GLASS OF THE ROMAN WORLDEdited by Justine Bayley, Ian Freestone & Caroline Jackson

Glass of the Roman World illustrates the arrival of newcultural systems, mechanisms of trade and an expandedeconomic base in the early 1st millennium AD which, incombination, allowed the further development of the existing glass industry. Glass became something whichencompassed more than simply a novel and highly decorative material. Glass production grew and its consumption increased until it was assimilated into alllevels of society, used for display and luxury items butequally for utilitarian containers, windows and eventools. These 18 papers by renowned international scholars

include studies of glass from Europe and the Near East. The authors write on a varietyof topics where their work is at the forefront of new approaches to the subject. Theyboth extend and consolidate aspects of our understanding of how glass was produced,traded and used throughout the Empire and the wider world drawing on chronology,typology, patterns of distribution, and other methodologies, including the incorporationof new scientific methods.

TOOLS, TEXTILES AND CONTEXTStextile production in the aegean andeastern mediterranean bronze ageEdited by Eva Andersson Strand & Marie-Louise Nosch

Textile production is one of the most important craftsin Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age societies and recent interdisciplinary and collaborativework offers crucial new perspectives into this field. The new and updated catalog of archaeological textilefinds presented here clearly demonstrates, even from thefew extant finds, that knowledge of the use of fibres andof elaborate textile techniques that were used to producetextiles of different qualities was well developed.

The functional analysis of spindle whorls and loom weights can be explored throughexperimental archaeology employing newly developed methodologies. The results bringnew insights into the types of textile that may potentially have been made by such tools.This is highly pertinent as textile tools often constitute the single most important andplentiful type of evidence for the various stages of textile production in the archaeologicalrecord. The combination of experimental archaeology, analyses of textile tools and find contexts allows for a discussion of the nature of textile production at different sites,regions and time periods.

PREHISTORIC, ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN &AEGEAN TEXTILES AND DRESSan interdisciplinary anthologyEdited by Marie-Louise Nosch, Cécile Michel & Mary Harlow

Textile and dress production, from raw materials to finished items, has had a significant impact on societyfrom its earliest history. The essays in this volume offer a fresh insight into the emerging interdisciplinary researchfield of textile and dress studies by discussing archaeological,iconographical and textual evidence within a broad geographical and chronological spectrum. The thirteenchapters explore issues, such as the analysis of textile

tools, especially spindle whorls, and textile imprints for reconstructing textile productionin contexts as different as Neolithic Transylvania, the Early Bronze Age North Aegeanand the Early Iron Age Eastern Mediterranean; the importance of cuneiform clay tabletsas a documentary source for both drawing a detailed picture of the administration of atextile industry and for addressing gender issues, such as the construction of masculinityin the Sumerian kingdoms of the 3rd millennium BC; and discussions of royal andpriestly costumes and clothing ornaments in the Mesopotamian kingdom of Mari andin Mycenaean culture.

DICTIONARY OF CLASSICALMYTHOLOGYBy Jennifer R. March

Jenny March’s Dictionary of Classical Mythology, firstpublished in 1998 but long out of print, has been revisedand expanded including a completely new set of beautifulline-drawing illustrations for this Oxbow edition. It is acomprehensive A – Z guide to Greek and Romanmythology. All major myths, legends and fables are here, including gods and goddesses, heroes and villains,dangerous women, legendary creatures and monsters.Characters such as Achilles and Odysseus have extensiveentries, as do epic journeys and heroic quests, like that

of Jason and the Argonauts to win the Golden Fleece, all alongside a plethora of information on the creation of the cosmos, the many metamorphoses of gods and humans, and the Trojan War, plus more minor figures – nymphs, seers, kings, rivers, toname but a few.

In this superbly authoritative work the myths are brilliantly retold, along with any majorvariants, and with extensive translations from ancient authors that give life to the narratives and a sense of the vibrant cultures that shaped the development of classicalmyth. The 172 illustrations give visual immediacy to the words, by showing how ancientartists perceived their gods and heroes. The impact of myths on ancient art is also explored, as is and their influence in the post-classical arts, emphasising the ongoing inspiration afforded by the ancient myths.

Also included are two maps of the ancient world, a list of the ancient sources and theirchronology, the more important genealogies, and an index of recurrent mythical motifs.

A TEST OF TIME AND A TEST OFTIME REVISITEDthe volcano of thera and thechronology and history of the aegeanand east mediterranean in the midsecond millennium bcBy Sturt Manning

The eruption of the Thera (Santorini) volcano in theAegean Sea in the mid-second millennium BC was aclearly defined, specific moment in Aegean and eastMediterranean prehistory that impacted on all the majorcultures of the region. The effects of the eruption havebeen linked with the destruction of the Minoan palace

civilization of Crete, the legend of Atlantis, and even events described in the Biblical account of the Exodus. Scientists have studied the remains of the volcano and tracederuption products and far-flung climatic impacts throughout the east Mediterraneanand in ice cores and tree-ring data. At Akrotiri, a major prehistoric town buried by theeruption, archaeologists unearthed the partially intact remains multi-storey buildings,painted frescoes and myriad objects of everyday life.

The date of the eruption has long been a subject of importance and controversy sinceaccurate dating would offer a unique linchpin for the study and synchronisation of thehistory and cultures of the region in the mid-second millennium. It would provide a key test both for the established historical chronology of ancient Egypt and derived archaeological chronologies.

A Test of Time, first published in 1999, sought to resolve the issue through a critical review of the archaeological and scientific data, including the presentation of radiocarbondates, which together suggested a new ‘early’ chronology for the Aegean c. 1700–1400BC. This edition comprises the original, unrevised text, together with a substantial newappended essay which critically reviews the continuing debate between 1999 and 2012and presents a raft of new scientific data, including the Bayesian modelling of radiocarbondates relating to a range of relevant archaeological sequences from Egypt and the easternMediterranean. 2nd edition

BUILDING FOR ETERNITYthe history and technology of romanconcrete engineering in the seaBy C.J. Brandon, R.L. Hohlfelder, M.D. Jackson & J.P. Oleson

One marker of the majesty of ancient Rome is its surviving architectural legacy, the stunning remains of which are scattered throughout the circum-Mediter-ranean landscape. Surprisingly, one truly remarkable aspect of this heritage remains relatively unknown.There exists beneath the waters of the Mediterranean thephysical remnants of a vast maritime infrastructure thatsustained and connected the western world’s first global

empire and economy. The key to this incredible accomplishment and to the survival ofstructures in the hostile environment of the sea for two thousand years was maritimeconcrete, a building material invented and then employed by Roman builders on a grandscale to construct harbor installations anywhere they were needed, rather than only in locations with advantageous geography or topography. This book explains how the Romans built so successfully in the sea with their new invention. The story is a stimulating mix of archaeological, geological, historical and chemical research, with relevance to both ancient and modern technology.

GREEK ARCHAEODIET AND STABLEISOTOPE ANALYSISEdited by Anastasia Papathanasiou & Michael Richards

The analysis of stable isotope ratios of carbonand nitrogen in bone collagen provides a powerful tool for reconstructing past diets,since it provides the only direct evidence of thefoods that were actually consumed. The articlesdescribe the application of the methodology tothe archaeology of Greece, a country that hasbeen isotopically studied more extensively than

any other place in the world. The archaeological issues that can be addressed using stableisotope methods include the importance of fishing, the possible early introduction ofmillet, the nature of childrearing including weaning age and weaning foods, temporalshifts in protein consumption, differential access to certain foods associated with socialstatus, as well as gender, age, and cultural differences in dietary patterns. Knowing whatpeople ate has vital implications for our understanding of past environments andeconomies, subsistence strategies, and nutrition. Hesperia Supplements 49

THE SANCTUARY OF ATHENA AT SOUNIONBy Barbara A. Barletta

The Temple of Athena at Sounion is one of the more unusual examples of Greek architecture. It was con-structed with colonnades on only two—but adjacent—sides, and in the Ionic order characteristic of the AegeanIslands even though it was built in Attica. When thetemple was excavated at the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries, little was found on site. Instead, subsequent excavations in the Athenian Agora recovered many of the missing building members,which had been reused in a Roman-period temple. A new study of the temple, including the material

from Athens, was initiated by H. A. Thompson and W. B. Dinsmoor Jr. but was nevercompleted. The current book builds on their work to provide for the first time a comprehensive view of the temple and its sanctuary. Ancient Art and Architecture in Context 4

FUNERARY SCULPTUREBy Janet Grossman

Funerary Sculpture is the first volume on sculpture fromthe Agora in over 50 years, bringing together all thesculpted funerary monuments of the Athenian Agora,Classical through Roman periods, which were discoveredduring excavation from 1931 through 2009. The widechronological span allows the author to trace changes infunerary monuments, particularly the break in customsthat took place in 317 B.C., and the revival of figuredmonuments in the Roman period.The study consists ofthree essays followed by a catalogue of 389 objects. Theauthor places the Agora sculptural fragments within the

greater context of Attic funerary sculpture, moving from a general to a specific treatmentof the funerary sculpture. The first essay is an overview of the study of Attic types ofsculpture; the second discusses the specific features of funerary sculpture from Athensand Attica; and the third examines the characteristics of the funerary sculptures foundin the Agora, thereby forming an introduction to the catalogue that follows.

INDUSTRIAL RELIGIONthe saucer pyres of the athenian agoraBy Susan Rotroff

This study focuses on the “saucer pyres,” a series of 70 deposits excavated in the residential and industrialareas bordering the Athenian Agora. Each consisted of a shallow pit, its floor sometimes marked by heavyburning, with a votive deposit of pottery and fragmentsof burnt bone, ash, and charcoal. Most of the pots wereminiatures but a few larger vessels were found, alongwith offerings associated with funerary cult. The depositsrepresent a largely Athenian phenomenon, with few parallels elsewhere. Recent zooarchaeological analysis

of the bones, however, reveals that they are the remains of sheep and goats, and that thedeposits were sacrificial rather than funerary. The present study investigates the natureof those sacrifices, taking into account the contents of the pyres, their spatial distribution,and their relationship to buildings around the Agora and elsewhere. The author arguesthat the pyres document workplace rituals were designed to protect artisans and theirenterprises. Hesperia Supplements 47

THE SANCTUARY OF DEMETER AND KOREthe inscriptionsBy Ronald Stroud

Excavations conducted by the American School of ClassicalStudies at Athens in the Sanctuary of Demeter and Koreon Acrocorinth, 1961-1975, produced more than 170 inscribed objects of stone, bronze, and bone, as well aslead weights, mosaics, dipinti and graffiti on pottery, claypinakes, and magical lead tablets. All of the inscriptionsin this volume are transcribed, and the author relatesthem to an overall interpretation of the activities, secularand religious, attested in this shrine during its long period of use from the 7th century B.C. until the end of

the 4th century A.D. Where possible, the author also draws out their implications forand contribution to the history of ancient Corinth, the worship of the goddesses Demeterand Kore, and the practice of magic, especially in the Roman period. Corinth XVIII.6

HUNTERS, HEROES, KINGSthe frieze of tomb ii at verginaBy Hallie M. Franks

This monograph considers the painted frieze on the facade of Tomb II at Vergina (ca. 330-280 B.C.) as a visualdocument that offers vital evidence for the public self-stylings of Macedonian royalty in the era surroundingthe reign of Alexander the Great. The hunting scene onthe frieze reflects the construction of Macedonian royalidentity through the appeal to specific and long-standingcultural traditions, which emerged, long before Alexandersreign, from a complex negotiation of claims to heroicand local dynastic pasts, regional ideals of kingship, and

models of royal behavior provided by the East. Ancient Art and Architecture in Context 3

LATE CLASSICAL POTTERY FROM ANCIENTCORINTHdrain 1971-1 in the forum southwestBy Ian McPhee & Elizabeth G. Pemberton

In 1971, in the southwestern area of the Roman Forumof Corinth, a round-bottomed drainage channel was discovered filled with the largest deposit of pottery ofthe 4th century ever found in the city, as well as somecoins, terracotta figurines, and metal and stone objects.This volume publishes the pottery and metal and stoneobjects, and includes a re-examination of the coins byOrestes Zervos. Some of the cooking ware has beensubjected to neutron activation analysis, and a statistical

analysis of all recovered pottery has been completed. The contents of Drain 1971-1 areimportant for the function of the Classical buildings in this part of Corinth, especiallyBuildings I and II, and for the chronology of the renovation program that included theconstruction of the South Stoa, which was probably not built before the last decade ofthe 4th century.

This book presents the first well-preserved set of sympoticpottery which served a Late Archaic house in the AthenianAgora. The deposit contains household and fine-ware pottery, nearly all the figured pieces of which are forms associated with communal drinking. Since it comes froma single house, the pottery also reflects purchasing patternsand thematic preferences of the homeowner. The multifacetedapproach adopted in this book shows that meaning anduse are inherently related. Hesperia Supplements 46

IL DUOMO DI SIENAexcavations and pottery belowthe siena cathedralBy Gabriele Castiglia

This book is the result of the processing of the excava-tion data and of the pottery coming from the stratigra-phy underneath the cathedral of Siena. The surveys wereconducted between August 2000 and May 2003 by theDepartment of Archaeology and History of Arts of theUniversity of Siena, with the scientific coordination ofProf. Riccardo Francovich and Prof. Marco Valenti andthe collaboration of the Opera del Duomo di Siena. Theultimate goal is to trace a view of the settlement types

and economic framework that has affected the hill of the Cathedral from the Classicalage to the late Middle Ages, combining stratigraphic data and the study of materials. Thelimited planimetric extension of the excavations (often physiological to urban contexts)did not allow an investigation in open area, so the findings have often been comparedwith those coming from the deposits investigated in the immediate vicinity, both in frontand below the Santa Maria della Scala, in order to obtain a more complete and articulatedperspective on a diachronic context.

TOWNS IN THE DARKurban transformations from late romanbritain to anglo-saxon englandBy Gavin Speed

What became of towns following the official end of‘Roman Britain’ at the beginning of the 5th century AD?Did towns fail? Were these ruinous sites really neglectedby early Anglo-Saxon settlers and leaders? Developednew archaeologies are starting to offer alternative pictures to the traditional images of urban decay and lossrevealing diverse modes of material expression, of usageof space, and of structural change. The focus of this bookis to draw together still scattered data to chart and

interpret the changing nature of life in towns from the late Roman period through tothe mid-Anglo-Saxon period. The research centers on towns that have received sufficientarchaeological intervention so that meaningful patterns can be traced. The case studiesare arranged into three regional areas: the South-East, South-West, and Midlands. Individually each town contains varying levels of archaeological data, but analyzed together these illustrate more clearly patterns of evolution. Much of the data exists as accessible but largely unpublished reports, or isolated within regional discussions.Detailed analysis, review and comparisons generate significant scope for modelling‘urban’ change in England from AD 300-600.

Discussions and scientific exchange are crucial for theadvancement of a young discipline such as the study ofRoman pottery in the Near East. Therefore, in additionto large conferences such as the ‘Late Roman CoarseWare Conference’ (LRCW) where the Near East playsonly a marginal role, an international workshop with 20participants dedicated solely to the study of Roman

common ware pottery in the Near East was held in Berlin on 18th and 19th February2010. The goal of this workshop was to provide researchers actively engaged in the studyof Roman common wares the possibility to meet and discuss the current state of research as well as questions and problems they are facing with their material.

