The contribution offers the first edition of a small lead olla preserved in the storerooms of the National Archaeological Museum of Taranto, made from a bivalve matrix and intended for the trade of medicinal ointments or eye drops. The discreetly preserved object bears a matrix inscription consisting of an idionym in genitive case: Παμφίλου, from Pamphilos, identifying the φαρμακοπώλης according to whose recipe the medicamentum was made. The name is massively attested in Attica and the object therefore seems referable, in terms of form and material of manufacture, to the ‘Athenian or Central-Mediterranean’ area.

The stele (2nd-1st century BCE), found in Smyrna, presents a sacred law concerning the cult of an unknown goddess. The first section prohibits a hurting of the sacred fishes and the sanctuary goods, and it is followed by a course against those who disobey. The mention of the sacred fishes may suggest that the Goddess associated with these animals may be the Syrian goddess Atargatis. It is possible that, in the late Hellenistic period, a community of Syrians settled in Smyrna, founding the sanctuary of its local deity and promoting her cult, as happened in Delos and other Greek ports.

In 130 BC, the Cretan archisomatophylax Soterichos made a complex dedication to Pan of Fair Paths (Euodos) on behalf of Ptolemy VIII, Cleopatra III, and their children. From a historical point of view, this Upper Egyptian inscription testifies the dynastic conflict between Ptolemy VIII and Cleopatra II, but also the movement of men and goods in the Egyptian Eastern Desert at a crucial moment in Ptolemaic history. Furthemore, it can also be interpreted as a revealing autobiographical statement and a certificate of loyalty in which the contours of the god (an interpretatio Graeca of Min) and the king seem to merge together.

After the defeat of the Achaean League and the destruction of Corinth in 146 BC, the Roman general Lucius Mummius Achaicus toured Greece in order to reorganise the Greek territory now under Roman rule. In addition to settling political disputes between cities, Mummius left several offerings and monuments in important cities, temples, and sanctuaries. Taking as a starting point this dedication by Lucius Mummius of an equestrian statue to the Olympian Zeus, we will analyse the different media and communication strategies employed by Lucius Mummius to mark his victory and his exploits in the collective memory of the Greeks.

King Antiochus IV is praised by Athenians for being restored to his ancestral rule thanks to the support of Eumenes II of Pergamon and his brothers. The decree provides the ‘official version’ of Antiochus’ restoration to the throne, after Seleucus IV’s death. Moreover, the inscription sheds light on a turning point in Seleucid history, in both political and military terms as well as dynastic relationships.

On the slope of Monte di Vico at Ischia there was an inscription recording the construction of a fortress by two characters with Oscan names and some soldiers. After recalling the various hypotheses about the document’s historical context, the most recent one, though neglected, is endorsed: the two characters were archons of Neapolis, who arranged the defences of Aenaria during the First or Second Punic War. New considerations are provided about the archonship at Neapolis, besides a complete historical commentary of the document, whose importance for the history of the Neapolitan constitution is highlighted.

Research activities conducted within the Aragonese Castle of Taranto over the last fifteen years have yielded numerous data that have proved useful for the integration of the cognitive framework of the eastern sector of the acropolis of the Greek polis. In particular, the discovery of two new vascular graffiti, as part of an unloading of ceramic and architectural evidence probably belonging to the sacred sphere, seems to offer new insights into the reconstruction of the topography and the cultic attribution of the sacred area of the Doric Temple in Piazza Castello.

The Athenian decree under discussion is a highly controversial inscription for several reasons, including its dating, which varies between 440 and 424 BCE, and the content of the document itself. The inscription, which is very fragmentary, refers to people who were granted a meal at public expense (sitesis), including the descendants of the tyrannicides, Harmodios and Aristogeiton; perhaps the pythochrestoi or, better, the manteis selected by Apollo; the winners of one of the four agonies of the periodos; and probably the strategoi. The paper also argues the hypothesis that the decree concerned not only the sitesis but also the proedria.

The paper provides a new reading of a mould-made inscription on the back of two clay statuettes found at the end of the 19th century in the Taranto necropolis of Contrada Santa Lucia and dated between the second half of the 1st c. BC and the beginning of the 1st c. AD. The technique of making the inscription, which was imprinted inside the mould after being scratched on the patrix, is not widespread in the Taranto area. The inscription, a Roman anthroponym written in Greek language (a signature), represents an element of complex interpretation, because it remains uncertain whether it is to be attributed to a coroplast or to a workshop owner.
