The work outlines the phenomenon of architectural terracottas in their diachronic development, clarifying the manner in which their production first arose, reconstructing the range of distribution of the products of Kaulonia (among the most important in Magna Graecia), and highlighting their links with other materials of the same class in Greece and Southern Italy. It also examines significant aspects of production and attempts to investigate the ideological elements implicit in ‘horn’ roofs (a peculiar group of Southern Italy terracottas). The monograph further presents results that are of interest to wider architectural studies and Greek archaeology, including a reappraisal of ‘horn’ roofs class and a new identification of roofs found at Olympia and Delphi.

The architectural terracottas were usually put in place in or near the production site, but there are also rare cases of terracottas found very far from the polis that produced them. The paper aims to study the export of architectural terracottas in the ancient Greek world, examining a few peculiar examples. The analysis detects similarities and differences, in order to reconstruct the contextual origins of the productive process. The results show that what appear as a unitary phenomenon actually had different premises, founded in the economical, historical or even religious backgrounds of the workshops and of the agency.

Le indagini sono state parti- colarmente fruttuose ed hanno arricchito la conoscenza delle fasi di vita medievali dell’edificio H, fornendo inoltre nuove indicazioni relative all’articolazione strutturale della stoa, indagata più approfonditamente nel corso delle campagne di scavo 2015 e 2016.
