IDENTIFIERS AND IDENTIFICATION METHODS IN THE
ANCIENT WORLD
Legal Documents in Ancient Societies III
DEPAUW M., COUSSEMENT S. (eds)
This volume provides a survey of how people were identified in ancient cultures around the
Mediterranean, from Mesopotamia and Egypt to Greece and Rome. Rather than discussing the identifiers themselves, the contributions focus on the selection of elements such as names, genealogy, titles,
or ethnics, as well as on legal confirmation of identity in the form of witnesses, seals or signatures.
The varying socio-onomastic and legal conventions illustrate intense cultural exchange as well as
regional traditions in the Ancient World, and this collection of papers will be of interest to both social
and legal historians.

DINING AND DEATH
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the ‘Funerary Banquet’ in Ancient Art, Burial and Belief
DRAYCOTT C.M., STAMATOPOULOU M. (eds)
This book brings together papers covering a wide range of regions and periods, from Italy to China,
and Old Kingdom Egypt to the Roman Empire, all focusing on the interpretation of banqueting
imagery in funerary contexts. The papers largely concentrate on pictorial depictions of banqueting
and/or food offerings and how they might be understood in such settings, although some papers
consider tomb deposits and furnishings. Traditionally, three main interpretative paradigms have been
employed in ‘deciphering’ such images: 1) they represent wordly activities, either quotidien or idealised, 2) they represent an imagined pleasant afterlife (and therefore evidence this belief) and 3) they
represent funerary or mortuary rites. Such interpretations have been challenged by scholarship that
refutes the validity of these strict, divisive categories, but in concentrating on social structures embedded in the images, has tended to eschew potential eschatological aspects of meaning. Collectively, the
papers here reconsider this matter, making significant contributions to discussions of ambiguity,
agency, interaction, performance, the issue of ‘meaning’, and the various ways in which images can
be approached and used.

WWW . PEETERS - LEUVEN . BE
This volume continues the series of five previous Roman Family publications, and puts special focus
on social history and living conditions in the familial contexts. It concentrates on three interlinked
aspects of family life and interaction: liminal situations regarding demography and ecological factors
that lay down the framework for family life, liminal conditions on the edges of familial life regarding
child labour, child slaves and sexual attitudes towards children, and local traditions which confront us
with people and cultures at the borders of the Roman Empire. By focusing on three recurring points
of departure (Late Antiquity, children and childhood, and the encounter between various cultures),
and by presenting a wide variety of methodological approaches (from rhetorical analysis of discourses
to statistical analysis, and from experiential life stories to iconographic analysis), the present volume
offers a view on the status quaestionis of Roman family studies, and widens the thematic points of
departure for the study of the Roman family, thus hopefully pointing to fruitful directions for further
studies.

The volume publishes over 20 papers given at an international conference of the same name held in
Innsbruck in January 2009 to celebrate the 60th birthday of Christoph Ulf. The main focus of the
conference was discussion of and responses to his paper ‘Rethinking Cultural Contacts’ (Ancient West
& East 8 [2009], 81-132 – reproduced as Appendix 1 in this volume). Ulf’s paper offered a model
outlining the various forms of cultural contact and sought to explain how and why foreign goods and
ideas were taken on and to what extent they were changed in shape and meaning. Just as it was no
longer tenable to think of cultural contacts without taking into account the whole chain of exchange
– producer, transmitter and recipient – then cultural exchange as a meaningful process of the exchange
of goods and ideas between all people involved required an approach, hitherto lacking, by which it
can be comprehensively analysed and explained. The contributors are ancient historians, classical
archaeologists, philologists and Near Eastern specialists, thus providing a variety of perspectives on
cultural exchange in the Mediterranean and the ancient Near East.

THE PERIPHERY OF THE CLASSICAL WORLD IN
ANCIENT GEOGRAPHY AND CARTOGRAPHY
PODOSSINOV A.V. (ed.)
•

•
•
This collection of papers is dedicated to the problems of centre and periphery in the ancient world in
their historical and geographical aspects. These problems are discussed here within a broad chronological scope: from the Mycenaean period, through the flourishing of geographical science in
Hellenistic times, to the Roman period, represented by the names of Strabo, Pomponius Mela, Pliny
and Ptolemy. The papers embrace all parts of the ancient oikoumene, from Africa in the south and
Ireland in the west, through northern and eastern Europe to Central Asia in the east. Several authors
have devoted their contributions to ancient mapmaking and how this reflects Greek and Roman
conceptions of the periphery of the ancient world. The authors are drawn from across Europe: France,
Italy, Poland and Russia.

Volume III of the Corpus Topographicum Indiae Antiquae deals with Indian toponyms in ancient
Greek and Latin texts. Anyone who is interested in ancient Greeks and Romans and their contacts
with India and Sri Lanka is faced with the inconvenience of the vague location of places as well as the
often arbitrary spelling of the names. The present monograph fills the gap. It consists of an alphabetical index and an atlas. The data of this volume is compiled from Diodorus, Strabo, Pomponius
Mela, Quintus Curtius, Plinius Maior, Periplus, Arrianus, Ptolemaios, Kosmas Indicopleustes, in
chronological order. Each entry is followed by a reference to the ancient work and to modern authors
dealing with it. The index contains the names with their synonyms, variant spelling and essential notes
regarding their identification and location. A system of cross-references interlinks synonymous toponyms. In order to complete the link between the place-names and their exact location it proved useful
to appendix a set of gridded maps (33). Places are plotted on the maps. For the orthography as well
as for the location of the names the authority of the Survey of India was adopted. The index and atlas
form an indispensable research and work tool for all interested in ancient toponyms and in their
identification and location.

This fascicule represents the second part of the first volume of Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum of the
State Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts devoted to the coins of the Black Sea littoral. It comprises
detailed descriptions and illustrations of the coin issues struck by the Greek cities situated on the
western, southern and eastern shores of the Black Sea up to Roman times, thereby completing the
publication of coin material from the circumpontic area stored in the Pushkin Museum. Despite the
relative small number of coins (fewer than 500 pieces) there are quite rare specimens among them
originating from important pre-revolutionary private collections such as those of Rozanov and
Bobrinskii. Most of the coins have never been published before and will be of special interest to
scholars.

