I 19H CLJ pM INTRODUCTION TnE STUDY OK NuMiSMATCcs is at the basis of many branches of human knowledge, such as Chronolog}-, Iconography, History, the Science of Religion, Architecture, Costumes, Language, the Arts of the Ancients, etc. Hirtius called Numismatics the Light of Archaeological science ; Friedrick Creuzer a mirror in which is reflected the whole life of the ancient world, and a great many other learned men encouraged this very useful study. The constantly recurring difficulty of identifying ancient coins has always been a stumbling-block to the numisma- tisl, varying in accordance with his experience and knowledge and with the rarity of the coin in question. The ckissification of coins under the headings of countries, towns, kings, etc, though useful, and in some cases adequate, at times involves rauch search, at the end of which the enquirer may still be in a state of uncertainty. Some- times, too, the country or town of issue is unnamed or obliterated, in which case the collector has only the slenderest clues to guide him. The present work, which has been achieved after the labour of many years and the expenditure of a large sum of money, was undertaken with the view of removing the difliculties which tend to make the collection of coins laborious and unsatisfactory to all except the expert. For convenience's sake I have divided the work in two Sections, the first comprizing all coin-types representing inanimate objects, plants, etc, which occur either alone or as symbols in conjunction with figures, animals, etc, the second all coin-types representing animate objects, such as figures of deities, heroes, dynasts, animals, etc Section I is subdivided into eight categories forming six Parts as under : Part I. Industry. Vases, Recipients, Tables, Tripods, etc — II. War. Arms, Weapons, Armour, Standards, etc — III. Agriculture. Plants and Trees, Fruits, Flowers, etc — IV. Religion. Altars, Attributes of Deities, Sacrifice, etc — V. Architecture. Buildings, Edifices, Monuments, Temples, etc Naval and Marine. Galley, Shells, etc — VI. Science and the Arts. Astronomy, Sculpture, Music, Comedy, etc Various. Every known Greek and Graeco-Roman coin the type of which represents an inanimate object or a plant has been classified under the heading of the type and also of the symbol, or symbols represented upon it, and thus identification becomes the work of a few moments. VIII The number of coins contained under these classifications is 7743, progressively recorded in tlie six Farts, but this number approaches in reality 8000 by the additions made under the same number with diflerent letters. Each Section is accompanied by a fuU Catalogue of all the coins represented or referred to on the Plates and a gene- ral guide-Index, which is a summary of the contents. Every object is classified alphabetically. The various lypes and symbols are referred to each other as in Dictionaries. The Catalogue describes each coin in a tabular form, indicating place of issue, mint, name of dynast, etc, type and symbols (if any) of obverse and reverse, metal, size in English inches and French millimeters, weight in grains and in grammes, whenever possible, denomination, datc, reference to the Plates, and sources of reference, such as the British Museum Catalogue of greek coins, the Catalogue of the Plunterian Collection, the standard treatises of Mionnet, Babe- lon, Head, Imhoof-Blumer, etc, and every authoritative paper and important catalogue, British and.Foreign, comprising all the available material till 1909. To this descriptive Catalogue, the arrangement of which, does not need any further explanation, is appended a list of priccs of greek coins from records of the leading auction-rooms, a Polyglot Dictionary giving in (i\e of the principal European languages the equivalent technical and descriptive term used in the work, with a list of the abbreviations. The Plates, which are the main part of the work and enable any one to rapidly identifying any coins, have been prepared with the utmost care, either from the originals, or from illustrations in Catalogues, etc. I sincerly wish that my work will prove a help to the numerous sludents of greek numismatics and tiiat the labour expended on this self-imposed task has not been entirely wasted.

  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

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.

  • The Christian Remains of the Seven Churches of the Apocalypse
    1974, 3) THE BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGIST 69 The Christian Remains of the Seven Churches of the Apocalypse OTTO F. A. MEINARDU S Athens, Greece Some months ago, I revisited the island of Patmos and the sites of the seven churches to which letters are addressed in the second and third chap- ters of the book of Revelation. What follows is a report on such Christian remains as have survived and an indication of the various traditions which have grown up at the eight locations, where, as at so many other places in the Orthodox and Latin world, piety has sought tangible localization. I set out from Piraeus and sailed to the island of Patmos, off the Turkish coast, which had gained its significance because of the enforced exile of God's servant John (Rev. 1:1, 9) and from the acceptance of the Revelation in the NT canon. From the tiny port of Skala, financial and tourist center of Patmos, the road ascends to the 11th century Greek Orthodox monastery of St. John the Theologian. Half way to this mighty fortress monastery, I stopped at the Monastery of the Apocalypse, which enshrines the "Grotto of the Revelation." Throughout the centuries pilgrims have come to this site to receive blessings. When Pitton de Tournefort visited Patmos in 1702, the grotto was a poor hermitage administered by the bishop of Samos. The abbot presented de Tournefort with pieces of rock from the grotto, assuring him that they could expel evil spirits and cure diseases. Nowadays, hundreds of western tourists visit the grotto daily, especially during the summer, and are shown those traditional features which are related in one way or another with the vision of John.

  • The Grave Goods of Roman Hierapolis
    THE GRAVE GOODS OF ROMAN HIERAPOLIS AN ANALYSIS OF THE FINDS FROM FOUR MULTIPLE BURIAL TOMBS Hallvard Indgjerd Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History University of Oslo This thesis is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts June 2014 The Grave Goods of Roman Hierapolis ABSTRACT The Hellenistic and Roman city of Hierapolis in Phrygia, South-Western Asia Minor, boasts one of the largest necropoleis known from the Roman world. While the grave monuments have seen long-lasting interest, few funerary contexts have been subject to excavation and publication. The present study analyses the artefact finds from four tombs, investigating the context of grave gifts and funerary practices with focus on the Roman imperial period. It considers to what extent the finds influence and reflect varying identities of Hierapolitan individuals over time. Combined, the tombs use cover more than 1500 years, paralleling the life-span of the city itself. Although the material is far too small to give a conclusive view of funerary assem- blages in Hierapolis, the attempted close study and contextual integration of the objects does yield some results with implications for further studies of funerary contexts on the site and in the wider region. The use of standard grave goods items, such as unguentaria, lamps and coins, is found to peak in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Clay unguentaria were used alongside glass ones more than a century longer than what is usually seen outside of Asia Minor, and this period saw the development of new forms, partially resembling Hellenistic types. Some burials did not include any grave gifts, and none were extraordinarily rich, pointing towards a standardised, minimalistic set of funerary objects.

Epigtoaphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 1996 (EBGR 1996) The ninth issue of the BEGR contains only part of the epigraphie harvest of 1996; unforeseen circumstances have prevented me and my collaborators from covering all the publications of 1996, but we hope to close the gaps next year. We have also made several additions to previous issues. In the past years the BEGR had often summarized publications which were not primarily of epigraphie nature, thus tending to expand into an unavoidably incomplete bibliography of Greek religion. From this issue on we return to the original scope of this bulletin, whieh is to provide information on new epigraphie finds, new interpretations of inscriptions, epigraphieal corpora, and studies based p;imarily on the epigraphie material. Only if we focus on these types of books and articles, will we be able to present the newpublications without delays and, hopefully, without too many omissions.

Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site.
