Book Description
"Spécialiste incontesté de l'épigraphie grecque antique, maître de la géographie historique, Louis Robert (1904-1985) attacha beaucoup d'importance à la numismatique dont, dit-il " il est rare qu'on puisse la négliger sans dommage ". De fait, il n'a pas manqué de montrer, tout au long de ses publications, le fructueux profit que l'on pouvait tirer des monnaies, à commencer par l'examen des exemplaires qu'il avait jugé intéressant d'acquérir lui-même. Le catalogue de ces récoltes ciblées fait connaître 1 048 monnaies d'argent et de bronze, grecques et romaines, originaires pour l'essentiel de l'Asie Mineure et surtout de la Carie. Nombre de ces " horreurs " sont parvenues jusqu'à nous dans un mauvais état de conservation, mais leur propriétaire prit soin de noter précisément le lieu de leur acquisition, voire de leur découverte. Il y a là une source d'information essentielle, et d'ailleurs presque toujours manquante, pour qui veut travailler sur la circulation monétaire dans l'Antiquité gréco-romaine."--Page 4 of cover.

Religion in Roman Phrygia
Author: Robert Parker
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520395484
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
"Phrygia in the second and third centuries CE offers more vivid evidence for what has been termed 'lived ancient religion' than any other region of the ancient world. The evidence from Phrygia is neither literary nor, in the main, issued by cities or their powerful inhabitants. It comes from farmers and herders: they have left behind numerous stone memorials of themselves and dedications to their gods, praying for the welfare of their families, their crops, and their cattle. A rare window is opened into the world of what Sir Ronald Syme called 'the voiceless earth-coloured rustics' who are 'conveniently forgotten'. The period in which Phrygian paganism flourished so visibly to our eyes was also the period in which Christianity, introduced by the apostle Paul, took root, as early and as successfully as in any part of the Roman world. In Religion in Roman Phrygia: From Polytheism to Christianity, Robert Parker presents this rich body of evidence and uses it to explore one of history's great stories and enigmas: how and why the new religion overtook its predecessor, the Christian God now meeting the needs of Phrygians hitherto satisfied by Zeus and the other gods"--

A Lexicon of Greek Personal Names
Author: Peter Marshall Fraser
Publisher:
ISBN: 0198705824
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : el
Pages : 530
Book Description
This is the seventh volume of the Lexicon of Greek Personal Names to be published, a work which offers comprehensive documentation of named individuals in the Greek-speaking world in the period from c. 700 BC to 600 AD, drawn from all sources (predominantly written in Greek and to a lesser extent in Latin). It is the second of three volumes that comprise the personal names attested in Asia Minor. This particular volume is concerned with its southern coast, incorporating the ancient regions of Caria, Lycia, Pamphylia, and Cilicia, and thus completes coverage of the coastal regions. The volume documents more than 44,500 individuals who between them bore in excess of 8,400 different names. In contrast to those parts of Asia Minor facing the Aegean, Propontis, and Black Sea, there was little Greek settlement along the southern coast. So, in this volume particular interest attaches to the very large number of non-Greek names originating in the languages of the indigenous peoples of these regions - Carian, Lycian, Sidetic, and Pisidian - all of them descended from the Hittite-Luwian languages spoken in Anatolia in the second and early first millennia BC. The volume provides the raw material that allows us to see how indigenous names gave way first to Greek and later to Latin names, and how the pace of these changes varies from one region to another as one aspect of those processes of acculturation labelled as 'hellenization' and 'Romanization'. It contains a detailed introduction which addresses the definition of each of the regions and their cultural identity in terms both of geography and language and onomastics. It also guides the user through some of the problems of topography, dialect, and the treatment of non-Greek names, as well as providing some detailed statistics that point to interesting regional patterns.

Politics of Pasts and Futures in (Post-)Imperial Contexts
Author: Sebastian Fahner
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3111229599
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Although empires have played a decisive role in political thinking and the orientation of political goals at all times, the focus of research has so far mostly been on spatial and ideological aspects. This volume, on the other hand, offers a multi-disciplinary collection of studies that deal with the instrumentalization and ongoing impacts of perspectives on empire and their place in time. Coming from archaeology, history, art history, literary studies, and social sciences, the individual case studies discuss perceptions of imperial histories and imagined futures of empires, both in imperial and in post-imperial contexts. The transcending historical significance of the imperial ideas and ideals shows the deep and long-lasting effects of empire in landscapes, mindscapes, and social structures. The diachronic cut through all epochs from antiquity to modern times is complemented by a broad global view to deepen the temporal understanding of imperial imaginaries as well as their political implications.

Selections from the Decorative Arts in the J. Paul Getty Museum
Author: Gillian Wilson
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 089236050X
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
J. Paul Getty began to collect French decorative arts in the 1930s and continued to do so until his death in 1976. The Museum’s collection has continued to grow since then at a rapid pace and contains over three hundred individual pieces at the time this book is published. This volume illustrates fifty of them. The selection represents a cross section of the collection, which covers the period from approximately 1660 to 1800. In the eighteenth century it became fashionable in Parisian society to decorate the interiors of houses with Far Eastern materials such as lacquer and porcelain. This taste was catered to by the marchands-merciers, members of a guild who combined the functions of the modern interior decorator, the antique dealer, and the picture dealer. These men devised highly ingenious settings for Far Eastern porcelains to adapt their exotic character to the French interiors of the period. Information about them and their clientele has been used in cataloguing the Getty Museum’s collection of mounted oriental porcelain, which is large and of high quality. This book is not a catalogue, nor is it a mere picture book or checklist. Each piece has been chosen because it represents a particular aspect of the crafts involved in the production of objects that were made by Parisian craftsmen for the crown, the nobility, and the rich bourgeoisie. The pieces are arranged in chronological order. Translations of the French archival extracts, an index, and a concise bibliography have been provided.
