The Archaeological Museum of Aidone is hosted in the convent of the Capuchins, in Sicily. In the three rooms are present materials of Prehistory and Protohistory of city, coming from the village castellucciano: axs of the basaltic stone smoothed, tiny fuseruoli and fragments of ceramic processed without the use of the lathe, with essential linear decoration Incisa. To the next town sicula, the first Iron Age, belongs instead, ceramic achromatic objects in forms fairing, the dough red and brown, that finds matching elements of the culture of Ausonio in Lipari.
The exposed finds belonging to the period that goes from the IX to half of the V century B.C. testify to the coexistence of different cultures sicula and Greek in town: (antefixes of religious buildings, “pithoi” “feathers”, a domestic arula on which is depicted a wild boar, a “kernos” three cups and the large crater of Eutimide, with scenes of the symposium and amazonomachy, used for banquets public). The finds dating back to the classical and Hellenistic, up to the destruction of the city (211 a.C.), consist mainly of pottery coming from the necropolis and the urban sanctuaries of Demeter and Persephone, between which several busts of the latter, to which is added a great lucerne to “black paint” with three spouts and a dish from fish, provenance perhaps Syracuse.
Recently in a room were placed some finds of the Terme north of Contrada Agnes (dedicated to Aphrodite and/or to Cybele) designed by the brilliant Archimedes with once acute sixth composed of the tubules voids in terracotta, suitable to support the weight and the lateral thrust. In the former sacristy of the convent are exposed objects of common use domestic, agricultural and religious who offer a framework of the daily life of the inhabitants of the city (objects of common use, kitchen utensils, toys for children, trinkets female, tools for agriculture).
