Des paysages tourmentés faits de pierre calcaire, de terre rouge, d’arbres majestueux, de lits d’anciens torrents asséchés et de vastes plaines cultivés.

LA GRANDE GRÈCE : L'immigration de peuples grecs commence au 19e siècle av. J.-C. Elle se poursuit au 16e siècle av. J.-C. par l'invasion des Mycéniens. A la fin du 8e siècle, une population de Sparte et de Laconie fondent les villes de Gallipoli et de Tarente, qui devient vite la ville la plus importante de la Grande Grèce. La cohabitation avec les autochtones ne se fait pas sans heurts. LES ROMAINS : Les romains envahissent à leur tour la région. La ville de Tarente devient romaine en 272 av. J.-C. En 304, l'annexion de toute la région est achevée. Les autochtones se latinisent et connaissent une très longue période de paix, entrecoupée, il est vrai, d'invasions de germains, goths et byzantins. De 568 à 590, les Lombards chassent les byzantins. LES SARRASINS : Ce sont les Sarrasins qui s'installent à Tarente et Bari (devenu émirat de 847 à 871). Bari devient florissant. Terre d'accueil et de mélange, il s'y côtoie des communautés romaines, germaines, byzantines et juives. Ainsi que les religions catholique, orthodoxe, israélite et musulmane. LES NORMANDS : Le normand Robert Guiscard domine à son tour la région, à partir de 1071. Les cités côtières se développent, grâce au commerce avec Venise, Amalfi et l'Orient. Elles deviennent aussi un passage tout indiqué pour les croisades. C'est l'époque de la construction de grandes cathédrales romanes : Bari, Canosa, Siponto, Trani et le sanctuaire de Saint Michel. LA PÉRIODE SOUABE (1229-1282) : Cette courte période connut l’âge d’or de la Puglia, avec le règne de Frédéric II, qui organisa la région, développa l'économie et favorisa les arts. La prédominance intellectuelle attira de nombreux artistes et savants à la cour de Frédéric II. UN LONG SOMMEIL : Après une courte domination angevine (1282-1442), puis aragonaise (1442- 1587), puis espagnole (1557-1707), l'influence des Puglia vint plutôt de Naples ou de Venise. C'est seulement à Lecce que le baroque trouva un accomplissement spécifique, qui lui valut le nom de baroque "leccese". La cathédrale en est un magnifique exemple. Bientôt, les classes sociales aisées utilisèrent à leur tour cet art exubérant pour les grands palais de la ville. A partir de la très courte domination autrichienne (1701-1738), puis sous les Bourbons d’Espagne (1738-1860), les villes connaissent un lent mais inexorable déclin. LA PUGLIA DEVENUE ITALIENNE : En 1860, la Puglia rejoignit la nation italienne, les villes de Bari ou Brindisi sont de grandes métropoles actives.

The Appian Way is the last protagonist of a trilogy narrating the routes covered by a group of friends with a common passion for travelling. Once again the pictures of photographer Franco Fontana and the words of writer Valerio Massimo Manfredi, expert of ancient history, have succeeded in capturing the essence of a route whose fascination is rooted the very origins of our country. My personal participation in this journey and Transmec Group’s involvement in the project go further than simple sponsoring; we have, rather, taken a concept and brought it to life; developed, studied and accomplished an idea through modern forms of expression. Transmec has always been attentive to requests and proposals coming from the world of art and culture, offering our support to novel ideas and to their promoters. A commitment which rises directly from the fundamental features of a company operating worldwide: an innovative spirit and the ability to keep up with the times. This volume personifies the close relationship that exists between our work, transport, expeditions, global communication and photography: the ability to connect people and things which are far away from each other; to erase distances and spread ideas, facts and events.

