The Stockbridge-Munsee Community Tribal Historic Preservation Office operates from its offices here in Troy, NY. We conduct Section 106 and NEPA reviews on Federal undertakings along with all state and local consultation projects. As a sovereign nation, our efforts in Historic Preservation maintain government-to-government relationships and ensure Tribal interests in the Tribe’s ancestral homelands throughout the Hudson River Valley are represented. We wish to address the Tribe’s concerns with the proposed rezoning of the Riverfront Parcel in north Lansingburgh, what is 1011 2nd St Troy, NY. The Lansingburgh Riverfront Parcel has high archaeological sensitivity and cultural significance for the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. Within the boundaries of the Parcel exists a number of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligible archaeological sites. The recorded Chert Quarries Precontact Site represents immense cultural and educational significance. For thousands of years this site was used for the extraction of resources for Mohican people. Materials from the Chert Quarries Precontact Site have been identified miles away and represent a crucial component of past social trade networks that linked this region to distant Native American communities. The site’s location on the River situates it across from the Mohican village sites called “Unawats Castle” in North Troy and “Moenemin’s Castle” at Peebles Island in Waterford. These sites have been at the center of archaeological research studies on the lifeways of past peoples in the area and a focus for our work in site protection as they represent immense cultural significance. The Tribe’s ancestral homelands continue to be crucial to the living cultural heritage of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community today. Due to the immense cultural sensitivity for the Tribe and known archaeological sites within the Riverfront Parcel, we are concerned with the current rezoning proposal. We want to bring awareness to the Troy City Planning Commission on the cultural (413) 884-6029 Email: [email protected] Stockbridge-Munsee Tribal Historic Preservation Main Office Extension Office W13447 Camp 14 Rd 65 First Street Bowler, WI 54416 Troy, NY 12180 significance of this Parcel. We ask that the board consider its decision to recommend the proposed rezoning of this parcel for future development. The Stockbridge-Munsee Community Tribal Historic Preservation Office proposes to work with the City toward NRHP nomination and ultimately protection in perpetuity of these culturally significant archaeological sites and green spaces for its entire community. Should you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected]. Sincerely, Nathan Allison Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (413) 884-6029 Email: [email protected] December 29, 2020 By email: [email protected] Ms. Deirdre Rudolph, P.E., Chair and Members of the City Planning Commission City of Troy c/o Planning Commission 433 River Street Troy, NY 12180 Re: Public Hearing on Planning Commission Recommendation to the City Council for Zone Change (1011 Second Avenue) Kevin Vandenburgh is proposing a zone change from R-1 (Single-Family Residential Detached, §285-52) to PDD (Planned Development District, §285-57) Dear Ms. Rudolph and Members of the Planning Commission: Riverkeeper and Scenic Hudson are writing to urge the Planning Commission to recommend against the above-referenced rezoning request. If granted by the City Council, the rezoning from R-1 to PDD would not be in accordance with the recently adopted Realize Troy Comprehensive Plan (2018), as required by N.Y. General City Law Section 28-a(12). Realize Troy—based on robust public input Urban Strategies, Inc., the planning firm hired by the City to draft Realize Troy, describes the Comprehensive Plan as a three-part community planning initiative developed with a “strong focus on public consultation, both in-person and using a variety of social media channels, and aimed to establish a clear vision and set of action strategies to address both the current and future needs of the City.” Urban Strategies’ website states that the Comprehensive Plan established “a clear community-based vision and action plan to guide the city’s overall development over the next 20 years” and Realize Troy identified “short and longer-term community needs, reinforced and confirmed a set of broadly supported community goals and created a blueprint for future government actions.”1 We bring this to your attention as a reminder that the Realize Troy was created in the context of a robust public engagement process that resulted in an explicit statement of the City’s vision for itself, including the land use future for the subject parcel and surrounding neighborhoods. Realize Troy 1 https://www.urbanstrategies.com/project/realize- troy/#:~:text=Realize%20Troy%20is%20a%20three,a%20city%2Dwide%20comprehensive%20plan.&text=It%20will %20establish%20a%20clear,over%20the%20next%2020%20years. envisions the parcel as remaining in Low Rise Residential use and, in fact, identifies another nearby site as appropriate for the scope and scale of development that would be made possible by this rezoning. As a result, if granted, the requested rezoning would permit three, four-story buildings with between 230 and 250 multi-family units. This scale of development would directly conflict with Realize Troy’s recommendations and the community’s vision for low rise development at the site. Rezonings must be in accordance with Comprehensive Plans N.Y. General City Law requires that “All city land use regulations must be in accordance with a comprehensive plan adopted pursuant to this section.”2 Further, according to the New York State Department of State (NYSDOS) "New York’s zoning enabling statutes (the state statutes which give cities, towns and villages the power to enact local zoning laws) require that zoning laws be adopted in accordance with a comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan should provide the backbone for the local zoning law."3 Realize Troy’s vision for the subject parcel The Comprehensive Plan’s Map 14 identifies the subject tax parcel as “Low Rise Residential” (see Appendix A attached to this letter). The parcel is currently zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential— Detached), which permits up to 3.6 dwelling units per acre. Currently, the R-1 zoning would permit up to 36 single family homes on the site. The concept plan submitted in association with this rezoning request proposes approximately 240 multi-family units in three, four-story buildings, a density of 666% above permitted levels and with four-story building heights inconsistent with Low Rise Residential uses.

