  • Medicinal Vessels from Tell Atrib (Egypt)
    Études et Travaux XXX (2017), 315–337 Medicinal Vessels from Tell Atrib (Egypt) A Ł, A P Abstract: This article off ers publication of seventeen miniature vessels discovered in Hellenistic strata of Athribis (modern Tell Atrib) during excavations carried out by Polish- -Egyptian Mission in the 1980s/1990s. The vessels, made of clay, faience and bronze, are mostly imports from various areas within the Mediterranean, including Sicily and Lycia, and more rarely – local imitations of imported forms. Two vessels carry stamps with Greek inscriptions, indicating that they were containers for lykion, a medicine extracted from the plant of the same name, highly esteemed in antiquity. The vessels may be connected with a healing activity practised within the Hellenistic bath complex. Keywords: Tell Atrib, Hellenistic Egypt, pottery, medicinal vessels, lykion, healing activity Adam Łajtar, Institute of Archaeology, University of Warsaw, Warszawa; [email protected] Anna Południkiewicz, Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw, Warszawa; [email protected] Archaeological excavations carried out between 1985 and 1999 by a Polish-Egyptian Mission within the Hellenistic and Roman dwelling districts and industrial quarters of ancient Athribis (modern Tell Atrib), the capital of the tenth Lower Egyptian nome,1 yielded an interesting series of miniature vessels made of clay, faience and bronze.2 Identical or similar vessels are known from numerous sites within the Mediterranean and are considered as containers for medicines in a liquid form.

Evsyukova1, I.G. Barabanova2, O.V. Glukhova3, E.A. Cherednikova4 Abstract: This article researches how the Greek lingvoculture represented in onomasticon of the South of Russia. The South Russian anthroponyms, toponyms and pragmatonyms are considered in this article and how they verbalize the most important values and ideological views. It is proved in the article that the key concepts of the Greek lingvoculture such as: “Peace”, “Faith”, “Love”, “Heroism”, “Knowledge”, “Alphabet”, “Power”, “Charismatic person” and “Craft” are highly concentrated in the onomastic lexis of the researched region. The mentioned above concepts due to their specific pragmatic orientation are represented at different extend.

  • A Comparative Study of Ancient Greek City Walls in North-Western Black Sea During the Classical and Hellenistic Times
    INTERNATIONAL HELLENIC UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES MA IN BLACK SEA CULTURAL STUDIES A comparative study of ancient Greek city walls in North-Western Black Sea during the Classical and Hellenistic times Thessaloniki, 2011 Supervisor’s name: Professor Akamatis Ioannis Student’s name: Fantsoudi Fotini Id number:2201100018 Abstract Greek presence in the North Western Black Sea Coast is a fact proven by literary texts, epigraphical data and extensive archaeological remains. The latter in particular are the most indicative for the presence of walls in the area and through their craftsmanship and techniques being used one can closely relate these defensive structures to the walls in Asia Minor and the Greek mainland. The area examined in this paper, lies from ancient Apollonia Pontica on the Bulgarian coast and clockwise to Kerch Peninsula.When establishing in these places, Greeks created emporeia which later on turned into powerful city states. However, in the early years of colonization no walls existed as Greeks were starting from zero and the construction of walls needed large funds. This seems to be one of the reasons for the absence of walls of the Archaic period to which lack comprehensive fieldwork must be added. This is also the reason why the Archaic period is not examined, but rather the Classical and Hellenistic until the Roman conquest. The aim of Greeks when situating the Black Sea was to permanently relocate and to become autonomous from their mother cities. In order to be so, colonizers had to create cities similar to their motherlands. More specifically, they had to build public buildings, among which walls in order to prevent themselves from the indigenous tribes lurking to chase away the strangers from their land.

