Open Access Article- Shrieking like Illyrians →
Modern historiography on the ancient world has focused in the last few decades on the problems of Greek identity and self-awareness, as well as Greek relations to the non-Greek populations. In the light of the reassessment of the most ancient historical sources, this paper investigates the representation of the Illyrian tribes in the Greek literary tradition. Roman Illyricum was entirely different from Illyria in Hecataeus of Miletus, when it was confined to a small portion of South-East Adriatic coast; Pliny the Elder and Pomponius Mela were probably well aware of this difference. Herodotus offers some interesting historical information, but his text is not so illuminating for the Greek perspective as Thucydides. He speaks of the “great cries” of the Illyrian tribes facing the Spartan army, just like Aristophanes in the Birds compares the hungry barbarian gods to the “shrieking Illyrians”. However, this is only one side of the Greek perspective; it appears from these same authors that the role played by the Illyrian populations in Greek politics was not to be neglected.

Open Access from Internet Archaeology- The S. Omobono Sanctuary in Rome: Assessing eighty years of fieldwork and exploring perspectives for the future
This article presents the preliminary results of a new research and fieldwork project on the site of S. Omobono in the area of the river harbour of Rome. At S. Omobono, a series of excavation campaigns between the 1930s and the 1990s partially exposed a sequence of major cult buildings dating between the 6th century BCE and the 2nd century CE. Important architectural pieces, inscriptions and imported Greek wares found at the site have attracted a lot of attention and have spurred intense debates, but the basic archaeological data were never processed or published in full. Massive amounts of archival material (journals, drawings, photographs) and of artefacts have never been related to the phasing and interpretation of the sanctuary.

Greek Vase Painting
“This article presents a synthesis of the developments in the field of Greek vase painting during the last 15 years. I first place various types of publications and fields of inquiry into a historical context and then consider the current state of research in the various subareas. I close with comments on emerging practices and trends in the field and some of the major problems that need to be addressed.”
