Received: 15/11/2017 Accepted: 22/05/2018 *Corresponding author: Paolo Mazzoleni ([email protected]) ABSTRACT In this work we report the results of the analysis of clay and sand raw materials collected from the Corfu island (Kanoni area, Ionian Sea). The mineralogical, petrographic and chemical data were compared with those of some archaic „Corinthian B‟ amphorae (late 6th – mid 5th c.BC) found in the archeological excavations at Gela (Sicily), and with those of local common wares and tiles from Sibari (ancient Sybaris/Thurii), in southern Italy. Indeed, the „Corinthian B‟ transport amphorae, largely diffused in the Mediterranean basin during archaic and classical periods, are supposed to come from several possible centers, including mainly Corfu and Sibari. The combination of both chemical and petrographic investigations strongly supports the archaeological hypothesis of the presence of Corfu products among the archaic „Corinthian B‟ amphorae from Gela.

HERODOTUS TODAY 1.1 In a review article called 'A Triumph for Herodotus', Peter Green largely attributes the resurgence of Herodotean studies over the last forty years or so to our emancipation from the narrower model of historiography inspired by Thucydides. 1 We have been gradually liberated to experience the pleasure of Herodotus' text, and among the general educated public the Histories have increasingly been treated as a big book we carry around in our heads, keep on our table , refer to, study, and above all enjoy. Indeed, it is not unlikely for journalists and travelling intellectuals nowadays to pack a copy of the Histories in their bags.2 1.2 Herodotus' work is a history of the interactions between the Greek city­ states and their powerful Near Eastern neighbours that culminated in the Persian invasions of Greece in 490 and 480 BCE . It goes as far back as possible to explore the causes of this conflict, and it traces the rise of the Persians to be masters of a large multi-ethnic empire that conquered, or 1 Green (2003).

The author proposes to identity the exact route of the road as it passed through Kleonaian territoryby combining the evidence of ancient testimonia, the identification of ancient roadside features, the ac- counts of early travelers,and autopsy.The act of tracing the road serves to emphasizethe prominentposition of the city Kleonaion this interstateroute, which had significant consequences both for its own history and for that of neighboring states. INTRODUCTION Much of the historyof the polis of Kleonaiwas shapedby its location on a numberof majorroutes from the Isthmus and Corinth into the Peloponnese.1The most importantof thesewas a majorartery for north- south travel;from the city of Kleonai,the immediatedestinations of this roadwere Corinthto the north and Argos to the south.It is in connec- tion with its roadsthat Kleonaiis most often mentionedin the ancient sources,and likewise,modern topographical studies of the areahave fo- cusedon definingthe coursesof these routes,particularly that of the main 1.

    BILG - Inscriptiones Graecae et Latinae Bruttiorum A digital corpus in EpiDoc of Roman Law inscriptions Daria Spampinato, [email protected] ISTC-CNR Semantic Technology Lab, Catania, Italy The BILG project aims to provide an online EpiDoc TEI XML digital corpus of legal inscriptions found in Bruttium Italy. After the publication in 1883 of volume X of CIL in which Mommsen collected the inscriptions from Bruttium, several epigraphic texts of interest to Roman Law were discovered. These documents are little known, because they have never been digitized and are either unpublished or published only in local editions. The BILG project aims to fill this gap by making a corpus of Roman law tituli from Bruttium accompanied by appropriate epigraphic, archaeological and legal contents available online.

This is particular­ ly true for the classical period wnere the sources are few and scattered. For the archaic period the situation has been somewhat better. One of the first attempts toward the study of Corinthian 1 history was made in 1876 by Ernst Curtius. This brief art­ icle had no pretensions to a thorough investigation of the subject, merely suggesting lines of inquiry and stressing the importance of numisihatic evidence. A contribution of 2 similar score was undertaken by Erich Wilisch in a brief discussion suggesting some of the problems and possible solutions.

This study evaluates the potential contribution of the fully coupled approach in 25 extended-range mesoscale hydrometeorological ensemble forecasts. Previous studies have 26 shown, for deterministic simulations, that the effect of fully coupling for short-range forecasts 27 is minor compared to other sources of uncertainty, however, it becomes not negligible when 28 increasing the forecast period. Through a proof-of-concept consisting of an ensemble (50 29 members from the ECMWF Ensemble Prediction System) seven-days-in-advance forecast of 30 a high impact event affecting the Calabrian peninsula (southern Italy, Mediterranean basin) on 31 November 2019, the paper elucidates the extent to which the improved representation of the 32 terrestrial water lateral transport in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) – Hydro 33 modeling system affects the ensemble water balance, focusing on the precipitation and the 34 hydrological response, in terms of both soil moisture dynamics and streamflow in 14 35 catchments spanning over 42% of the region.
