Cato, Juba and Vincentius. The decoration programme of the house of Venus in Volubilis
Volubilis (Mauretania Tingitana) was struck by an earthquake (c. 420 BC) that marked the end of the urban monumental centre. The collapse of the stoneworks also compromised the domus of Venus and the nearby domus of the Bronze Bust, whose portrait of Juba II was attributed to. Furniture in the domus of Venus featured many and sumptuous pieces made of marble and bronze. Among them, the portrait of Cato minor was deemed as an extraordinary exemplum virtutis. The program behind the floor mosaics exalted the power of Eros and warned from the excess of passions. In this frame, the panel showing the cat Vincentius, fighting with the weasel Luxurius (which is not a mouse) is included. The scene resembles a parody of the ludi in the amphitheatre, as shown by the captions “you won” and “crave (in vain)” referred to both animals.

The perception of antique progressively changes in Calabria along the 18th and 19th centuries, when the antiquarian studies were abandoned, and the intention to safeguard monuments spread. A prime example of this gradual rediscovery of the so-called “ruins” is Scolacium, where H. Swiburne, J.H. Riedesel, C.T. Ramage and other travellers of the Grand Tour not only caught sight of significant “vestige(s) of ancient remains”, but were also attracted by the picturesque nature and landscape. D.-V. Denon alone (1778) recognises the Roman theatre. The antiques of Scolacium are described for the first time in the 19th century by L. Grimaldi, an erudite local researcher. Simultaneously, the Bourbonic government of Naples intervenes to protect the Norman church at Roccelletta di Borgia, by issuing two administrative acts (1844 and 1854). After the Unification of Italy, the story of Scolacium was still narrated with rhetoric language and no originality. The cultural climate radically changes at the end of the 19th century, thanks to G. Fiorelli and F. Lenormant, whose new interpretation of the archaeological landscape of Scolacium anticipates the prompt protection measures developed by P. Orsi. In the 1910 indeed, the latter acquires, on behalf of the Italian State, the arm of a bronze statue, that was previously part of a private collection.

The small plate with the inscription of Kleom(b)rotos, an athlete winner at the Olympic Games, from Francavilla Marittima near Sybaris was the object of many epigraphic studies. However, it has not achieved a sure and unanimous interpretation. This article examines the various issues of the dedication from an archaeological point of view. The linguistic models and the metric rhythm of the inscription, expression of an oral culture, are related to the rituals and the ceremonies in the Greek archaic sanctuaries. The inscribed plate of bronze commemorates the solemn promise of Kleom(b)rotos to Athena and the donation perhaps of a xoanon or a sphyrelaton erected in the sanctuary on the Timpone della Motta (c. 600-575 BC)

The essay is divided into four parts. The first of them focuses
on the "Interpretation of dreams" by Artemidorus of Daldis,
through which it is possible to outline the personality and the
thought of the author. The second part is related to similiarities
and differences between Artemidorus and Freud. The third part
deals with the "Dictionnaire philosophique" by Voltaire: in the
entry Dreams, Artemidorus is not mentioned. In the fourth part
some comparisons and differences between Freud and Artemidorus are proposed, focusing on the fundamental role of dreams in human life since the antiquity.

The successful exibition "Zȕruck zur Klassik" at the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung in Frankfurt (2013) confirmed the great attirance of the classical art. Since 1973 the two Greek bronze statues from an ancient wreck at Riace (Calabria, Italy) provoked great admiration; but today the increase of interest by public opinion and common curiosity triggered a dangerous marketing. On the contrary main debates should be focused on five important open questions: the identity and the iconography of the two statues, the chronology and the workshops, the original location (Greece?).
