  • From Boston to Rome: Reflections on Returning Antiquities David Gill* and Christopher Chippindale**
    International Journal of Cultural Property (2006) 13:311–331. Printed in the USA. Copyright © 2006 International Cultural Property Society DOI: 10.1017/S0940739106060206 From Boston to Rome: Reflections on Returning Antiquities David Gill* and Christopher Chippindale** Abstract: The return of 13 classical antiquities from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) to Italy provides a glimpse into a major museum’s acquisition patterns from 1971 to 1999. Evidence emerging during the trial of Marion True and Robert E. Hecht Jr. in Rome is allowing the Italian authorities to identify antiquities that have been removed from their archaeological contexts by illicit digging. Key dealers and galleries are identified, and with them other objects that have followed the same route. The fabrication of old collections to hide the recent surfacing of antiquities is also explored. In October 2006 the MFA agreed to return to Italy a series of 13 antiquities (Ap- pendix). These included Attic, Apulian, and Lucanian pottery as well as a Roman portrait of Sabina and a Roman relief fragment.1 This return is forming a pattern as other museums in North America are invited to deaccession antiquities that are claimed to have been illegally removed from Italy. The evidence that the pieces were acquired in a less than transparent way is beginning to emerge. For example, a Polaroid photograph of the portrait of Sabina (Appendix no. 1) was seized in the raid on the warehousing facility of Giacomo Medici in the Geneva Freeport.2 Polaroids of two Apulian pots, an amphora (no. 9) and a loutrophoros (no. 11), were also seized.3 As other photographic and documentary evidence emerges dur- ing the ongoing legal case against Marion True and Robert E.

The goal then appears to be the attainment of all desirable boons and the elimination of possible impediments: there is rain magic, fertility magic, love magic, and destructive magic. The conception of ritual as a kind of language, however, leads beyond this constraining artifice; magic is present only insofar as ritual is consciously placed in the service of some end — which may then undoubtedly affect the form of the ritual. Religious ritual is given as a collective institution; the individual participates within the framework of social communication, with the strongest motivating force being the need not in the study of religion which came to be generally acknowledged to stand apart.

The wedding ceremony was the pivotal coming-of-age rite for young women, and thus provides ample opportunity to assess societal ideals for women in Classical Athens.

  • Time and Religion in Hellenistic Athens: an Interpretation of the Little Metropolis Frieze
    Time and Religion in Hellenistic Athens: An Interpretation of the Little Metropolis Frieze. Monica Haysom School of History, Classics and Archaeology Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Newcastle University, November 2015. ABSTRACT Two stones that form a part of the spolia on the Little Metropolis church (Aghios Eleutherios) in central Athens consist of a frieze depicting a calendar year. The thesis begins with a Preface that discusses the theoretical approaches used. An Introduction follows which, for reference, presents the 41 images on the frieze using the 1932 interpretation of Ludwig Deubner. After evaluating previous studies in Chapter 1, the thesis then presents an exploration of the cultural aspects of time in ancient Greece (Chapter 2). A new analysis of the frieze, based on ancient astronomy, dates the frieze to the late Hellenistic period (Chapter 3); a broad study of Hellenistic calendars identifies it as Macedonian (Chapter 4), and suggests its original location and sponsor (Chapter 5). The thesis presents an interpretation of the frieze that brings the conclusions of these chapters together, developing an argument that includes the art, religion and philosophy of Athenian society contemporary with the construction of the frieze. Given the date, the Macedonian connection and the link with an educational establishment, the final Chapter 6 presents an interpretation based not on the addition of individual images but on the frieze subject matter as a whole. This chapter shows that understanding the frieze is dependent on a number of aspects of the world of artistic connoisseurship in an elite, educated audience of the late Hellenistic period.

  • The Capitoline and Medici Aphrodites, Four Nymphs at Elean Herakleia, and an Aphrodite at Megalopolismegalopoli Sss***
    A Tale of Seven Nudes: The Capitoline and Medici Aphrodites, Four Nymphs at Elean Herakleia, and an Aphrodite at MegalopoliMegalopolissss*** The Capitoline Aphrodite (fig. 1) counts among the most copied statues of antiquity. In 1951, Bianca Felletti Maj collected 101 replicas of the type compared with 33 for the Medici Aphrodite (fig. 2) and a mere five for the so-called Aphrodite of the Troad; and many more examples have surfaced since. 1 Yet despite the Capitoline type’s popularity, the date, location and authorship of its original remain clouded, as does its relation to these other ‘pudica’-type Aphrodites, especially the Medici. Leaving aside the Aphro- dite of the Troad, this article presents new evidence that may resolve one of these problems and sheds some new light upon some of the others. 1. NARRATIVE AND CONTEXT First, what do we know about the Capitoline type (fig. 1)? Stark naked, the goddess stands on her left leg with her right leg relaxed. She covers her genitals with her left hand, begins to shield her breasts with her right hand, and starts to turn and glance to her left, apparently because some unexpected intruder has caught her attention. Beside her left leg stands a tall, slim water * This study was conceived in 1999, begun in 2005, and completed in summer 2008 on a visiting fellowship at the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut in Berlin. There, working through its splendid collection of periodicals, I came upon Xeni Arapoyianni’s publication of the Elean mirror illustrated in figs 9 and 10, which I had noticed in the Elis Museum nine years previously.

    Greek Painted Pottery An Introduction Pottery parts Greek Vases Most of these names are just modern conventions. The use of these names in antiquity is not certain and the small evidence that we have suggest that: - Some of these names are clearly wrong - Some other names were used by the Greek in much more generic sense and not for specific vase types. In any case, scholars still keep on using these names since they are so well-spread in the academic community that using them makes sense. When in doubt, check here: https://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/tools/pottery/shapes/ Main transport and containing types • Amphora •Pithos •Hydria •Kalpis •Stamnos •Peliké Amphorae (painted types) An amphora (pl. amphorae; from Greek amphi - on both sides, phero - carry) is a two-handled pot with a neck that is considerably narrower than the body. It was used for the storage of liquids and solids such as grain. Undecorated 'coarse' amphorae, with their lower part tapering to a point, were the standard transport containers in the Mediterranean. They are frequently depicted in symposium scenes. Panathenaic prize amphorae are perhaps the closest in shape, but the majority of painted amphorae are grouped into two main types, the one-piece belly- amphorae, and neck-amphorae, which have a clearly-marked neck.

  • Glossary of the Ancient World
    GLOSSARY GLOSSARY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD AEGIS A divine emblem associated with the Greek gods Zeus and Athena, consisting of a scaly animal skin with a fringe of snake heads and a GORGON Medusa in the center (to ward off evil). In ancient art, Athena is often depicted wearing an aegis over her clothing like a breastplate. AMPHORA (pl. amphorae) A medium-size terracotta pot with two vertical handles, narrower neck, and bulging body. Very common in antiquity, amphorae were used for storing and transporting oil, wine, grains, and other commodities. Their shape changed somewhat over time, the bodies becoming more or less rounded, the necks more or less set off from the bodies, and so on. Various modifiers of the name (for example, neck-amphora, belly- amphora) indicate a specific shape of vase. ARCHAIC PERIOD The period from about 700 to 480 B.C. in the Greek world. ARYBALLOS (pl. aryballoi) A small terracotta vessel with a bulging body and narrow neck. It was used to hold perfumed oil. ATTRIBUTE An object closely associated with or characteristic of a person, divinity, or object. ATTIKA The area of Greece around the city of Athens. BLACK-FIGURE TECHNIQUE A style of decoration used on ancient Greek ceramics beginning in the late 7th century B.C.
