La relative abondance des dechets de faune recueillis sur le site de Montantambe a Cabariot a permis de retenir 70 ensembles en fonction de la richesse des mobiliers et de leur homogeneite chronologique. Trois phases d'occupations ont ete determinees par les fouilleurs : une phase I de 150/120 a 100 av. n. e. ; une phase II de 100 a 30 av. n. e. ; une phase III de 60 a 30 av. n. e. Les differents ensembles n'ayant pas la meme signification de part leur diversite, on a tente de ponderer ce biais en selectionnant pour chaque phase des sondages de nature differente : fosses, fosses, trous de poteaux. Il est apparu que les fosses sont les structures les plus riches, tant qualitativement que quantitativement, alors que le materiel contenu dans les fosses et les trous de poteaux est tres reduit et peu significatif, pouvant se reduire a des fragments dentaires isoles dans le cas des trous de poteaux. De maniere generale, les taux de determination sont relativement faibles, ce qui s...

Recent excavations in the necropolis of Ornavasso (VB), in north-eastern Piedmont, allowed: a) to identify the exact location of the digs carried out during the 19th century in the sites known as San Bernardo and In Persona; b) to recognize the excavation technique adopted by Enrico Bianchetti in the past, and c) to better understand the stratigraphy of the sites. The discovery of some new graves dating to a later phase testify that the funerary area of In Persona had been used for a longer period than previously thought. The burial ground of San Bernardo shows a peculiar feature which is not attested at In Persona: all the surface, indeed, yielded fragments of terracotta tiles which suggest the nearby presence of later tombs made of tiles or perhaps of a dwelling of some sort.

1.2 Forme rituali intorno alle tombe 2 e 7/2018 1.2.1 Documenti Durante la campagna di scavo del 2018, all'interno dello spazio occupato in età ellenistica dagli ambienti che costituiscono l'insula V, procedendo nell'indagine negli strati sottostanti al calpestio della frequentazione più recente, furono rinvenute alcune tombe più antiche: sei sarcofagi di adulto, di cui due con ripostiglio, databili fra VI e V secolo a.C. Fra queste le tombe 2 e 7, entrambe parzialmente violate in tempi moderni (fig. ). La tomba 2 è posta al limite fra gli ambienti Q e N relativi alla frequentazione ellenistica, coperta parzialmente dagli zoccoli murari nord e ovest dell'ambiente P. È costituita da un sarcofago in calcarenite orientato in senso est-ovest, coperto da un lastrone in pietra calcarea ritrovato ancora in situ, nonostante la tomba fosse stata violata. L'azione clandestina, infatti, era avvenuta da nord tramite un taglio laterale. All'interno del sarcofago sono stati rinvenuti pochi resti ossei sconvolti e solo una brocchetta a fasce a testimonianza dell'originario corredo (ID. T2-C1 4 ). Adiacente al lato lungo meridionale del sarcofago era collocato il ripostiglio, che, a differenza della tomba, risultava inviolato (fig. ). Esso era in parte costituito dalla sovrapposizione di lastre di pietra calcarea, in parte scavato nella roccia ed era coperto da una lastra in pietra calcarea. All'interno numerosi oggetti di corredo (US 1058): un cratere di stile misto e un vaso cantaroide a fasce rinvenuto al suo interno (ID. T2-R1 e R2), un pentolino da fuoco (ID. T2-R3), due pendenti di ambra (ID. T2-R5 e R6) e uno in pietra (R4), un pendente in osso (ID. T2-R7), una verga in bronzo (ID. T2-R8) e una fibula in argento (ID. T2-R9). Oltre questi, molto materiale ceramico frammentario e alcuni reperti ossei erano nel terreno di riempimento dello stesso ripostiglio. Ossa e una importante quantità di materiale ceramico, inoltre, sono state rinvenute al di sopra della lastra di copertura del ripostiglio: alcuni vasi integri (una coppetta concavo-convessa a vernice nera, ID. 2; una lucerna a vernice nera, ID. 3) e altri in frammenti, parzialmente ricostruibili, databili nella II metà del V secolo a.C. (fig. ). Tomba 2/2018 US 1017 lastrone di copertura in pietra calcarea US 1033 sarcofago in calcarenite US 1032 corredo (II deposizione) US 1023 riempimento del sarcofago (pochi frr. ceramici e ossa della II deposizione) Ripostiglio US 1046 lastra di copertura in pietra calcarea US 1053 struttura US 1045 riempimento del ripostiglio (frr. ceramici e poche ossa) US 1058 corredo (I deposizione = II metà del V secolo a.C.) Fuori tomba US 1034 ceramica e ossa (I deposizione = II metà del V secolo a.C.) Il complesso dei documenti testimonia che la tomba sia stata utilizzata almeno per due deposizioni. L'inumato più recente (II deposizione: individuo T2II 5 ) era collocato nel sarcofago insieme al suo corredo di cui quasi nulla è sopravvissuto a causa della violazione clandestina; l'inumato più antico (I deposizione, individuo T2I), spostato dall'originaria posizione nel sarcofago, era stato accantonato all'esterno della tomba insieme al corredo. L'analisi degli oggetti rinvenuti nel ripostiglio e la cronologia attribuitagli spingono a ritenere che il pentolino da fuoco, il cratere e il vaso cantaroide appartenessero alla I deposizione e fossero dunque un corredo supplementare rispetto a quello originariamente posto nel sarcofago. Ipotizziamo, invece, che gli oggetti di ornamento presenti nel ripostiglio, sempre appartenenti alla I deposizione, fossero originariamente nel sarcofago 4 Per l'analisi dei singoli reperti si veda infra il catalogo a cura di V. Stasi. 5 La sigla T2II indica: tomba 2, seconda deposizione, ossia la deposizione più recente. ID. 16 (Tav. 6) Skyphos tipo attico US 1034: 1 frr. US 1045: 6 frr. US 1064: 6 frr. Quasi interamente ricomponibile, lacunoso di un'ansa; diffuse concrezioni; vernice poco lucente. D. orlo 9,6; H 7,5; D. piede 5,6. Impasto di colore omogeneo camoscio; inclusi e vacuoli assenti. Orlo indistinto lievemente assottigliato; vasca rastremata nella parte inferiore; piede ad anello; tra vasca e piede breve gola di raccordo; anse a bastoncello orizzontali. Corpo quasi interamente verniciato, fondo, all'esterno, risparmiato.

