Romanization of Funerary Rituals in Oretania: The Tomb 1 of the Cemetery of the Cerro de las Cabezas (Valdepeñas, Ciudad Real, Spain)
2017
La correcta aplicación de un procedimiento de prevención de impactos y protección al patrimonio arqueológico, desarrollado con motivo de la implantación de una línea eléctrica de alta tensión, permitió en 2013 el hallazgo de una necrópolis junto al Cerro de las Cabezas (Valdepeñas, Ciudad Real). Hasta el momento se desconocía la localización del área funeraria de este gran oppidum. Las catorce tumbas documentadas durante esta breve intervención (catorce días de trabajo) corresponden a los enterramientos de cremaciones en urnas, con piezas de ajuar asociadas como fusayolas, fíbulas, armas y recipientes cerámicos. Se presenta el estudio ceramológico de la Tumba 1; la única de entre las excava…
The ius liberorum of non-Roman citizens in Egypt. Some notes on an old Taubenschlag’s hypothesis
2019
Abstract Normally the ius liberorum is associated with Roman citizens, but in the lex Irnitana we have evidence of non-Roman members of the curial class of Baetica who took advantage of this privilege. In Roman Egypt, the constitution of the boulai in the nome capitals could have provided a similar context for the selection of local elites in which Romanized Egyptians obtained that privilege.
The Lupa Romana in the Roman provinces
2014
The she-wolf with the twins, Romulus and Remus, was identified as a symbol of Rome by both the Romans themselves and nations under the Roman rule. In this essay I will discuss the Lupa Romana in Roman provincial art. I will present various visual representations of the she-wolf both in the public use and in objects related to private life, and analyze the she-wolf’s symbolic meaning.The Lupa Romana was an iconic scene that was not used randomly in provincial art. It represented in the first place the idea of romanitas, being Roman. In some cases the use of the symbol could have been in consequence of instructions from Rome itself or from provincial authorities that depended on Rome, but in …
The Judicial and Canonical Situation of the Romanian Byzantine Catholics in Hungary Around 1900
2021
This chapter analyses the legal and canonical situation of the Romanian Byzantine Catholics in Hungary at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. Being part of the Hungarian State, the Greek Catholic bishops were subjected to the Hungarian hierarchy, attending the congresses and conferences of the Roman Catholic Bishops of Hungary. In addition, they were loyal to the Holy See, favouring the Latinisation of the Church in the three provincial councils. Through this approach, they secured the support of the papacy in disputes with the Hungarian higher clergy. Thus, they were able to uphold the individuality of their own Romanian Church, by organising their…
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.

Imperium Romanum: Romanization between Globalization and Colonization
2021
Anyone following the debate on “Romanization” in recent years will have noted that North European (especially Anglo-Saxon and Dutch) contributors to the debate have adopted a different perspective from those of Central and Southern Europe. The first group turned their attention away from the city and the urban elites to the countryside, and to the material culture of the peasant and native social groups, developing a position that was defined as "anti-colonial". Other archaeologists (Italians and French, but also Germans), instead, have continued to lay emphasis mainly on the role of local elites in the "Romanization" process, investigating the usefulness of interpretative categories such a…

Una pittura ‘ellenistico-romana’? Il II stile nella provincia Sicilia
2018
The paper analyses the distribution and the characteristics of the Second style in Sicily, considering the architectural contexts and associations, and the details (schemes, colours, motifs) of each example. These testify to the high value of the Second style and the adaptation of the paintings, in the most demanding examples (Casetta ellenistica at Centuripe, Casa delle Maschere at Soluntum), to an architectural layout planned for realizing impressive luxury suites. In the middle-class houses of Soluntum, instead, the Second style enhances just one cubiculum or a couple of reception rooms, echoing the new trends on a smaller scale, and combining them with traditional decorative devices (st…
Sicily from the Augustan periodo to the Middle Empire: what "romanization"?
2021
From a political-cultural point of view, the impact of the Roman conquest of Sicily can be seen in different aspects: for example, the policy of conquest, the flow of Italici in the island since the II century. B.C., the adoption of architectural structures of Italic tradition already from the Hellenistic age, especially in the sacred architecture. Of course, the situation in Sicily is particularly complex because the Romans did not come into contact with a single culture, but at least with three different ones: the indigenous ("Hellenized"), the Punic and the Greek (in its western colonial form). This makes it particularly difficult to provide a unified picture of the problem. If the relat…
