  • Urban Planning in the Greek Colonies in Sicily and Magna Graecia
    Urban Planning in the Greek Colonies in Sicily and Magna Graecia (8th – 6th centuries BCE) An honors thesis for the Department of Classics Olivia E. Hayden Tufts University, 2013 Abstract: Although ancient Greeks were traversing the western Mediterranean as early as the Mycenaean Period, the end of the “Dark Age” saw a surge of Greek colonial activity throughout the Mediterranean. Contemporary cities of the Greek homeland were in the process of growing from small, irregularly planned settlements into organized urban spaces. By contrast, the colonies founded overseas in the 8th and 6th centuries BCE lacked any pre-existing structures or spatial organization, allowing the inhabitants to closely approximate their conceptual ideals. For this reason the Greek colonies in Sicily and Magna Graecia, known for their extensive use of gridded urban planning, exemplified the overarching trajectory of urban planning in this period. Over the course of the 8th to 6th centuries BCE the Greek cities in Sicily and Magna Graecia developed many common features, including the zoning of domestic, religious, and political space and the implementation of a gridded street plan in the domestic sector. Each city, however, had its own peculiarities and experimental design elements. I will argue that the interplay between standardization and idiosyncrasy in each city developed as a result of vying for recognition within this tight-knit network of affluent Sicilian and South Italian cities. This competition both stimulated the widespread adoption of popular ideas and encouraged the continuous initiation of new trends. ii Table of Contents: Abstract. …………………….………………………………………………………………….... ii Table of Contents …………………………………….………………………………….…….... iii 1.

However, subsequent refinements, such as coating the balls in breadcrumbs to make them easily portable, have given the savoury snacks a distinctly Sicilian twist—so much so that no visit to the island is complete without a taste of a crunchy, golden arancino.

    Question for written answer E-006801/2015/rev.1 to the Commission Rule 130 Ignazio Corrao (EFDD), Daniela Aiuto (EFDD), Fabio Massimo Castaldo (EFDD) and Dario Tamburrano (EFDD) Subject: Protecting the objectives of the National Operational Programme (NOP) and Regional Operational Programme (ROP) 2014-2020 'Infrastructure and networks' now that the A19 motorway in Sicily is impracticable The A19 Palermo-Catania motorway is classified as European road E932 and links European roads E90 and E45. The A19, inaugurated in 1975, has made it much faster to travel from Palermo to Catania, thus ending the isolation of inland Sicily. The A19 has not substantially changed since it was first opened, because no major upgrading has ever been carried out. The structural failure of the Himera viaduct on the A19 is the latest in a long series of adverse events. In January, the Scorciavacche bridge – which had only been inaugurated a week earlier – collapsed on the main road to Agrigento. Last summer the Petrulla viaduct collapsed on the main road between Licata and Canicattì. On that occasion four motorists were injured. After inspecting the Himera viaduct, the Italian Minister for Infrastructure said that it would take years to rebuild the 300 metres of motorway and five pillars, while ANAS (the national highways authority) speculates that EUR 30 million will be needed to restore the viaduct. Since the cohesion policy and the ERDF National Operational Programme and Regional Operational Programme for Sicily (2014-2020) base their strategy for achieving the objectives (set out in the relevant regulations) on existing strategic infrastructure, will the Commission take note of the need to provide adequate resources to safeguard the above-mentioned policies and will it take action with a view to restoring the A19? 1059693.EN PE 556.749 .

