Attila - the quest for the Sword of Mars
The Huns are part of Europe's rich history. The direct Hunnic impact on Europe as it stood around 370 was massive. Attila is one of the few names from antiquity that is still instantly recognised. Three famous experts on the Huns - Otto Maenchen-Helfen (1973), Edward Thompson (1948, 1996), and Mischa Meier (2020) - contributed significantly to our knowledge, but they failed to answer the five most important questions on Attila and the Huns: - Which was the native country of the Huns? - Where are the capitals and tombs of Attila's royal ancestors - Uldin, Charaton, and Ruga? - Where did Attila's decisive Battle of the Catalaunian Plains really take place? - Where is Attila's lost capital? - Where is Attila's legendary tomb with his fabled Sword of Mars? This book provides answers to each of these five questions, while also solving other mysteries - the identity of the enigmatic river Drecon, the name of the village of Attila's sister-in-law, and the true course of Attila's Gallic campaign in 451 and his Italian campaign in 452.

Meritaton, The Unknown Queen of Akhet-Aton and Ankhesenamun, The Queen Consort of Tutankhamun
Meritaton The title of the book refers to Meritaton as the unknown Queen of Akhet-Aton. Indeed, she is difficult to define, one of her trademarks in iconographic art is the bald head and often she does not wear any cloths. The book tries to collect important information and images of the Queen that might have played a pivotal role in the transition of the falling Amarna period back to the conventional state concept under King Tutankhamun. Ankhesenamun The book deals with the life and death of Ankhesenamun, the queen consort at Tutankhamun's side, which can be reconstructed from historical sources. The question of whether she was the mysterious Dahamunzu, who wrote a strange letter to the hostile king of the Hittites, is discussed in detail. On the basis of the images that can be attributed to her, an attempt is also made to define the appearance of Ankhesenamun and to suggest possible mummies, which are discussed in the research (KV 21A or CG 61076). It is possible, however, that the burial of Ankhesenamun has not yet been found, for there are no traces that would indicate a looted tomb.
«Pendono interrotte le opere»
«Pendono interrotte le opere…», recita un celebre verso nel quarto libro dell’Eneide, quando a Cartagine, in conseguenza della passione di Didone per Enea, il fervore dei cantieri, si è improvvisamente fermato. In età contemporanea l’incompiuto, oltre che nelle arti figurative e in letteratura, suscita molto interesse nel campo dell’architettura, perché rappresentativo delle condizioni di provvisorietà e di precarietà del secolo da poco iniziato. Questo libro si concentra sulle cause e sulla percezione dei diversi monumenti incompiuti del mondo greco dall’età arcaica in poi ed esamina in dettaglio le vicende di alcuni edifici interrotti e/o contraddistinti dalla presenza di...
