Pour la premiere fois nous proposons, depuis les publications de Marina Mazzei en 1995, puis en 2006, une confrontation mise a jour sur les formes de l’habitat a l’epoque hellenistique en Grece du nord et en Daunie.

L’analyse approfondie de la planimetrie et des decors montre le role des aristocraties dauniennes dans l’adoption de nouveaux modes de vie a la grecque des le IIIe siecle av. n. e.
