Herbessos information


Herbessos was an ancient city located at Montagna di Marzo, Sicily, a few kilometres north-west of Piazza Armerina.[1]

It occupied an area of approximately 15 hectares and has been partially excavated.

The first limited excavations were by Paolo Orsi in 1930 who described the riches that were illegally stolen over the years, feeding large collections. Subsequently in the 1950s Dinu Adamesteanu recognised, through aerial photography, part of the ancient access routes to the city. In the 60s archaeology was carried out by Gino Vinicio Gentili and subsequently by Vito Romano who also identified a sacred area.
