Abstract

The volume is the edition of the old excavations carried out in Segesta, at the Sanctuary of Contrada Mango, between the 1950s and the 1960s of the twentieth century. The sanctuary is located on the south-eastern slopes of Mount Barbaro. It has returned a monumental peribolos and the remains of a peripteral temple. The sacred area documents phenomena of cultural interaction between the Elymian center and the Hellenic environment (Selinuntine first of all) in the Archaic and Classical Ages. It is an intense and multiform relationship, now made tangible not only by the monumental sacred architecture but also by the architectural ornamentations, the statuary in Parian marble, the imported ceramics (associated with vessels of local production in the liturgical practices) published in this volume. The weapons, both Greek and 'indigenous' (especially long weapons), area also important and were the distinguishing feature of this sanctuary. The study is an interdisciplinary work, which has used, alongside archaeological analysis, scientific skills with archaeometric analysis of some remains of pigments on various types of artifacts, of marbles and waterproofing of some hydraulic elements, and a proposal of 3D restitution of the temple.
