Wow! I recently bought a place very close to the town where the necropolis is being unearthed. The name of the town it’s happening in is Termini Immerese, which is a name partly derived from its ancient Greek one, Himera. Sicily is an arachaeological treasure trove — Greek and Roman ruins are everywhere, many of them are spectacular. Google “Segesta,” “Selunente,” and the biggest mind blower of them all, the mosaics in the Roman villa at “Piazza Amerina.” Can’t wait to go see this find.
