Cérémonies autour du thème de la navigation à Amathonte

A terracotta model boat of the Archaic period, found in the sea off Amathus, was published in 1999 by L. Basch who gave a detailed commentary from the perspective of its naval architecture. The fact that the vessel was in this particular instance occupied by seven people justifies making an iconograhic study so as to determine the significance of this kind of offering which was particularly common at the site of Amathus. The probable presence of a king-like figure amongst the persons on board allows new hypotheses to be put forward on the cults connected with sailing and the role played by the ruler.Carbillet Aurélie.
