Alb(i)um Intimilium/Albintimilium — by S. Loseby — last modified Dec 01, 2023 10:46 AM

Alb(i)um Intimilium/Albintimilium (modern Ventimiglia) was the main settlement of the Ligurian tribe of the Intemelii. In the 2nd century BC it came under control of the Roman Republic. Albintimilium became a municipium in 89 BC in the tribus Falerna. In the same period the city walls were built, with several towers. The city flourished in the early Imperial period, with baths, an acqueduct and a theater. In the 6th and early 7th century it was a Byzantine kastron, coming under control of the Longobards in 641. During the 7th and 8th century the Roman city was slowly abandoned in favour of a smaller hilltop settlement focused around the Cathedral.

Arainon — by G. Reger — last modified Apr 19, 2024 10:06 AM

An ancient settlement of Laconia, mentioned by Pausanias. Kiesling (ToposText) notes: "Based on the similarity of the names, Forster placed Arainos/Arainon at the modern coastal village of Ageranos. Just to the south, at Kamares, survives the apse of a very large Roman building, and traces of Roman settlement." Roman era remains, including possible harbor constructions (submerged), have also been identified just north of Ageranos at Vathy.

Archilocheion — by C. Foss — last modified Jun 14, 2023 08:43 PM

A sanctuary dedicated to the Greek lyric poet Archilochus, known as the Archilocheion, was established on Paros during the third century BCE. It is attested textually in both literature and inscriptions; however, the precise location of the sanctuary has not been identified. During the 19th and 20th centuries, some scholars argued for it to be placed at the site of the “Three Churches” (Tris Ekklisies) because inscriptions mentioning Archilochos were found reused in remains of the 6th century Christian basilica over which the later churches had been built. Other scholars (e.g., Kontoleon in PECS) have vigorously rejected this view. Foss (BAtlDir) cites Berranger in tentatively placing the Archilocheion further east at the modern village of Elitas.
