MONTE NAVONE or MONTE NAONE (“Nakona”) Enna, Sicily.

In the commune of Piazza Armerina. This is probably the site of the Greek city of Nakona. The archaeological zone consists of two distinct areas, one of which is surrounded by an agger still visible on the S slope of the hill. The city developed from E to W along an axis coinciding with a still recognizable street. The necropolis for this habitation center includes graves of the so-called Licodia Eubea type, with grave goods comprising imported Corinthian or Attic vases and locally made pottery of Licodia type.
