Il santuario di Diana, sulle rive del lago vulcanico di Nemi, in un contesto ambientale e paesistico estremamente suggestivo, è uno dei luoghi di culto dei Latini più noti e monumentali, ma anche tra i meno conosciuti santuari repubblicani del Lazio, a causa di attività degli scavi che lo hanno interessato fin dal Settecento ma soprattutto nell'Ottocento, che hanno portato al degrado di molti edifici ed alla dispersione in collezioni e musei di tutto il mondo dei preziosi materiali rinvenuti. Dei successivi scavi, svoltisi ai primi del Novecento, resta solo un breve resoconto mentre le strutture non sono attualmente visibili. Il volume analizza i risultati di venti anni di scavo nel santuario, condotti dalla Soprintendenza ai Beni Archeologici del Lazio a partire dal 1989, a cui si è affiancata dal 2003 l' Università degli Studi di Perugia. Le ricerche hanno portato ad ampliare notevolmente la stessa pianta del santuario, che sorge su varie terrazze, ma anche la sua storia, con il rinvenimento di un sito dell' età del Bronzo nel cuore della successiva area sacra. Oltre ad una nuova analisi delle strutture nelle terrazze inferiore e superiori, il volume presenta lo studio di tutti i materiali rinvenuti nel corso degli scavi e permette di ricostruire un nuovo quadro della vita e del culto che per secoli si sono svolti nel santuario.

"The saga of Caligula's sunken barges in Lake Nemi in Italy -- how the huge vessels came to be there in the first place; why they became a cause célèbre for Mussolini's Fascist regime; how they were raised from the lake bed; and why they were destroyed, along with the museum constructed to house them -- is, in the words of author John McManamon, a good story that is worth telling: 'It has memorable characters, twists and turns in the plot, no lack of conflict and tension, and a dramatic ending where something clearly went wrong.' In From Caligula to the Nazis: The Nemi Ships in Diana's Sanctuary, McManamon takes readers on an excursion through history: a journey enhanced by the fruits of deep scholarship, yet possessing ample narrative energy to propel the reader along the path to the fiery ending of the tale. Side trips include Roman mythology and state religion, the emperor cult of the infamous Caligula, archaeology as practiced during the Renaissance, the politics of Il Duce and his minions, and a historical whodunit surrounding the facts of the conflagration that consumed the barges. In the end, McManamon provides for both academic specialists and informed general readers the careful unwinding of a centuries-long mystery, replete with heroes, villains, gods, kings, and all the ordinary folk caught in the middle"--