This book brings together, for the first time, tombstones of the 6th-1st centuries BC from the necropoleis of the Greek colonies of the whole western Black Sea area (modern-day Bulgaria and Romania).
It studies monuments with relief decoration – 98 pieces (from Apollonia, Bizone, Callatis,
Dionysopolis, Histria, Mesambria, Naulochos, Odessos and Orgame) are examined and illustrated in
a geographically arranged catalogue, which is preceded by a full discussion of typologies, iconography,
chronology, compositional elements, material, workshops and production, etc. The book is not merely
a case study but also an examination of Greek funerary art in general, offering parallels from mainland
Greece, the Greek islands and Asia Minor, and noting general tendencies as well as local peculiarities
specific to the western Black Sea.

This is a catalogue of church, chapel and monastery mosaic pavements discovered within the borders
of Israel and the Palestinian Territories (Roman Palestine). Chronologically, it spans the early 4th to
8th centuries, the latter period seemingly designating the cessation of mosaic manufacture in early
Christian edifices in Palestine based on current archaeological findings. Sites are arranged alphabetically and according to the four Roman provinces that encompassed the region, and to which it is
believed each originally belonged. The primary name chosen for each site (in most cases) correlates
with the site name used in the indispensable gazetteer Tabula Imperii Romani Iudaea Palaestina
(1994), allowing for relatively simple site identification and cross-referencing. In order to simplify the
mosaic design descriptions, the catalogue utilises a system of geometric pattern coding. For each site,
a map reference is given for the Israel Grid, followed by a brief outline of its excavation or survey, a
thorough description of the pavements including the coding system, inscriptions (if present), a commentary including proposed dates (if given) and bibliography. The indexes include a concise list of
occurrences for each pattern code, figural designs and iconoclastic damage; for inscriptions, ecclesiastical titles, named mosaicists and cited provincial dating eras.

Economics is about explaining patterns in human interaction by detecting its causes and effects.
However good our restored data are, the patterns they reveal will always be too fragmented and have
too many loose ends to unveil reality. Economic history is always an act of imagination. The challenge
is to ensure that it does not become an insubstantial pageant. Theories, models and comparative history help us to do that. They are explanatory frames and tools, showing the consequences of our
assumptions and suggesting solutions to fill in the gaps. They do not diminish the need for empirical
research methods. The output of any model depends on the reliability of its input data. This book
discusses theories and models we believe are useful in economic history, but it also invites the reader
to look at methods (both new and traditional) to ensure that input data are reliable, and offers case
studies showing what can be done.

Seit Herodot und Thukydides gilt die Annahme, daß die historischen Strukturen der Vergangenheit
früher oder später auch in Gegenwart und Zukunft wiederkehren, als methodologische Grundlage
allen echten geschichtsphilosophischen Argumentierens und als ultimative gesellschaftliche
Selbstbegründung der historischen Disziplinen. Unter den verschiedenen diesbezüglichen Denkschulen,
welche sich in der Antike und im Abenland herausgebildet haben, war die Vermutung, politische oder
kulturelle Einheiten könnten sich analog zum Lebenszyklus natürlicher Körper verhalten und biologistische bzw. zyklische Etappen wie Geburt, Wachstum, Reife, Alter und Tod bzw. Neubeginn
erleben, ganz besonders wirkmächtig und prägt auch heute noch unter dem Schlagwort vom “Aufstieg
und Niedergang” der großen Hochkulturen unser Verständnis von den notwendigen Etappen einer
jeden Zivilisation. Vorliegender Band beinhaltet, neben einer breiten methodologischen Einführung
in das Thema, ausgewählte Beiträge zu zyklischen und biologistischen Denkstrukturen in der
Geschichtsphilosophie so unterschiedlicher Denker wie Platon, Aristoteles, Polybios, Sallust, Vergil,
Livius, Seneca, Orosius, Simplikios, Proklos, Joachim von Fiore, Machiavelli, Vico, Kant, Hegel,
Spengler, Thomas Mann, Toynbee, Huntington und Fukuyama.

Sénèque respecte scrupuleusement l’orthodoxie stoïcienne en affirmant à plusieurs reprises que
l’intégrité physique, en tant qu’«indifférent» moral, ne doit en aucun cas être un objet d’attention.
Toutefois, parallèlement à ces considérations, il compose une œuvre dans laquelle la souffrance physique occupe une place considérable. La présente étude, à travers l’examen des théories et des représentations du dolor physique dans l’œuvre philosophique de Sénèque, se propose de résoudre ce paradoxe
apparent, et de déterminer précisément les fonctions d’un tel emploi. Après avoir défini la notion de
dolor physique, elle démontre l’omniprésence du motif du corps souffrant et en dégage les raisons
contextuelles. Elle envisage en outre la dimension médicale des représentations de la souffrance, afin
de définir le niveau des connaissances techniques du philosophe et l’origine des théories pathologiques
et thérapeutiques qui affleurent dans son œuvre. Enfin, elle examine le dolor physique au sein de la
pensée philosophique de Sénèque afin de démontrer que le dolor possède une fonction éthique de
premier ordre, aussi bien d’un point de vue théorique que pratique.

Ce commentaire du Livre IV, qui fait le point sur l’état actuel de la recherche dans les études propertiennes, offre un texte original et un apparat critique, accompagnés d’une traduction en prose. Le texte
retenu, qui se fonde sur les travaux de Marc Dominicy, attribue au manuscrit T une place importante,
mais secondaire par rapport à N, à la différence des éditions récentes qui favorisent l’hypothèse d’un
stemma à trois branches. La première partie fournit, pour chaque élégie, une synthèse qui la replace
dans son contexte et fait le point sur ses enjeux littéraires, historiques et sociologiques. Les commentaires ad uerbum, qui proposent une analyse fouillée de chacune des élégies, s’inscrivent dans cette
perspective. Properce ne se borne pas, en effet, à refaçonner la fiction élégiaque de la puella et ses
modèles, comme dans les trois premiers Livres. Il accorde une place majeure aux realia, à commencer
par les monumenta de Rome, en articulant le réel contemporain et l’imaginaire à travers le prisme du
mythe et de l’idéologie. Le poète élégiaque se démarque de la nouvelle conception du pouvoir politique, adossée à la tradition romaine, et qui s’incarne dans le mythe de la fondation chanté par Virgile
et Horace.

