GIOVANNI MARGINESU
Informazione, comunicazione ed erga nella Grecia classica. Alcune note epigrafiche

By examining the classical inscriptions from Athens, Delphi, Epidaurus, and Delos, as well as other sources related to ancient buildings, the paper aims to study the sanctuar y and other building-related sites as a central space for the transmission of information and the development of communication strategies. The paper examines three issues. The first is the production of bureaucratic, architectural, and technical drawings, such as the letters from the functionaries and the graphic and three-dimensional models created by architects. The second concerns the development of strategies for material supply and the recruitment of craftsmen. The third discusses the exploitation of sacred space: during its construction, the shrine site may be exposed to ver y strong use (and abuse) by political propaganda.
