Creator: Fiorillo, Rosa; Lafasciano, Luigi2026-01-01T00:00:00ZFiorillo, RosaLafasciano, LuigiIl contributo rappresenta una sintesi preliminare del PRIN 2022 – The missing link, dei dati raccolti sulle testimonianze archeologiche e monumentali delle sedi del potere in Italia meridionale tra IV e XI secolo, presentati nel corso del convegno Le corti delle autorità pubbliche in Italia tra VII e XI secolo tenutosi all’Università degli Studi di Salerno il 20 e 21 febbraio 2025. Si intende in questa sede offrire alcune riflessioni preliminari sorte da una prima analisi della documentazione relativa ad emergenze archeologiche e monumentali degli edifici afferenti alle sedi del potere a partire da un campione analizzato di 30 città nelle regioni dell’Italia meridionale. Il campione analizzato, pur nella disomogeneità qualitativa e quantitativa delle evidenze riferibili a fasi storiche e configurazioni urbane differenti, consente di avviare una riflessione sull’evoluzione dei pattern insediativi dei centri del potere, finalizzata all’individuazione e all’interpretazione di fenomeni di continuità e discontinuità nei processi di autorappresentazione del potere e nella sua articolazione spaziale in ambito urbano.Castelli Hélène, L’Héritage d’Asklépios.

Soigner par le geste en Grèce archaïque et classique, Paris, Éditions de la Sorbonne, coll. « Histoire ancienne et médiévale », 2025, 455 p., ISBN : 979-10-351-0924-0. L’ouvrage d’Hélène Castelli propose une analyse ambitieuse et stimulante du geste de soin dans le monde grec archaïque et classique, en le plaçant à la croisée des points de vue de l’histoire du geste et de celle de la médecine, envisagée à la fois comme savoir scientifique et comme pratique sociale.Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecumhttps://hdl.handle.net/10442/196452026-02-19T07:21:59Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTerapia e performance rituale nel culto di san Felice a Nola tra IV e V secoloLafasciano, Luigihttps://hdl.handle.net/10442/197172026-05-20T07:47:54Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Terapia e performance rituale nel culto di san Felice a Nola tra IV e V secolo
Creator: Lafasciano, Luigi2025-01-01T00:00:00ZLafasciano, LuigiThe series of the natalicia of St. Felix within the carmina of Paulinus of Nola, spanning from 395 to 409 AD, provides a remarkable illustration of the ritual practices within a Christian community during the early 5th century AD. This paper analyses the phenomenon through the lens of the history of religions, highlighting both the continuity and the originality of Paulinus’ performance compared to the ancient pagan rituals of incubatio. Finally, it attempts to contextualize these rituals within the archaeological and monumental landscape of the late antique sanctuary of St. Felix at Nola.Cities and Governors: The rhetoric of inscribed letters and edicts in the Greek East (1st c.

CE)Κοκκινιά, Χριστίναhttps://hdl.handle.net/10442/195612025-11-13T12:12:07Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Cities and Governors: The rhetoric of inscribed letters and edicts in the Greek East (1st c. BCE - 3rd c. CE)
Creator: Κοκκινιά, Χριστίνα2025-01-01T00:00:00ZΚοκκινιά, ΧριστίναThroughout the Roman Empire, but especially in its Greek-speaking provinces, local communities engaged in the remarkable practice of carving official letters and edicts from Roman governors into stone, displaying them permanently in a public setting. While administrative correspondence was written on perishable materials, certain documents were selected to be monumentalized in this way, becoming part of the civic landscape. What motivated cities to expend considerable resources creating these permanent records? Why were some administrative documents chosen while others were not?
The book presents the first comprehensive collection and analysis of these inscribed governmental acts, comprising case studies and a catalog of over 120 documents across 68 entries, including new translations and several new readings. Through analysis of texts dating from the first century BCE to the third century CE, Kokkinia demonstrates that local notables deliberately selected and monumentalized documents that presented governors as partners rather than autocrats. She reveals how civic elites strategically placed these inscriptions in public view to display this collaborative model of governance permanently, and to craft an ideological framework positioning themselves as co-administrators of the Empire alongside Roman officials.
Drawing on epigraphic evidence from across the eastern provinces, this volume transforms our understanding of how provincial elites actively shaped the ideology of Roman rule. It offers new insights into the negotiation of power between center and periphery, the role of inscriptions as tools for shaping broader political discourse, and the development of Greco-Roman political identity in the eastern Mediterranean.Between Locality and Diffusion: Εleusis in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter and the First-Fruits DecreeConstantakopoulou, Christyhttps://hdl.handle.net/10442/192922025-11-15T13:31:00Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Between Locality and Diffusion: Εleusis in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter and the First-Fruits Decree

Crafted from porous stone and enhanced with plaster and paint, the surviving fragments differ markedly from the marble figures of the east pediment of the same temple. Among the preserved figures of the Gigantomachy are a standing male figure, possibly representing Apollo or Dionysos, a warrior female identified as Athena, and a recumbent male, likely symbolizing the Giant Enkelados. This study aims to investigate the polychromy of the west pediment through a thorough investigation of the remnants of the original decoration. The adopted methodology includes exclusively non-destructive techniques and advanced imaging methods, such as portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, visible-induced luminescence (VIL), and 3D microscope observation. Analytical results confirmed the presence of extensive traces of once-vibrant colors on the plaster’s surface, which were often invisible to the naked eye. Specifically, our data support the employment of pigments like Egyptian blue, cinnabar, ochre-based reds and yellows, as well as copper-based green. Notably, these pigments were applied over a white calcium-rich layer, which served as a primer for the porous stone. Ongoing research on the Gigantomachy promises to deepen our understanding of color usage and painting techniques in Archaic Greek art.Modelling Ancient Pathways of Cretan Landscapes: Building Networks and Social DynamicsLaguna-Palma, DavidMoreno-Navarro, FernandoΑντωνιάδης, Βύρωνhttps://hdl.handle.net/10442/196432025-12-23T08:03:07Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Modelling Ancient Pathways of Cretan Landscapes: Building Networks and Social Dynamics

These interactions are linked to the ecological context and involve both physical and social dynamics. This study explores such interactions within ancient Crete from a long-term and multi-scalar perspective, with a specific focus on the entanglements that contributed to the formation of patterned landscapes. Methodologically, this research employs digital tools such as site mapping, GIS-based analysis and network science techniques to shed light on emerging spatial patterns and historical mobility arising from the interconnectedness of specific factors within Cretan landscapes. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the spatial network configuration of complex social landscapes in this region, which holds strategic historical connections within the broader Mediterranean context.IntroductionAneziri, SophiaGiannakopoulos, NikosΚοκκινιά, ΧριστίναΠασχίδης, ΠασχάληςΨωμά, Σελήνηhttps://hdl.handle.net/10442/196472025-12-23T10:40:47Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Introduction
