| Come Dig the Greeks in Italy! |
 |
| Located on a mountaintop at 1,215 meters above sea level, Monte Palazzi is one of the highest classical sites in the central Mediterranean. The Greeks of Locri Epizephyrii built a fort here to watch the overland route from the Ionian to the Tyrrhenian seas. This outpost seems to have been continuously occupied from the 5th to the 3rd centuries BCE. |
