The archive of the temple of Olympian Zeus at Lokroi Epizephyrioi is among the most important sources for public-funded building activity in Magna Graecia. Because of the nature of the documents, however, procedural details are frequently omitted. One of the Lokrian tablets (I.Locri, no. 9) preserves a telling expression. Thanks to parallels from contemporary building accounts from Delphi, Epidaurus, and Delos, a procedure can now be identified: works on temple doors were let out on contract, as was customary in other areas of the Greek world.

Abstract
The archive of the temple of Olympian Zeus at Lokroi Epizephyrioi is among the most important sources for public-funded building activity in Magna Graecia. Because of the nature of the documents, however, procedural details are frequently omitted. One of the Lokrian tablets (I.Locri, no. 9) preserves a telling expression. Thanks to parallels from contemporary building accounts from Delphi, Epidaurus, and Delos, a procedure can now be identified: works on temple doors were let out on contract, as was customary in other areas of the Greek world.File in questo prodotto:
