Using a variety of primary sources, including vase paintings, mosaics and literary accounts from the period, this paper will seek to inform the reader how the mythic accounts of the boar hunt by the Greeks turned into a trophy hunt for the Romans. Besides looking at the two powers, a careful look at royal Macedonian boar hunting culture will seek to “bridge the gap” between the cultural transfer from Greek to Roman. iv Introduction Here was the lair of a huge boar among some thick brush-wood, so dense that the wind and rain could not get through it, nor could the sun’s rays pierce it, and the ground underneath lay thick with fallen leaves.

Valéry Montpellier 3, CNRS ASM, UMR5140, 34090 Montpellier, France ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: The Corinth Gulf, Central Greece, is one of the most rapidly widening tectonic rifts on Earth, where large Corinth Gulf earthquakes with magnitudes of up ~7.0 have been documented not only by instrumental records but also Lechaion ancient harbor assessed from historical reports extending back to the 5th century BCE. Several of these earthquakes were as- Tsunami sociated with tsunamis, particularly in the western part of the Gulf. Of particular interest is the ancient harbor of Beachrock Lechaion in the eastern side of Corinth Gulf. We reexamine the hypothesis that Lechaion was hit by high-energy Coastal processes tsunami waves in the 8th–6th century BCE, 1st–2nd century CE, and during the 6th century CE. On the basis of Human impacts sedimentological, seismotectonic, archaeological and historical data, completed with field observations, we support that there is no evidence for tsunami impact in Lechaion. Local stratigraphy and environmental changes are rather interpreted by human impacts and gradual coastal processes.