  • The Chora of Nymphaion (6Th Century BC-6Th Century
    The Chora of Nymphaion (6th century BC-6th century AD) Viktor N. Zin’ko The exploration of the rural areas of the European Bosporos has gained in scope over the last decades. Earlier scholars focused on studying particular archaeological sites and an overall reconstruction of the rural territories of the Bosporan poleis as well as on a general understanding of the polis-chora relationship.1 These works did not aim at an in-depth study of the chora of any one particular city-state limited as they were to small-scale excavations of individual settlements. In 1989, the author launched a comprehensive research project on the chora of Nymphaion. A careful examination of archive materials and the results of the surveys revealed an extensive number of previously unknown archaeological sites. The limits of Nymphaion’s rural territory corresponded to natural bor- der-lines (gullies, steep slopes of ridges etc.) impassable to the Barbarian cav- alry. The region has better soils than the rest of the peninsula, namely dark chestnut černozems,2 and the average level of precipitation is 100 mm higher than in other areas.3 The core of the territory was represented by fertile lands, Fig. 1. Map of the Kimmerian Bosporos (hatched – chora of Nymphaion in the 5th century BC; cross‑hatched – chora of Nymphaion in the 4th‑early 3rd centuries BC). 20 Viktor N. Zin’ko stretching from the littoral inland, and bounded to the north and south by two ravines situated 7 km apart. The two ravines originally began at the western extremities of the ancient estuaries (now the Tobečik and Čurubaš Lakes).

  • Bosporos and Chersonesos in the 4Th-2Nd Centuries BC
    Bosporos and Chersonesos in the 4th-2nd Centuries BC Evgenij A. Molev The political relations between the two leading states in Taurica – Bosporos and Chersonesos – have for long attracted the attention of scholars. However, the conclusions reached about the nature of the relations during various historical periods differ widely due to the almost complete lack of evidence from the literary sources. This paper will consider once again the character of the political contacts between Bosporos and Chersonesos during the Hellenistic period, beginning from the moment when “Crimea was in fact divided”1 between these two states until they both became subjects to the Kingdom of Pontos. Only one written document contains direct evidence about the political contacts between Bosporos and Chersonesos during this period – namely the Chersonesean decree in honour of Syriskos of the 3rd century BC (IOSPE I2, 344). Nevertheless, indirect information can be obtained from epigraphy, numismatics and material from archaeological excavations. On the basis of this, a number of researchers have come to the conclusion that the first con- tact concerned the struggle for Theodosia where they opposed each other. In favour of this view, the following arguments have been put forward: 1) Theodosia, Phanagoria, and Chersonesos borrowing the coin types of Herakleia suggests that some sort of alliance existed between these cities.2 2) Theodosia issuing coins with Chersonesean types at the Chersonesean mint, may indicate open participation of Chersonesos in the war against Bosporos.3 This hypothesis, put forward by M.I. Zolotarev, has been supported by S.Ju. Saprykin and Ju.G. Vinogradov.4 3) The majority of Herakleian imports in Bosporos belong to the second half of the 4th century BC, i.e.

  • Late Hellenistic Pottery and Lamps from Pantikapaion: Recent Finds
    Late Hellenistic Pottery and Lamps from Pantikapaion: Recent Finds Denis Žuravlev & Natalia Žuravleva Introduction This paper is based on finds of late Hellenistic table ware and lamps found during the last excavations of the Bosporan archaeological expedition of the Push kin Museum of Fine Arts in Pantikapaion on the ancient acropolis, the Mithridates hill.1 This pottery has not been published until now, with the exception of isolated contexts from cisterns2 as well as some lamps.3 The col- lection is being prepared for publication,4 but here we examine briefly only the most important groups of late Hellenistic pottery from Pantikapaion. Imported mouldmade bowls Mouldmade bowls comprise one of the main groups of Hellenistic table ware at Bosporan sites. One can hardly say that scholars from the former USSR, Russia and Ukraine did not pay any attention to mouldmade pottery from this region. However, most of these publications were written in the 1950s – 1970s.5 The only later study of mouldmade pottery of the North Black Sea area, was the PhD dissertation prepared by S. Kovalenko in 1989. Unfortunately, this has never been published and exists only as a manuscript.6 The study of mouldmade pottery of the North Pontic area has been ne- glected greatly in recent years; in the past 12 years only five articles in Russian devoted to this topic have been published. However, a Corpus of Megarian Bowls is going to be published in Ukraine very soon.7 It will include a huge amount of mouldmade pottery from the collection of the Archaeological Mu- seum in Kerč.