La conception de soi-même à Rome n’a que peu à voir avec celle qui semble triompher à la fin du
XVIIIe siècle en Europe, où l’on assiste littéralement à la naissance d’un genre promis à un grand
avenir: l’autobiographie. La correspondance de Cicéron, «ego-document» de première importance,
fournit un angle d’étude particulièrement intéressant à cet égard. Elle témoigne, dans le cadre d’une
sociabilité fondée sur les devoirs imposés par l’amicitia, des formes et des contraintes qui présidaient
à la représentation de soi-même au sein de l’élite romaine. Mais surtout, inséparable des crises de la
République tardive, elle développait un discours innovant où la priorité était parfois moins l’information que l’examen du rôle adéquat à jouer. Écrire devenait alors un art de l’évaluation des circonstances
et de l’acte approprié: une technique de soi, développée avec les amici docti dans un cadre privé, une
des formes que pouvait prendre à Rome le souci politique de soi-même.

En s’appuyant sur le témoignage de Pline l’Ancien et sur la richesse de sa documentation, cet ouvrage
propose un examen général de la pharmacopée végétale d’Occident et, plus généralement, des rapports
entre l’homme antique et ses médicaments. On y découvre des plantes sauvages, souvent étonnantes,
toujours puissantes, quelquefois dangereuses. On y rencontre des plantes ornementales domestiquées
et cultivées, qui ravissent les yeux et sont efficaces dans tous les domaines thérapeutiques. Enfin, on
croise des plantes alimentaires, étape ultime dans la familiarité du végétal avec l’homme, tant le passage
de l’aliment au médicament est facile, grâce à de simples recettes de cuisine ou à des moyens d’action
plus particuliers. En Occident, le cheminement va aussi de la plante indomptée au remède librement
choisi: il met en valeur l’affirmation de la puissance humaine. Cette étude montre que, bien que
souvent dépassé par sa propre médication, l’homme antique était cependant capable d’élaborer un
système complexe et logique de l’utilisation des plantes. Ce système, dans lequel le hasard avait sa place
sans pour autant tout régir, consacrait le rapport entre l’homme et son environnement et le reliait au
monde.

CREATING SEVERAN ROME
The Architecture and Self-Image of L. Septimius Severus (A.D. 193-211)
LUSNIA S.
Creating Severan Rome: The Architecture and Self-Image of L. Septimius Severus (AD 193-211) examines
the topography of Severan Rome and its role in Severus’ political agenda. Although some elements
reflect the emperor’s concern for establishing his own legitimacy and the eventual succession of his
sons, other aspects of the Severan program are tied to the emperor’s broader programs of legal, military, and bureaucratic reforms. This book investigates major areas reshaped by Severus, e.g. the
Roman forum, the Campus Martius, and the Palatine, as well as individual monuments, e.g.
the Septizodium, in an analysis of his building program.

Faisant suite au Commentaire des fragments dramatiques de Livius Andronicus du même auteur
(Collection Latomus 318, 2008), le présent livre suit en principe l’édition de Warmington Remains of
Old Latin pour le texte, tout en le critiquant ou le corrigeant au besoin; on y ajoute les fragments
recueillis dans d’autres éditions, anciennes et modernes, de sorte que le lecteur trouvera ici tous les
textes dramatiques associés au nom de Naevius. Mais l’essentiel de ce commentaire porte sur l’explication linguistique et stylistique des fragments, ainsi que sur leur analyse en tant que restes d’un texte
dramatique et qu’il s’agit donc de comprendre en fonction de cette destination originelle. Notamment,
on tente de situer ces fragments dans une intrigue reconstituée autant qu’on peut le faire raisonnablement, en leur assignant une place et un rôle – lorsque c’est possible – qui tiennent compte des conditions du théâtre et des modèles dramatiques dont nous disposons.
RELIGION AND COMPETITION IN ANTIQUITY
ENGELS D., VAN NUFFELEN P. (eds)
The notion of competition has become crucial to our understanding of Greek and Roman religion
and is often invoked to explain religous changes and to describe the relationship between various cults.
This volume seeks to raise our awareness of what the notion implies and to test its use for the analysis of ancient religions. The papers range from Classical Greece, Hellenistic Babylon, Rome and the
Etruscans, to Late Antiquity and the rise of Islam. They seek to determine how much can be gained
in each individual case by understanding religious interaction in terms of rivalry and competition. In
doing so, the volume hopes to open a more explicit debate on the analytical tools with which ancient
religion is currently being studied.

en évidence ses spécificités lexicales et syntaxiques.

Retraçant l’histoire de la littérature latine de l’Antiquité, depuis ses débuts au IIIème siècle av. J.-C.
jusqu’au VIème siècle de notre ère, cet ouvrage s’est imposé depuis sa parution comme une référence
dans le domaine des lettres classiques. Il est à présent offert au public francophone, enrichi d’une
importante mise à jour bibliographique. Tout en suivant une approche chronologique, il accorde une
place priviligiée aux genres littéraires, présentés dans une série de chapitres diachroniques qui n’ont
guère d’équivalent dans les manuels francophones. Autre spécificité, l’attention portée à la permanence
des œuvres latines de l’Antiquité dans les lettres et les arts: la présentation de chaque auteur s’achève
par un aperçu – d’ampleur inégalée dans les ouvrages correspondants – de son influence sur la littérature latine postérieure et sur les écrivains, artistes et penseurs qu’il inspira, du Moyen Âge à nos jours.
À la fois érudite et accessible, cette histoire de la littérature n’est pas seulement un outil de travail
précieux pour les étudiants et professeurs en lettres classiques et modernes, mais offre, à toutes les
personnes qu’intéressent la culture européenne et ses racines antiques, une introduction idéale à notre
héritage latin.
LE SYSTÈME CONCEPTUEL DE L’ORDRE DU MONDE

