However, the main aim 3.1. Dated Coins of this chapter is to identify the types and create a basic typology of the coins. We have intentionally Types deferred discussing the meanings of the types and symbols until later (chapter 6). This section presents the coin-types of theÒ G coins, The typology, delineated at the end of this followed by their symbols and an examination of chapter (Tables 7–8), is based upon on the coins’ their denominations. TheÒ G coins bear seven types iconographic elements combined with their diam- (helmet, tripod, shield, fruit, winged caduceus, eters and weights, which suggest their denomi- aphlaston and palm branch) and two symbols (the nations.

    The Pileus Cap Quick and Dirty Instructions for AEthelmearc 12th Night Saturnalia Meisterin Felicitas Fluβmüllnerin What is a pileus? The pileus (or pilos) was a Greek-style traveling hat given to Roman slaves upon receiving their freedom. It is associated with Castor and Pollux, representing the egg that they hatched from, just as the slave is becoming a new man in his freedom. During the Festival of Saturnalia, everyone was allowed to wear the pileus, including slaves, and there was a topsy-turvy role reversal for the duration of the festival. Odysseus wearing the pilos.

  • Crosby Garrett Helmet
    A Roman Cavalry Helmet and the Phrygian Cap The Crosby Garrett helmet is well preserved example of a two-piece Roman cavalry helmet in the style of a Phrygia Cap, discovered close to Carlisle in 2010 by metal detectorists. Grampus Heritage who lead the EVEHD project have been involved with local Cumbrian volunteers in surveying the site of the discovery to see if there are any associated Roman discoveries yet to be made. With sponsorship from the Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery and the Portable Antiquities Scheme, Grampus and a local team identified earthworks which seemed to be part of a substantial enclosure surrounded by ditches, within which buildings had once stood. The enclosure, which measures as much as 500 metres (1,600 ft) long on its southern side, combines both native British and Roman methods of fortification. A sunken area within the enclosure may possibly have served as a paddock for horses, while the evidence for the buildings is concentrated in the enclosure's northern portion. The remnants of Romano-British field systems in the surrounding area show that the area was under cultivation and animal remains found on the site indicate that the inhabitants also raised livestock, including sheep, goats and pigs. The presence of Roman pottery suggests that the inhabitants had adopted some elements of the Roman lifestyle, but their community may well have been there long before the Romans arrived. Archaeological evidence from the enclosure indicates that the site may have been first settled as far back as the Bronze Age, at least 1,000 years before the helmet was deposited.

  • The Metaphysics of Felt Bredekamp
    Prof. Dr. Horst Bredekamp THE MATERIAL METAPHYSICS OF FELT 1. The Hat (1)1 A man, with his upper body exposed, is gazing at the viewer with an intensity that is difficult to forget. The features of the man portrayed seem familiar, but it is difficult to put a name to his face, especially as his pointed ears also lend his visage something of the diabolical. (2) The reason for this mixture of familiarity and uncertainty is that this head lacks that prop with which it seems to have grown together. It was taken by the photographer Charles Wilp, a friend of Beuys, on a working vacation in Kenya in 1975. The characteristic hat, as part of the artist’s identity, represented a kind of trademark, without which his appearance seemed incomplete and defamiliarized. (3) In 1980, Andy Warhol produced a portrait of Beuys, in which by inverting the colors he emphasized the hat and, here especially, the hat band as the artist’s insignia. This is probably the most accurate portrait of Beuys ever made. (4 ) It is the hat as the hat is associated with the artist. He almost never took it off, not even in moments of extreme challenge. I experienced that myself as a young student on February 22, 1969, at the Akademie der Künste (Academy of the Arts) in Berlin, during an hours-long political brawl. During the debates, firehoses were activated, flooding the stage so that those present cowered or moved away. Beuys, by contrast, stood upright, like a column, his hat on his head.

THE HISTORY OF A ‘NATIONAL’ WEAPON AUREL RUSTOIU Valerius Maximus, writing about the Asian campaign of P. Licinius Crassus Dives Mucianus against Eumenes III Aristonicos, in the context of the battle of Leucae in 130 BC, mentions the capturing of the Roman consul by the Thracian mercenaries fighting for the Attalid pretender, between Elaea and Myrina. ‘In order to avoid a dishonoured imprisonment, Crassus rushed against his own death and stabbed a Barbarian’s eye with a rod used for horse driving. The enemy, crazed by pain, stabbed the Roman general with his sica and through such revenge, spared him from losing his honour’1. Nearly two centuries later, according to Fronto, the emperor Trajan used for his Parthian campaign ‘experienced soldiers who were not afraid by the enemy’s arrows after facing the horrific wounds made by the curved swords (falces) of the Dacians’2. The cited fragments are underlining two historical reference points for the evolution of a weapon, which will become in the ancient conscience, a symbol of the warlike character of the Thracian populations in northern Balkans and in the end, of the Dacians. The question is whether the mentioned terms are referring to the same weapon, or the ancient authors had known two different weapons coming from this region.

