How bioarchaeology can illuminate the lived experiences of people in the Roman Empire Research on the Roman Empire has long focused on Rome's legendary leaders, culture, and conquest. But at the empire's peak, tens of millions of ordinary people coexisted in its territories-people who built the structures, wrote the literature, and transformed the landscapes we study today. In Roman Bioarchaeology, researchers use human skeletal remains recovered from throughout the Roman world to portray how individuals lived and died, spanning the empire's vast geography and 1,000 years of ancient history. This volume brings together scholarship from archaeological sites in Europe, the Eastern Mediterranean, and Africa, featuring new and advanced scientific approaches including DNA studies, stable isotope analysis, paleoparasitology, paleopathology, biodistance, and more. Throughout, contributors prioritize the ethical treatment of the deceased by highlighting individual narratives and working with local descendants where possible. From rural homes in Britannia to bustling cities in Phoenicia, these essays showcase the diversity of Roman lives and illuminate the experiences of the most vulnerable in these societies. This book demonstrates how bioarchaeology can enrich our understanding of many facets of life in the Roman world.

The volume introduces a diverse range of themes and practices relating to sustainable heritage management. Each paper delves into the challenges, successes, and failures of preserving precious cultural heritage. It discusses various strategies, such as the early inclusion of archaeology in UNESCO frameworks to leveraging archaeological findings and indigenous knowledge for sustainable development goals. The chapters explore the evolution of autoarchaeology as a tool for empowering Indigenous communities to assert their human rights and integrating oral histories and local ecological knowledge to interpret ancient remains. Additionally, it highlights the value of archaeologists working more closely with Indigenous peoples, local communities, and other disciplines in identifying, preserving, conserving and managing heritage sites. It appeals to archaeologists, anthropologists, cultural geographers, cultural heritage professionals and others seeking new ways to protect cultural heritage.

This is the story of the great and final city of John's Revelation. Plumbing the first three centuries of Christian literature, this careful narrative highlights the early significance of one of the most influential, evocative, and controversial images in Christian scripture. Chronicling how dozens of early writers, from Justin and Irenaeus to Origen and Methodius, and from the "Montanists" to Tertullian, Victorinus, and Lactantius, imagined and applied the coming New Jerusalem, the study demonstrates how the city, regardless of its myriad and often competing interpretations, always pointed to the highest possible union of God and humanity both here and now and in the age to come.

A fundamental reappraisal of Plutarch's attitude towards rhetoric.Plutarch was not only a skilled writer, but also lived during the Second Sophistic, a period of cultural renaissance. This book offers new insights into Plutarch's seemingly moderate attitude towards rhetoric. The hypothesis explored in this study introduces, for the first time, the broader literary and cultural contexts that influenced and restricted the scope of Plutarch's message. When these contexts are considered, a new perspective emerges that differs from that found in earlier studies. It paints a picture of a philosopher who may not regard rhetoric as a lesser means of persuasion, but who faces challenges in openly articulating this stance in his public discourse.Ebook available in Open Access.

As allegiance to Jesus Christ spread across the Roman Empire in the second century, writings, practices, and ideas erupted in a creative maelstrom. Many of the patterns of practice and belief that later become normative emerged, in the midst of debate and argument with neighbours who shared or who rejected that allegiance. Authoritative texts, principles of argument, attitudes to received authority, the demands of allegiance in the face of opposition, identifying who belonged and who did not, all demanded attention. These essays explore those divergent voices, and the no-less diverse and lively debates they have inspired in recent scholarship.

Dans l'Antiquite tardive et aux premiers siecles de l'Islam, l'oasis de Najran (sud-ouest de Arabie sa?udite) a compte une population chretienne influente. Sur ces chretiens, longtemps connus par les seules traditions savantes chretienne et musulmane, l'archeologie et l'epigraphie apportent desormais des eclairages nouveaux. The Christians of Najran are known by their martyrdom (November 523), described in Christian sources. According to Muslim tradition, the community was in relation with the polity of Medina, founded by Mu?ammad in 622. Recent archeological discoveries attest this community in more details and bring substantial changes to our knowledge.

