Megarika III : from Sicily to the Black Sea : latest research on ancient Megarian cities

Bringing together researchers from a variety of backgrounds and nationalities, this volume showcases the latest archaeological and historical research on ancient Megarian cities across the Mediterranean, from the Black Sea to Sicily and from Archaic to Hellenistic times. It presents new discoveries on the infrastructures, organization and occupation of the territory of Megara itself, but also sheds new light on the wider network of Megarian apoikiai. Megarian identities, in Greece and beyond, are examined through multiple facets of material culture, such as sacred practices, artisanal production, networks and epigraphical habits. Owing to the remarkable amount of new information presented, Megarian funerary practices and spaces arc covered in a dedicated section.

Drawing on archival records from earlier excavations and new data derived from cutting-edge approaches, this book is set to become a milestone in Megarian research.