The inscriptions on two omphalos cups from the Brandopferplatz in San Giorgio di Valpoli- cella (Verona) are presented here. The first case reads two incomplete words, the meaning of which unfortunately remains obscure. The second case presents a two-letter abbreviation. The palaeographic characteristics allow a general chronological classification in the Second Iron Age. In contrast, the typology of the artefacts allows them to be placed between the late 6th and early 5th century BC.

IT Riassunto1. Testi in lingua latina (CIL X 8318.7494.7495) e in lingua greca (IG XIV 601.602.953) offrono informazioni esclusive e fondamentali sulla storia politica e istituzionale di Melita nel periodo compreso tra i secoli I a.C. e II d.C. Dall'analisi di tali documenti emerge il quadro di un'isola, che da un lato è ormai perfettamente inserita nel processo di municipalizzazione e di integrazione nell'amministrazione provinciale operato dal governo romano; dall'altro lato Melita e i suoi abitanti dimostrano anche la volontà di coltivare e preservare aspetti linguistici e istituzionali legati al sostrato culturale punico e siceliota. Parole chiave: provincia Sicilia; municipalizzazione; cariche cittadine; elites locali; epigrafia latina; epigrafia greca. EN Epigraphic Evidence on the Institutions of Melita (Malta) in Roman Times EN Abstract. Texts in Latin (CIL X 8318.7494.7495) and Greek (IG XIV 601.602.953) offer exclusive and fundamental information on the political and institutional history of Melita in the period between the 1st century BC and the 2nd century AD. From the analysis of these documents, a picture emerges of an island that, on the one hand, is already well involved in the process of municipalization and integration into the provincial administration carried out by the Roman government; on the other hand, Melita and its inhabitants also demonstrate a willingness to cultivate and preserve linguistic and institutional aspects linked to the Punic and Siceliote cultural background.