ÁNFORAS VINARIAS DE HISPANIACITERIOR-TARRACONENSIS(S. I A.C.– I D.C.)caracterización arqueométricaBy Verònica Martínez Ferreras

This volume presents the results of a multidisciplinaryarchaeological and archaeometric study of the wine amphorae produced in Hispania Citerior (Tarraconensis,in Augustus’ reorganization) between the first centuryBC and the first century AD. Wine production expandedin this area at the beginning of the first century BC, as new Roman towns were founded and new farms orvillae gradually emerged in rural areas. However, it was

during Augustus’ reign that wine production and trade reached their peak. The studyaims to shed new light on the composition of the wine amphorae produced in this areaas well as on the technological processes involved in their manufacture along within theperiod considered. For that, the study includes the characterisation of several amphoratypes produced in various ceramic workshops located along the Catalan coast whichinitiated pottery activity at different times. All the available archaeological informationfor each case study is reviewed, considering data referring to the production centers andalso to the geology and the environment in which the pottery workshops were located.Spanish text with English summary.

THE TRIUMPH OF DIONYSOSconvivial processions, fromantiquity to the present dayBy John Boardman

Dionysos carried the blessing of wine to the wholeworld, and his triumphant return from India became apopular subject for the arts of Greece and Rome in manymedia. It became associated with Alexander the Great’scomparable victories and later served as a message ofimmortality for any mortal prince. The iconographysurvived the ancient world into Renaissance and neo-Classical arts, and may even have contributed to the practices of modern circus parades with their wildanimals, maenad-snake-charmers and clown-satyrs: an

unusual, indeed unique, survival.

THE ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN TRADE INCERAMIC BUILDING MATERIALSa case study in carthage and beirutBy Philip Mills

This study (the second volume in the Archaeopress seriesdevoted to the publication of ceramics in the RomanMediterranean and outlying territories from the late Re-public to late Antiquity) addresses the level of interregionaltrade of ceramic building material (CBM), traditionally seenas a high bulk low value commodity, within the ancientMediterranean between the third century BC and the seventh century AD. It examines the impact of different

modes of production, distribution and consumption of CBM and how archaeologicalassemblages differ from what is predicted by current models of the ancient economy. Italso explores how CBM can be used to investigate cultural identity and urban form. CBMhas great potential in investigating these topics. It survives in large quantities in the archaeological record; it is transported as a commodity in its own right, not as a container for other products like amphorae. The amount of CBM used in a building canbe estimated, and this can be extrapolated to urban centers to model consumption in ways that are not possible for other goods. This allows the potential derivation of economic information to a higher level of precision than is the case for other materials.

LRFW 1 LATE ROMAN FINE WARESsolving problems of typology and chronology. areview of the evidence, debate and new contextsBy Miguel Angel Cau, Paul Reynolds & Michel Bonifay

In November 2008, an ICREA/ESF Exploratory Workshopon the subject of late Roman fine wares was held inBarcelona, the main aim being the clarification of problemsregarding the typology and chronology of the three principal table wares found in Mediterranean contexts(African Red Slip Ware, Late Roman C and Late Roman D).The discussion highlighted the need to undertake a similarapproach for other ceramic classes across the Mediter-

ranean provinces. In addition, it was perceived that ceramic studies are often dispersedand in such a variety of publications that it is difficult to follow progress in this vastfield. Therefore, a series devoted to Roman and late Antique pottery in the Mediterraneanwas proposed to serve as a reference point for all potential authors devoted to potterystudies on a pan-Mediterranean basis. The creation of such a series would not only serveas a means of publishing the results of the ICREA/ESF workshop but also as a networkfor publication of in-depth monographs devoted to archaeological ceramics of theMediterranean in the Roman and late Antique periods. Therefore, with this first volumeon ceramic assemblages and the dating of late Roman fine wares, Archaeopress are delighted to launch this new series devoted to the publication of ceramics in the RomanMediterranean and outlying territories from the late Republic to late Antiquity.

WROXETER, THE CORNOVII AND THE URBAN PROCESSvolume 2: characterizing the city. finalreport of the wroxeter hinterland project, 1994-97 By R. H. White, C. Gaffney & V. L. Gaffney

In the mid 1990s, the site of the Roman city of ViroconiumCornoviorum at Wroxeter, Shropshire, was subjected to one of themost intensive campaigns of geophysical survey ever carried outon a Roman town. The result was a complete plan of the city usingmagnetometry but also significant deployment of other technologies

including resistance, GPR and more experimental technologies. Since that time, geo-physical survey has continued intermittently, using the site as a geophysical laboratory.This volume reports on the archaeological interpretation of this work, marrying the extensive and nuanced geophysical data with a detailed analysis of the existing aerialphotographic record created by Arnold Baker during the 1950s to 1980s. The resultingwork is the first insula by insula description of all the visible buildings in the town, thefirst time that this has been attempted for a Romano-British town, and one of the fewattempted anywhere in the Empire.

