The Hellenistic chamber tombs of Taranto represent by far the largest group of known Hellenistic burial chambers in the ancient Mediterranean. In the sixth volume of the Italiká series, the chamber tombs constructed between the 4th and 1st century BC in the necropolis of Taranto are compiled and documented in detail for the first time. The systematic analysis of this form of burial reveals how the complex processes in the South Italian and Mediterranean regions have influenced grave architecture, their interior décor, and the burial cult of the Tarantine society during this period.
