Priolo Gargallo e la Valle dell'Aci. Ricerche sui paesaggi antichi della Sicilia sud-orientale (original) (raw)

2016

Abstract

The research recently undertaken by IBAM in the territory of Priolo Gargallo and in the Valle dell’Aci, both areas of fundamental importance situated on the eastern coast of Sicily, aimed to define the transformations that occurred in the countryside between the Hellenistic and medieval periods. For the first time this research shed light on the territories of Syracuse and Catania, cities for which, despite their important political and economic roles in Roman and medieval Sicily, there is a lack of data for the surrounding countryside. Indeed, the interest in this question derives from the absence of research whose main aim is the understanding of the social-economic role of the city in the Mediterranean during the long transition from the Roman to the medieval period, an investigation that cannot ignore the rural areas closest to the urban centres.
