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. In the afternoon we will drive to GREECE CRETE TURKEY Nafplion for check-in at hotel followed by dinner and overnight. (B,D) MAY 28 - JUNE 22, 2021 June 1 Tue EPIDAURAUS - MYCENAE - NAFPLION Morning visit to Mycenae where we see the remains of the prehistoric citadel Parthenon, fortified with the Cyclopean Walls, the Lionesses’ Gate, the remains of the Athens Mycenaean Palace and the Tomb of King Agamemnon in which we will actually enter.

We came in the courfe of our voyage to Trapezus, a Greek city in a maritime fituation, a colony from Sinope, as we are in- formed by Xenophon, the celebrated Hiftorian. We furveyed the Euxine fea with the greater pleafure, as we viewed it from the lame fpot, whence both Xenophon and Yourfelf had formerly ob- ferved it. Two altars of rough Hone are ftill landing there ; but, from the coarfenefs of the materials, the letters infcribed upon them are indiftincliy engraven, and the Infcription itfelf is incor- rectly written, as is common among barbarous people. I deter- mined therefore to erect altars of marble, and to engrave the In- fcription in well marked and diftinct characters. Your Statue, which Hands there, has merit in the idea of the figure, and of the defign, as it reprefents You pointing towards the fea; but it bears no refemblance to the Original, and the execution is in other re- fpects but indifferent. Send therefore a Statue worthy to be called Yours, and of a fimilar delign to the one which is there at prefent, b as 2 ARYAN'S PERIPLUS as the fituation is well calculated for perpetuating, by thefe means, the memory of any illuftrious perfon.

  • Three Turano-European Species of the Temnothorax Interruptus Group (Hymeno­Ptera: Formicidae) Demonstrated by Quantitative Morphology
    Myrmecological News 26 101-119 Vienna, February 2018 Three Turano-European species of the Temnothorax interruptus group (Hymeno ptera: Formicidae) demonstrated by quantitative morphology Sándor Csősz, Sebastian SALATA & Lech BOROWIEC Abstract The ant genus Temnothorax is very diverse in the Palaearctic region. It consists of many cryptic species which are hard to discover with conventional toolkits of alpha taxonomy. However, the modern, quantitative morphological ap- proaches have been improved, and their increased accuracy and taxonomic specificity allow taxonomists to discover cryptic biological diversity on a much finer scale. In this paper, we provide quantitative morphology-based evidence in support of our contention that the Turano-European Temnothorax interruptus (SCHENCK, 1852) is, in fact, a complex of three clearly separable lineages. Species hypotheses are developed through NC-PART clustering, a highly automated protocol using two algorithms, NC-clustering and Partitioning Based on Recursive Thresholding (PART). Our results are based on a large dataset generated from 19 continuous morphometric traits measured on a total of 165 workers from 66 nest samples. Classifications returned by the exploratory analyses are confirmed by cross-validated Linear Discriminant Analysis (LOOCV-LDA) with a 0.6% error rate in 166 workers. Two known type series, Temnothorax interruptus (SCHENCK, 1852) and Leptothorax tuberum ssp. knipovitshi KARAVAIEV, 1916, which meet the criteria for this species complex, are nested in the same cluster, and each classification is supported with posterior p = 1.0. Therefore, Leptothorax tuberum ssp. knipovitshi is considered a junior synonym of T. interruptus. The two other morphological clusters are described as T. morea sp.n. and T.

We are anxious to give to the civilised world a real picture of the ills which the Turks have inflicted upon a small and noble nation whose fate and mission ever since the ancient times has been to fight for its independence moral and political and suffer for freedom and civilisation. In this pamphlet we have published official statistics drawn from the archives of the Oeucumenical Patriarchate, and reports describing the crimes committed by the Turks against the Christians of the region of Pontus. Since the year 19 14 the Ottoman Government, on the lines of a plan organised and premeditated has caused more than I.500.000 Greeks and Armenians of Asia Minor to be massacred by its local agents.

  • Map 87 Pontus-Phasis Compiled by David Braund and T
    Map 87 Pontus-Phasis Compiled by David Braund and T. Sinclair (Turkey), 1997 with the assistance of Diane Braund Introduction Pontus The land of Pontus has two main parts, both of which belonged to the Mithridatic kingdom of Pontus in the Hellenistic period. The first is the main ridge of the Pontic mountains and the steep descent to the shore. The lower slopes are thickly wooded, and the shore districts have a humid and rainy climate. In the main Pontic ridge a gap occurs in the hinterland of Amisus (modern Samsun), after which the mountain chain continues at a lower height and with less abrupt slopes (Strabo’s term Paryadres seems to denote the higher part of the chain). As far east as Rhizaion (Rize) Greek settlements along the coast have existed since the sixth century B.C., and in the case of Sinope the seventh. To the south, the Pontic chain is bordered by Armenia Minor, a part of Armenia itself (Late Antique Sper, probably the Syspiritis of the classical authors), and what was to become the Georgian mountainous district of Tao, drained by the R. Glaukos (Oltu Çay) and the Tortum Çay. The district of Chaldia, the Gümüşhane basin, is difficult to classify, particularly in classical times, as there is no evidence that it belonged either to Pontus (in a geographical or administrative sense), to Armenia Minor, or to Armenia itself. The Roman empire made no effort to control the interior of Chaldia until the reign of Justinian. The second part of Pontus is the series of fertile inland plains, joined by relatively low chains of hills, in the river systems of the Iris (Kızıl Irmak) and the lower Halys (Yeşil Irmak).

  • ROMAN PHRYGIA: Cities and Their Coinage
    ROMAN PHRYGIA: Cities and their Coinage Andrea June Armstrong, PhD, University College London. Abstract of Thesis Roman Phrygia: Cities and their Coinage The principal focus of this thesis is the Upper Maeander Valley in Phrygia, which is now part of modern Turkey, and in particular three cities situated in that region, namely Laodicea, Hierapolis and Colossae. The main source used is the coinage produced by these cities with the aim of determining how they viewed their place within the Roman Empire and how they reacted to the realities of Roman rule. Inscriptional, architectural and narrative sources are also used as well as comparative material from other Phrygian and Asian cities. In order to achieve its aim, the thesis is divided into two parts. Part One details the history of Laodicea, Hierapolis and Colossae and explains the coinage system in use within the province of Asia on a regional and a civic level. The final chapter in the first part of the thesis introduces the theme of the interaction between city, region and empire which is developed more fully in Part Two. Part Two discusses the types used on the coins of the cities of the Upper Maeander Valley in the context of the cultural and religious circumstances of Rome and also in reaction to the organisational and political changes affecting the province of Asia as well as the Empire as a whole. The main conclusions of the thesis are that the cities of Laodicea, Hierapolis and Colossae were very aware of Rome and of their own status, as well as that of their province, within the Roman Empire especially in the context of ongoing circumstances and developments within the Empire.
