Some 12,000 graves of age 'pre-Roman times, with skeletons of soldiers and civilians, as well as houses and temples have been discovered in Termini Imerese, a short distance from the Fiat. This is a huge necropolis, Sicily's sixth and fifth centuries BC.
the Department for Cultural Heritage of the Region, Gaetano Armao " E 'the most' great necropolis of the Mediterranean. Himera Back to the old light, which flourished in this plain to fatal attack of the Carthaginians in 408 BC A discovery that will bring new economic lifeblood and the territory of Termini Imerese, that today we can say, not 'only the Fiat ".
La necropoli e' venuta alla luce un anno fa, durante i lavori per la costruzione di un tratto ferroviario. Inizialmente sono state individuate circa 500 tombe, ma successivamente gli archeologi hanno trovato non solo resti umani, ma anche un enorme corredo funerario di lucerne, crateri e ceramiche varie. Poi la grande scoperta: le diecimila tombe, di cui circa il 25-30% osptano neonati, e migliaia di oggetti quotidiani, tra cui 'guttus' , piccoli vasetti di terracotta dotati di un beccuccio, i biberon dell'antichità. Elementi per comprendere gli usi e costumi della Magna Grecia al suo splendore.
Non mancano i resti delle battaglie svoltesi contro i cartaginesi, che distrussero la civiltà dell'antica Himera (Termini Imerese): Hundreds of skeletons of soldiers and prisoners, the remains of arrows, knives and swords. All items of exceptional value, in fact, two thirds of the graves are still equipped with the funeral. Most of the recovered material, and 'transferred in' Antiquarium , which houses the remains of the ancient city, but the opportunity should be made a museum and possibly an archaeological park. Always
Armao " An area not only in the factories. The necropolis of Termini Imerese, along with all the old urban area already 'discovered, can' be a big driver for growth and new jobs for the entire area. An area which is a unique intersection of cultures and histories, as all of Sicily by the Greeks to the Phoenicians to the Romans. Even from here our idea of \u200b\u200bSicily as a land of great past but also a great future and I am convinced that in the future, Termini Imerese will remember 'your estore-valuable archaeological re-emerged from his past, hoping that nelfrattempo is resolved the dramatic presentation of many workers .
