Abstract
In 2024, a new excavation was undertaken in Selinunte on the Gaggera Hill, led by Sapienza University and Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali di Roma. The investigation in the Heraion was focused on the altar and the sacrificial area located between it and the megaron. As a result, we now have many details about the materials used, the construction process – including elements such as the crepidoma and the foun‑ dation itself – as well as insights into the activities that took place in the area both before and during its con‑ struction. The mission also concentrated in the Malophoros Sanctuary on the two rectangular rooms north of the Propylon and on the block with circular carvings situated to the north of the Zeus Meilichios temple.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
