Abstract

The present work aims to summarize the prehistoric artistic evidences already known in the Lepini Mountains and then hint at a possible unpublished evidence. Then the typological and morphologic differences and similarities between those contexts will be showed, also analysing the way in which they were realized. At last those evidences will be included in a national and international sphere, trying to establish a general chronology. The main aim is to refocus the attention on the symbolic representations in the Monti Lepini and Central Italy, in order to give a new impulse to archaeological research in this field.