Cet ouvrage cherche à comprendre l’idée d’ordre chez Homère et Hésiode par une analyse de notions
essentielles s’y rattachant, tant à l’échelle humaine (ordre politique, communautaire et social) que
cosmique (ordre dans le monde des dieux et dans les relations hommes-dieux). L’étude de timè, moira,
kosmos, themis et dikè et de leurs contextes homériques et hésiodiques permet d’établir les nuances
entre ces termes. Cette recherche démontre l’existence d’une conception similaire de l’ordre du
monde, d’Homère à Hésiode, au-delà de l’opposition souvent alléguée entre leurs poésies. Si Hésiode
ne s’écarte pas d’une conception «aristocratique», comme l’établit aussi une analyse des rôles des
basileis et de leur relation avec Zeus dans l’épopée, la prééminence qu’il accorde à la notion de dikè
est symptomatique d’un ajustement de la tradition aux réalités contemporaines des communautés
archaïques. À travers les idées de juste part et de reconnaissance sociale, de convenance, de justice
humaine et divine ainsi que des comportements qui en découlent se dessine un système conceptuel
par lequel la pensée grecque archaïque a pu appréhender le monde et l’organisation des sociétés
humaines, en conformité avec un ordre sanctionné par Zeus.

Les huit études réunies dans ce volume, en langue française ou anglaise, s’inscrivent dans le renouvellement de la recherche sur Théophraste, premier successeur d’Aristote à la tête du Lycée. Elles ont
pour objet son traité, bref et le plus souvent aporétique, connu sous le nom de Métaphysique, qui
lui-même porte sur les principes, leur science et le rapport de cette science et de ces principes à la
nature et à la science physique. Sont discutés la date de l’ouvrage (Pamela Huby), la référence à l’ontologie mathématique de Platon (Thomas Auffret), la portée des critiques contre la théorie du principe
immobile du mouvement (David Lefebvre), la persistance d’un intérêt pour l’ontologie de la matière
et de la forme (Robert W. Sharples), l’articulation entre la Métaphysique et la méthode des traités
botaniques (Marlein van Raalte), la connaissance des principes (Enrico Berti), la limite à l’impulsion
vers le meilleur (Annick Jaulin), le sens de la critique théophrastienne du finalisme (Jean-Baptiste
Gourinat). Ces études dessinent une lecture quasiment continue de l’opuscule; elles donnent une
image de la première réception d’Aristote, qu’elle soit conçue comme postérieure à la Métaphysique de
celui-ci ou contemporaine de sa rédaction.

L’idée d’une multiplicité de causes, introduite dans la philosophie grecque à partir des dialogues de
Platon, a trouvé chez Aristote sa réalisation grandiose et complexe. La discussion sur les causes à
l’époque hellénistique et impériale confirme l’importance et l’extrême richesse de cette idée. Le titre
du volume veut souligner les rapports dialectiques, parfois conflictuels et souvent polémiques, que les
doctrines de la causalité de cette époque présentent entre elles, aussi bien de manière indépendante
que par rapport à la systématisation aristotélicienne. Les principaux auteurs (Théophraste, Alexandre
d’Aphrodise, Plotin) et les principales écoles philosophiques (Péripatétique, Stoïcienne, Épicurienne,
Sceptique) de l’âge hellénistique et impérial y ont été abordés dans le but de produire un aperçu le
plus complet et le plus articulé possible du problème de la causalité à cette époque.

La question de savoir quel type de rapport entretiennent la physique et la métaphysique est au cœur
du système philosophique d’Aristote. Ce rapport, toutefois, n’est pas facile à saisir, non seulement
parce qu’Aristote ne l’a jamais défini de façon claire, mais parce qu’il est délicat d’en comprendre la
nature à la lumière de la théorie de la science exposée dans les Seconds Analytiques. En effet, Aristote
affirme d’une part que la métaphysique, conçue comme science universelle, n’a pas de genre-sujet
propre, et d’autre part que la physique, quoique seconde par rapport à la métaphysique, en assure le
fondement. C’est de ce rapport ambivalent que découle le plus grand nombre d’apories liées au statut
épistémologique de chacune des deux sciences comme à la nature de leur rapport. Les contributions
réunies dans ce recueil s’inscrivent dans ce contexte théorique complexe. Elles portent moins sur la
difficulté de comprendre le critère ou les critères d’organisation des traités qu’on appelle Métaphysique
et Physique que sur celle de présenter et de justifier l’entrelacement épistémologique de ces deux
sciences, conçues comme deux disciplines unitaires mais plurielles. Sans prétendre reconstruire l’histoire de la question, l’un des enjeux de ce volume fut aussi de dégager, passé le texte même d’Aristote,
certains points nodaux de l’histoire grecque et arabe du débat.

monastère parvint à augmenter sa fortune foncière à l’occasion des troubles du temps et devint l’établissement le plus important de l’Athos, grâce à la générosité des souverains byzantins et serbes, et à
ses relations avec l’aristocratie. Les membres de cette dernière utilisaient Vatopédi comme banque
de dépôt et venaient s’y faire moines en lui versant une somme d’argent en échange d’une pension
viagère. Le domaine foncier du monastère en 1376 est ensuite décrit. Viennent la description, l’analyse, le commentaire et l’édition de 84 actes, dont 51 étaient jusqu’ici inédits, l’édition de trois faux

l’histoire de la langue et de ses dialectes (depuis le deuxième millénaire avant J.-C. jusqu’à la période
impériale), la phonétique, la morphologie, la syntaxe, la stylistique, l’onomastique personnelle, la
toponymie, le lexique, les influences intra- et extra-dialectales, la confrontation avec la koiné, les
rapports avec la littérature, la compréhension mutuelle des dialectophones, les pseudo-dialectismes,
la langue d’Aristophane avec ses subtils jeux de mots prêtés aux dialectophones… Une attention
particulière a été donnée à la comparaison des textes épigraphiques avec les œuvres littéraires contemporaines parallèles, afin de pouvoir mesurer statistiquement leurs différences. Quelques communications sont consacrées en tout ou en partie aux phénomènes d’écriture et à la création de signes spéciaux dans les alphabets locaux. Plusieurs documents dialectaux, tant métropolitains que coloniaux,
sont présentés pour la première fois ou réexaminés. Les principales étapes de l’évolution méthodologique et scientifique de l’étude des dialectes grecs anciens dans les 30 dernières années sont aussi

