Die Agais Und Das Westliche Mittelmeer. Beziehungen Und Wechselwirkungen 8. Bis 5. Jh. V. Chr.

A collection of 60 papers from a symposium held in Vienna in March 1999 on relations and interactions' in the Aegean and West Mediterranean between the 8th and 5th centuries BC. The contributors examine the influence of Aegean culture on western countries, particularly Italy, and assess how this interaction in turn affected Greek cities. The essays, which reflect recent archaeological and theoretical developments, are divided into nine thematic groups: urbanism, the polis and its environs, religion, architecture, sculpture, crafts, ceramics and paintings, trade and colonisation. Papers in Italian, English, German and French.