  • Ceramic Production in Roman-Age Apulia: Lychnological Contexts
    Ceramic production in Roman-age Apulia: lychnological contexts Abstract: Archaeological research in Apulia have given solid grounds for a historical characteristic of the region, specifying the nature of settlements and their socio-economic environment in the Roman age. But production centers, primarily pottery workshops, as well as commonly traded shapes, trade routes and consumer centers still are in need of comprehensive study. For this purpose a targeted examination of Apulia et Calabria has been launched, identifying places and modalities of pottery production from the 3rd century BC to the 3rd century AD on the grounds of both permanent installations and mobile finds. This contribution, which takes advantage of the documentation collected within the frame of this research, seeks to identify and contextualize sites where clay oil lamps were being produced, through the scopes of production continuity/discontinuity and the modalities of settlement, craft, economy and commerce. Keywords: Apulia et Calabria, urban and landscape archaeology, Roman archaeology, clay oil lamps, Roman pottery, material culture The results of 30 years of rural and urban landscape archaeology research in the region of Apulia et Calabria, coinciding more or less with modern Puglia [Fig. 1], have given a solid base for reconstructing an articu- lated framework of settlement history and related so- cio-economic issues (Grelle and Volpe 1994; Silvestrini Custode Silvio Fioriello 2005; De Mitri 2010; Mangiatordi 2011; Volpe 2011; Small 2014b; Fioriello 2017).

No country least, statesmen Perhaps the long list of poets, scholars, and who from generation to generation have tried their hands at the task may suggest the reflection that part of its fascination must consist in its insuperable difficulties. The humbler part of translating him into prose has been scantily attempted in England, though the example has been set us in France. By translation into prose I understand that which has been done for Virgil by for Conington and more lately by Mackail, Homer by Lang and his coadjutors, or again in part for Dante by Dr. Carlyle ^ translation which, while literal in the sense that is in its , every thought exactly represented _>--.^_^j4/<-^ ^ proper order, tone, and emphasis, has also just so much^^ of literary form that it can be read by a modern reader without distress, I and understood without perpetual reference to the and that Horace's original ; (to adapt own expression) if in the process the author be necessarily dismembered, the fragments can at least be recognized for those of a poet.

  • Italo-Greek Coins of Southern Italy
    ITALO-GREEK COINS SOUTHERN ITALY ITALO-GREEK COINS OF SOUTHERN ITALY BY THE REV. A. W. HANDS RECTOR OF NEVEN'DOy, ESSEX THEOL. ASSOC. KING's COLLEGE, LONDON FELLOW OF THE ROY.\L NUMISM.^TIC SOCIETY, LONDON " AUTHOR OF " COiM.MON GREEK COINS AND " COINS OF .MAGNA GRAECIA " LONDON SPINK ik SON Ltd 17 & 18' Piccadilly, London, W. 1912 1^:J ^/7 him INTRODUCTION One of the great advantages offered by the study of this series of Itahan coins is the attainment of a clear perception of tlie relation- ship of the Roman coinage to that of ancient Greece. Many students of Roman coins neglect the literature connected with Greek coinage and thus miss the pleasure of tracing the steps by which the Roman coinage was evolved from that of the more ancient and artistic civilization of Greece. In this somewhat neglected corner of the numismatic field the student will not only find problems still unsolved but also many side lights which help to make more clear a somewhat dark and difficult page of historv. To students and collectors whose means are limited this series offers the further advantage of a large number of coins which cost little money, and are easily obtained ; moreover it is in connection with the types of the common coins that some of these interesting problems arise, and the relation between the Greek and Roman series may best be illustrated. This series of coins throws much light on the deeply interesting subject of the gradual manner in which the Romans were brought into contact with the Greeks through their wars with the races ot Southern Italv.

VOL. VIII. No. 5. THE VIA TRAIANA. BY THOMAS ASHBY AND ROBERT GARDNER. A.—THE HISTORY OF THE VIA TRAIANA. LONG before the Romans had established the foundations of their power in Southern Italy, there must necessarily have existed numerous natural routes of communication between the principal centres of popula- tion, which were later utilised by the conquerors as they developed and civilised what they had won with their swords. As the Romans advanced from point to point, planting in the best strategical positions military colonies, which not only secured freshly conquered territory, but also served as bases from which advances against tribes, still un- subjugated, could be directed, it was essential that each new outpost, particularly if it had been established in an area in which there still remained an openly menacing foe, should be connected with a base of strength and security by an easy means of communication.