Despite the difficulties of reconstructing the grammar of a dead language, studying Ancient Greek
offers new insights for linguistic theory. The morphological complexity of the Greek verb with its
highly intricate inflectional system provides a valuable basis for an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms which regulate the functioning of a language. Studies on the Ancient Greek verb have also
contributed significantly to the reconstruction of the Indo-European language since the early history
of Linguistics in the nineteenth century. The conservative features preserved in the oldest stages of
Greek allow us to rely on a solid basis to which every linguist must refer in investigating a model of
the Proto-Indo-European verb. The present volume contains the papers presented at the
8th International Meeting on Greek Linguistics. The contributions of this book analyze phonological,
morphological, syntactic and semantic phenomena from various areas of grammar pertaining to the
verb, using a large corpus which ranges mostly from Homeric to Classical Greek. This volume provides a current overview of some work on Ancient Greek Linguistics, setting forth interesting topics
for further research and drawing more attention to the contribution which historical linguistics and
the study of dead languages can give to the improvement and growth of linguistic theories, toward a
deeper comprehension of the language system.

Linear B is the earliest form of writing used for Greek; it is a syllabic script which belongs to the
second half of the second millennium BC and precedes the earliest alphabetic texts by at least four
hundred years. The tablets written in this script offer crucial information about the economy, administration, religion, institutions, etc. of the Mycenaean period. But who wrote these texts? What types
of texts were they? How can we read them, understand them and interpret them? What do they teach
us about the history, economy, religion, society, geography, technology, and language of the
Mycenaean period? This Companion aims at answering these and other questions in a series of chapters written by internationally recognised specialists in the subject, who not only summarise the results
of current research but also try to explain the problems which arise from the study of the texts and
the methods which can be used to solve them. No Mycenologist can currently cover with authority
the complete field and the Companion is aimed both at the beginner who needs an introduction to
the whole area and to advanced scholars (archaeologists, historians, classicists) who require an up-todate account which can serve as a standard reference tool.
Reactions to the first volume:
“All Aegenists need to have this book.” (John G. Younger, American Journal of Archaeology)
“Un excellent instrument, à tous les niveaux.” (Francisco Aura Jorro, L’Antiquité Classique)
“We are awash with companions of varying composition and quality. Arguably, many are superfluous;
this one is not... The companion under review seeks to make Linear B more accessible to students and
interested scholars. It is far more complete, authoritative and up-to-date than any.” (Dimitri Nakassis,
The Classical Review)
“The best reference work for the content of the Linear B texts, their language, their value, and the
historical contexts that produced them; very useful for students.” (Angelos Chaniotis, Ancient Crete:
Oxford Bibliographies Online Research Guide)

This book is the first to deal comprehensively with the construction, significance, and function of the
full range of garments of Aegean women and related attire of men from the Neolithic to the end of
the Bronze Age. As valuable as precious metals, a significant commodity of trade, luxurious in design
and decoration, Minoan dress rivaled that of its Near Eastern and Egyptian neighbours. Yet, Aegean
costumes and textiles have been among the least understood of the major artistic achievements of the
Minoan civilisation. Since ancient Aegean textiles and garments have not survived, the study collects,
analyzes and compiles a typology of the corpus of garments represented in sculpture, frescoes and
glyptic to glean evidence for construction. It further considers the manufacturing techniques of extant
Egyptian clothes, comparable images of ancient Near Eastern garments, textile manufacture on the
warp-weighted loom, and dress documented in Mycenaean Linear B, Greek and Near Eastern texts.
The combined evidence is buttressed by experiments in replicating Aegean and related Near Eastern
garments as well as the weave structures of patterned cloths and bands. The replicated clothes are
arranged on live models who assume the various positions of the clothed figures in the frescoes and
sculptures they imitate, thereby bringing the ancient figures to life. This all inclusive study not only
illuminates every aspect of Aegean costume, but the resultant understanding of dress and the way it
drapes on the body has led to new restorations of the missing parts of fragmentary garments on figural sculptures and wall paintings.

Inscribed Minoan stone vessels are ritual gifts that index their dedicants’ intention that both their gift
and their name should survive permanently at the place of dedication. These vessels contained offerings, yet the vessels themselves were also offerings, serving as permanent records of a ritual act. These
rituals were most likely communal, incorporating group feasting and drinking. The seasonality of
these rituals suggests that they were focused on the cycle of life: fertility, birth, death and renewal.
Offerings left with the vessels suggest that these rituals also addressed other, more personal concerns.
As for Linear A itself: the language behind the script appears to contain a fairly standard phonemic
inventory, though there are hints of additional, more exotic phonemes. The morphology of the language appears to involve affixation, a typical mode of inflection in human languages. The presence of
significant prefixing tends to rule out PIE as a parent language, while the word-internal vowel alternations typical of Afroasiatic verbal inflection are nowhere to be found in this script. In the end, Linear
A appears most likely to represent a non-IE, non-Afroasiatic language, perhaps with agglutinative
tendencies, and perhaps with VSO word order.

In 2011 a conference was convened in the Dutch Institute in Athens by John Bintliff, to present key
developments in the last decade or so in the Archaeology of Greece from Palaeolithic times up to the
Twentieth Century AD. The experts were invited to lecture on their own choice of highlights from
recent developments in their special period of Greek archaeology, and the lectures were also designed to
cover the entire range of Greek prehistory and history. The contributors to this conference and the current volume which has developed out of it, were deliberately encouraged to speak and write personally,
and this has led to an intriguing diversity of approaches and styles. In the intervening years some additional discoveries and insights have occurred in the field of Greek archaeology, and the time-lag has also
allowed our lecturers to rewrite and reconsider their lectures, and of course to update them to 2014.

