PHOCAEAN COLONISATION* Jean-Paul Morel During the Last Few Decades There Has Been a Noticeable Revival of Interest in Phocaean E PHOCAEAN COLONISATION* Jean-Paul Morel During the last few decades there has been a noticeable revival of interest in Phocaean expansion, for long somewhat neglected in the history of Greek colonisation.1 This migration has many uncommon aspects, not least its late beginnings—in the West it really did not start until the 6th century, while many other colonial movements had begun in the 8th or 7th centuries. Arriving, as a result, in a Mediterranean which was already largely occupied, the Phocaeans were forced to establish themselves in more remote regions than other Greeks (Fig. 1). On the other hand, this expansion covered a particularly long period of time, until Marseilles fell under Roman domination in 49 B.C. This double peculiarity of lateness and dura- tion explains why the Hellenistic period occupies an exceptional place in the history of Phocaean colonisation, which we can mention here only marginally. Phocaea and the First Phocaean Expansion On the whole, Phocaea, the metropolis of the Phocaeans, has been studied less than its main colonies. F. Sartiaux carried out short investigations there in 1914 and again in 1920. In 1953–55 E. Akurgal directed major excavations, published briefly. But the research carried out by Ö. Özyi<it since 1989 has enlarged our knowledge considerably.2 * Translated by Nevena Georgieva. Where no confusion is likely to arise, Spanish surnames are given in the shorter form here, but in full in the bibliography. For example, Sanmartí 1989 refers to the author Sanmartí i Grego (Editor). 1 In particular, since a ‘founder’ colloquium in 1966: Velia e i Focei in Occidente 1966. For the state of the question, see Morel 1966; 1975; 1982; 1995a; Domínguez 1985; 1991; Hodge 1998. 2 On the history of the excavation of Phocaea, see Morel-Deledalle 1995; Akurgal 1995, 33; Hermary in Hermary et al. 1999, 25–9. 360 jean-paul morel Phocaea (the present Foça) was situated in the centre of the Aegean littoral of Asia Minor, in the area to the north of the Gulf of Smyrna, close to the coastal entrance to the valley of the Hermos, i.e. of rich Lydia (Strabo 13. 4. 5). Its origins are obscure (Athenians?—more likely Aeolians; before an ‘Ionianisation’ at the end of the 9th cen- tury?).3 The relatively infertile territory and the presence of two ports flanking a peninsula destined it to a maritime fate ( Justinus 43. 3. 5). A temple of Athena of the second quarter of the 6th century has been found there, with capitals of different types (Ionic, with leaves drooping, palm-like). Further finds are an other Ionic capital, similar to those of the Treasury of the Massaliotes at Delphi, cult niches (to Cybele?) cut into the rock, a stone naiskos which finds par- allels at Massalia and at Elea/Hyele, an Archaic settlement, a the- atre of the 340s–330s B.C., quarries and pottery workshops. Finally, the latest research has revealed a magnificently constructed city wall attributed to the 590s–580s B.C., reaching 4m thick. It is tempting to see it as the rampart built thanks to the generosity of the Tartessian king, Arganthonius (Herodotus 1. 163). The length of this wall (more than 5km) made the Archaic city one of the largest of its time.4 The coins of Phocaea were of undeniably Ionian style, but numerous influences on the art of the West (Phocaean colonies, Gaul, the Iberian Peninsula and, above all, Etruria) have been attributed to it without any deep or extensive knowledge of the city’s own art.5 Phocaea belonged to the Ionian League. It venerated the Ephesian Artemis, the Pan-Ionian goddess, whose cult it propagated in the West.6 It participated together with other Ionians in different joint foundations, such as Naukratis in the Nile Delta (Herodotus 2. 178) and, probably, Gravisca in Etruria (see below). The first Phocaean colony appears to have been Lampsacus (Lapseki), established in Asia Minor on the Hellespont in the territory of the 3 Sources and references in Keil 1941; Graf 1985, 402; Phocée et la fondation de Marseille 1995.

