Vortrag
This lecture infers on the results of a recent study conducted on Hellenistic mortuary material evidence from the necropoleis of Issa, one of the latest Greek settlements in the West. Issa was established on the island of Vis in central Dalmatia (modern Croatia) during the Late Classical period, and had its heyday in the Hellenistic era. So far, it remains the only Greek city in this region where necropoleis have been discovered and partially investigated. Such evidence reveals not only insight into dynamic daily cultural practices, such as burial customs, but also shows us how identities were confirmed and constructed during these activities, consequently offering glimpses into the local acculturation processes, as well as the active involvement of Issa in seafaring routes and networks of the central Mediterranean region and beyond.
