Recognize the modalities of the abandonment of ancient Siponto - already a Roman colony in the 2nd century BC, then an early bishop's seat that with alternating vicissitudes through a long history of settlement - and give a face to the city, of which today episodic material traces, albeit marked relevance, essentially reproduce the same landscape known to ancient travelers, is the intent of this study. Making use of the most up-to-date methods on the ground and in the laboratory, the archaeological investigation begins to define the layout of a suburban urban area, close to the northern limit of this important port center on the Adriatic that relives in the memory of today's town of Manfredonia. developed immediately further north, without apparent continuity with the site of the ancient ruins due to the recent formation of the interposed tourist village of Siponto. Walls, houses, religious and funerary spaces, streets with external circulation areas together with the multiple aspects of the lively urban socio-economic reality and the daily life of its inhabitants are returned by a work in progress, part of an integrated program between the Superintendence for Heritage Archaeologists of Puglia and the University of Bari. The results of the first five excavation campaigns, carried out in the form of the school-field starting from 2000, presented in this volume, the realization of which was possible thanks to the funding of several Bodies , are also available in the permanent exhibition set up in the National Museum of the Castle of Manfredonia, where in an unprecedented form past and present coexist in the material remains and in the scientific-technological experimentation that decodes even the most faint traces. A volume that introduces the reader to the intriguing world of circumstantial disciplines, of which archeology is a part, and which offers a valid tool for those who intend to approach it.

Monte Sannace city of the Peuceti, edited by Angela Ciancio, Progedit, Bari 2001, pp. 143, richly illustrated, 24 cm, br. and.

Series: Itineraries.

Monte Sannace is an archaeological site near Gioia del Colle (Bari), where for decades an ancient Peucetian city has re-emerged piece by piece, with the acropolis, the urban structures, the large walls, the civilian settlement in the plain and the sacred and administrative architecture on the top of the hill. But where, at the same time, an environmental park is being preserved, with a nature trail among the green Mediterranean flora of fragni, downy oaks, holm oaks, but also strawberry trees, myrtle, viburn. The union is underlined by this text, edited by Angela Ciancio, director of the park and of the National Archaeological Museum of Gioia. The book intends to disseminate the great mass of scientific writings published so far on the archaeological settlement, updating them with the most recent acquisitions. And to do this it avails itself of the contribution of a series of specialists, who in essential chapters present all the aspects related to the site, from the geological to the residential ones, from the numismatic emergencies to the ceramic imports from ancient Greece, from the tombs found so far (more of two hundred) to the wall frescoes that adorn some of them. The coins testify to trafficking with other Peucezie cities such as Ceglie and Bari, with the Greeks Taranto, Eraclea and Naples. But the lack of pieces minted in the imperial period reinforces the hypothesis of the gradual abandonment of the site starting from the second century. d. C. In the volume Giuseppe Libero Mangieri presents the treasure re-emerged on the acropolis in the 1930s and datable to the arrival in Puglia of Pirro King of Epirus to help Taranto. That early third century was a terrible period for Peucezia. And evidently the owner of these coins, forced to flee, preferred to bury them in a safe place, with the idea of recovering them, once the danger was avoided.

Castrum Minervae, edited by Francesco D'Andria, Congedo Editore, Galatina 2009, pp. 299, richly illustrated, 25 cm, br. and with dust jacket.

Series: Archeology and history, 9.

Work with numismatic references, including the contribution of Giuseppe Sarcinelli, Coin Findings from Castro, in which ancient, medieval and modern coins are presented. The exhibition, of which the volume is the catalog, is the culmination of a long path of collaboration between the Municipality of Castro, the Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of Puglia and the University of Salento. From that agreement an operational practice was born in which the young archaeologists of the University, with their commitment and enthusiasm, have produced extraordinary scientific results. Between resumptions and new interruptions, the great fortified wall of the Hellenistic town began to emerge more and more clearly, then the votive deposits appeared which allowed to identify an extensive cult complex that dominated the landing place and the stretch of coast up to Capo di Leuca, the ancient iapigio promontory. The votive offerings, the architectural fragments, the wall structures thus formed a mosaic in which the literary testimonies on the Athenanion of the head of Hapygus, merged into book III of Virgil's Aeneid, took shape. The turning point had finally come in May 2008, when Amedeo Galati and Emanuele Ciullo, during the cleaning of an excavation section, had found a bronze statuette of Athena Iliaca with a Phrygian helmet. Now we are working to create the itinerary at the foot of the walls, through the terraced gardens that still surround the town; you can thus admire the large block walls built by the Messapi, the mighty Spanish structures superimposed on them and turn your gaze to the extraordinary panorama of the rocks overlooking a very blue sea, up to the mountainous coasts of Albania, which sometimes reveal themselves, especially in the coldest days of winter. Together with the Castle, the Romanelli Caves and Zinzulusa, the Romanesque Cathedral is becoming increasingly accessible to a unique cultural heritage, even in Salento so rich in evidence of its history and natural beauty.

Its cataloging according to updated scientific criteria was started in 1981.

The monograph with bilingual text in English and Slovenian analyzes the treasure, consisting of 3510 Antoninians and a denarius, accidentally found in 1957 at the Roman site of Ig near Ljubljana. The work includes a detailed catalog of the coins with extensive illustrations and a commentary on each specimen of the treasure chest. The author's acute scientific considerations in an attempt to chronologically determine the burial of the coins are very interesting.
