Statue di togati dall'area del Tempio Romano: ipotesi di restituzione dell'arredo statuario
No full textIl contributo esamina i resti delle sculture in marmo messi in luce negli scavi effettuati nel tempo nell'area del Tempio Romano. Si tratta di statue di personaggi togati e in nudità ideale, che testimoniano ulteriormente il carattere fortemente rappresentativo del complesso.

No full textThe study of the structures and systems of water supply in Illyrian and Epirotes cities during the Hellenistic period is a topic not yet systematically analyzed. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to draw an overall picture of the main buildings intended for the supply and the conservation of the water in this vast territory, in order to outline the principles followed in ancient times in the construction and location of water works of public value, like cisterns and fountains, which often assume monumental characteristics of exceptional urban importance.
Particular attention will be paid to the large fountain of Apollonia and to the cisterns of Byllis and Orraon, three buildings characterized by specific urban positions and peculiar shapes that highlight in different ways the control exercised by the polis in the management of water resources and the variety of architectural solutions used in the Illyric-Epirote area for water collection and distributio
Architettura e tecniche costruttive ad Agrigento tra età ellenistica e prima età romana
No full textDalla recente ripresa degli studi da parte del Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Ingegneria Civile e dell’Architettura (DICAR) del Politecnico di Bar sul complesso porticato a nord del bouleuterion e presso l’agorà superiore, oltre ad una generale rilettura del monumento nelle sue diverse fasi, sono emersi alcuni dati rilevanti riguardo all’architettura e alle tecniche costruttive della città tra l’età ellenistica avanzata e la prima età romana. L’area offre infatti numerosi spunti di riflessione e una discreta quantità di informazioni utili alla ricomposizione di un frammento significativo della città ellenistico-romana. Il periodo in esame è quello di una generale fase di monumentalizzazione dell’impianto urbano, che si dispiega in una serie di imponenti terrazzamenti, realizzati in periodi successivi e finalizzati non solo ad ampliare lo spazio a disposizione per le nuove costruzioni, ma ad incrementare la visibilità della città stessa, sull’onda di analoghe realizzazioni urbane del mondo ellenistico
Il teatro ellenistico di Mytilene: note preliminari per la sua ricostruzione
No full textThe fame of the theatre of Mytilene(Lesbos) is due to Plutarch, who tells how Pompey, during his visit to the polis in 63 BC, greatly impressed by the monument, ordered his architects to take it as a model for the realization of a permanent theatre that he intended to build in Rome. For a long time scholars have discussed on what were the architectural characteristics that Pompey had so much admired; nevertheless, in the face of many advanced hypotheses, a systematic study of the architectural remains of the theatre, in cooperation between the Polytechnic of Bari and the Archaeological Ephorate of Lesbos, begun only in 2015. The new survey and the identification of the architectural fragments have allowed the reconstruction of the general plan and of the skené elevation, already in the Hellenistic age on two orders, completely of marble. The reconstruction permit to understand what impressed Pompey so much and to assign the theatre of Mytilene and its skené a key role in the formation of the model of the Roman theatre
Ceramic trade and distribution at the intersection of the eastern and western Mediterranean in the 5th – 7th centuries: new evidence from the Roman forum at Butrint (Buthrotum)
No full textOn the Straits of Otranto in front of the island of Corfu, ancient Butrint served a fundamental role in Mediterranean seaborne trade, occupying an intermediate zone in the shipping routes between Rome and the eastern Mediterranean. The city was generally prosperous throughout history, but there were two moments of remarkable economic growth: the first was in the Augustan and High Imperial periods, stemming from the economic activities associated with the pax Romana, and the second was in Late Antiquity and the Byzantine periods, when it became an episcopal see, with monumental religious buildings, including basilicas and the baptistery. The scale of trade is reflected in the wide-range of pottery imported during this latter period (4th-7th centuries AD). The rise and high-level of imports arose from complex economic and cultural developments linked to imperial and provincial elite interests, involving local, regional and Mediterranean-wide dynamics. Starting with an analysis of ceramics from select deposits excavated by the Roman Forum Excavations Project at Butrint (University of Notre Dame, Prof. D.R. Hernandez; Albanian Institute of Archaeology, Prof. Dh. Çondi), we examine trends in imports at Butrint during Late Antiquity, with particular attention to the quantitative variations between eastern and western goods and their influences on local material culture