PAPERS ON MEDITERRANEAN ARCHAEOLOGY
AND GREEK AND ROMAN STUDIES
EMOTIONS IN ANTIQUITY
This volume is designed as a wide-ranging analysis of ceramic standardization and variation, and as a
contribution to pottery studies in the Mediterranean and beyond. It originates in a conference session
at the 16th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists which was held in The
Hague, The Netherlands, and was organized by the research team of the project New Perspectives on
Ancient Pottery (NPAP) of the Amsterdam Archaeological Centre, University of Amsterdam. Some of
the most enduring questions archaeologists raise are explicitly or implicitly formulated around the
concepts of standardization and variation. Yet, the significance of these concepts has rarely been
acknowledged in archaeological literature and their full potential for the study of ancient culture
remains under-explored. To demonstrate the significance of these concepts for the study of material
culture, we adopt here a cross-cultural and diachronic perspective. The individual chapters cover a
variety of case studies, ranging from Spanish handmade pottery to John Beazley’s Greek vase painters.
The range of approaches pursued is equally broad and involves traditional stylistic analyses, applications of archaeological science, statistical methodologies, and post-processual considerations. The
result will hopefully stimulate pottery experts and specialists in other categories of artifacts to revisit
their material from different and fresh angles.

This volume addresses various aspects of the character of Medea and the presentation of her emotions
in literature and in connection with Medea, of philosophical views on emotions and of the reception
of these themes in the later European tradition. One of the articles discusses the presentation of
Medea’s emotions in Hellenistic literature, i.e. in Callimachus and Apollonius Rhodius. Three other
papers focus on aspects of philosophy, ranging from Plato to Stoicism. The reception of Euripidean
emotionality and the character of Medea in the later European tradition is the subject of two other
articles, which focus on the Renaissance poet Maffeo Vegio and on the way in which Goethe models
his Iphigeneia on the character of Medea.

After conquering one of the biggest empires the world has ever seen, Alexander the Great died prematurely in 323 B.C., without leaving a suitable heir to the throne. During the next decades his
generals, thenceforth known as the Diadochoi or Successors, unremittingly fought over the king’s
inheritance. The balance of power which ultimately resulted from their struggle would determine the
course of events in the eastern Mediterranean for centuries to come. Despite its historical importance
many aspects of the age of the Successors remain underexplored. Written by leading international
specialists, the 24 contributions to this book help in remedying that situation by addressing new issues
or shedding fresh light on old questions. They not only explore the written and material evidence for
the epoch, the Successors’ armies and military campaigns, their political ambitions and relationships
with Greek cities, but they also address several social, economic, religious, numismatic, art-historical
and urbanistic issues. They will significantly enhance our knowledge of the creation of the Hellenistic
kingdoms as well as on the then prevailing dynastic ideas and practices. The book is of interest to
students of Hellenistic history and archaeology, and Greek historiography.

This book explores the rise of the concept of dynastic continuity in the Ptolemaic kingdom from
political, cultural and sociological perspectives, focusing on the first century of Macedonian rule in
Egypt, from Alexander’s conquest to the early years of Ptolemy III. A chronological and thematic
discussion leads the reader from the success of charismatic leadership in the age of the Diadochs to
the establishment of a more durable system of the practice and representation of power during the
third century. The analysis focuses on the actors involved in the processes of negotiation of Ptolemaic
power as well as on the way they interacted by adapting ideological themes to different media and
socio-cultural contexts. The main topics discussed include: the interaction between royal and nonroyal initiatives in the representation of legitimacy and dynastic continuity; royal apparatus and its
reception in mass events; the relations between human power and the divine; the combination of
historical events and mythic patterns for the creation of an intentional history of the new dynasty; the
historical development of the tradition concerning Alexander and the first Ptolemies, with a focus on
the survival and reconfiguration of ideological themes in post-Ptolemaic Alexandria.
HELLENISTIC POETRY IN CONTEXT
HARDER M.A., REGTUIT R.F., WAKKER G.C. (eds)
This volume is devoted to Hellenistic poetry in the context of the contemporary world of third century Alexandria and beyond. This topic fits in with the increasing interest in the role of literature in
ancient society in recent research, which has already been applied successfully to various aspects of
Hellenistic poetry. The subject also has an added interest because for a long time there has been a
tendency to regard this kind of poetry as art for art’s sake, a kind of autonomous poetry and display
of virtuosity among scholar-poets, who indulged in being as sophisticated as possible without being
in touch with the real world. This view has been rightly challenged in recent years and the articles in
this volume reflect this new approach, as the authors investigate the ways in which Hellenistic poetry,
played a part in its social and cultural context.

The Fayum is a large depression in the western desert of Egypt, receiving its water directly from the
Nile. In the early Ptolemaic period the agricultural area expanded a great deal, new villages were
founded and many Greeks settled here. When villages on the outskirts were abandoned about AD
300-400, houses and cemeteries remained intact for centuries. Here were found thousands of papyri,
ostraca (potsherds) and hundreds of mummy portraits, which have made the area famous among classicists and art historians alike. Most papyri and ostraca are now scattered over collections all over the
world. The sixth volume of Collectanea Hellenistica presents 145 reconstructed archives originating
from this region, including private, professional, official and temple archives both in Greek and in
native Demotic.

In this detailed study of double names in Egypt, Yanne Broux explores how the age-old tradition of
polyonymy flourished under Roman rule. While in the Ptolemaic period double names were mainly
bilingual and were thus connected to the concept of ethnicity, they underwent a significant change
starting around the middle of the first century AD and culminating in the third. Broux argues that
this shift from Ptolemaic Greek-Egyptian to Roman Greek-Greek double names was the outcome of
two structures introduced by the Romans: the strict social hierarchy on the one hand, and the municipalization of the metropoleis, which led to the rise of the local elite, on the other. This resulted in a
strong emphasis on Greek identity and descent, and double names lent themselves exceptionally well
for this purpose. They bring to the fore the importance that the local elite attached to Greek identity
and descent, and, perhaps, as a wink to the (forbidden?) tria nomina, provided a means to distinguish
their prominent bearers from the rest of the Egyptian population.

