  • Temple Reuse in Late Antique Greece
    Temple Reuse in Late Antique Greece Stefan Moffat Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in Classics Supervisor: Dr. Geoffrey Greatrex Department of Classics and Religious Studies Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa July 2017 © Stefan Moffat, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 Abstract The subject of this thesis is the variety of ways that temples were reused by Romans, both Christian and non-Christian, at the end of Antiquity in the present-day country of Greece. It discusses these means of reuse using principally archaeological evidence as a means of countering interpretations of the material culture that temples were either destroyed or reused as churches. These interpretations are based on the assumption that contemporary written sources such as Saints’ ‘Lives’ (the literary genre known as hagiography) are an accurate portrayal of temple reuse in Late Antiquity, without taking into consideration the legendary nature of hagiography. On the other hand, they do not account for potentially contradictory evidence of temple reuse derived from archaeological excavation. It is argued in this thesis that archaeological evidence provides an alternative outcome to that described in contemporary written sources such as hagiography, one that emphasizes practical forms of temple reuse rather than religious. The evidence for this argument is presented at both a geographic level and as discreet categories of forms of reuse of both a religious and practical nature, as a first glimpse of the nuanced image of temple reuse in Greece. Specific examples of the evidence are then cited in a number of case studies to be further developed as a valid attribute in the characterisation of the Late Antique sacred landscape at the level of the Roman Empire.

(The road from Tegea to Argas is very well-suited for carriages, in fact a first-rate highway. [Loeb]) There are three main passages between Tegea and the valley of Achladokambos, the ancient Hysiai: a) the northern, around the hill of Mouchli, called unanimously Gyros; b) one south of Mouchli, formerly known by locals as Skala tou (Halil) Bey and in foreign literature usually as Kaki Skala, and c) the southern most, which crosses the Mount Parthenion, called indeed Partheni, which non-Greek scholars wrongly identify as Skala tou Bey. This 'Partheni' pass is the shortest route, but very steep; many ancient wheel-ruts are preserved there, but not in its entire length. On the original 'Skala tau Bey' route it has not been possible to find evidence for an ancient road. The 'Gyros' route is not recent, it has an interesting history as a 'route carrossiere', and it is ancient. Two travellers of the 19th century observed and recorded ancient wheel- marks there, and similar marks have recently been identified by the author at a third location on this ancient road. The ancient 'Gyros' road is the longest route, but it is the easiest one and suitable for carriages, and should be identified as the λεωφόροςfrom Tegea to Argas mentioned by Pausanias (8.54.5). Between Tegea and the Achladokambos valley - that is, at the ancient site of Hysiai - there were three connecting roads.

  • The Fortifications of Arkadian Poleis in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods
    THE FORTIFICATIONS OF ARKADIAN POLEIS IN THE CLASSICAL AND HELLENISTIC PERIODS by Matthew Peter Maher BA, The University of Western Ontario, 2002 BA, The University of Western Ontario, 2005 MA, The University of British Columbia, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Classics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2012 © Matthew Peter Maher, 2012 Abstract This study comprises a comprehensive and detailed account of the historical development of Greek military architecture and defensive planning specifically in Arkadia in the Classical and Hellenistic periods. It aims to resolve several problems, not least of all, to fill the large gap in our knowledge of both Arkadian fortifications and the archaeology record on the individual site level. After establishing that the Arkadian settlements in question were indeed poleis, and reviewing all previous scholarship on the sites, the fortification circuit of each polis is explored through the local history, the geographical/topographical setting, the architectural components of the fortifications themselves, and finally, the overall defensive planning inherent in their construction. Based an understanding of all of these factors, including historical probability, a chronology of construction for each site is provided. The synthesis made possible by the data gathered from the published literature and collected during the field reconnaissance of every site, has confirmed a number of interesting and noteworthy regionally specific patterns. Related to chronology, it is significant that there is no evidence for fortified poleis in Arkadia during the Archaic period, and when the poleis were eventually fortified in the Classical period, the fact that most appeared in the early fourth century BCE, strategically distributed in limited geographic areas, suggests that the larger defensive concerns of the Arkadian League were a factor.

