ARCHAEOLOGY: PERSEUS
"REDISCOVERED " IN MARSICA TOMB
Friday June 10, 2005 (AGI) - Avezzano (Aquila), Italy, June
8 - Over recent days a commission composed of representatives of the
Culture Ministry, the Macedonian embassy and Macedonian academics, has
conducted a survey, awaited for years, at the monumental tomb of King
Perseus, the last king of the Macedonians, buried along the Via Valeria
near Magliano de' Marsi (Aquila), as indicated on table II SE of the
page 145 of the Military Geographical Institute's map. Magliano council
in collaboration with Massa D'albe town council has ordered the cleaning
of the archaeological jewel of the scrub that hid and was seriously
damaging the structure. The Macedonian delegates will give life to a
series of cultural exchanges looking at the figure of the King Perseus,
who spent his last four years as a guest in the city of Alba Fucens,
where he was given a state funeral. His tomb is on the old Via Valeria,
which goes from Tivoli to Alba. The guests who spoke said that they
wanted to resolve the many doubts about the Macedonian king and to give
the prestigious archaeological site its proper profile. (AGI) - Copyright
