Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This volume collects the contributions presented at the conference »Armi votive in Sicilia«, held in Syracuse (Museo Archeologico Regionale Paolo Orsi) and in Palazzolo Acreide (Town Hall) in November 2021.
This volume continues the project started with the conference »Armi votive in Magna Grecia« (Salerno-Paestum 2017), constituting a "second instalment" and taking up the same formula in combining an ambitious historical-archaeological analysis of the weapons offering in a diachronic and intercultural key.
Fifteen contributions that mark a turning point for the knowledge of the island, for a better understanding of the variability and complexity of this particular votive practice that underlines the role of war in antiquity. The volume also contains a reflection that goes beyond the island and synthesises a way of studying a complex repertoire (votive weapons and weapons in votive context) and indicates the challenges that research will have to face in the immediate future. In this collection the reader will find contributions from which to continue building the discourse on the dedication of weapons in Sicily and the ancient Mediterranean.
