Document Details : Title: Italo-Hellenistic Sanctuaries of Pentrian Samnium Subtitle: Questions of Accessibility Author(s): VAN DUSEN, Rachel Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 13 Date: 2014 Pages: 63-79 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.13.0.3038731 Abstract : This article addresses the region of Pentrian Samnium, located in the Central Apennines of Italy. The traditional view regarding ancient Samnium presents the region as a backwater which was economically marginalised and isolated. This article examines Pentrian religious architecture from the 3rd to the 1st century BC in order to present an alternative reading of the evidence towards a more favourable view of the region with respect to its socio-economic conditions and openness to ideas and developments in Italy. |
