Una brocchetta dipinta dal Tempio di Astarte nell’Area sacra del Kothon a Mozia

Abstract

During the XXXIV season of excavations carried out by Rome «La Sapienza» University
Expedition to Motya, a votive deposit (D.4362) lying west of the Temple of Astarte – Temple C4 of the
Sacred Area of the Kothon – was brought to light. In addition to several cult objects and offerings, the
deposit included a Punic painted juglet (lekythos) which may epitomize once again the complexity of
the cultural tendencies ruling the ceramic repertoire of Motya during the 5th century BC
