This volume contains studies of the destruction, survival and recovery of cities in the ancient Greek World. After an introduction outlining the approach of the studies (Fachard, Harris), there are chapters on the contribution of microstratigraphy and micromorphology (Karkanas), on Miletus in 494 BC (Lohmann), Athens in 480/79 BC (Camp), Selinus in 409 BC (Marconi), Methone in 354 (Bessios, Athanassiadou, Noulas), the destruction of cities in Northern Greece (Gatzolis, Psoma), the destructions of Eretria (Ackermann), the earthquake at Rhodes around 227 B.C. (Bresson), Epeiros in 167 B.C. (Forsén), Corinth in 146 B.C. (Williams, Bookidis, Slane, Tracy), Athens in 86 B. C. (Rogers), the Herulian destruction of Athens in 267/8 AD (Chioti), and a comparison of military devastation in the Greek and Roman worlds (Binltliff). The volume is accompanied by an online catalogue of all literary evidence for destruction of Greek cities with summaries of archaeological evidence.

Scholars have generally assumed that Selinunte’s position as the westernmost Greek colony in Sicily and its proximity to North Africa favoured this city’s relations with Carthage and the Phoenician and Punic settlements on the island. Based on the analysis of the Phoenician and Punic pottery from the Institute of Fine Arts–NYU and University of Milan excavations in the main urban sanctuary, this article shows the extent of these trade networks in comparison with the data available from other Greek cities in Sicily and suggests the possible use of some ceramic containers in ritual activities performed in this sacred area. In addition, a few pottery fragments suggest the occasional consumption of wine and food according to Phoenician and Punic practices.

] Il Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche è impegnato da anni in attività di ricerca fina-lizzate allo scavo, alla documentazione e alla conservazione del patrimonio culturale. Sfogliando le pagine di questo libro si percorre un viaggio stimolante alla scoperta dei progetti di ricerca svolti negli ultimi anni dal CNR in quei siti di lunga tradizione di studi che si trovano in Italia e nel bacino del Mediterraneo, ma anche in quei luoghi posti in Paesi di più recente interesse e spesso di difficile accesso come il Libano, l'Algeria e il Perù, dove l'opera dei ricercatori acquista un valore ancora più significativo concorrendo non solo alla creazione di nuova conoscenza, ma anche alla crescita culturale del Paese e al coinvolgimento delle comunità locali nella valorizzazione, anche turistica, del proprio patrimonio.

"""""This project is dedicated to the musical culture of Selinus, one of the most important Western Greek cities, noted for its investment in cult and religious practice. The project is part of a broader research, concerning the appreciation of the Ancient Greek musical heritage in its historical context, identified here with the musical history of a Greek city in the West from the Archaic down to the Hellenistic period. The study combines the methods of archeology and musicology towards the analysis of the ancient remains and depictions of musical instruments and performances, considering their findspot and context of use, in order to place musical activities in a well-defined space and occasion and to interpret the cultural, religious and social meaning of Ancient Greek musical performances.
It will analyze the historical context of music and its performance at Selinus, in relation to political and social changes. It will review the archaeological documentation in order to understand the role of Selinus in the field of the art of music in the Ancient Greek world. The study aims to analyze the musical performances in the sanctuaries of this Greek city and their relationship with ritual and cult. It will also include a virtual reconstruction of the musical instruments and an interactive map of the musical performances in the various sacred areas of Selinus.
The project will be carried out in an institution that is world leading in both fields of Art History and Conservation (New York University). It will involve active training of the main researcher on multidisciplinary research tools, including Ancient Greek Art and Archaeology, and 3D Modeling applied to the reconstruction of musical instruments. The project will improve the excellence of the return host (Beni culturali-University of Bologna) in the field of Archaeomusicology. The project will raise the prospects of the main researcher (Dott. Angela Bellia) to reach a prominent academic position in her field of research and teaching.
