This cup was found in 1890 near Bovolone (Verona) in a grave together with an </span><span lang="en">Henkeldellenbecher</span><span lang="en"> and a </span><span lang="en">Firmalampe</span><span lang="en">. Among the few vases of Northern Italian Sigillata with grotesque figures, the same punches used in the cup from Bovolone appear in specimens found in Budrio (Bologna), Chiunsano (Rovigo), Aquileia,</span> Vrhnika<span lang="en"> (Slovenia) and Velika Mrdakovica (Croatia). These almost skeletal figures, whose models are to be found in Hellenistic craftsmanship, are probably linked to comic performances; however, we don’t believe that there are any real scenes.</span></span></p> Federico Biondani Copyright (c) 2024 Federico Biondani https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://riviste.unimi.it/index.php/lanx/article/view/23305 Mon, 20 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000 New archaeological excavations in the Ca’ Granda Cemetery in Milan: 2019-2021 https://riviste.unimi.it/index.php/lanx/article/view/23306 <p class="western" lang="it-IT" align="justify"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The new archaeological excavations in the Ca’ Granda Cemetery in Milan concerned one of the fourteen sepulchral chambers located under the Church of Beata Vergine Annunciata. The excavation of a small part of the deposit, applying the stratigraphic method, has highlighted a complex situation, characterized by the presence of partially or entirely articulated skeletonised bodies. This condition testifies that the crypt was a primary site of deposition.</span></p> Fabrizio Slavazzi, Elena Belgiovine, Daniele Capuzzo Copyright (c) 2024 Fabrizio Slavazzi, Elena Belgiovine, Daniele Capuzzo https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://riviste.unimi.it/index.php/lanx/article/view/23306 Mon, 20 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000