  • Ancient Coin Images on Modern Coins
    Ancient Coin Images on Modern Coins History of coin art can be traced consistently from ancient to modern times. Images of animals followed the first amorphous symbols. Then came the first depictions of gods and goddesses, and finally, rulers themselves appeared on their coins: after their death, at first, but very soon during their lifetime. The following coins, however, do not primarily bear the images of sovereigns. They first and foremost show images of women: of women from ancient times, followed by their counterparts from modernity. As the comparison shows, surprisingly little has changed in the meantime… 1 von 27 www.sunflower.ch Kingdom of Macedonia, Alexander III the Great (336-323 BC), Stater, 330-323 BC, Amphipolis Denomination: Stater Mint Authority: King Alexander III of Macedon Mint: Amphipolis Year of Issue: -330 Weight (g): 9 Diameter (mm): 19.0 Material: Gold Owner: Sunflower Foundation This stater was issued by Alexander the Great.

ANCIENT ROMAN MUNIFICENCE: THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRACTICE AND LAW OF CHARITY William H. Byrnes, IV* INTRODUCTION This article traces Roman charity from its incipient meager beginnings during Rome's infancy to the mature legal formula it assumed after intersecting with the Roman emperors and Christianity. During this evolution, charity went from being a haphazard and often accidental private event to a broad undertaking of public, religious, and legal commitment. To mention the obvious, Rome was the greatest and most influential empire in the ancient world. It lasted more than a thousand years, traditionally beginning in 753 B.C. as a kingdom under Romulus.' In 509 B.C. it became a republic with permanent tyranny beginning in 31 B.C. under direction of the immortal Julius Caesar.2 The exact date of the end of * Professor and Director, Walter H.

H. Dudley Buxton and Strickland Gibson wrote that ‘the history of academical costume is one of great difficulty and one which at present has no authoritative historian’.1 W. N. Hargreaves-Mawdsley is generally acknowledged to have succeeded in filling that role with the publication three decades later of his History of Academical Dress in Europe until the End of the Eighteenth Century.2 Charles A. H. Franklyn welcomed it in a short review, declaring, with an echo of Buxton and Gibson, that Hargreaves-Mawdsley had ‘tackled a most difficult subject in a masterly manner and his book, filling a long-felt need, will remain for all time the standard work on the subject and a monument to his industry’.3 From Franklyn that was praise indeed! While he picked up one or two errors of fact, he did not detect—or at any rate did not comment on—the numerous inaccuracies the book contains in references to the pictorial evidence.

    François Soyer 392 The Passion of Christ in the Church of San Cristóbal de Rapaz: An example of Medieval Anti-Jewish Iconography in Colonial Peru? François Soyer (University of Southampton) The church of San Cristóbal de Rapaz in Peru would seem to be an unlikely place to find anti-Jewish imagery. Situated in the remote high Andean village of Rapaz, located at an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters above sea level in the province of Oyón, this small village of circa 500 inhabitants lies perched in a natural terrace on a steeply sloping mountain that can still only be reached via a road that snakes its way along hairpin bends whilst hugging the precipitous mountainside. Map: Location of the village of Rapaz in Peru ISSN 1540 5877 eHumanista/Conversos 5 (2017): 392-416 François Soyer 393 Despite its isolation, the village has become famous for two reasons. The first reason is the preservation in the village of a striking quipu (or khipu): a system of knotted strings used by Andean peoples to record, preserve and transmit accounting information about goods and peoples (Salomon, Brezine, Chapa and Falcón Huayta 2011). The second reason is the remarkable church of San Cristóbal (see plate 1). The edifice was built in the eighteenth century and its dimensions – a single nave structure with no bell tower that is 8.45 meters wide, 27,60 meters long and 10 meters high – make it an imposing construction for such a small village. Its most salient figures are the impressive altar and the painted murals that adorn the outside and inside of the church, covering even the wooden arches that support the church’s ceiling.
