  • Herod I, Flavius Josephus, and Roman Bathing
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts HEROD I, FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS, AND ROMAN BATHING: HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN DIALOG A Thesis in History by Jeffrey T. Herrick 2009 Jeffrey T. Herrick Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts August 2009 The thesis of Jeffrey T. Herrick was reviewed and approved* by the following: Garrett G. Fagan Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies and History Thesis Advisor Paul B. Harvey Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, History, and Religious Studies, Head of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies Ann E. Killebrew Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, Jewish Studies, and Anthropology Carol Reardon Director of Graduate Studies in History; Professor of Military History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT In this thesis, I examine the historical and archaeological evidence for the baths built in late 1st century B.C.E by King Herod I of Judaea (commonly called ―the Great‖). In the modern period, many and diverse explanations of Herod‘s actions have been put forward, but previous approaches have often been hamstrung by inadequate and disproportionate use of either form of evidence. My analysis incorporates both forms while still keeping important criticisms of both in mind. Both forms of evidence, archaeological and historical, have biases, and it is important to consider their nuances and limitations as well as the information they offer. In the first chapter, I describe the most important previous approaches to the person of Herod and evaluate both the theoretical paradigms as well as the methodologies which governed them.

  • Should We Call It the “Silk Road”?
    Silk Road Inquiry Should We Call It the “Silk Road”? Public domain. NASA Visible Earth via Wikimedia Commons. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Silk_route.jpg Supporting Questions 1. What was the “Silk Road”? 2. Why was silk so important? 3. What, besides silk and other goods, was shared on the Silk Road? 4. What else could this trade network be called? 1 CITIES and TRADING on the Silk Roads Source B: American Museum of Natural History, exhibition description, “Traveling the Silk Road” Featured Source (excerpts), 2009 Xi’an A Cosmopolitan Capital The Silk Road begins in the massive Xi'an, capital of China's Tang Empire. It was the largest city in the world around 750 CE. This metropolis is home to nearly a million people, and another million live just outside the imposing walls. Imperial buildings, temples and markets line the streets, and the city buzzes with activity. Foreign merchants, ambassadors, scholars, and musicians flock to this urban center, stocking the markets with exotic goods and filling the streets with sights and sounds from distant lands. The Secret of Silk The secret of silk, carefully guarded for centuries, brought wealth and prestige to Chinese empires. Legend has it that almost 5,000 years ago, a Chinese empress named Xi Ling was drinking tea in her garden when a small cocoon dropped from the branches of a mulberry tree into her cup. As she fished it out, the cocoon unwound into a single shimmering silk strand. Mesmerized by the thread, the empress gathered more cocoons, plunged them in hot water, unraveled the strands and wove the world's first silk cloth.

  • The Silk Road and Trans-­Eurasian Exchange
    The Road That Never Was: The Silk Road and Trans- Eurasian Exchange Khodadad Rezakhani he Silk Road, or Silk Route, is a name used today to refer to a supposed trade route of ancient Eurasia, its use bringing different images to mind. These are often of camel caravans on dusty roads, forbidding deserts, and exotic towns and “oases.” The con- cept as a whole tends to ignore realities such as geography and ecology, as well as political units, facts that become lost among the more potent romantic notions. While itineraries are presented at some length, actual places are forgotten, and it is supposed that a conventional “beginning” in China and a vague “destination” somewhere along the Mediterranean are enough. On the way, places such as Transoxiana, the Pamirs, Iran, and indeed the whole of the Near East are simply brushed aside and not much discussed. The Silk Road has then be- come a grand narrative that serves mostly to obscure important details and sometimes even more. As one modern historian similarly opposed to the idea of the Silk Road has suggested, “‘The Silk road’ now has become both band wagon and gravy train, with an endless stream of books, journals, conferences and international exhibitions devoted to it, reaching virtual mania proportions that is almost unstoppable.” 1 This is why I am suggesting not only that the concept of a continuous, purpose- driven road or even “routes” is counterproductive in the study of world history but also that it has no basis in historical reality or records. Doing away with the whole concept of the “Silk Road” of might do us, at least as historians, a world of good and actually let us study what in reality Studies was going on in the region.