The Roman penetration in the Eastern Adriatic in the 3rd – 1st century B.C. was preceded by the Greek colonization, and indeed Rome intervened several times to protect the Greek colonies, but also its own interests because of its expansionist ambitions aimed at gaining new territories to the east of Italy. The gradual subjugation of the Illyrian peoples had as its final goal the foundation of the colonies, and only then did the Romanization of the province begin. The archaeological data of the period from the 3rd to the 1st century B.C. are not yet such as to fill all the gaps in our knowledge of the historical process of transition from protohistory to the Roman period of the Eastern Adriatic. The relationship between Romans and natives immediately after the foundation of the colonies is not very clear from the archaeological record. There are not many sites investigated, and we are still largely based on impressions derived from fragments of knowledge, but the results of recent archaeological research
are slowly changing that. There were significant differences in the relationship between Romans and the various groups of natives: the Romans did not act uniformly towards all of them, but according to the political and military situation in each subregion of the Eastern Adriatic.

2025, Landscape 6. Emptyscapes, marginal landscapes, and revealed landscapes. Conference Siena 14.-16.04.2025

The necropolises of Cerveteri represent an outstanding legacie of the Etruscan civilization. Scientific studies focus largely on the well known suburban areas of Cerveteri, primarily on the Banditaccia- and the Monte Abatone plateau. Outside these areas, the presence of other necropolis areas is often indicated, but these have hardly been researched except for highlighted individual funerary contexts.
The aim of the paper is to present partial work from my dissertation project, which aims to record as completely as possible the necropolises of the sub- and peri-urban area of Caeres with a diachronic evaluation of the topographical development of the burial grounds. Larger excavations as a source are lacking, particularly in the areas outside the large suburban necropolises, which is why remote sensing was carried out across the entire area. These provide an interesting insight into a number of smaller, unpublished and partly unknown necropolis areas, the relationship of which to the urban area of Caeres as well as to smaller settlements within the Ager Caeretanus appears unclear.
The areas are now in very different conditions, this requires the use of many different remote sensing methods, which have been tested and further developed in campaigns of the last two years. This includes large-scale investigations using aerial archaeology, geophysical investigations, extensive surveys as well as the analysis of the data using a GIS-based Database. The aim of the presentation is to present these methods as well as emphasize how they complement each other as effectively as possible using the case studies of the necropolises of Macchia della Signora and Castel Dannato.

2025, Living in a World of Change: New Perspectives on Cultural Exchange and Transfer in the Hellenistic Mediterranean

This paper discusses phenomena of culture formation and culture change in the Verona district (Veneto, NE Italy) between the 4th-1st cent. B.C. on the basis of material culture, ancient written sources, anthropological investigations, and isotopic studies. Research focuses on the Cenomani, suggested by the ancient written sources to have been Gaulish invaders of the Lombardy and Veneto regions in the 4th-3rd cent. B.C. and then, together with the Veneti – the inhabitants of the Veneto region, as allies of Rome. The analysis of the interaction between the Cenomani, Veneti and Rome allows us to discern two different paths of cultural change in the case-study area, directly/indirectly influenced by Rome, that led to the deconstruction of the previous Cenomanic socio-political structure and identity. On the one hand, south of Verona, where the Cenomani seem to have settled at least from the 3rd cent. B.C., the introduction of a distinctively Roman economy seems to have gradually led to the emergence of subaltern Cenomanic classes which took the place of the warrior elite. On the other hand, at Verona, the increasing Roman presence and influence probably led to the collapse of at least part of the local Gaulish elite in favour of the Romans. The Augustan period marks the end of the Cenomanic identity in the case-study area.

Cappadocia, the north-easternmost province of the Roman Empire was established in AD 17 by the emperor
Tiberius, after the death of Cappadocia's last king, Archelaus. This paper discusses settlement patterns, city
foundations, the absence, at least during the 1st century AD, of an extended network of cities and the development
of local communities in the region under the Romans. The establishment and the role of the Imperial Cult in this
remote province is also addressed. This paper further attempts to trace the emergence of urbanisation and civic
monumentality in Cappadocia, through the introduction of monumental architecture and prominent infrastructure
within the major Cappadocian cities - and to understand whether Cappadocia followed, or stood aside from, the
architectural/urbanistic developments launched in the rest of the Roman world.

