Paesaggi produttivi, distribuzione e consumo del vino in Magna Grecia: casi di studio

The work describes data concerning literary sources associated with the consumption of wine in the Classical Age. Secondly, some containers and figurative repertories related to specific and sometimes peculiar symposia practices are illustrated. Subsequently, various aspects of viticulture are dealt with, starting from literary and purely archaeological evidence, concerning specific containers, plants and tools used in the Greek colonies and in the indigenous interland. Finally, some hypotheses are presented on the conservation and consumption of wine, based on bioarchaeological analysis, carried out on finds from recent archaeological research. All of the work mainly concentrates on some case studies in Basilicata, between the Archaic and Late Hellenistic Ages.
