2019
Si dà la prima edizione di una statuetta appartenente alla "seconda donazione borbonica" confluita nel Museo di Palermo, finora considerata solo nel repertorio fogografico della scultura antica di Arndt e Bruckmann, ma con interpretazione inesatta del soggetto.

2020
After some considerations about the chronology of Theatre of Sabratha and on the internal organization of pulpitum reliefs, this paper puts forward the hypothesis of the attribution to Apuleius of the most part of the iconographic programme. In particular, Florida and Metamorphosis are suggested as direct sources of some scenes. The reconsideration of the pulpitum's first scene, starting from the left, previously interpreted as a sort of theatral academy, confrims this hypothesis. The scene represents a group of philosophers, strictly derived from the representation of the seven savants, as depicted on two well known mosaics. The iconography is adapted to the specific context, with the elim…
