Household altar excavated in Sicily

Ongoing excavations at the site of Finziade, Monte Sant'Angelo di Licata, Sicily, have uncovered a household altar. Part of the Finziade Project, this altar was found in the newly investigated House 7. Limited information about the altar is available, with the find being announced on the project's Facebook page through a series of images (below).

The site is also home to another domestic cult space, located in House 19. This consists of a cult room, with an elaborate marble altar and three niches. Statuettes and other objects relating to the cult space were also excavated. The altar has been reconstructed and sits in its original position within its home.