  • On the Silk Road. Trade in the Tarim?
    On the Silk Road. Trade in the Tarim? Susan Whitfield Background and Issues When the geographer Ferdinand von Richtofen (1833-1905) first coined the term ‘The Silk Road’ die( Seidenstrasse) in 1877 it was in relation to the early period of purported trade between Roman Europe and Han China and referred specifically to the route described by Marinus of Tyre.1 The interest in historical long-distance trade between Rome, India, and China continued with the studies of scholars such as Warmington (1928) and Raschke (1978), weighted towards the textual sources and concerned with both land and sea routes. Raschke, with an impressive array of footnotes and a dismissive attitude of the importance of artefacts (677), set about challenging several of the oft repeated ‘facts’ about Eurasian trade, among them that the technology of sericulture was guarded by China (622-3), that there was an imbalance of trade between Rome and China owing to the demand for silk (n.256) and, most significantly for this paper, the central idea of the Silk Road itself, significant and sustained long-distance trade in prestige goods.2 He 1. Chin 2013, who discusses the plan for a Europe-China railway link. Also see Waugh, 2007. As he points out, Richtofen was also interested in other routes, including by sea. 2. The term ‘Silk Road(s)’ was not immediately adopted, as both Waugh and Chin point out (op. cit.). A brief overview of its increasing usage, starting in Japan, China and Korea and then moving to European adoption, is given in Whitfield 2007. This piece also argues that it has some usefulness as a concept in the current nascent stage of scholarship.

  • The Role of Palmyrene Temples in Long- Distance Trade in the Roman Near East by John Berkeley Grout
    The Role of Palmyrene Temples in Long- Distance Trade in the Roman Near East by John Berkeley Grout A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, University of London Summer, 2016 Supervisor: Prof. Richard Alston, Department of Classics D M PAUL R. A. D’ALBRET BERKELEY AVUS CARISSIMUS DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, John Berkeley Grout, hereby affirm that this thesis and the work presented herein is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly indicated. Signed, John Berkeley Grout ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of the archaeology, epigraphy and historiography of Palmyrene temples and long- distance trade in early Roman Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and western Iraq. Forty-two temples are examined, both Palmyrene and comparanda, in both urban and rural settings. New models are proposed which characterise the roles which these temples are shown to have played in long-distance trade. These models include: ‘networking’ temples acting as foci for the network of trust upon which long-distance trade relied; ‘hosting’ temples acting as foci of trade itself, hosting fairs and exhibiting wealth from long-distance trade; and ‘supporting’ temples directly supporting trade via infrastructure such as waystations or caravanserais. New insight is thus provided into the role of temple institutions in the broader economy, in urban and rural life, and in the fabric of society as a whole. In the first part, fundamentals are established, terms defined and academic and historical background set, including the historiographical context of the thesis.

  • ACOR Newsletter Vol. 21.2
    ACOR Newsletter Vol. 21.2—Winter 2009 Reliving Jarash: Glimpses and Highlights of Working Life at the Ancient Site Ina Kehrberg The story that I want to tell began in the late summer of 1982 when architect and scholar Antoni A. Ostrasz, well known for his work at Fustat (Egypt), Old Dongola (the Sudan), and Palmyra (Syria) arrived in Jarash to join the Polish Archaeological Team of the “Jarash Archaeological Project” (JAP) initiated by the Ministry of Tourism, with the backing of the Department of Antiquities (DOA). This ambitious inter- national program was originally planned for five years and comprised seven international teams. Antoni’s scholarly contributions in the early years of excavations and architectural studies of Gerasa monuments are not well known outside the original international ‘Jarash crowd’ of the 1980s, so I recall them here and start from the beginning. The first site excavated by the Polish team, in 1982, was the Church of Bishop Marianos next to the Hippodrome. M. Gawlikowski, T. Scholl, Antoni, and their DOA collaborator, the late Ali Musa, also excavated the deacon’s residence located in three cavea chambers of the Hippodrome (see plan on next page). Antoni was in charge of the architectural aspects of the excavations and pieced together the stratigraphical building phases and salient features of this small but exceptional church. The attractive mosaic floors included a dedicatory inscription confirming the 6th century date of the Church of Bishop Marianos. The anastyloses that he undertook revealed fundamental elements and were published in Jerash Archaeological Project: 1981-1983 (JAP), Vol. I (1986) and duly implemented in his actual restorations.

Waugh University of Washington (Seattle) How the important pioneers in the modern study of the Silk Roads have been remembered has changed substantially with each generation and very much been influenced by politics, nationalist discourse, the vagaries of academic fashion, and appeals to popular taste.

Revisions of substance for the current publication include rewriting of the introductory paragraphs in order to add material on Richthofen’s career and some of the interpretations of Richthofen’s broader contributions to geography in the nuanced articles published in Die Erde 138/4 (2007), which I received when my article was already in print.