The second century is a crucial period for the formation of both Judaism and Christianity, but remains in important ways terra incognita. This volume brings together specialists in Jewish studies and Christian studies, two closely related disciplines that nonetheless continue to operate in relative isolation. Taking into consideration the full panoply of Jewish and Christian identities, the volume proposes fresh ways to map the interrelated histories of Jews and Christians. Contributions by leading scholars offer new insights into this period informed by a rich variety of perspectives, including theoretical, literary, thematic and material approaches.

A COMPANION TO CITIES IN THE GRECO-ROMAN WORLD A Companion to Cities in the Greco-Roman World offers in-depth coverage of the most important topics in the study of Greek and Roman urbanism. Bringing together contributions by an international panel of experts, this comprehensive resource addresses traditional topics in the study of ancient cities, including civic society, politics, and the ancient urban landscape, as well as less-frequently explored themes such as ecology, war, and representations of cities in literature, art, and political philosophy. Detailed chapters present critical discussions of research on Greco-Roman urban societies, city economies, key political events, significant cultural developments, and more. Throughout the Companion, the authors provide insights into major developments, debates, and approaches in the field. An unrivalled reference work on the subject, the volume focusses on both the archaeological (spatial, architectural) as well as the historical (institutions, social structures) aspects of ancient cities, and makes Greco-Roman urbanism accessible to scholars and students of urbanism in other historical periods, up to the present day. Part of the authoritative Blackwell Companions to the Ancient World series, A Companion to Cities in the Greco-Roman World is an excellent resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and lecturers in Classics, Ancient History, and Classical/Mediterranean Archaeology, as well as historians and archaeologists looking to update their knowledge of Greek or Roman urbanism.

In Collecting Practices and Opisthographic Collections in Qumran and Herculaneum, Ayhan Aksu offers a new perspective on practices of collection in both the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Herculaneum papyri. This study focuses on the intriguing question how ancient scribes and scholars used manuscripts to bring different texts in conversation with each other. Central to Aksu's approach are opisthographic manuscripts - scrolls that contain text on both the front and back side. Comparative research of the rich papyrus collection from Herculaneum reveals that scribes across various regions of the Mediterranean developed dynamic approaches to engage with their texts.

Die Markomannen nehmen unter den germanischen Staemmen, die an der Grenze des Roemischen Reiches siedelten, eine besondere Stellung ein. Ihre Existenz am nordoestlichen Rand des Imperiums wurde durch antike Schriftsteller genau beobachtet und dokumentiert. Daher sind die Markomannen als eigenstaendiges Ethnos vom 1. Jh. v. Chr. bis in das 5. Jh. n. Chr. kontinuierlich belegt. Zudem laesst sich ihr wechselhaftes Verhaeltnis zum Roemischen Reich gut nachzeichnen: Von Feinden, ueber Verbuendeten und Abhaengigen bis hin zu Handelspartnern Roms. Darueber hinaus laesst sich auch ihr Verhaeltnis zu ihren wichtigsten Nachbarn, den Quaden, Hermunduren und Semnonen stichpunktartig punktuell nachzeichnen. Klaus-Peter Johne stellt erstmals die Markomannen selbst in den Mittelpunkt einer einfuehrenden Betrachtung und behandelt sie nicht nur als einen Aspekt roemischer Aussenpolitik.

Exploring the relationship between health and inequality in the societies of ancient Greece In this volume, bioarchaeologists, osteologists, archaeologists, and paleopathologists examine the ways social inequalities and differences affected health and wellbeing in ancient Greece. Although the ancient Greek civilization is often associated with the ideals of democracy and social equality, the region was characterized by pervasive divisions. Moving beyond elitism and idealization, this book focuses on health-related disparities and difference. Case studies cover a wide temporal range-from the eleventh century BCE through the sixth century CE, a period not usually examined in bioarchaeological studies of the region-and geographical areas including city-states in the Greek mainland, the Aegean islands, the Ionian coast, Albania, and Southern Italy. Comparing health-related data across social groups and sociopolitical systems, contributors explore the relationships between colonists and Indigenous communities, strategies of inclusion and exclusion in mortuary practices, and the impact of urbanization and Romanization on health, diet, and growth. This book also discusses methodological questions such as the challenges posed by poor skeletal preservation, small sample sizes, and incomplete or legacy data. With a focus on marginalized groups including ordinary people, women, children, and enslaved workers, Social Inequality and Difference in the Ancient Greek World shows how bioarchaeology can dialogue with the disciplines of archaeology and ancient history to explore subjects such as health, inequality, ethnicity, age, and gender. This book opens a new avenue for addressing questions concerning living standards in the ancient world.

Lavan, Luke (eds.), Burial and Memorial in Late Antiquity. Volume 2: Regional Perspectives. (Late Antique Archaeology 13/2) 928 pp. 2024:10 (Brill, NE) <730-1089>
ISBN 978-90-04-68816-2 hard ¥37,312.- (税込) EUR 160.00

Burial and Memorial explores funerary and commemorative archaeology, A.D. 284-650, across the late antique world, from Catalonia to Cappadocia. The first volume includes an overview of research, and papers exploring bioarchaeology, mortuary rituals, mausolea, and funerary landscapes. It considers the sacralisation of tombs, movements of relics, and the political significance of cemeteries. The fate of statue monuments is explored, as memorials for individuals. Authors also compare the spoliation or preservation of tombs to other buildings, and, finally, how the city itself, with its monuments, served as a place of collective memory, where meanings were long maintained. The second volume includes papers exploring all aspects of funerary archaeology, from scientific samples in graves, to grave goods and tomb robbing and a bibliographic essay. It brings into focus neglected regions not usually considered by funerary archaeologists in NW Europe, such as the Levant, where burial archaeology is rich in grave good, to Sicily and Sardinia, where post-mortem offerings and burial manipulations are well-attested. We also hear from excavations in Britain, from Canterbury and London, and see astonishing fruits from the application of science to graves recently excavated in Trier.

Lopez, Francesco, The Historical Landscape of Ancient Kalabria: Balkan and Aegean Linguistic Influences. (Ancient Languages and Civilizations 10) 200 pp. 2024:11 (Brill, NE) <730-1092>
ISBN 978-90-04-54776-6 hard ¥17,256.- (税込) EUR 74.00

This book focuses on Kalabria as an ancient land of Italy from its origin to the early Middle Ages. The place name referred to the Salento peninsula, also called Messapia, as part of present-day Puglia and later to the land of the Bruttii, now the region of Calabria. This work is the first to carefully evaluate linguistic and historical studies in a comprehensive and monographic form. Following an interdisciplinary approach, the systematic combination of Linguistics and Landscape History guides the research step by step. The sample represents a new significant methodological instance that merges Toponymy, History, Archaeology, Topography, and Philology.

McPhee, Brian, Apollonius' Argonautica and the Homeric Hymns: A Study in Hymnody, Hero Cult, and Homeric Reception. (Mnemosyne, Supplements 489) 432 pp. 2024:12 (Brill, NE) <730-1093>
ISBN 978-90-04-71510-3 hard ¥34,980.- (税込) EUR 150.00

Apollonius represents a crucial link in the epic tradition spanning Homer and Vergil, but arrestingly, his epic Argonautica rather begins and ends in the style of a Homeric Hymn. This book contends that Apollonius thus frames his poem as an innovative synthesis of both branches of his Homeric inheritance: an "epic hymn" that simultaneously commemorates its protagonists' glorious deeds and venerates them in their religious capacity as divinized cult heroes. This study-the first-ever in-depth investigation of Apollonius' profound engagement with the hymnic Homer-promises to reorient scholarly understandings of the Argonautica's novel narrative strategies, its inclusive conception of heroism, and indeed, its very generic affiliations.