Double names have a long history in Egypt. They are already attested on Old Kingdom funerary
monuments, where concern about eternal life required a correct identification of the deceased. When
Greek and Egyptian cultures came into contact under the Ptolemies, bilingual polyonymy (i.e. the
combination of an Egyptian and a Greek name) became more popular. During this period, Greek
ethnicity was valued as a symbol of power and social status, and was used to create borders between
the rulers and the ruled. At the same time, however, it was a flexible concept and this made it a useful tool for crossing the very same boundaries it constructed. As ethnicity became a crucial aspect of
one’s identity, it is not surprising that bilingual polyonymy was well attested among those that formed
a bridge between the ruling class and the Egyptian population: particularly military, administrative
and priestly officials. Since they moved between largely separated ethnic contexts, combining names
of different linguistic origins was a way to negotiate their ethnic identities. Rather than serving as a
reliable source for ethnic origin, names can therefore be interpreted as an expression of the ethnic
identity of an individual in a certain space or context.

This book brings together thirty separate studies of the complex communal and religious history of
the Roman Near East in the period from the conversion of the Emperor Constantine to Christianity
in CE 312 to the first Islamic invasion in CE 632. A newly-written Epilogue, ‘Open Questions’,
reviews the different fields of study involved, and asks how far what we find helps to understand the
origins of Islam. Pagan Greeks and Greek-speaking Christians, as well as Jews and Samaritans using
Hebrew and Aramaic, co-existed, as did a new Christian community using Syriac, a branch of
Aramaic. The complex complex and extensive evidence for this multicultural world has had to be
approached in separate studies, while retaining a sense of communal co-existence and mutual relationships. The papers have been edited so as to appear in a consistent form, and are arranged in groups
intended to offer a coherent overall structure. It is hoped that they will stimulate further work on this
important phase in cultural and religious history.

In recent years, exciting new discoveries of inscriptions and archaeological remains on the Arabian
Peninsula have led to a re-evaluation of the peoples on the Arabian frontier, which through their
extensive contacts with Rome and Persia are now seen as dynamic participants in the Late Antique
world. The present volume contributes to this recent trend by focusing on the contrast between the
‘outside’ sources on the peoples of the frontier – the Roman view – and the ‘inside’ sources, that is,
the precious material produced by the Arabs themselves, and by approaching these sources within an
anthropological framework of how peripheral peoples face larger powers. For the first time, the situation on the Arabian frontier is also compared with that on the southern Egyptian frontier, where
similar sources have been found of peoples such as the Blemmyes and Noubades. Thus, the volume
offers a richly-documented examination of the frontier interactions in these two vibrant and criticallyimportant areas of the Late Antique East.
BETWEEN TARHUNTAS AND ZEUS POLIEUS
Cultural Crossroads in the Temples and Cults of Graeco-Roman Anatolia
DE HOZ M.-P., SANCHEZ J.P., MOLINA C. (eds)
Anatolia is an area of the ancient world with a remarkable borderland character between the Greek
and the Near Eastern worlds. The present book studies several ancient Anatolian cults and sanctuaries,
focusing on the process of interaction between local cultures (Lycian, Carian, Pisidian, Cilician,
Lydian, Pontic), Persians, Greeks and Romans. Which Greek practices did the natives adopt as part
of their own tradition, especially in far-flung regions of ancient traditions help forge a sort of regional
identity in local sanctuaries? Which were the different roles played in this process by the local elites
and the rural native populations? To answer such questions, each specific contribution presents a case
study with a thorough analysis of the available epigraphic, numismatic, literary and archaeological
evidence from a linguistic, historical and religious perspective. Gathered from a vast geographical area
– from Ionia to Cilicia – this book explores different examples of these interactions expressed through
local versions of major Greek and Anatolian deities: the Xanthian Leto, Ma of Comana, the Carian
Sinuri, Mên Askaenos, Meis Axiottenos, Apollo Syrmaios, Artemis Sardiane, Meter Sipylene, a
Cilician Zeus Ceraunius and the river gods.

This book presents an in-depth architecture historical and archaeological analysis of the sanctuary site
at Pessinus. Dr Angelo Verlinde brings together and scrutinizes all the archaeological data that has
been excavated and registered in the period 1967-2008. The discussed topics span a vast period (c.
400 BC - 1000 AD) ranging from the modest early Phrygian dwellings, over the Hellenistic ‘citadel’
and ‘gymnasium’, to the Augustan theatre-temple and its Byzantine afterlife. The emphasis lays on
Roman imperial architecture in Asia Minor, and especially on the mathematical and stylistic design
principles of temples and their Roman influences. The process of reconstruction is elaborated beyond
the traditional showcase-element towards the tentative elucidation of ancient design principles in light
of ‘Vitruvian normality’ and analogous architectural data. For this reason, the book includes a detailed
catalogue of the architectural elements.

Tas-Silġ, on the south-east coast of the island of Malta, is a major multi-period site, with archaeological remains spanning four thousand years. A megalithic temple complex built in the early third
millennium BC gave way to a Phoenician and Punic sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Astarte. The
sacred place underwent major transformations in Roman times, becoming an international religious
complex dedicated to the goddess Juno. Located on the maritime routes plied by mariners and traders,
its fame did not escape the attention of the first-century BC orator Cicero. Excavated as part of a
major archaeological project in the 1960s, the site of Tas-Silġ lay abandoned for several decades. In
1996, the University of Malta renewed excavations at the site for ten seasons, uncovering Neolithic
and Late Bronze Age occupation levels, and substantial deposits associated with ritual offerings of
Punic date. This volume is the first monograph of the final publication of the excavations. It provides
an account of those excavations and of the studies which accompanied them, including the lithic
assemblages, the figurative representations, scarabs and amulets, the worked stone, the coins, and
environmental analyses. It forms a companion volume to the second monograph, which reports on
the pottery and the inscribed pottery.

