This paper proposes a focus on the hinterland of Crotone (Calabria) during the Ro-man period. The inhabitants of the old chora of Crotone, originally a Greek colony, shared Greek, local and Roman cultures. By analysing the destiny of some people living in the area, their identities will be discussed.
Epigraphy and archaeology give some interesting clues to understand who the inhabitants of the Crotone’s territory were, for instance Amethustus, buried in Farina, or Oecius, who dedicates an inscription to Hera, and not to Juno, in the 2nd c. AD. Some insights on urban sites will also provide information to enlighten the identity of their inhabitants: in Crotone itself, but also in the sanctuary of Capo Colonna, and in the nearby city of Petelia, whose population is more composed by Bruttians.
This will allow to demonstrate that the role of each city during the first contacts with Rome have clearly influenced the composition of the local cultural identities for the next centuries.

Elles se tarissent quand on aborde la période romaine, après la transformation de Crotone en colonie en 194 av. J.-C. Pour compléter l’histoire de Crotone de son entrée dans la sphère d’influence de Rome à la fin de la période impériale, c’est à l’archéologie qu’il faut faire appel. Au cœur de ce livre, l’archéologie du territoire est mise en dialogue avec celles des pôles urbains de la région (Crotone, Capo Colonna et Petelia) et avec l’insertion de la cité dans les réseaux culturels et économiques régionaux et méditerranéens.

Built shortly after the middle of the 2nd century AD at the center of the ancient city, these small-scale thermae conform to the traditional layout and include the characteristic rooms of the Roman bathhouses of the Imperial period. Several nearby kilns were used to produce lime for the construction of the baths. Converted into a rubbish dump after they were taken out of service, they yielded a rich assemblage related to the use of the baths. The abandonment of the bathing building took place shortly after the middle of the 3rd century AD, as evidenced by a treasure of 201 Antoninians hidden in the sewer of the baths. The book concludes with a discussion on the Imperial period in Eretria, bathing practices and their evolution as well as thermal baths in Greece.

The Greek foundations of the Archaic and Classical periods thus lasted for several centuries, despite periods of crisis, warlike episodes, and strong changes in geopolitics.
This study examines the very diverse economic and political fate of three Greek port cities during the Hellenistic period: Metaponto, Patras, and Thasos. To this end, the port assets of these three cities will be analysed, in connection with the organisation of their territories in the hinterland (natural resources, typology of commercial infrastructures, communication routes to the ports, etc.), which are sometimes slightly forgotten in port studies. On a broader scale, the question of maritime and land relations with neighbouring regions will also be discussed. These archaeological data will be compared with ancient textual sources and, more historically, with the political and cultural relations between these cities and the various forces at work in the Mediterranean.
The guiding idea of this presentation is therefore to understand if and why the port assets of these three cities influenced their history in a Mediterranean that was in the midst of political change between the 3rd century BC and the beginning of the imperial period. Did a good port guarantee that a city would survive or regenerate despite conflicts? If not, are the causes of the decline related to port aspects (such as silting), or territorial, and/or economic questions ? Should we rather look for political reasons? By adopting a diachronic and comparative approach that mixes archaeology, geography, and history, it will be possible to answer some of these questions.