  • Map 58 Peloponnesus Compiled by J
    Map 58 Peloponnesus Compiled by J. McK. Camp II and G. Reger (islands), 1994 Introduction The Peloponnese has been the focus of considerable topographical research for a long time. Virtually every early European traveler to mainland Greece spent time visiting the sites there, and in the twentieth century it has been the subject of numerous excavations and survey projects. Laconia, Messenia, western Achaea, the area around Megalopolis, the southern Argolid, and the Nemea/Phleious valleys have all received notable attention in recent years. Other areas have been studied largely by individuals–among them, Phaklares, Pikoulas, Pritchett, Wiseman– rather than large teams. The resulting picture of occupation, and of numbers of ancient sites known from the various areas, is inevitably uneven. In addition, surface survey all too often cannot distinguish a site’s extent or nature. No sites known solely from survey are marked here, and likewise very few known only from excavation (their ancient names unattested in each instance). Rather, the map’s primary goal is to mark the location of the mass of places and features mentioned in the literary sources and inscriptions. Given the scale, this alone constitutes a major challenge. The thirteen most significant authors for the purpose (Diodorus Siculus, Herodotus, Livy, Pausanias, Pliny, Plutarch, Polybius, Ptolemy, Scylax, Stephanus, Strabo, Thucydides, Xenophon), together with relevant inscriptions, between them preserve over 1,000 Peloponnesian toponyms; about 450 of these are marked. Among the authors, Pausanias dominates; seven of his ten books are devoted to the Peloponnese, and he preserves some 650 toponyms. The commentary on Pausanias by Papachatzes (1974-81) is a vital starting-point for further information, though more recent work by Phaklares, Pikoulas and the British Laconia survey team (Cavanagh 1996) should also be consulted.

  • Kiveri and Thermisi1
    KIVERI AND THERMISI1 (PLATES 114-117) D URING the years 1209-1212 Geoffroy I de Villehardouin, the Frankish Prince of Achaea, reduced the Byzantine strongholds of Acrocorinth, Nauplia, and Argos. Othon de la Roche, Great Lord of Athens, had assisted in their capture; for this service he was awarded the castles of Argos and Nauplia.2 These fortresses pre- sumably brought with them the Argolic plain which they dominate.' For ninety-nine years Othon's heirs on the Cadmeawere also Seigneurs of Argos and Nauplia. On March 15, 1311, Gautier I (V) de Brienne, Duke of Athens, led the brave Frankish chivalry of Greece to its annihilation on the field of the Boeotian Kephissos. After the carnage the victorious Catalan Grand Company found itself master of all the lands of the late Duke with the exception of the " Argive appurtenances beyond the Isthmus," which were salvaged for the rightful heir by the faithful castellan Gautier de Foucherolles.4 1 This study was undertaken while the author, as Charles Eliot Norton Fellow, was partici- pating in the American School Excavations at Lerna; the director, John L. Caskey, suggested the topic and offered constant encouragement. Peter Topping gave liberal assistance on specific points as well as criticizing preliminary drafts. The author was also privileged to consult Kevin Andrews, Colin Edmonson, Andreas Ioannou, Michael Jameson, Joseph Last, Anthony Luttrell, and Wulf Schaefer on various matters connected with the sites. 2The Chronicle of Morea, edited by John Schmitt, London, 1904, lines 2875-2883; Livre de la Conqueste de la Princee de 'Amoree: Chronique de Moree, edited by Jean Longnon, Paris, 1911, paragraph 200; Libro de los fechos et conquistas del Principado de la Morea, edited by Alfred Morel-Fatio, Geneva, 1885, paragraph 212.