Cervaria Pr., Gallia Narbonensis, present-day Cerbère/Cervera, department of Western Pyrenees, France. This promontory is mentioned twice by Pomponius Mela. The first mention, in his Chorographia 2.84, shows that the place constituted the natural boundary between Hispania Tarraconensis and Gaul: '[…] between spurs of the Pyrenees, come the saltless Port Venus and the district of Cervaria, the boundary of Gaul'. The second reference, 2.89, gives a more physical description of the place: 'If, however, you coast along the shores, right after Cervaria comes the cliff that thrusts the Pyrenees out into the sea, next the Ticis River near Rhoda, next Clodianum near Emporiae, and then Mt. Jupiter'. Since the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659, Cerbère/Cervera has marked the boundary between France and Spain because Pomponius Mela's works were undoubtedly used to justify and define the boundaries between the two nations.

Between the 4th and the 2nd cent. B.C. local communities in Northern Etruria had to deal with various infrastructural
changes, due to the military and political pressure exerted by Rome on their territories, and the restructuring of the Mediterranean
economic network. The present paper focuses on the resilience of these communities, considered as their response to the
aforementioned stress factors. The cities of Volterra and Chiusi were chosen as case studies, as their Hellenistic necropoleis have
yielded a rich epigraphic record and the settlement patterns of their territories are well known through excavations and
archaeological surveys. The analysis of the geographic connectivity between the respective city and minor settlements was
combined in a multi-layered network with that of kinship derived from epigraphic sources. A Social Network Analysis (SNA)
was then performed in three different chronological phases to detect diachronic changes. This led to the detection of complex and
diverse patterns of resilience in Volterra and Chiusi, generally indicating a non-linear restructuring of social ties and territorial
organisation with the aim to preserve pre-existing power relations.

The Roman conquest of Gaul initiated a prolonged and uneven process of cultural transformation, often framed in terms of "Romanization." This term, while widely used, encompasses a complex spectrum of interactions between Roman imperial power and indigenous Gallic traditions. Central to this process is the interplay between cultural imposition (the “push” of Roman norms) and voluntary adoption (the “pull” of Roman prestige). While the mechanisms and extent of Romanization remain debated, archaeological and literary evidence clearly indicate that Roman cultural influence became increasingly visible in Gaul over time.

In June 2017, the DICAM of the University of Messina carried out a new campaign of archaeological excavations at the site of Blanda Julia (Tortora, CS). The investigations concerned the areas partially excavated in 2016 to better understand the development of the city Forum (areas 1000, 3000 and 4000), and a new area (6000) between the Plateia A and the three buildings on the south side of the Forum (temples A, B and the Capitolium).These new investigations helped us to define the Forum plan and its relationship with the residential area and, as regards area 6000, to shed new light on the archaic phase of the settlement on the Palecastro hill.

The volume aims to provide a more accurate reconstruction of the ancient landscape through a comparison between the research of young scholars and that of more experienced figures, offering an overview of the current state of research and the methods applied in various archaeological contexts around the Mediterranean.

2025, The Book of Cernunnos (ISBN-10: 0988900971)

This essay takes the recent monograph, Cernunnos, le dioscure sauvage: Recherches comparatives sur la divinité dionysiaque des Celtes (Paris, 2010) by two renowned scholars of Celtic art history and literatures, Daniel Gricourt and Dominique Hollard, as its point of departure, proceeding to discuss the developing understanding of Cernunnos away from the standard interpretation as a barely documented Gaulish deity toward a more complex analysis of his layered connection to medieval Celtic lore. In addition to a critical review of the monograph, the essay also addresses the dynamics through which such scholarly works might be understood or disseminated in Neopagan communities, and the ways in which popular perceptions of Cernunnos resemble those of Celticist scholarship or differ from them. Finally, a few suggestions on Neopagan practice are made.

L'auteur livre les raisons qui poussent à voir dans ce surnom gaulois, peut-être à valeur théonymique, une rémanence de l’ancien culte du Mercurius gallicus survivant en pleine époque impériale.

