Grumentum, in the inland of Basilicata, was a Lucanian city and then a Roman colony. This volume publishes the papers presented at two conferences, held in 2012 and 2015. Their aim was to discuss the results of the recent archaeological research in Grumentum and other sites in Lucania. The results are many, and include a new numismatic document concerning the Lucanian city and the reconstruction of the central area of the Roman town from the Late Republican phases to the Augustean project of the new Forum. The most important monuments are studied and their features and transformations are presented according to a chronological frame provided by the finds and their date. Typological studies and chemical and physical analyses have yielded new data which improves our knowledge of the economy, trade, diet and culture of Grumentum. Finally, the transformation of this city into a Christian community is highlighted by new discoveries and findings.

Il loro obiettivo e stato quello di discutere i risultati delle recenti ricerche archeologiche a Grumentum e in altri siti della Lucania. I risultati sono numerosi e comprendono un nuovo documento numismatico relativo alla citta lucana e la ricostruzione dell'area centrale della citta romana dalle fasi tardo-repubblicane al progetto augusteo del nuovo Foro. Vengono esaminati i monumenti piu importanti: la loro forma e le trasformazioni sono presentate entro il quadro cronologico fornito dai reperti e dalla loro datazione. Studi tipologici e analisi chimiche e fisiche hanno prodotto nuovi dati che migliorano la nostra conoscenza dell'economia, del commercio, della dieta e della cultura di Grumentum. Infine, la trasformazione della citta in una comunita cristiana viene chiarita dalle nuove scoperte.