  • Poverty, Charity and the Papacy in The
    TRICLINIUM PAUPERUM: POVERTY, CHARITY AND THE PAPACY IN THE TIME OF GREGORY THE GREAT AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF MARCH, 2013 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY ___________________________ Miles Doleac APPROVED: ________________________ Dennis P. Kehoe, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ F. Thomas Luongo, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ Thomas D. Frazel, Ph.D AN ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of Gregory I (r. 590-604 CE) in developing permanent ecclesiastical institutions under the authority of the Bishop of Rome to feed and serve the poor and the socio-political world in which he did so. Gregory’s work was part culmination of pre-existing practice, part innovation. I contend that Gregory transformed fading, ancient institutions and ideas—the Imperial annona, the monastic soup kitchen-hospice or xenodochium, Christianity’s “collection for the saints,” Christian caritas more generally and Greco-Roman euergetism—into something distinctly ecclesiastical, indeed “papal.” Although Gregory has long been closely associated with charity, few have attempted to unpack in any systematic way what Gregorian charity might have looked like in practical application and what impact it had on the Roman Church and the Roman people. I believe that we can see the contours of Gregory’s initiatives at work and, at least, the faint framework of an organized system of ecclesiastical charity that would emerge in clearer relief in the eighth and ninth centuries under Hadrian I (r. 772-795) and Leo III (r.

  • 2 the Cinderella Story in Antiquity
    2 THE CINDERELLA STORY IN ANTIQUITY Cinderella can fairly be claimed as the best known of fairytales in modern times, as well as the first tale to be subjected to attempts at the ‘exhaustive’ collecting of its variants. It was long assumed that the story, or rather group of stories, did not date much further back than the early seventeenth century, when a recognisable form of it appeared as Basile’s La Gatta Cenerentola.1 But from time to time throughout this century discoveries have been made to show that the tale must be much older, and few who have seriously examined the evidence would be tempted to measure the tale as a whole by the yardstick of its most famous example, the version published by Charles Perrault in 1697.2 It can now be seen that a number of the Perrault features such as glass slipper, pumpkin coach, clock striking midnight, and others, are not essential, or even necessarily characteristic, of the orally transmitted story. Taken as a whole, the hundreds of versions known present the heroine under a variety of names: Cinderella, Ashiepattle and Popelutschka are the most obvious European variations; sometimes she has sisters (often less beautiful, rather than ugly), sometimes not; sometimes she has a fairy godmother helper, sometimes a helpful animal or plant, sometimes even a fairy godfather, or some combination of such forces. The basic framework for the story printed by Aarne-Thompson can be slightly abridged as follows:3 I The persecuted heroine 1. The heroine is abused by her stepmother and stepsisters; she stays on the hearth and ashes; and 2.

The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

  • Rank Orders of Mammalian Pathogenicity-Related PB2
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Rank orders of mammalian pathogenicity-related PB2 mutations of avian infuenza A viruses Chung-Young Lee1, Se-Hee An1, Jun-Gu Choi 4, Youn-Jeong Lee4, Jae-Hong Kim1,3 & Hyuk-Joon Kwon2,3,5* The PB2 gene is one of the key determinants for the mammalian adaptation of avian infuenza A viruses (IAVs). Although mammalian pathogenicity-related mutations (MPMs) in PB2 genes were identifed in diferent genetic backgrounds of avian IAVs, the relative efects of single or multiple mutations on viral ftness could not be directly compared. Furthermore, their mutational steps during mammalian adaptation had been unclear. In this study, we collectively compared the efects of individual and combined MPMs on viral ftness and determined their rank orders using a prototypic PB2 gene. Early acquired mutations may determine the function and potency of subsequent mutations and be important for recruiting multiple, competent combinations of MPMs. Higher mammalian pathogenicity was acquired with the greater accumulation of MPMs. Thus, the rank orders and the prototypic PB2 gene may be useful for predicting the present and future risks of PB2 genes of avian and mammalian IAVs. Waterfowl are reservoirs for infuenza A viruses (IAVs), and close interaction between waterfowl and other ani- mals causes occasional cross species transmission to result in successful settle-down by acquiring host adaptive mutations in their eight segmented genomes (PB2, PB1, PA, HA, NP, NA, M, and NS)1. In particular, the PB2 protein, which is involved in cap snatching of the host mRNA, has been regarded as one of the key molecules to overcome species-specifc host barriers2–4.

