This volume deals with the period from 300 BC to AD 100. The sixteen chapters, all in English, arise from an Oxford conference in September 2010 taking the post-Classical polis sanctuary in Greece, Sicily and Magna Graecia as its focus. The main disciplinary emphasis is on classical archaeology and art; two chapters (Yves Lafond; Maria Kantirea) foreground epigraphy; another includes an excavator’s unpublished note revealing a new inscription about Damophon of Messene (Melfi in the second of her three contributions). The chapters are not grouped thematically, although two sub-divisions stand out: one dealing with broader topics and regions, and the other focused on a particular polis or sanctuary.