ARCHAEOGRAPHIESexcavating neolithic dispilioBy Fotis Ifantidis

The close relationship between photography and archaeologyis widely acknowledged. Since its invention, photographyhas been an indispensable documentation tool for archaeology,while the development of digital technology has facilitatedthe growing needs of an archaeological excavation in recording

and archiving. Still, both photography and archaeology are much more than documen-tation practices. On the one hand, photography is the most appropriate medium for cre-ating visual art; on the other, the excavation is a locus where material and immaterialknowledges are constantly being produced, reproduced and represented; as such, it constitutes an ideal “topos” for experimentation in creating images. This entangled relationship between photography and archaeology, and art and documentation, hasonly recently attracted attention, emerging as a separate field of study. Archaeographies:Excavating Neolithic Dispilio consists one of the very first experimentations in printedformat, dealing with this visual interplay between archaeology and photography. The case study is the excavation of the Greek Neolithic settlement of Dispilio. The booktackles archaeological practice on site, the microcosms of excavation, and the interactionbetween people and “things.” Archaeographies derives from an on-going, blog-basedproject, launched in 2006 (visualizingneolithic.com).

THE MEROË HEAD OF AUGUSTUSBy Thorsten Opper

Made from Bronze with eyes inlaid with glass pupils set in metalrings, the 'Meroe Head' is a magnificent portrait of Julius Caesar'sgreat nephew and adopted heir Augustus. Once forming part of a statue of Rome's revered first true emperor - one of many suchstatues that were erected in Egyptian towns - the head was violently separated from the body and carried away in triumph byancient Meroitic tribesman shortly after its creation. For nearly

two millennia it remained buried in front of a temple in their capital city of Meroe, sothat worshippers ritually had to trample the face of the supreme leader of Rome. Thehead was recovered in 1910 and is one of the British Museum's most treasured objects.Objects In Focus

THE PARTHENONpower and politics on the acropolisBy David Stuttard

The Parthenon is one of the world’s most iconic buildings. Todayits silhouette symbolizes Greece. In fifth century BC Athens it was the proud embodiment of the power not only of that city’sempire, but of the politicians who had commissioned it: part warmemorial, part treasure trove of some of the most outstanding art of its age. This book tells the dramatic story of the conception

and creation of the Parthenon, setting it against a turbulent historical background and rooting the building firmly in the real and mythological landscape of Athens. Featuring a cast of memorable characters, this beautifully illustrated book features atmospheric site photography and rich details from the Parthenon sculptures and otherrelated artworks.

MONEY, TRADE AND TRADE ROUTES INPRE-ISLAMIC NORTH AFRICAEdited by Amelia Dowler & Elizabeth R. Galvin

This book expands upon a conference held at the BritishMuseum in 2008 that brought together scholars from differing fields specialising in ancient North Africa. This multidisciplinary approach allowed a number of subjects to be enriched through comparative evidence. The conference concentrated on the area the Romans knewas "Africa" (the area of the modern Maghreb) to draw outevidence for trade and interaction amongst groups in centraland western North Africa, allowing themes of trade and

cultural influence to emerge from the interactions of the various ethnic groups in thepre-Islamic period. British Museum Research Publication 176

THE FROME HOARDBy Sam Moorhead, Anna Booth & Roger Bland

On 9 April 2010, Dave Crisp found 21 coins while metaldetecting on farmland near Frome. Two days later, hereturned to the site and discovered a huge pot filled withmore coins. Archaeologists believe the hoard willrewrite the history books. One of the most importantaspects of the hoard is that it contains a large group ofcoins of Carausius, who ruled Britain independently

from AD 286 to AD 293 and who was the first Roman emperor ever to strike coins inBritain. The hoard contains more than 760 of his coins, making it the largest group everfound. This accessible book is written by experts from the British Museum and thePortable Antiquities Scheme.

COSMETIC SETS OF LATE IRON AGE ANDROMAN BRITAINBy Ralph Jackson

Cosmetic sets are small two-piece bronze toilet implementsfor the preparation of mineral powders, probably coloringsfor the eyelids and face. Found almost exclusively inBritain, they range in date from the Late Iron Age to the 4thcentury. An association with fertility is indicated by thecrescent shape, by overtly phallic imagery and by the twinningof male and female animal heads. Ralph Jackson's researchled to proper recognition of the type, and subsequently theBritish Museum has built up the largest single collection

(160 examples). British Museum Research Publication 181

LEGIONS IN CRISIStransformation of theroman soldier ad 192–284By Paul Elliott

The third century AD was a turbulent and testing time forthe Roman Empire. A new andpowerful foe in the east hadrisen up to challenge Rome. Barbarians on the northernfrontiers were now more ag-

gressive and more numerous than before and internallythe population of the empire had to contend with rampant inflation and a series of terrible plagues. Unfortunately, the chaos became magnified by a lack of continuity on the imperial throne. The army had realpolitical power in the third century, making and unmakingemperors as it saw fit. While the army gained rapidly insize, stature and political savvy during the reign of SeptimiusSeverus, it also accelerated a material transformation.

