Talk: La
museruola di Krotone

Part of I pomeriggi dell'archeologico, the talk features Gregorio Aversa, curator of the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze, discussing "La museruola di Krotone: Equipaggiamento equino e arte della cavalleria presso gli antichi Greci". The subject is a cast-bronze horse muzzle from a parade harness, recovered by the Carabinieri del Nucleo TPC and now displayed at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Crotone in Calabria. Its imagery combines Eracle strangling two serpents with a duel between two warriors; the interpretation relates the piece to its Crotoniate late-Classical context and to the importance of Magna Graecia cavalry.
