This book analyzes ancient tombs in Eastern Libya, from the Archaic phase to Late Roman times. Despite plundering, these ornate structures reveal funerary competition, spatial organization, and lost rituals. The book reconstructs the social history of ancient Cyreneans through their ostentatious funerary culture.

The Central Adriatic Apennines (roughly modern Abruzzo) was occupied in antiquity by Italic populations variously termed ‘Sabelli’, ‘Sabellics’ or ‘Sabellians’. The region in general has received little scholarly attention internationally compared with Tyrrhenian Italy, although the last three decades have been very rich in excavations and finds.
Pathbreaking essays challenging the traditional focus on the eastern Mediterranean in the Hellenistic period and on Rome in the West.

Buildings and landscapes are traditionally analysed with their construction and use in mind, with less interest shown in their destruction or â ~endâ (TM). This innovative book, canvassing the opinions of historians, archaeologists, and other professionals, highlights the complexity of destruction both as a concept and a phenomenon. Drawing from a variety of time periods and cultures, it explores the multiplicity of meanings that destruction can have, and the many complications this creates. Included in this are the politics behind how destruction is remembered (or forgotten), the logistical and ethical dilemmas it presents us with, and the power tensions and transitions that often accompany it. One of the most fundamental themes explored in this book is what destruction is: who defines it and how we choose to recognise it, and why these questions need to be debated. It clearly demonstrates the importance of understanding the complexity of destructive acts, and argues that the best way to achieve this is by establishing channels of dialogue between archaeologists and other disciplines.
Questo volume testimonia la continuità di lavoro e ricerca archeologiche sul territorio abruzzese, al di là delle riforme amministrative che dal gennaio 2016 hanno segnato a più riprese la vita degli istituti periferici del Ministero. La presentazione dei lavori si ferma volutamente all’anno 2015, quindi al momento in cui la Soprintendenza archeologica dell’Abruzzo ha formalmente cessato le proprie attività, anche se molti interventi che vengono presentati hanno continuato ad arricchirsi con nuove ricerche fino ad assumere, in molti casi, la veste finale di luoghi fruibili al pubblico e quindi rispettando in pieno il mandato normativo del Codice dei Beni Culturali e del Paesaggio sec...
