- Abstract
- The diachronic analysis of the relationships that link sacred places and roads is a tool to understand how the landscapes of ancient Sicily were articulated, structured, and modified through the millennia. For this reason, reconstructing ancient roads has become crucially important in recent decades also for exploring the materiality of religious practices in Greek and Roman times. This work aims to examine in detail certain archaeological and topographical aspects related to this theme, focusing specifically on selected sections of the Via Pompeia, the main route of eastern Sicily as case studies: the extreme northeast of the island, from Capo Peloro to Pistunina (Messina), through the Ionian-Etna region between Acireale and Catania, and the final stretch leading to Syracuse.