The discoveryhere of the largest group of Romano-British round housesyet excavated in London, clustered round a rectangularbuilding, is of considerable significance for the Iron Age–Roman transition. Significant finds include a double goldfinger ring of the 1st century AD, while close study of facepots and tazze leads to a rethinking of their possible ritualfunctions. MOLAS Monograph 67

ISSUS & GAUGAMELAalexander the great vs darius iiiBy Frédéric Bey

In just three years and two battles against the 'king ofkings' Darius III, the young monarch of Macedoniabrought the great Persia to its knees. Alexander theGreat, with the help of the mighty Macedonian war machine – phalanx, heavy cavalry – overcame thePersian army at Issus (-333), opening the doors ofPhenicia, Syria and Egypt. At Gaugamela (-331), thetwo rivals and their soldiers fight again a decisive battlewhich see the death of Darius and the accession ofAlexander as the new ruler of the ancient East. From

a military point of view, the victories of Alexander show both a tactical genius and apersonal involvement from the young leader in the heart of battle. Men and Battles 15

LA GUERRE DES GAULESBy Frédéric Bey

In the last century BC, the still independent Gaul wasinvolved in the process of expanding the Romanpower. In a more direct way, Gaul became a purely political issue between the triumvirs Pompey, Crassusand Caesar, when they got hold of an ending Republic.It was therefore a victim of issue that was foreign to Gaulwhen it entered the political strategy of Julius Caesar.

SPARTA’S LAST STANDBy Alex Dimond

By the time Cleomenes III becameking in 235 BC, Spartan power and prestige had been in steady decline for a century and a half. The state that had defied the Persiansat Thermopylae and Plataea andhumbled the Athenians in the

Peloponnesian War was reduced to a minor player inGreek affairs. Sparta had never recovered from defeat bythe Thebans at Leuktra in 371 BC. Much of its territoryhad been lost and its army, once feared and respectedthroughout the Eastern Mediterranean, was outdated andcrippled by a chronic manpower shortage.

In AD383, according to BishopEucherius of Lyon, floodingcaused part of the bank of theRiver Rhone to collapse, revealinga massed grave of thousands of

bodies. Eucherius identified these as a legion recruited forthe Roman army from the Christians of the Theban districtin Egypt, whom he claimed had been massacred nearly acentury previously (near the modern village of St Maurice-en-Valais in southwestern Switzerland) for refusing toobey orders they considered immoral. This incident, asserted by Eucherius as matter of fact, is unrecorded else-where. Even the existence of this Theban legion is unclear.

MARK ANTONYa plain blunt manBy Paolo De Ruggiero

Mark Antony was embroiled inthe tumultuous events of themid-1st century BC, which sawthe violent transformation fromthe Roman Republic to theRoman Empire. After being defeated by Augustus he has

often been characterized by hostile historians as a loyalhenchman of his uncle Julius Caesar but without the guileand vision to attain greatness in his own right (henceShakespeare casts him as a 'plain, blunt man' whom Caesar's assassins don't think it worthwhile to kill). In hisinfamous alliance and love affair with Cleopatra of Egypthe is also often seen as duped and manipulated by asharper mind. Despite this there is no doubt Antony wasa capable soldier.

SULLAa dictator reconsideredBy Lynda Telford

Lucius Cornelius Sulla is one ofthe central figures of the lateRoman Republic. Indeed, he isoften considered a major catalystin the death of the republicansystem. The ambitious generalwhose feud with a rival (Marius)

led to his marching on Rome with an army at his back,leading to civil war and the terrible internecine bloodlet-ting of the proscriptions. In these things, and in his appropriation of the title of dictator with absolute power,he set a dangerous precedent to be followed by Julius Caesar a generation later. Lynda Telford believes Sulla'sportrayal as a monstrous, brutal tyrant is unjustified.While accepting that he was responsible for much blood-shed, she contends that he was no more brutal than manyof his contemporaries.

AESCHYLUS: SUPPLIANT WOMENBy A. J. Bowen

Aeschylus starts his tetralogy boldly, making the Danaids themselvesprologue, chorus and protagonist. Guided by their father Danaus,these girls have fled from Egypt, where their cousins want tomarry them, to seek asylum in Argos: they claim descent from Io,who was driven to Egypt five generations earlier when Zeus’ lovefor her was detected by jealous Hera. In the long first movement ofthe play the Danaids argue their claim, pressing it with song and

dance of pathos and power, upon the reluctant Argive king. A remarkable tussle of twochoruses ensues; in the nick of time the king arrives, sees off the Egyptians (but theypromise a return) and offers his hospitality. Aris & Phillips Classical Texts

HINDSIGHT IN GREEK ANDROMAN HISTORYEdited by Anton Powell

One of the most fertile and fast-developing themes of recent histo-riography is treated by the 10 papers in this volume. The historyof the ancient world has traditionallybeen studied with a view to tracing

the origins of those grand developments which eventuallyoccurred. The writing of history is often simplified so asto read almost teleologically. Further, even real and quitegrand events are likely to be neglected if they do not seemto have led to larger developments still.

VIRGIL THE PARTISANa study in the re-integrationof classicsBy Anton Powell

orthodoxy that Virgil signalled distaste for the methodsof his ruler, Octavian-Augustus. It refreshes the study ofVirgil's poetry by comparing it with the detail of Rome'scivil wars after Julius Caesar's death.

modern medicine. Consolation for the trauma of loss had,accordingly, a more prominent role to play. This volumepresents eight studies on consolatory writings from ancient Greek, Roman, early Christian and Arabic societies.

