Abstract:
Iconography constitutes a fundamental source in the studies on ancient ritual and bloodless sacrifice, especially for the areas in which the literary and epigraphic evidence is meager, like Western Greece. This
approach is particularly fruitful when examining bread and cakes: the paper deals with the role of these
offerings in ancient Magna Graecia focusing on the coroplastic evidence coming from the areas of Metapontum and Epizephyrian Lokroi. Several aspects (morphology, culinary implications, occurrence, ritual
associations with other foods, different ways of presentation and offering in sacred contexts, relations to
determinate religious spheres, deities and festivals, etc.) are taken into account, in order to contribute to the
reconstruction of this important part of ritual performance and worship.
