  • While Most Bronzes Were Found Individually, Some Specific Finds Seem to Have Narrow Dates Around the Time of Cleopatra and Augustus
    51 / 140 THE COINAGE SYSTEM OF CLEOPATRA VII, MARC ANTONY AND AUGUSTUS IN CYPRUS While most bronzes were found individually, some specific finds seem to have narrow dates around the time of Cleopatra and Augustus. Deposits below later mosaics provide a glimpse of the coinage in circulation during the late Ptolemaic and Augustan times.33 34 Two of the several wells containing coins provide a similar snapshot in time, although with more of the smaller denominations. The largest finds of eighth and quarter-units are in rooms containing sixty-two and ten examples respectively. Each of these finds is listed in the endnotes.35 A chart of the Ptolemaic coins found on page 124 of “Paphos II” modified by the assertions in this book is below.

  • The Eighth-Unit the Smallest Common Denomination of Cleopatra VII's
    41 / 140 THE COINAGE SYSTEM OF CLEOPATRA VII, MARC ANTONY AND AUGUSTUS IN CYPRUS The Eighth-Unit The smallest common denomination of Cleopatra VII’s rule in Cyprus was the bronze eighth-unit. Under previous reigns, this denomination paired the head of Zeus-Ammon with one eagle on the reverse. The Greek reverse legend reads, “Ptolemy, King.” A symbol before the eagle indicates the time period, but perhaps not the reign. Several symbols mirror those on half-unit coins. Weight of this denomination averages about 2 grams. Some of this type may have been struck during the first years of the reign of Cleopatra. In about 38 BC, new types of this denomination were issued. Types are similar to that of the full-unit. The obverse features the diademed and draped bust of Cleopatra VII as Aphrodite right. Die axis is generally 12:00. The reverse shows a double, or rarely (if ever) a single, cornucopia, bound at the base with a fillet. The Greek legend reads, “Ptolemy, King.” (S7850; Svor. 1160 (double cornucopia); Svor. 1161 (one cornucopia); SNG Cop. 648 (flan with squared edges); SNG Cop. 649 (flan with beveled edges) BMC 3. All these references list the coin as issued by Ptolemy IV, with the portrait of Arsinöe III, his sister and wife, whose portrait appears on some rare gold octadrachms. This small denomination is the most common of the eight denominations struck under Cleopatra VII in Cyprus. Paphos II notes that 13% of all the Ptolemaic Cyprus coins found are this type, making it the most plentiful ancient coin in the region of the capital.

The exhibit materials have arrived and are installed...with a few new pieces not seen in earlier versions...and its stating to get weird out there! The State Fair of Texas has started with all the usual nonsense and fanfare...silly displays...huckster vendors...horrible fried foods...a midway...and oddities too numerous to mention. It is, after all, the largest State Fair of them all! One of the major attractions is the butter sculpture. Why is there a butter sculpture? Who knows...but there is always one tucked into an out of the way corner of one of the exhibit halls. This year the sculpture is, well of course, King Tut himself. At this writing, no photos have been released, but it boggles the mind. Maybe the 'Tut curse' will manifest itself...remember a few years ago when the butter sculpture came apart and collapsed? Well so far the state fair has just placed a huge statue of Anubis alongside the usual grotesque figure of 'Big Tex'...surely the strangest of all mascots. This little article from the Texarkana Gazette (http://www.texarkanagazette.com/news/WireHeadlines/2008/09/23/big-tex-goes-up-state-fair-opens-in- dall-64.php) tells us that: Cyberscribe158 2 "In this photo released by the Dallas Museum of Art, the jackal-headed god Anubis, 25 feet and weighing 5 tons, is erected Monday on the midway at the State Fair of Texas next to Big Tex in Dallas.

  • The Visual Representation of Livia on the Coins of the Roman Empire
    University of Alberta The Visual Representation of Livia on the Coins of the Roman Empire by Tracene Harvey A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classical Archaeology History and Classics ©Tracene Harvey Spring 2011 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

Dedication To Sean, Clair and Wendy and In Memoriam Margaret Rose Neufeld, beloved grandmother and friend. ABSTRACT Livia (58 BC-AD 29), wife of the first emperor Augustus and mother of his successor Tiberius, became the first Roman woman whose image held a substantial place on coins of the Roman Empire. While predecessors such as Fulvia and Octavia, wives of Marc Antony, were the first Roman women to appear on coins, not enough examples of such coins survive to give a clear picture of how these women were represented as part of a concerted visual program. While the appearance of Roman women on coins was not entirely revolutionary, having roughly coincided with the introduction of images of powerful Roman statesmen to coins in the late 40s BC, the degree to which Livia came to be commemorated on coins in the provinces and in Rome was unprecedented.

  • Alexandria, City of Gifts and Sorrows -Polyzoides, A.J..Pdf
    poly - xx - 11 - index_bud2.qxd 09/06/2014 14:32 Page i Herewith an historical journey from the third century to the multi- ethnic metropolis of the twentieth century, bringing together two diverse histories of the city. Ancient Alexandria was built by the Greek Macedonians. Ptolemy started the dynasty and in thirty years completed the first lighthouse, and the grand library and museum, which functioned as a university with an emphasis on science, known as “The Alexandrian School”. Scholars attended as “the birthplace of science” from all over the ancient world. Two of the most eminent were Euclid, the father of geometry, and Claudios Ptolemy, writer of The Almagest, a book on astronomy. These are the oldest surviving science textbooks. Herein there are stories about scientists, poets and religious philosophers, responsible for influ- encing the western mind with their writings. Modern Alexandria was rebuilt in 1805 by multiethnic commu- nities who created a successful commercial city and port with an enviable life-style for its inhabitants for 150 years. In 1952 the Free Officers of the Egyptian Army masterminded a coup to free the country from the monarchy and British domination. In 1956 the socialist regime under Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser closed the Suez Canal, resulting in the Anglo-French-Israeli invasion. This outburst of Egyptian nationalism and military revolution by this understand- ably anti-Western regime included the confiscation of property belonging to foreigners and the subsequent mass exodus of business and artisan classes that hitherto had made the city so successful. The author was an eye-witness to these events and he sets out the polit- ical errors and failures of both Egyptian and Western leaders.
