	Metaponto accommodation, Italy - hotels, apartments, bed and breakfast in Metaponto
		The last offshoot of the plane which extends from the low hills of Matera towards the Jonian sea, visitors are offered a vast coastline of very fine, golden sand and large beaches of sand and pebbles on the stretch of coast further to the south which faces the Pollino National Park.
		Here in the VIII B.C. the cities of the ‘Megale Hellas' (Magna Graecia) were founded and comprised Metaponto, Heraclea (today Policoro), Siris and Pandosia which hosted personalities like Pythagoras and were the scenes of terrible battles such as the one fought by Pyrrhus against the Romans.
		Signs of this historic past can be found at the archaeological digs in Metaponto and Policoro and in their very important museums, which have so many exhibits that, despite the vast show area available, not everything can be displayed.

		- Metaponto 490 a.C. ca., in greco: Πυθαγορας) è una figura mitica, cui i biografi antichi non esitarono infatti ad attribuire una natura semidivina: fu matematico e filosofo, visse ed operò in un'epoca in cui i confini tra le discipline e i saperi specialistici non erano ancora stati delineati.
		Compì viaggi in Egitto e a Babilonia, durante i quali frequentò circoli sacerdotali e magici, prima di stabilirsi definitivamente a Crotone, dove fondò la scuola che prese il suo nome.
		Le alterne vicende politiche lo costrinsero a riparare a Metaponto, dove morì nel 490 a.C..

	Towards a Comparative Study of Chorai (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		In my experience at Metaponto, Croton, and Chersonesos, the disciplines most useful in attempting to unravel the complexity of life lived in the ancient countryside have been: palaeobotany, palynology (the study of ancient pollen), archaeozoology, physical anthropology, geology and geomorphology, intensive field survey, and the study of historic aerial photographs and imagery from space.
		Metaponto’s rural sanctuaries like the farmhouses were open and unprotected in contrast to the Chersonesan “estates” which were stout, stone structures built with defense in mind.
		The division of the chora of Metaponto is clearly recognizable in aerial photography, especially those photos made before the mid 1950s when the agrarian reforms brought irrigation and deep-plowing to much of the area of the ancient chora—the still fertile marine terraces—and destroyed many of its superficial features.

		When Metaponto, according to the historian Diodorus Siculus, demurred, Cleomenes forced the barbarian Lucanians to invade the chora (territory) of Metaponto, demanding six hundred talents of silver and two hundred girls from the best families as the price for "saving" them— an indication, by the way, of the wealth of the city at that time.
		Its primary aim is to discover the actual distribution of ancient sites and complete a census of the territory by period from the earliest settlement (in the neolithic period) down to modern times, and to assess the changes in settlement patterns that occurred in major occupation phases.
		The principal occupation of Metaponto's rural population was agriculture.

		Given that Metaponto is in the far south of Italy, for most travelers arriving from North America it is more convenient to fly to Rome rather than Milan.
		Fortunately, Metaponto lies on a major rail-line running from Rome to Taranto in Puglia, which makes for minimal connections and minimal time wasted waiting in stations.
		Metaponto has its own train station, so that you ask for "Metaponto" as your destination.

	The Chora of Metaponto: The Necropoleis
		This two-volume set is the first of a series of volumes that will deal with various aspects of the chora (or territory) of the ancient Greek colony of Metaponto in Southern Italy.
		It provides a complete record of the first necropolis (burial ground) to be published in its entirety after over a century of archaeological exploration in Magna Grecia.
		These volumes should be a fundamental reference for students of ancient society and the history of disease, as well as for traditional archaeologists and art historians.

		Metaponto was an Achaean (Peloponnesian) colony established in the mid-7th c.
		The first settlers had to fight long wars with both the natives and other Greeks to secure a piece of land in the area.
		Some of the new settlers lived in the countryside and excavations in Metaponto proved that they were not slaves but the same people as those who lived in the city of Metaponto.

	Mara Bar Serapion. Christ Myth Refuted. Did Jesus Exist? A Christian Response
		In reality, Pythagoras left the island of Samos in 530 B. and emigrated to the Greek colony of Croton in Southern Italy.
		He later died what is now Metaponto, Italy.
		The men of Samos did not "burn" Pythagoras, so if Mara Bar-Serapion's letter was incorrect in such an important detail as this, how can it be considered reliable proof of the historicity of anything, much less the existence of a person who wasn't even mentioned by name in the document?
