Roman Sicily. Cities and territories between monumentalization and economy, crisis and development
2018
This volume is the result of a collaboration between the two Universities of Palermo and Göttingen, who have been cooperating for a decade, implementing an intense exchange of experiences in the field of teaching and research, as part of the double degree in master's degree in archeology.
