(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 9 - A new small temple has been discovered in the ruins of the ancient Magna Graecia city of Selinunte in south-western Sicily, officials at the archaeological park there said Friday.
    Selinunte, one of the biggest and most important ancient Greek cities in southern Italy, boasts several magnificent temples, the earliest dating to 500 BC.
    The official said that new buildings had been found linked to the sacred area between the Archaic and Classical periods and a structure that at the moment would appear to be a small temple, about two-thirds the size of Temple R.
    They were uncovered in a dig by New York university and the university of Milan.
    The investigations concern the large urban sanctuary on the acropolis.
    The mission has identified the large monumental access to the north-west, a room with a circular well, various objects, coins and a structure that would seem to lead to an as yet unknown small temple, not very large and without columns. (ANSA).