  • Theopompus's Philippica

    Theopompus's Philippica

    chapter five Theopompus’s Philippica heopompus of Chios (FGrHist 115) was widely renowned in antiq- T uity for the severity with which he condemned the moral faults of the characters peopling his Philippica. Few indeed escaped the scathing vigor of his pen. Despite his family’s exile from Chios, Theopompus seems to have had the necessary funds to carry out thorough research (TT 20 and 28,FF25, 26 and 181) and did not have to work for a living, but was able to devote himself wholly to his writing.1 Because he was in no need of either patronage or an income, he had the freedom to write whatever he pleased without risk of losing his livelihood by causing offense. It is per- haps for this reason that he was known in antiquity as “a lover of the truth” (φιλαληθης )(T28). We must now determine whether or not this epithet was justified in Theopompus’s use of the past in the Philippica. In addition to his numerous epideictic speeches, Theopompus wrote three known historical works: an epitome of Herodotus, a Hellenica, and a Philippica.2 It is likely the epitome of Herodotus was Theopompus’s earliest 1. A recent discussion of the (very vague and contradictory) evidence for Theopompus’s life can be found in Michael Attyah Flower, Theopompus of Chios: History and Rhetoric in the Fourth Century BC (Oxford: Clarendon, 1994), 11–25. 2.

    The Oracle and Cult of Ares in Asia Minor Matthew Gonzales

    The Oracle and Cult of Ares in Asia Minor Matthew Gonzales ERODOTUS never fails to fascinate with his rich and detailed descriptions of the varied peoples and nations H mustered against Greece by Xerxes;1 but one of his most tantalizing details, a brief notice of the existence of an oracle of Ares somewhere in Asia Minor, has received little comment. This is somewhat understandable, as the name of the proprietary people or nation has disappeared in a textual lacuna, and while restoring the name of the lost tribe has ab- sorbed the energies of some commentators, no moderns have commented upon the remarkable and unexpected oracle of Ares itself. As we shall see, more recent epigraphic finds can now be adduced to show that this oracle, far from being the fantastic product of logioi andres, was merely one manifestation of Ares’ unusual cultic prominence in south/southwestern Asia Minor from “Homeric” times to Late Antiquity.

DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Linda Jane Piper, A.B., M.A. The Ohio State University 1966 Approved by Adviser Department of History PREFACE The history of Sparta from the death of Alexander in 323 B.C; to the destruction of Corinth in 1^6 B.C. is the history of social revolution and Sparta's second rise to military promi­ nence in the Peloponnesus; the history of kings and tyrants; the history of Sparta's struggle to remain autonomous in a period of amalgamation. It is also a period in Sparta's history too often neglected by historians both past and present. There is no monograph directly concerned with Hellenistic Sparta. For the most part, this period is briefly and only inci­ dentally covered in works dealing either with the whole history of ancient Sparta, or simply as a part of Hellenic or Hellenistic 1 2 history in toto. Both Pierre Roussel and Eug&ne Cavaignac, in their respective surveys of Spartan history, have written clear and concise chapters on the Hellenistic period. Because of the scope of their subject, however, they were forced to limit them­ selves to only the most important events and people of this time, and great gaps are left in between.

    Thucydides 1.19.1 and the Peloponnesian League Sarah Bolmarcich HE OBLIGATIONS of the members of the Peloponnesian League to their leader Sparta have always been a mat- T ter of debate among scholars.1 Frequently the debate has taken the form “What was the constitution of the Pelopon- nesian League?” Some believe it had a formal constitution, involving fixed treaty obligations, regular League assemblies, and solemn oaths to follow the Spartans wherever they might lead and to share their friends and enemies, while others see a much more informal League, organized around Sparta in a series of loose defensive alliances.2 In some sense, this is not the 1 See G.

The article tries to partially fill this gap, through analysis of the scant sources. The author argues that Sparta did not withdraw completely from maintaining its own presence in the Aegean Sea after conclusion of the King’s Peace. From the few testimonies, especially of Xenophon and Polyaenus, we can conclude that Sparta even kept a fleet (albeit small) in this period. This means that some kind of influence on insular poleis could have been exerted. Possible examples of Spartan actions, like on Thasos, are also disputed. However, all bridgeheads in the Aegean that Sparta probably had were lost in the first phase of the Boeotian War. This puts into question the quality of Lacedaemonian leader­ ship, in terms of both political and military command. The article was prepared as a part of grant: The Aegean Islands 8th-4th c.

  • Concerning Philip II of Macedon's Alleged

    Of Philosophers and Kings: Concerning Philip II of Macedon’s Alleged “Debt” to Plato By K.R. Moore Bio: K.R. Moore is senior lecturer in the History of Ideas at Teesside University in Middlesbrough, UK. Dr. Moore completed his PhD at the University of St. Andrews, writing up his thesis on Plato’s Laws. He is the author of a number of books and articles mainly on Plato but, more recently, essaying into the scholarly realms of Alexander, much to his delight. He teaches classes on Greek and Roman History including one titled Images of Alexander the Great, which specifically addresses the latter’s reception and historiographical traditions. Abstract: A fragment of Carystius' Historical Notes, preserved by Athenaeus in Book XI of the Deipnosophistae, reports that Phillip II owed his kingship to Plato because the latter had sent an emissary to Perdiccas III of Macedon, Phillip’s brother and the king at that time, one Euphraeus of Oreus, who persuaded him to put Philip in charge of a territory of Macedon. This placed him in a prime position to ascend to the throne when Perdiccas was killed by the Illyrians in 359 BC and, by extension, made it possible for Alexander III of Macedon to become king. This article will consider the validity of that assertion through a close examination of this source, along with Demosthenes’ Third Philippic, 59–62, Diogenes Laertius’ Plato III.40, Favorinus, Memorabilia III (quoting Theopompus) and others that lend some credibility to the assertion. Could this extraordinary claim actually be true? Or were the likes of Athenaeus and others promoting their own pro-Platonic agenda, trying to garner some credit for Alexander’s legacy? Or could both be the case? This article is at once a study in Hellenistic receptions of Alexander and a kind of “thought experiment” in terms of historical causation.