Cet ouvrage analyse l’origine, l’accueil et le traitement des ambassadeurs étrangers dans l’Empire
byzantin. Portant sur le temps long, des années 640 à 1204, leur étude bouscule les traditionnels
clivages historiographiques. S’intéressant tout d’abord aux origines sociales, politiques ou intellectuelles des émissaires officiels, tout comme aux pouvoirs qui leur sont dévolus, ce travail met de fait en
parallèle les cercles politiques de l’Occident chrétien, de l’Islam et des divers voisins septentrionaux du
monde byzantin. Les conditions de déplacements dans l’Empire sont présentées, soulignant combien
une délégation diplomatique effectue un voyage au cœur des enjeux géopolitiques. La grande variété
des sources – grecques comme non-grecques, narratives comme normatives – permet aussi
d’appréhender le séjour des représentants de souverains à Constantinople, depuis l’accueil solennel et
les cérémonies au palais des basileis jusqu’aux conditions de logement et de surveillance. Le rôle de
passeurs joué par ces hommes, figures d’un entre-deux culturel, est enfin mis en exergue. De la sorte,
ces multiples ambassadeurs constituent un prisme privilégié d’étude de la diplomatie byzantine.

Le commentaire astronomique aux
TablesFaciles de Ptolémée attribué à
Stéphanos d’Alexandrie
Le Papyrus Fouad inv. 267 A est un document d’une importance exceptionnelle pour l’histoire de
l’astronomie ancienne. Il s’agit d’un fragment de traité rédigé à Alexandrie vers 130 après Jésus-Christ.
La partie conservée, qui occupe le recto et le verso d’un seul folio, concerne le Soleil dont la longitude
est calculée en fonction de trois différentes années: l’année sidérale, l’année «moyenne» de 365 jours
1/4 et l’année tropique. Le texte donne un exemple pris le 9 novembre 130 p. C. à 3h depuis minuit.
L’auteur se réfère aux observations d’Hipparche dont il mentionne une observation faite au solstice
d’été en 158 avant Jésus-Christ. Le présent volume donne une description détaillée du papyrus, une
édition diplomatique et une édition normalisée par Jean-Luc Fournet, ainsi qu’une traduction suivie
de notes paléographiques et explicatives par Jean-Luc Fournet et Anne Tihon. Le commentaire par
Anne Tihon suit le texte pas à pas et est accompagnée d’un glossaire et de photos en couleur. Une
annexe par Raymond Mercier donne une reconstruction des tables et une brève analyse mathématique.

Composé à Constantinople vers 619 apr. J.-C., le commentaire aux Tables Faciles de Ptolémée attribué
à Stéphanos d’Alexandrie est le premier traité byzantin d’astronomie. Il s’agit d’un mode d’emploi des
tables de Ptolémée, rédigé dans un cadre scolaire et laissé à l’état de première ébauche. Fondé sur le
Petit Commentaire de Théon d’Alexandrie, le texte est une adaptation des calculs astronomiques aux
coordonnées de la capitale byzantine. L’auteur livre les procédés de calcul à partir des Tables Faciles
ainsi qu’un exemple pour chaque problème astronomique. L’originalité du manuel est le nombre
d’exemples donnés, l’emploi de tables spéciales pour le climat de Byzance et de l’ère chronologique de
Constantin le Grand, et l’ajout de quelques scolies par l’empereur Héraclius. Cet ouvrage présente une
étude de la tradition manuscrite et l’histoire du texte ainsi qu’une édition critique avec traduction
française des chapitres 1 à 16 du manuel. Ceux-ci ont pour sujet les sections et la conversion du temps,
l’horoscope, la culmination, la longitude solaire et lunaire, l’oblique du Soleil, la latitude de la Lune,
les syzygies, les parallaxes et l’éclipse de Lune, et sont accompagnés d’un commentaire détaillé. Les
chapitres 17 à 30 feront l’objet d’une publication ultérieure.

Despite the large increase in material evidence datable to the Theodosian period (379-455 C.E.),
textual sources still dominate our view of the period. This has led to a pretty bleak picture made up
of foreign invasions, loss of territory, a weak ruler dynasty, a state-driven distribution system, and
declining cities. And yet, many regions of the Roman Empire seem to have been doing quite well. For
this reason, this volume aims at a re-evaluation of the prosperity of the Roman Empire under the
Theodosii. Archaeological, historical, epigraphic and numismatic research are combined to investigate
the vitality and socio-economic potential of distinct regions of the empire; to explore the relative
importance of cities, villages, fortresses and estates in patterns of purchase and consumption; to gain
insights into the mechanisms and forces underlying production, distribution and consumption of both
staple goods and luxury products; and, eventually, to offer explanations for the general condition and
functioning of the empire.

Der Kommentar Cyrills von Alexandrien († 444) zum 1. Korintherbrief des Apostels Paulus gehörte
bisher wohl zu den unbekanntesten Schriften der patristischen Literatur. Die vorliegende Studie stellt
die erste umfassende wissenschaftliche Untersuchung dieses fast vergessenen Werkes dar. Sie präsentiert erstmalig alle Handschriften, in denen griechische Fragmente des Kommentars überliefert sind,
und bietet die erste kritische Edition der Schrift sowie deren erste Übersetzung in eine moderne
Sprache. Sie unternimmt darüber hinaus zum ersten Mal den Versuch, anhand einer eingehenden
Analyse der hierfür maßgeblichen Stellen die Abfassungzeit des Werkes zu bestimmen sowie dessen
sprachlich-stilistische Merkmale zu benennen. Im Mittelpunkt der Studie steht – neben der Edition
der erhaltenen griechischen Fragmente des Kommentars – eine detaillierte exegetisch-theologische
Analyse der Schrift. Die Untersuchung schließt mit einer komprimierenden Darstellung der von
Cyrill im analysierten Kommentar behandelten Themen sowie mit einer zusammenfassenden
Präsentierung der exegetisch-hermeneutischen Prinzipien der Bibelauslegung des alexandrinischen
Patriarchen. Als Kurzsynthese der vorliegenden Studie kann festgehalten werden: Der Kommentar
Cyrills von Alexandrien zum 1. Korintherbrief ist ein Werk von hoher inhaltlicher Komplexität, eine
hervorragende Fundgrube für jeden, der erfahren und lernen möchte, was es konkret bedeutet, die
biblische Botschaft aktualisierend auszulegen.