VELLEIUS PATERCULUSmaking historyEdited by Eleanor Cowan

Velleius Paterculus' short workis the earliest surviving attempton the part of a post-Augustanhistorian to survey the historyof the res publica from its originsto his own times. In a periodfrom which no other contem-

porary historical narrative survives in more than meagrefragments, Velleius' work is uniquely important. It is acritical counter to the later accounts of Tacitus, Suetoniusand Cassius Dio, not simply because it offers a differentview of Tiberius, but because Velleius saw continuitywhere later authors saw only radical change which de-stroyed the Republic and put monarchy in its place. Forother reasons, too, Velleius occupies a unique position inRoman historiography. This collection of papers, by a dis-tinguished cast of scholars, represents a wide-ranging re-examination of Velleius' work, of its place within, andcontribution to, Roman historiography and the intellec-tual history of the early Principate.

EMBRACING THE IMMIGRANTthe participation of meticsin athenian polis religion(5th–4th century bc)By Sara M. Wijma

What does it mean to belong to acommunity? How is membershipconceptualised and in what way isthe position of newcomers negoti-

ated and the community’s cohesion secured? Althoughno clear definition of citizenship survives from classicalAthens, many sources include the statement that belongingto the polis consisted of participation in public life, oftenspecified as sharing in the ritual obligations of the Athenians. This book explores this notion of the polis asa cultic and participatory community. Historia - Einzelschrift 223

The search for knowledge of thefuture and for divine help isfound in all ancient Mediter-ranean cultures. The key ques-tion of this book is: What arethe interdependences between

divination and processes of individualization or de-individualization in the ancient world? Individualizationis understood as a process of change on the societal level.In contrast, individuation is a development on the personal level. Discussions about the definition of theseterms are continuing. Divination may always have someeffects on processes of individuation and individualiza-tion.This book covers aspects from archaic Greece to theHigh Empire and not all articles argue along the samelines.

REINSTATING THEHOPLITEarms, armour and phalanxfighting in archaic andclassical greeceBy Adam Schwartz

Recent research into the militaryhistory of ancient Greece hasquestioned the central rôle traditionally ascribed to the

famous hoplite phalanx by historians and suggested thateven as late as the Persian Wars of 480479 BC, Greek battles consisted essentially of open fighting and duels between individual combatants, in an almost Homericfashion. In this meticulous study, Adam Schwartz in turnquestions the new orthodoxy. Departing from a detailedscrutiny of hoplite equipment and its physical character-istics, the author demonstrates that this equipment mustin fact have been developed specifically to meet the needsof warriors fighting in phalanx formations.

APOLLODORUSMECHANICUS,SIEGE-MATTERStranslated with introand commentaryBy David Whitehead

Apollodorus of Damascus is thebest-known architect of theearly second century AD, theera of Trajan and Hadrian. In the civil domain, he is credited

with planning and constructing prestigious projects inRome itself, including Trajan's Forum and Baths; in themilitary sphere he bridged the Danube and wrote a Siege-matters treatise for his patron-emperor. Addressed to Trajan rather than Hadrian, and with a view to the campaigning conditions anticipated in Dacia, the treatisetherefore proffered suggestions and designs suitable for aRoman army operating in that rugged terrain and attackingits hill-top settlements.

BACCHYLIDESfive epinician odes (3, 5, 9, 11, 13)By D. L. Cairns & J. G. Howie

Among the works of the fifth-century BC lyric poet Bacchylides are epinician odes celebrating victors in thecycle of Greek Games, which were occasions of majorpolitical, cultural and religious significance in the Greekworld. Fourteen of Bacchylides' epinician odes survivewholly or in part. The five included in this volume arethose that have come down to us in fullest form; they areof great importance for the study of epinician poetry in particular and of early fifth-century lyric in general.In his Introductory Essays and Commentary D. L. Cairns

explicates the social, ethical, cultural, and artistic features of Bacchylidean epinicianwithin the contexts in which it is so deeply embedded. The volume will be of interest toadvanced students and scholars with a good knowledge of the Greek language. It is alsodesigned to be usable by students with little or no Greek. The commentary is keyed tothe translation as well as to the Greek text, and the emphasis throughout is more on con-textual and literary interpretation than on purely technical aspects of language andmetre.

CULT, MYTH, AND OCCASION IN PINDAR’SVICTORY ODESa study of isthmian 4, pythian 5, olympian 1,and olympian 3By Eveline Krummen & J. G. Howie

In this pioneering study, first published in German asPyrsos Hymnon. Festliche Gegenwart und mythisch-rituelle Tradition als Voraussetzung einer Pindarinter-pretation (Isthmie 4, Pythie 5, Olympie 1 und 3) (1990),Eveline Krummen examines the related problems of theunity (or intelligibility and cohesion) and the ‘occasionality’(the heuristic importance of the original performancesituation) of Pindaric epinicia. She uses various approaches

- including narratology, archaeology, and art history, as well as philology - to recoverinformation about original performance occasions and original audience expectations,and thus to come to a clearer understanding of the structure and strategies of this some-times baffing poetry. Throughout the book she focuses primarily on the interactionsbetween myths and cult festivals, and on Pindar’s skill in integrating and innovatingupon traditional material. An introductory chapter discusses ‘occasionality’ and surveysscholarly views of the unity of Pindaric victory odes in general. The four main chaptersdeal in turn with each of the Odes selected as ‘case-studies’. These all contain a passagereferring to a cult festival. Krummen delineates the historical settings of the cults andtheir related festivals, and each chapter ends with a consideration of how the cult passagefits into the poem as a whole.