Trade and Commerce At Sepphoris, Israel Sarah VanSickle 1998 Honors Research Dr. Dennis E. Groh, Advisor I Introduction Trade patterns in the Near East are the subject of conflicting interpretations. Researchers debate whether Galilean cities utilized trade routes along the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean or were self-sufficient, with little access to trade. An analysis of material culture found at specific sites can most efficiently determine the extent of trade in the region. If commerce is extensive, a significant assemblage of foreign goods will be found; an overwhelming majority of provincial artifacts will suggest minimal trade.

  • Ptolemaic Foundations in Asia Minor and the Aegean As the Lagids’ Political Tool
    ELECTRUM * Vol. 20 (2013): 57–76 doi: 10.4467/20800909EL.13.004.1433 PTOLEMAIC FOUNDATIONS IN ASIA MINOR AND THE AEGEAN AS THE LAGIDS’ POLITICAL TOOL Tomasz Grabowski Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Kraków Abstract: The Ptolemaic colonisation in Asia Minor and the Aegean region was a signifi cant tool which served the politics of the dynasty that actively participated in the fi ght for hegemony over the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea basin. In order to specify the role which the settlements founded by the Lagids played in their politics, it is of considerable importance to establish as precise dating of the foundations as possible. It seems legitimate to acknowledge that Ptolemy II possessed a well-thought-out plan, which, apart from the purely strategic aspects of founding new settlements, was also heavily charged with the propaganda issues which were connected with the cult of Arsinoe II. Key words: Ptolemies, foundations, Asia Minor, Aegean. Settlement of new cities was a signifi cant tool used by the Hellenistic kings to achieve various goals: political and economic. The process of colonisation was begun by Alex- ander the Great, who settled several cities which were named Alexandrias after him. The process was successfully continued by the diadochs, and subsequently by the follow- ing rulers of the monarchies which emerged after the demise of Alexander’s state. The new settlements were established not only by the representatives of the most powerful dynasties: the Seleucids, the Ptolemies and the Antigonids, but also by the rulers of the smaller states. The kings of Pergamum of the Attalid dynasty were considerably active in this fi eld, but the rulers of Bithynia, Pontus and Cappadocia were also successful in this process.1 Very few regions of the time remained beyond the colonisation activity of the Hellenistic kings.

  • Maxim M. KHOLOD1
    Studia Antiqua et Archaeologica 26(2): 199–211 On the Ionian League in the Fourth Century BC Maxim M. KHOLOD1 Abstract. The author argues that the revival of the Ionian League, most likely dissolved by the Persians right after 494, happened ca. 373 BC. The sLeague seems to have been refounded then as a purely religious association. Its life was very long this time: the League most probably did not cease to exist not only during the rest of the 4th century BC but it was the same one which functioned almost interruptedly throughout further several centuries and disappeared only at a moment after the mid-3rd century AD. Rezumat. Autorul susține că renașterea Ligii Ionice, cel mai probabil dizolvată de perși imediat după 494, s-a produs aprocimativ în 373 î.H. Liga pare să fi fost reîntemeiată atunci ca o asociație pur religioasă. Existența sa a fost foarte îndelungată: Liga nu numai că nu a încetat cel mai probabil să existe pe parcursul secolului al IV-lea î.Hr., ci a funcționat aproape neîntrerupt în secolele care au urmat și a dispărut imediat după mijlocul secolului al III-lea d.Hr. Keywords: Ionian League, Panionion, Panionia, Persian Empire, Alexander the Great. The evidence for the Ionian League (also named the Panionian League) in the Classical period, after the suppression of the Ionian revolt by the Persians in 4942, is scarce. It is absolutely absent for the rest of the 5th century, a fact speaking, in all likelihood, that the League did not exist at this time3. Furthermore, it is significant that Herodotus describing the Panionion, a sacred place of the Ionians at Mycale in the territory of Priene, writes about a festival of the Ionian League in honour of Heliconian Poseidon held at this place, the Panionia, as if it is no longer celebrated in his time (I, 148)4.