Son but est de recueillir et d'étudier toutes les inscriptions religieuses des divinités antiques celtiques en vue de l'édition d'un corpus systématique (Corpus-F.E.R.C.AN.) des sources épigraphiques (inscriptions monumentales, « petite épigraphie » -instrumentum) relatives aux religions celtiques antiques. Depuis 1998, les chercheurs qui participent à ce programme se réunissent pour des ateliers (Workshops) qui sont l'occasion d'échanges fructueux sur plusieurs thèmes en relation plus ou moins étroite avec le but éditorial collectif du corpus F.E.R.C.AN. Les organisateurs de ces rencontres se sont à chaque fois efforcés de publier les exposés dans un recueil d'actes particulier. Sept volumes ont paru jusqu'ici: Das internationale, transdisziplinäre Forschungsprojekt Fontes epigraphici religionum Celticarum antiquarum (F.E.R.C.AN.) ist ein an der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften angesiedeltes Projekt (s. URL: www. oeaw.ac.at/praehist/fercan). Es steht unter der Leitung der Prähistorischen Kommission und deren Obmännern (zur Zeit emer. o. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Herwig Friesinger und emer. o. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Gerhard Dobesch). Als Koordinator fungiert seit Projektbeginn im Jahre 1998 Herr Ass.-Prof. Dr. Manfred Hainzmann. Ziel des Unternehmens ist die globale Erfassung, Auswertung und Neuedition (Corpus-F.E.R.C.AN.) der epigraphischen Quellen (Monumentalund Kleininschriften) zu den antik-keltischen Religionen. Seit 1998 versammeln sich die Projektmitarbeiter alljährlich zu einem Workshop. Nebst editionstechnischen Fragen dienen diese dem fruchtbaren Austausch über bestimmte Schwerpunktthemen, die mit dem Problemkreis des Projektes in Verbindung stehen. Die Veranstalter dieser Werkstattgespräche haben sich um die Veröffentlichung der Vorträge in eigenen Tagungsakten bemüht. Bisher sind folgende sieben Tagungsbände erschienen:

This proposal aims to present the research conducted on a unique series of sacred contexts that characterize the coasts of the southern Adriatic, particularly Puglia, Italy. These sites, which have been the subject of recent interdisciplinary investigations, exhibit striking topographical and religious similarities, suggesting a shared foundation of cultic practices that have played a significant role in the region's history. A distinguishing feature of these contexts is the emphasis placed on writing, manifested in various forms such as rock inscriptions, graffiti, and votive tablets. The extended period of human presence at these sites allows for a broader examination of the evolution of cultic practices. Riassunto. La proposta intende illustrare gli studi svolti su una peculiare serie di contesti sacri che caratterizza le coste dell'Adriatico meridionale, in particolare quella pugliese, oggetto di nuove indagini interdisciplinari. In tali siti ricorrono diverse analogie riscontrabili sia sul piano topografico sia sul piano religioso: hanno infatti condiviso un sostrato comune di pratiche cultuali e tra queste ebbe particolare rilevanza l'atto scrittorio. Il lungo periodo di frequentazione consente inoltre di delineare, all'interno di una cornice più ampia, l'evoluzione della prassi cultuale.

Si discute dell'incendio che devastò la colonia romana di Augusta Taurinorum (Torino) nel 69 d.C., l'anno dei quattro imperatori romani. Nella città erano stati acquartierate le truppe ausiliarie dei Batavi e la Legione XIV. Dopo una lite sorta tra i soldati, Vitellio ordinò alla legione di lasciare la città. La notte che la legione partì, i fuochi dei bivacchi lasciati accesi provocarono l'incendio. In questo articolo vi mostro come la vicenda è stata riportata in letteratura, travisando il testo di Tacito che narra l'accaduto, per dar la colpa ai Batavi. Ed ancora adesso c'è chi scrive che sono stati i Batavi ad incendiar Torino. La ragione è che non si leggono più le fonti primarie, come Tacito. Un commento a proposito di un libro recentemente pubblicato (febbraio 2025) da Mondadori è necessario.

