Archaeology & Pilgrimage
Engramma 204 collects researches and findings of several Italian and European scholars who have dealt with aspects related to ancient, Medieval and Modern pilgrimage along the main three European Routes (Via Romea Francigena, Via Romea Strata, Via Romea Germanica), or along other routes to the Holy Land. The issue is divided into three sections. The first one is dedicated to the European project rurAllure by Martín López Nores, José Juan Pazos Arias, Susana Reboreda Morillo, Óscar Penín Romero, which focuses on the enhancement of minor sites along the pilgrimage routes of Europe, and it is accompanied by an overview on the development of promotional activities for some Italian cases sup...
Reframing the Roman Economy
This book focuses on those features of the Roman economy that are less traceable in text and archaeology, and as a consequence remain largely underexplored in contemporary scholarship. By reincorporating, for the first time, these long-obscured practices in mainstream scholarly discourses, this book offers a more complete and balanced view of an economic system that for too long has mostly been studied through its macro-economic and large-scale – and thus archaeologically and textually omnipresent – aspects. The topic is approached in five thematic sections, covering unusual actors and perspectives, unusual places of production, exigent landscapes of exploitation, less-visible products and artefacts, and divergent views on emblematic economic spheres. To this purpose, the book brings together a select group of leading scholars and promising early career researchers in archaeology and ancient economic history, well positioned to steer this ill-developed but fundamental field of the Roman economy in promising new directions.
TRADE: Transformations of Adriatic Europe (2nd–9th Centuries AD)
Spanning the period between the 2nd and 9th centuries, this volume collects 45 papers dealing with the Adriatic area that aim to create a new dataset for the historical reconstruction of processes related to forms of settlement, aspects of production, and trade and the movement of pottery and other craft products between its two coasts.
Il viaggio e i mari degli Argonauti
Pochi viaggi nella letteratura antica hanno avuto una eco tanto forte quanto quello della nave Argo e del suo equipaggio. L’obiettivo del presente lavoro sulla saga degli Argonauti è quello di descrivere e approfondire la dimensione storico-geografica di uno di questi, che si sviluppò, stando alle testimonianze superstiti, a partire dal IV secolo a.C. L’itinerario qui analizzato è riportato, pur con singole differenze nei dettagli, da vari autori di età ellenistica e romana, Apollonio Rodio su tutti, il quale vede gli eroi, dopo aver conquistato il vello d’oro, tornare in patria.
Geographers of the Ancient Greek World: Volume 1
Ancient Greek geographical writing is represented not just by the surviving works of the well-known authors Strabo, Pausanias, and Ptolemy, but also by many other texts dating from the Archaic to the Late Antique period. Most of these texts are, however, hard for non-specialists to find, and many have never been translated into English. This volume, the work of an international team of experts, presents the most important thirty-six texts in new, accurate translations. In addition, there are explanatory notes and authoritative introductions to each text, which offer a new understanding of the individual writings and demonstrate their importance: no longer marginal, but in the mainstream of Greek literature and science. The book includes twenty-eight newly drawn maps, images of the medieval manuscripts in which most of these works survive, and a full Introduction providing a comprehensive survey of the field of Greek and Roman geography.

Virginio Gayda, the Yugoslav Question and the Italian Irredenta
This is a study of the early writings of Virginio Gayda (1885-1944), a talented but amoral Italian journalist whose career spanned two world wars. A keen observer, prolific writer and propagandist during his stint as the newspaper La Stampa’s special correspondent in Habsburg Vienna, Gayda lent his considerable skills to promote an aggressive foreign policy. No one did more than he to poison relations between the Italian and Yugoslav peoples. His is the story of a respected journalist who chose an ultranationalist path to fascism and international fame. Not uninfluenced by rank careerism and material reward he forsook his roots to embrace the antisemitic “race” laws of 1938 and Italy’s disastrous partnership with Nazi Germany.
I Collegia e le relazioni clientelari
Le associazioni professionali (collegia), da ormai due decenni, sono tornate ad essere uno dei soggetti preferenziali per l’analisi della società romana di epoca imperiale. Esse si configurano come una delle espressioni più organizzate della plebe urbana e consentono di restituire un’immagine più vivida ed eterogenea dei ceti medi e inferiori. Questo libro, inserendosi nel solco dei recenti studi sull’argomento, indaga i rapporti di clientela che coinvolsero i collegia nell’occidente romano durante i primi tre secoli della nostra era. Il legame di patronato è qui descritto privilegiando il punto di vista delle associazioni professionali, per tratteggiare, così, il rapporto osservato dal basso. Il libro è preceduto da una prefazione di Nicolas Tran.
Una società malata?
La società malata di cui tratta questo volume è caratterizzata da un’esplosione di egoismi e di individualismi. I frammenti che ne vengono analizzati, seppure apparentemente eterogenei, nella loro unicità contribuiscono a dare vita al variegato mosaico del mondo tardoantico e a farne cogliere alcune sue essenze in terreni di azione politica, amministrativa, militare e del funzionariato di stato. Quanto influisce l’involuzione morale sulla politica? Si è affievolita la speranza di una rifondazione morale? In uno scenario fatto di singoli e di gruppi che agiscono con troppa fiducia in sé stessi, con decisioni estreme segnate da particolari presunzioni, con autoesaltazione e superbia si tenta di evincere nuovi dati riguardo a percezioni, valori e comportamenti, meccanismi e logiche sociali che sembrano declinarsi in forme talvolta inaspettate soprattutto nelle opere degli autori latini dei secoli IV/VI d.C.
