Resumen
The presentation of the finds from pre-Roman Cumae in the Museum of Baia allowed the comparison of the old problems with the new ones, within the context of widely evolving studies from the middle of the last century, thanks to the new excavations that had interested, through a systematic campaign, the colonial city. This article makes its point through three basic themes. Through the architecture, the composition of the architectronic styles of Cumae are discussed, a specific tradition found throughout Lazio and Campania that followed from the archaic period up to the Hellenistic renewal. Through the paintings that focus on the brand-new discoveries that allow a comparison between the funereal and public contexts. Finally, through the necropoleis that present new questions and possible models for the interpretation of the old 19th century excavations, and that focus on the two notable inscriptions on tuff stone suggested, through the tomb of ‘lenos’, as an original reading that puts the text in an architectural context to pertain to and be associated with a specific funereal ritual and the sacred harvest of Dionysus.