2025, LA PRESENCIA CAMPAMENTAL EN EL ENTORNO DE CAESARAUGUSTA EN EL CAMBIO DE ERA. ¿UNA VANGUARDIA OLVIDADA?

Desde la llegada de las tropas romanas a Hispania, muchas de las historias no contadas por sus legiones han ido apareciendo unas veces de forma causal, otras tras años de investigaciones, a través de los hallazgos de los múltiples campamentos distribuidos por toda la geografía hispana. Y de entre todos estos enclaves, este trabajo intentará arrojar un poco de luz en el estudio de estos castra en uno de los lugares más tempranamente romanizados de la Península Ibérica: Caesaraugusta. Dicho esto, quiere este artículo arrojar un poco de luz a esta búsqueda, pues si bien no cabe duda de la indiscutible actividad bélica acontecida en sus tierras, tales como las Guerras Celtibéricas, Guerra Sertoriana, etc., hasta el día de hoy todavía no ha sido posible confirmar de forma fehaciente la presencia de ninguno de estos campamentos en dichos lares.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo compreender o processo de construção do profissionalismo na agronomia. Parte-se do pressuposto que diferentes segmentos da classe trabalhadora vivenciam o trabalho de maneira diversa. Assim, trabalhadores com maiores níveis de qualificação e pertencentes às classes médias percebem e agem de maneira distinta em relação ao trabalho do que trabalhadores de chão-de-fábrica, por exemplo, que se configuram em sujeitos amplamente estudados nas ciências sociais. Assim, parte-se de um estudo sobre a formação de entidades representativas destes profissionais, para posteriormente, através de relatos de profissionais com larga experiência, construirmos a argumentação sobre os elementos que constituem este conceito de profissionalismo – proteção do mercado de trabalho, relação com clientes, relação com o Estado, o conhecimento específico dentre outros fatores. Também se investiga, em nível mais elementar, a construção de hierarquizações dentro do grupo profissional, no caso a hierarquia de gênero, a fim de demonstrarmos as heterogeneidades e as diferentes valorizações simbólicas existentes entre os profissionais. A construção de uma ideologia do profissionalismo é analisada a fim de demonstramos as diversas possibilidades de manifestação do trabalho enquanto categoria humana.

Tanais, the town located in the steppe zone of the northern coast of the Sea of Azov, was founded at the end of the 1st / the beginning of the 2nd quarter of the third century BC. At the end of the first century BC, Tanais was destroyed, rebuilt in the first century AD, and existed until the mid-third century AD, however the settlement in this area existed until the turn of the 3rd and 4th quarters of the fifth century AD. During the four seasons of excavations of the Trench XXV (2016–2019) at Tanais, the number of 42,217 animal remains were discovered. These elements came from wild and domestic mammals, birds, amphibians and fish. The remains of domestic mammals included many dog elements accounted for 17.4% of all the remains in this group dated to the Hellenistic times, and only 11.7% dated to the Roman period. The dog bones were found in the layers and pits located in the defensive ditch and represented all the skeleton elements. This paper discusses all dog remains, including the dog remains described during the excavations and in the course of the preliminary analysis as “the dog burials” that were preserved in the material as more or less complete skeletons in Hellenistic and Roman structures. Additionally, the dog burial from the earlier excavated Pit 17/2003 was reexamined. The morphological and statistical analysis showed that the dogs represented three different morphotypes. The measurements showed a change in the size of the dogs between the Hellenistic and Roman times with a swift towards larger individuals. Large breeds were commonly used as shepherd dogs, which was probably reflected in the material from Roman times. Such a change can be connected with arriving of nomadic tribes. Additionally, at least one of the pits dated to the Hellenistic period contained the dog’s burial, together with bird bones and a goat horn, a ritual practice used in the ancient Greek construction of public buildings and fortifications.

In the Roman epigraphic monuments of the Occidental Lusitania we can see the oriental influence in the adoption of Greek names by the people there mentioned, but this is a cultural influence not the sign of the existence of oriental people in the province. Nevertheless the most relevant relation with the oriental culture is patented at the domain of the religion, especially in the cult of Cybele, as Mother of the Gods. But we can also see the oriental influences in the mosaics.
