New edition and commentary of P. Lond Lit. 190, an early 3rd century B.C. tattered bookroll from a mummy cartonnage found in Medinet Gurob by W.M. Flinders Petrie during the 1890 season of his excavations in the Fayyum. On the few surviving fragments it is possible to read mentions to some of Herakles’ adventures, and especially an account of the fight between him and Hippocoon, who exiled from Sparta his brother Tyndareos and took the power on the city for a short time. This text was probably part of a longer mythographic work written around the 4th century B.C., as pointed out by its diction.

The study of the signs employed in Greek inscriptions can help to achieve a better understansing of the epigraphic habits of a region, or a period, offering informations about their making, their readership, more in general their social function. In order to show the heuristic potentialities of this approach, the paper will offer some reflection on the ‘epigraphic paratext’ and the layout of some Greek inscription from Egypt, from the Ptolemaic to the Roman age.

From 1993 to 2002 “Sapienza” – University of Rome surveyed the valley of the Wadi Zarqa, discovering a large number of late antique and early Byzantine sites. Among the ruins of one of the largest sites explored, the village of Khirbat al-Wadah, two small Greek inscriptions were found, both very fragmentary, one mentioning the construction of a pyrgos, the
other possibly funerary. The paper offers a short account of the discovery and an edition of the two texts, with commentary.

MetroArchaeo is an international conference counting already three editions (Benevento 2015, Torino 2016, Lecce 2017). It brings together researchers and operators in the enhancement, characterization and preservation of archaeological and cultural heritage with the main objective of discussing production, interpretation and reliability of measurements and data.
The conference is conceived to foster exchanges of ideas and information, create collaborative networks and update innovations on “measurements” suitable for cultural heritage for archaeologists, conservators and scientists.
Summarizing, METROARCHAEO2018 is designed to profit of a multidisciplinary approach to give to the Cultural heritage community, from archaeologists to historians, conservators, engineers, material scientists, etc… a complete picture of the measurements utilizations and data treatments with the ultimate goal of increasing knowledge on the characterization and safeguard of archaeological and historic heritage, generally addressed in sectorial conferences.
The fourth Conference will be held in Cassino, October 22-24 2018.
