Tarento - Heroic cults - ‘Banqueters” - Emergent rulers -Terracotta figurines.Abstract
The main goal of this paper is to present an interpretation of the tarentine terracotta figurines usually known as “Banqueters” relating them to the heroic cults that have a large diffusion around the Greek world specifically during the Archaic age. The political use of the past by the emergent rulers can be a proficuous approach to the heroic cults and the colonial area provides an example: the oikistes cult has many similarities with motherland’s situation at the moment of poleis’s emergence.Downloads
