of Isis, this building has been interpreted as an Iseum. The text is engraved on the surface of a half column, whose function is now re-interpreted. Also some fragmentary sculptures, which were found during the same excavations, have been deemed to belong to an Isis- Aphrodite and a Sarapis. A new reading of these statues suggests a very different interpretation. The male torso and a fragment of a bearded head a…
Lilibeo al tempo di Cicerone
2021
The volume that sees the light today is the fruit of the Study Day on "Lilibeo at the time of Cicero" held in Marsala, in the conference room of the Museo Lilibeo, on 3 May 2019 thanks to the joint effort of the Museum and the Culture and Society Department of the University of Palermo. In the short term, important changes in the council organizational structure, they led to the establishment of the Archaeological Park of Lilibeo including in a unitary structure the Lilibeo Regional Archaeological Museum, the archaeological area of Capo Boeo, which represents the main nucleus, and other state-owned archaeological areas of the urban fabric of Marsala.
Riflessioni sull’iconografia funeraria lilibetana nell’età di Cicerone
2021
Twenty-four, and possibly twenty-five painted stelae and aediculae were found, in different times, in the area of the necropolis of Lilybaeum (1903, 1974-1984), and further North, nearer to the ancient sea-shore (1895); most recently, two new entries enhanced the Museo Lilibeo (2009), beside two elements from decorated epitymbia. Despite previous scholarly opinions spread these artifacts over three centuries, as a whole, they can be assigned approximately to Cicero’s time. Some cross-cutting features, as a matter of fact, connect the stelae and the “Salinas” aediculae, and indicate that both date between the late 2nd and the late 1st century BC. Nevertheless, they constitue two neatly diffe…
Lilybaeum. Aspetti della vita in una domus al tempo di Cicerone
2021
In a II c. BC house at Marsala (via Sibilla), partially uncovered in the seventies of the last century, an atrium-like room with four central columns was brought to light. The other excavated rooms are paved with opus signinum and white/black mosaics, and some First Style wall painting fragments were recovered above the floors. Other Late Hellenistic houses at Marsala present the same characteristic tetrapyle courtyard. Some scholars consider these courtyards as atria, others as small perystiled courts. To introduce this theme, it’s briefly discussed the s.c. ‘Romanization’. In the particular context of Roman Republican Sicily, the cultural processes started under the Roman rule should not …
Una “nuova” Livia da Leptis Magna: osservazioni sul contributo delle botteghe attiche nell’elaborazione e diffusione dell’immaginario imperiale
2012
the paper focuses on a very fine peplophoros from leptis Magna, now in the local archaeological Museum, which was briefly mentioned in two wide-ranging studies about the iconography of livia (Freyerschauenburg 1982, Bartman 1999), but more recently omitted by a. alexandridis (2004) as unidentifiable. in spite of difficulties in respect of the lack of provenance or restoration record (it was probably found during the “new excavations” conducted by E. Vergara Caffarelli 1954-1960), stylistic and some iconographic details confirm that the body and portrait head can belong together. the head combines a very idealized, classical face with a hairstyle which is a Typenklitterung of two portrait ty…
Beyond subsistence? Settlement strategies of the Late Chalcolithic period in the Selevani Plain (Upper Iraqi Tigris)
2022
The aim of this paper is to provide an integrated overview of the settlement and social dynamics present in the upper sector of the Iraqi Tigris River Valley and its immediate hinterland during the Late Chalcolithic period. This has been achieved by processing and interpreting the results of two extensive regional survey projects, namely the Eastern Ḫabur Archaeological Survey (EHAS) and the Land of Nineveh Archaeological Project (LoNAP), recently undertaken along the eastern bank of the river. These results mark a significant advancement in the study of settlement patterns and cultural history compared to what was previously known of this region, which was mostly terra incognita prior to t…
Dioscuri spartani, Dioscuri beotici: alcune testimonianze iconografiche
2017
The paper discusses an iconographic type recorded on a series of pinakes from the Mannella sanctuary at Locri Epizephyrii portraying two young horsemen (one has a lyra, the other a kantharos) in front of a female figure. This is thought to be the variant of a more common type representing the Spartan Dioskouroi with a shield and phiale. The attributes of the horsemen (kantharos and lyra), unusual for the Tyndaridai, have been interpreted as a reference to the educational value of music and symposia relating to the male element within the context of wedding rituals held in the sanctuary. The lyra, however, may not be a simple element to enrich the meaning of the image, but rather an attribut…
La statua frammentaria di loricato nei Musei Civici di Reggio Emilia
2009
Una statua frammentaria di imperatore romano loricato, conservata a Reggio Emilia e mai studiata adeguatamente in precedenza, mostra una decorazione che non trova confronti puntuali. Sulla base di una serie di considerazioni si può avanzare l’ipotesi che il personaggio rappresentato fosse Augusto.
