  • 200 Bc - Ad 400)
    ARAM, 13-14 (2001-2002), 171-191 P. ARNAUD 171 BEIRUT: COMMERCE AND TRADE (200 BC - AD 400) PASCAL ARNAUD We know little of Beirut's commerce and trade, and shall probably continue to know little about this matter, despite a lecture given by Mrs Nada Kellas in 19961. In fact, the history of Commerce and Trade relies mainly on both ar- chaeological and epigraphical evidence. As far as archaeological evidence is concerned, one must remember that only artefacts strongly linked with ceram- ics, i.e. vases themselves and any items, carried in amphoras, (predominantly, but not solely, liquids, can give information about the geographical origin, date and nature of such products. The huge quantities of materials brought to the light by recent excavations in Beirut should, one day, provide us with new evi- dence about importations of such products in Beirut, but we will await the complete study of this material, which, until today by no means provided glo- bal statistics valid at the whole town scale. The evidence already published still allows nothing more than mere subjective impressions about the origins of the material. I shall try nevertheless to rely on such impressions about that ma- terial, given that we lack statistics, and that it is impossible to infer from any isolated sherd the existence of permanent trade-routes and commercial flows. The results of such an inquiry would be, at present, worth little if not con- fronted with other evidence. On the other hand, it should be of great interest to identify specific Berytan productions among the finds from other sites in order to map the diffusion area of items produced in Beirut and the surrounding territory.

  • Ch. Börker/J. Burow, Amphorenstempel Aus Pergamon 573
    Mark L. Lawall: Ch. Börker/J. Burow, Amphorenstempel aus Pergamon 573 Christoph Börker und Johannes Burow , Die hellenistischen Amphorenstempel aus Pergamon. Pergamenische Forschungen 11. Walter de Gruyter, Berlin/New York 1998. XII, 160 Seiten, 6 Abbildun ­ gen, 40 Tafeln. This volume has two parts. Börker presents a revised publication of the ‘Pergamon-Komplex ’ (PK), originally published by Carl Schuchhardt in 1895 (Altertümer von Pergamon VIII2 [1895]); and Burow publishes other stamps found at Pergamon from both recent and past excavations. The many catalogue entries are grouped by city of origin or by name on the stamp. Brief introductions to each section summarize the current state of knowledge of each dass of stamps. Stamps are well illustrated by photographs, and some handles appear as profile drawings. Despite lacking Standard conventions for profiles, the drawings are useful. The indices include not only the expectable concordances and the names and devices on stamps but also lists of Rhodian potters and eponyms alphabetized from the front of the name and from the back of the name (helpful for reconstructing poorly preserved stamps). Presentation of the stamps is clearly the goal, and in this effort the authors certainly succeed. Readers may expect much more. The PK plays a central role in amphora chronologies and, in turn, Hellenistic pottery generally. Börker, however, does not provide a critical view of the role of the PK in these chronological debates. He loosely agrees with V. Grace that “around three decades ” (p. 6) is an appropriate length for Rhodian Period III (205-175 B. C.; cf. V. Grace -Petropoulakou / M.

  • Title Page Echoes of the Salpinx: the Trumpet in Ancient Greek Culture
    Title Page Echoes of the salpinx: the trumpet in ancient Greek culture. Carolyn Susan Bowyer. Royal Holloway, University of London. MPhil. 1 Declaration of Authorship I Carolyn Susan Bowyer hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Echoes of the salpinx : the trumpet in ancient Greek culture. Abstract The trumpet from the 5th century BC in ancient Greece, the salpinx, has been largely ignored in modern scholarship. My thesis begins with the origins and physical characteristics of the Greek trumpet, comparing trumpets from other ancient cultures. I then analyse the sounds made by the trumpet, and the emotions caused by these sounds, noting the growing sophistication of the language used by Greek authors. In particular, I highlight its distinctively Greek association with the human voice. I discuss the range of signals and instructions given by the trumpet on the battlefield, demonstrating a developing technical vocabulary in Greek historiography. In my final chapter, I examine the role of the trumpet in peacetime, playing its part in athletic competitions, sacrifice, ceremonies, entertainment and ritual. The thesis re-assesses and illustrates the significant and varied roles played by the trumpet in Greek culture. 3 Echoes of the salpinx : the trumpet in ancient Greek culture Title page page 1 Declaration of Authorship page 2 Abstract page 3 Table of Contents pages

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.
