Malcolm Bell III and Sandra K. Lucore amid the ruined vaults of the baths at Morgantina, in Sicily. Sandro Scalia for The New York Times. By Elisabetta Povoledo. July 4, 2007. AIDONE, Sicily Morgantina is an archaeological site in east central Sicily, southern Italy. It is sixty kilometres from the coast of the Ionian Sea, in the province of Enna. The closest modern town is Aidone, two kilometres southwest of the site. The site consists of a two-kilometre-long ridge running southwest-northeast, known as Serra Orlando, and a neighbouring hill at the northeast called Cittadella. The Archaeological Museum of Aidone is a regional museum in Aidone in the province of Enna, Sicily. It is housed in a former Capuchin convent dedicated to Saint Francis. [1] It was inaugurated in the summer of 1984 and preserves the findings of over thirty years of excavations in Morgantina, ordered according to chronological and thematic criteria. The Latin term "Magna Graecia" (in Greek, "Megalē Hellas") means "Greater Greece.". In the term's first attested usages, by Pindar and Euripides in the fifth century BCE, it applied to all of the territory inhabited by Greeks around the Mediterranean (Cordano 2005 ). While it has been suggested that "Megalē Hellas" was used The present article deals with the Archaic chamber tombs (ca. 600-450 BC) of the ancient city of Morgantina in central east Sicily which is an important location for understanding the encounter and interchange of Greek and local communities at the time of the Greek colonization. (London 1970) 97 Abstract Water supply and drainage at Morgantina, as elsewhere, reflect the underlying geological and climatic conditions. The many different elements of water sys-tems found here suggest a pluralistic approach to supply and use. Some elements occur in related groups, such as supply pipes, cisterns and drainage channels.
