- Clio
2008 Prize - the excavations of Jean-Pierre Brun in Cumes (Italy)
As every year, the Clio prize of the French archaeological research
abroad will be awarded in the Carrousel of the Louvre next November
6th at 17.30 h. - on the occasion of the Heritage Hall. The first
prize, given by a jury of specialists, was assigned to Jean-Pierre
Brun by the research conducted in South Italy on the site of the
old Cumes. This site, where it is assumed that Eneas received
from the sybil the information that allowed him to enter Hell
through the very near Averne lake, is loaded with a rich legendary
and historical past. Relatively protected from wild urbanism due
to its abandonment after the 13th century and the pollution suffered
for a long time, the place has witnessed a very long history,
initiated from the iron Age, continued through the Greek colonization,
the Samnite presence and the establishment of a Roman port which
became an important Byzantine position later.