Der Althistoriker Christian Meier als Begleiter und Kommentator der Europaeischen Geschichte Christian Meier ist einer der bekanntesten Fachvertreter der Alten Geschichte mit populaer gewordenen Buechern ueber Caesar (1982) oder Athen (1993). Aber er ist auch einer der grossen deutschen Public Intellectuals. In den 1980er Jahren gehoerte er zu den Protagonisten des Historikerstreits und wandte sich dagegen, dass die millionenfachen Morde der Deutschen in eine Reihe mit denen der stalinistischen Sowjetunion gestellt werden. In der Zeit der Wiedervereinigung meldete er sich zu Wort, um auf die Hemmnisse und Fallstricke des Prozesses, der gerade im Gange war, aufmerksam zu machen. Bis heute schreibt er Essays in der ≫Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung≪ und anderen Zeitungen und Zeitschriften, wenn ihm eine Sache auf den Naegeln brennt. Die Darmstaedter Akademie fuer Sprache und Dichtung waehlte ihn fuer viele Jahre zu ihrem Praesidenten. In den Texten und Gespraechen mit Michael Knoche erweist sich der 1929 geborene Historiker als eminent politisch denkender Zeitgenosse, selbst wenn er ueber die Schlacht bei Salamis vor 2500 Jahren spricht.

Das antike Makedonien ist untrennbar mit den Namen Philipp II. und Alexander III. verbunden. Unter Philipp stieg das Reich zur Hegemonialmacht auf, unter Alexander erreichte es kurzzeitig die Ausmasse eines Weltreichs. Die beiden herausragenden Herrscher bewegten sich in Strukturen, die ihre Vorgaenger etabliert hatten. Seit dem spaeten 6. Jh. v. Chr. spielte das makedonische Reich auf dem politischen Terrain der mediterranen Welt eine Rolle, auch wenn sie oft limitiert war. Sabine Mueller zeichnet die Ereignisgeschichte Makedoniens von den Anfaengen der Argeaden bis zum Ende makedonischer Kontrolle durch das Uebergreifen Roms nach, wobei sie kulturelle, soziale und oekonomische Aspekte beruecksichtigt. Konkret liegt der Fokus der Autorin auf der Quellenproblematik, der Beziehung Makedoniens zu den Nachbarn, dem Koenigshof sowie den "royal women" und der Repraesentationspolitik.

ISBN 978-90-04-71552-3 hard ¥29,150.- (税込) EUR 125.00

This edited volume offers the first comprehensive study of prolepsis in narratives written in ancient Greek, ranging from Homer to the late antique author Colluthus, with the inclusion of Second Temple Jewish Literature. Structuralist narratology defines prolepsis as the narration in advance of an event that takes place later in the story. The papers collected in this volume start from this approach, but move beyond it by exploring a wide range of new definitions, forms and readerly effects of prolepsis. Several contributions draw on postclassical narratological approaches and focus on cognitive aspects of reading, narrative virtuality, and readerly (un)certainty that stems from prolepses.

Die vorliegende Monographie entwirft eine literaturgeschichtliche Gesamtdarstellung des roemischen Antiquarianismus vom 2. Jahrhundert v. Chr. bis zum 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. Ausgangspunkt ist die begrifflich-konzeptuelle Neuprofilierung des Phaenomens. Dieses wird als ein epistemologisches Modell gegenwartsbezogener Vergangenheitsanalyse aufgefasst, die mit den Denkfiguren der Etymologie, Aitiologie und Genealogie operiert, um die hinter der erfahrbaren Lebenswelt liegenden Kausalitaeten freizulegen. Anhand der ueberlieferten Fragmente und Testimonien wird die Entwicklung der heute verlorenen antiquarischen Fachliteratur Roms in ihren unterschiedlichen medialen Formaten, Darstellungsformen und Wirkungskontexten nachgezeichnet. This volume provides an account of Roman antiquarianism from the 2nd century BC to the 3rd century AD, reconstructing its textual manifestations and analysing the mechanisms of transmission. It is based on a new conceptualisation of antiquarianism as an epistemological mode of understanding the present by uncovering its origins in the past. Etymology, aitiology and genealogy were the tools used to explore the causalities that underpin the perceptible world. Antiquarianism, represented by a wide range of texts and genres throughout antiquity, is traced as an autonomous branch of literature. Fragments and testimonies are used to identify a lost corpus of treatises, lexica and handbooks that formed the scholarly basis of Augustan poets, historiographers and imperial litterateurs.??

What difference did the Roman expansion make in the transformation of ancient Italy? With its conservative nature and abundance of material evidence, the religious sphere represents a unique lens through which we can study this process over time and across different sites. Tapping into the transformation of Italy as a result of Rome's expansion, this book problematizes the issue of Romanization and sheds light on the different processes of adaptation that occurred during the Roman conquest.