  • The Evolution of Rural and Urban Settlement in Sicily from Prehistory to Late Antiquity
    The evolution of rural and urban settlement in Sicily from Prehistory to Late Antiquity 5 June – 6 June 2015 A 2-day workshop hosted by the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh Organised by Dr Peter Morton, Prof. John Bintliff, and Dr Robert Leighton Recent work on Sicily has revitalised the study of Sicilian urbanism from prehistory down to late antiquity. This work has ignited debate about the development of urbanism in Sicily and its relationship to rural settlement across history and between cultures. It has become clear that complex questions remain about how we combine analyses of urban centres with their rural hinterlands, and how the development of these two areas is interconnected. The combination of data and analyses from diverse geographical areas and chronological periods remains central to our understanding of historical change in Sicily from prehistory to the late Roman period. This workshop will bring together scholars working on the development of urban and rural settlement in Sicily from prehistory to late antiquity. This workshop includes experienced and early career researchers, who will present work-in-progress on this topic, and the workshop provides a unique opportunity for scholars from several major projects based in the USA, Italy, Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands to exchange ideas and information directly with one another. There will be twelve papers in six sessions spread across one and half days. Each speaker is allocated 50 minutes for paper delivery and ensuing discussion. Programme Each paper is followed by 20 minutes of discussion. June 5th 14:30 – 15:00 – Welcome reception and coffee 15:00 – 15:30 – Johannes Bergemann (Goettingen) – Monti Sicani.

  • AGRIGENTO Introduction Founded in 582 BC by Rhodian and Cretan
    AGRIGENTO Introduction Founded in 582 BC by Rhodian and Cretan colonists from nearby Gela, on a site already occupied by Greeks in the 7th century BC, Agrigento (Akragas) was mainly ruled by a succession of tyrants: after Phalaris, in the first half of the 6th century, whose cruelty remained proverbial, by Theron, under whom, allied to the Syracusans, the Agrigentines won the battle against the Carthaginians at Himera, in 480, and his son Thrasydeus who, breaking the alliance with Syracuse, led to the end of his dynasty in 471 BC. In 406 BC, a new conflict with Carthage ended, after a long siege, with the taking and partial destruction of the city, which regained its freedom only thanks to the Corinthian general Timoleon, in 340 BC Contended between Carthaginians and Romans, Agrigento was definitively conquered by the Romans in 210 BC. Flourishing from this date, and until the fall of the Roman Empire, the town gradually became less populated until the 7th century: it was then reduced to a village on the hill of Girgenti (seat of the present town), which was conquered by the Arabs in 829, and later by the Normans in 1086. History The city walls, built in the 6th century BC, enclose an area, considerable for that time, of about 450 hectares, urbanized according to a rigorous orthogonal plan. Protected by the city walls, the sacred buildings of the "Valley of the Temples", all in Doric style, are for the most part arranged at a very regular distance one from the other, for a length of 2 kilometres.

  • Iconography of the Gorgons on Temple Decoration in Sicily and Western Greece
    ICONOGRAPHY OF THE GORGONS ON TEMPLE DECORATION IN SICILY AND WESTERN GREECE By Katrina Marie Heller Submitted to the Faculty of The Archaeological Studies Program Department of Sociology and Archaeology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science University of Wisconsin-La Crosse 2010 Copyright 2010 by Katrina Marie Heller All Rights Reserved ii ICONOGRAPHY OF THE GORGONS ON TEMPLE DECORATION IN SICILY AND WESTERN GREECE Katrina Marie Heller, B.S. University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, 2010 This paper provides a concise analysis of the Gorgon image as it has been featured on temples throughout the Greek world. The Gorgons, also known as Medusa and her two sisters, were common decorative motifs on temples beginning in the eighth century B.C. and reaching their peak of popularity in the sixth century B.C. Their image has been found to decorate various parts of the temple across Sicily, Southern Italy, Crete, and the Greek mainland. By analyzing the city in which the image was found, where on the temple the Gorgon was depicted, as well as stylistic variations, significant differences in these images were identified. While many of the Gorgon icons were used simply as decoration, others, such as those used as antefixes or in pediments may have been utilized as apotropaic devices to ward off evil. iii Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my family and friends for all of their encouragement throughout this project. A special thanks to my parents, Kathy and Gary Heller, who constantly support me in all I do. I need to thank Dr Jim Theler and Dr Christine Hippert for all of the assistance they have provided over the past year, not only for this project but also for their help and interest in my academic future.