EXEMPLUM AND MYTH, CRITICISM ANDCREATIONpapers on early greek literatureBy J. G. Howie

J. Gordon Howie's seminal papers on Homer, Hesiod,Sappho, Pindar, Euripides, Thucydides, and Xenophondocument the vitality and influence of cultural and intellectual patterns first visible in early Greek epic andlyric, and reveal the impact of those patterns on Atticdrama and on the Greek historians. A focal figure in thisprocess, and throughout Howie's papers, is Pindar, whotransmitted his poetic past while transforming it in waysthat made it acceptable to fifth-century Athenian

culture. These papers, composed over a period of nearly thirty years, from the mid-1970s on, are collected in this volume, together with one new chapter and a new appendixto chapter 9, a consolidated bibliography, and indexes. The volume will be of interest toclassical scholars and teachers, and to students of the Classics. Collected Classical Papers 3

TRA LOGICA E GIURISPRUDENZAargumentum a simili nel topici di ciceroneBy Agnieszka Kacprzak

Cicero's Topica is a kind of compendium of argumentsthat functioned in ancient philosophy and rhetoric andwere destined for jurists. The present book analyzes oneof the patterns of argumentation described by Cicero,an argument drawn from the similarity of cases (argumentum a simili). Although this pattern was so important for the Roman legal discourse, it has hardlybeen discussed in modern scholarly literature so far, asit extends beyond formal logic. The study by AgnieszkaKacprzak is clearly interdisciplinary, drawing from the

Roman law, theory of rethoric, philosophy, and history of logic. Therefore, its shouldbe of interest not only for specialists in the Roman law but also for those who study antiquity in its various aspects. JJP Supplements 17

READING GAMES IN THE GREEK NOVELBy Eleni Papargyriou

How is play constituent in the formation of the Greek modernist novel? Reflecting competition with Europeanand North American models as well as internal antagonismwith more established literary genres in Greece, the novelafter the 1930s employed playfulness as a means to demonstrate or even perform its novelty. Innovations unexpectedly came from the Greek periphery rather than Athens, and the Greek novel swiftly exchanged a passively understood realism for communicative patternsthat actively involve the reader and educate him into bringing

scraps of plot into a meaningful synthesis. Featuring key Greek authors such as YannisSkarimbas, Stratis Tsirkas and Nikos Kachtitsis, this is a comprehensive and innovativestudy of Greek modernist prose fiction and the first of its kind to appear in English. EleniPapargyriou is Lecturer in Modern Greek Literature at Kings College London. Legenda Main Series

THE FOUR BOOKS OF PSEUDO-DEMOCRITUSsources of alchemy and chemistry: sirrobert mond studies in the history of earlychemistryBy Matteo Martelli, Lawrence M. Principe & Jennifer M. Rampling

The Four Books of pseudo-Democritus, written in thefirst century AD, rank among the very earliest knownalchemical writings. In this volume, Matteo Martellipresents not only a fresh edition and translation of thesurviving Greek fragments, but also, for the first time,additional materials preserved in Syriac. The volumealso presents important examples of the medieval and

early modern reception of these writings, including the dialogue of Synesius andDioscorus – the most influential Byzantine commentary on the Four Books – and pre-viously unpublished Latin translations of both the Four Books and Synesius’ commen-tary made by Matthaeus Zuber in 1606. Accompanied by a full introduction andcommentary, these sources offer new and significant insights into the world of ancientchemistry: practical recipes and lists of ingredients, clues to the doctrinal content of an-cient alchemy, and early hints of a tradition that linked the alchemist ‘Democritus’ tothe wisdom of Egypt and Persia.

THE HOMERIC GODSthe spiritual significance of greek religionBy Walter Friedrich Otto

In many respects, this book is considered to be the bestguide ever written on Homeric religion. The analysis by W. F. Otto, while being very careful in terms of interpretation, denotes an open consonance of the author with the spirit - sometimes brutal and, for ourmentality, immoral - of Greek polytheism. A thrillingand amazing journey to the Olympus. 1

THE ORIENTAL CULTS IN ROMAN BRITAINBy Eve Harris & John Richard Harris

What are the reasons behind the contamination of oriental cults in Roman Britain? What circumstancesled to this spiritual upheaval, the results of which contributed to the triumph of Christianity? This problem,which is fundamental to the history of religions and forthe identification of the origins of Western civilization,is at the center of this classic study by E. Harris and J.R.Harris. It is a work of immense value for its methodologicalrigour and the subtlety with which it is able to reconstructthe articulations and the organic unity of a singularlycomplex and elusive phenomenon. This is a new editionof the Leiden Brill 1965 publication. 1
