    CY TWOMBLY PHOTOGRAPHS 30 MARCH - 7 MAY 2018 The Sursock Museum is proud to present, for the first time in Lebanon, an exhibition of photographs by Cy Twombly. The exhibition comprises of thirty photographs of subjects including intimate spaces, landscapes, and natural subjects, taken between 1985 and 2008. From his days as a student at Black Mountain College during the early 1950s until his death in 2011 at the age of 83, Twombly captured his daily life in photographs. He recorded the verdant landscapes of Virginia and the coasts of Italy; close-up details of ancient buildings and sculptures; studio interiors; and still lifes of objects and flowers. Beginning in the early 1990s, Twombly used specialized copiers to enlarge his Polaroid images on matte paper, resulting in subtle distortions that approximate the timeless qualities of his paintings and sculptures with their historical and literary allusions.

  • A Reconsideration of Some Fourth-Century British Mosaics
    Originalveroffentlichung in: Britannia 11, 1980, S. 289-301 A Reconsideration of some Fourth-Century British Mosaics By REINHARD STUPPERICH oman Britain in late antiquity is an area of special interest to the archaeologist, because life was flourishing peacefully there at a time when we hear about disorder and destruc­ R tion afflicting the nearby provinces on the continent. Nevertheless - and this perhaps increases the interest - we know very little about cultural life, about the state of education and knowledge in the British provinces at this time. The Channel, which protected Britain from the majority of the invaders, might seem to have had its effect also on the cultural influx from Gaul. The literary sources, which very seldom mention Britain after the Severi, provide scarcely any useful information. There is virtually no one prominent in literary or even political life known to have come from Britain. Nor do we know anything about the cultural effect of the court of the British usurpers or of the presence of Constantius Chlorus and his son Constantine.1 A. A. Barrett has recently considered this problem and has rehearsed all the quotations and reminiscences which give evidence of the influence of classical literature in Britain.2 This is very helpful, but is too restrictive for the general question of the degree of education to be found in fourth-century Britain. One has to look for more than purely literary reflections, for other traces indicating knowledge ultimately derived from traditional education or the reading of classical authors. A wider formulation of the question will necessarily lead to a less precise yet nonetheless interesting answer.

Johnson, Supervisor ___________________________ Janet Downie ___________________________ Joshua D. Sosin ___________________________ Jed W. Atkins An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classical Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2019 Copyright by David William Frierson Stifler 2019 Abstract This dissertation investigates ancient language ideologies constructed by Greek and Latin writers of the second and third centuries CE, a loosely-connected movement now generally referred to the Second Sophistic. It focuses on Lucian of Samosata, a Syrian “barbarian” writer of satire and parody in Greek, and especially on his works that engage with language-oriented topics of contemporary relevance to his era. The term “language ideologies”, as it is used in studies of sociolinguistics, refers to beliefs and practices about language as they function within the social context of a particular culture or set of cultures; prescriptive grammar, for example, is a broad and rather common example. The surge in Greek (and some Latin) literary output in the Second Sophistic led many writers, with Lucian an especially noteworthy example, to express a variety of ideologies regarding the form and use of language.

  • Popular Cult – North Syria
    CHAPTER 4 POPULAR CULT – NORTH SYRIA In this chapter the emphasis moves away from the state-controlled production of official images – so important to the understanding of the ideology of the court – and into a world of regional polities. While the coin evidence may show the religious penchant of a ruler, the everyday beliefs of the population are better expressed through the building of temples and shrines, whether they be erected through public or private expense. The terminology used in the title of the chapter, „popular cult‟, is intended to take in all manner of religious activity for which we have evidence, where the activity lay more with the population at large than simply the whim of the king. The nature of archaeological survival has necessitated that this chapter be dominated by sanctuaries and temples, although there are exceptions. Excavations at the great metropolis of Antioch for example have not revealed the remains of any Seleukid period temples but Antioch may still prove informative. Whilst some, or perhaps all, of the Hellenistic temple constructions discussed below may have been initiated by the king and his council, the historic and epigraphic record is unfortunately too sporadic to say for certain. While the evidence discussed in Chapter 2.3 above suggests that all must have been ratified by the satrapal high-priest, the onus of worship appears to have been locally driven. The geographic division „north Syria‟ is used here to encompass the Levantine territory which was occupied by Seleukos I Nikator following the victory at Ipsos in 301 BC, that is to say, the part of Syria which came first under the control of the Seleukids.

  • Christ-Bearers and Fellow- Initiates: Local Cultural Life and Christian Identity in Ignatius’ Letters1
    HARLAND/CHRIST-BEARERS 481 Christ-Bearers and Fellow- Initiates: Local Cultural Life and Christian Identity in Ignatius’ Letters1 PHILIP A. HARLAND In writing to Christian congregations in the cities of Roman Asia, Ignatius draws on imagery from Greco-Roman cultural life to speak about the identity of the Christians. Scholars have given some attention to the cultural images which Ignatius evokes, but often in a cursory way and rarely, if ever, with reference to local religious life. Concentrating on Ignatius’ characterization of Christian groups as “Christ-bearers” and “fellow-initiates” (Eph. 9.2; 12.2), the paper explores neglected archeological and epigraphical evidence from Asia Minor (and Syria) regarding processions, mysteries, and associations. This sheds important light on what Ignatius may have had in mind and, perhaps more importantly, what the listeners or readers of Ignatius’ letters in these cities would think of when he spoke of their identity in this way. 1. INTRODUCTION Ignatius of Antioch uses several analogies and metaphors in his letters to speak about the identity of Christian assemblies in Roman Asia. The Christians at Ephesos, for instance, are likened to a choral group in a temple, “attuned to the bishop as strings to a lyre” (Eph. 4; cf. Phld. 1.2). They are “fellow-initiates” (symmystai) of Paul that share in the “myster- ies” (Eph. 12.2; 19.1; cf. Magn. 9.1; Trall. 2.3). Together they take part in 1. An earlier version of this paper was read at the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies in Toronto, May 2002. I am grateful to the participants for their feedback.

The Ohio State University 1960 Approved by AdvYser Department of Classical Languages Quanti sunt qul norint visu vel auditu A targatin Syrorum? (Tert. Ad Nationes, II, 8) ii PREFACE Our only extensive literary source for the cult of Dea Syria, pertaining either to Syria or to the Greek world, is Lucian's treatise. Ilept Tfjs ZupCr]s Geou .1 This is a precious document, not only because it is the only work devoted entirely to the Syrian Goddess, but also be­ cause when it can be tested by archaeology and philology it is found to be a reliable eyewitness account of the re­ ligion of Hierapolis in the second century of our era. Lucian's authorship of this work has been seriously doubted and because of its peculiarities (to mention only the I- onic dialect) the question is not likely to be settled. Perhaps in their eagerness to have a source of unassailable quality, religionists tend to support Lucian's authorship; students of Lucian, on the other hand, are divided. The Question, however, has never been investigated satisfacto­ rily, so that further pronouncements at this point would be of little permanent value.
