Greek Oracle of Dodona in Reggio Calabria archaeological exhibit

Antiquities from Dodona, the ancient Greek oracle and a panhellenic sanctuary in Epirus, will be exhibited at the National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria, Italy, for three months, ANA reports.

The exhibition “Ιl Santuario di Dodona e la Magna Grecia”, which also involves the cooperation of the University of Salerno and the Antiquities Ephorate of Ioannina that opened on Friday, aims to present the importance of relations between Dodona and the cities of Magna Graecia, from the founding of the Greek colonies to the later Roman era, as documented by ancient literary sources and archaeological evidence, along with epigraphic and numismatic data.

The Reggio Calabrian museum’s best-known exhibits include the two bronze statues of the Riaci warriors (known as “Bronzi di Riaci”).
