  • Corinth in the First Century Ad: the Search for Another Class
    Tyndale Bulletin 52.1 (2001) 139-148. CORINTH IN THE FIRST CENTURY AD: THE SEARCH FOR ANOTHER CLASS Dirk Jongkind Summary A consideration of living spaces in ancient Corinth suggests that it is not possible to characterise its society as one made up merely of a very small number of élite alongside vast numbers of non-élite who were extremely poor. The variety of housing suggests the existence of another class. Introduction The city of Corinth had a glorious Hellenic past before its destruction by the Romans in 146 BC. Yet when it was refounded in 44 BC, it was not rebuilt as a Greek city, but as a Roman colony. Due to its economically strategic position near the Isthmus, the city prospered under Roman emperors. The apostle Paul wrote letters to the church of this city. According to some scholars (Theissen, Judge, Meeks), class-distinctions and social tensions within the church played a major role in the background against which Paul wrote. Though it is admitted that the Corinthians, like others, had ‘the poor always with them’, it is also argued from primary evidence that a portion of the Corinthian church belonged to the upper class. This view has recently received heavy criticism from Justin Meggitt, who in his comprehensive and lucid study Paul, Poverty, and Survival divides Roman society into essentially two groups: the élite and non-élite. The latter led a life just above starvation level: ‘In their experience of housing, as well as in their access to food and clothing, the Greco-Roman non-élite suffered a subsistence or near subsistence life.’1 According to Meggitt, this non-élite group 1 Justin J.

  • The Grave Goods of Roman Hierapolis
    THE GRAVE GOODS OF ROMAN HIERAPOLIS AN ANALYSIS OF THE FINDS FROM FOUR MULTIPLE BURIAL TOMBS Hallvard Indgjerd Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History University of Oslo This thesis is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts June 2014 The Grave Goods of Roman Hierapolis ABSTRACT The Hellenistic and Roman city of Hierapolis in Phrygia, South-Western Asia Minor, boasts one of the largest necropoleis known from the Roman world. While the grave monuments have seen long-lasting interest, few funerary contexts have been subject to excavation and publication. The present study analyses the artefact finds from four tombs, investigating the context of grave gifts and funerary practices with focus on the Roman imperial period. It considers to what extent the finds influence and reflect varying identities of Hierapolitan individuals over time. Combined, the tombs use cover more than 1500 years, paralleling the life-span of the city itself. Although the material is far too small to give a conclusive view of funerary assem- blages in Hierapolis, the attempted close study and contextual integration of the objects does yield some results with implications for further studies of funerary contexts on the site and in the wider region. The use of standard grave goods items, such as unguentaria, lamps and coins, is found to peak in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Clay unguentaria were used alongside glass ones more than a century longer than what is usually seen outside of Asia Minor, and this period saw the development of new forms, partially resembling Hellenistic types. Some burials did not include any grave gifts, and none were extraordinarily rich, pointing towards a standardised, minimalistic set of funerary objects.

  • Inscribed Silver Plate from Tomb Ii at Vergina 337
    hesperia yy (2008) INSCRIBED SILVER PLATE p*ges 335~358 FROM TOMB II AT VERGINA Chronological Implications ABSTRACT Five items of silver plate from tomb II at Vergina are inscribed with their ancient weights. The inscriptions, using the acrophonic and alphabetic systems, suggest that the pieces were made to a drachmaweight of ca. 4.2 g. This weight of drachmawas introducedto Macedoniaby Alexanderthe Great and does not appearto have been used by Philip II. The inscriptions on the silver add to the cumulative evidence provided by the cremated remains, black-gloss saltcellars,and iconographyof the lion-hunt frieze that tomb II was the final resting place not of Philip II, but of Philip III Arrhidaios and Adea Eurydike. The excavationsby Manolis Andronikosat Vergina,the likely site of Aigai, have providedsubstantial evidence for the burialsof membersof the Macedonianroyal family.1The wealth that has emergedfrom the excavationof tomb II, the so-calledTomb of Philip II that lay beneath the GreatTumulus at Vergina,has been awe-inspiring.The gold larnax, ivory-decoratedcouch, gold-decorated purple cloth, and silverplate point - - to the burialof an individualof high and surelyroyal statusin Mace- doniansociety.

  • Deadly CO2 Gases in the Plutonium of Hierapolis (Denizli, Turkey)
    Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences (2019) 11:1359–1371 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12520-018-0599-5 ORIGINAL PAPER Deadly CO2 gases in the Plutonium of Hierapolis (Denizli, Turkey) Hardy Pfanz1 & Galip Yüce2 & Ahmet H. Gulbay3 & Ali Gokgoz4 Received: 30 March 2016 /Accepted: 16 January 2018 /Published online: 12 February 2018 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Using a portable gas analyzer system, the geogenic gas regime below and around an ancient gate to hell at Hierapolis/Phrygia was characterized. The site was first described by Strabo and Plinius as a gate to the underworld. During centuries, it attracted even ancient tourists. In a grotto below the temple of Pluto, CO2 was found to be at deadly concentrations of up to 91%. Astonishingly, these vapors are still emitted in concentrations that nowadays kill insects, birds, and mammals. The concentrations of CO2 escaping from the mouth of the grotto to the outside atmosphere are still in the range of 4–53% CO2 depending on the height above ground level. They reach concentrations during the night that would easily kill even a human being within a minute. These emissions are thought to reflect the Hadean breath and/or the breath of the hellhound Kerberos guarding the entrance to hell. The origin of the geogenic CO2 is the still active seismic structure that crosses the old town of ancient Hierapolis as part of the Babadag fracture zone. Our measurements confirm the presence of geogenic CO2 in concentrations that explain ancient stories of killed bulls, rams, and songbirds during religious ceremonies.

    Chapter 7 – Ancient Corinth (the Bema – Judgment Seat) [Morning at the port of Pireaus, Greece] http://wigowsky.com/travels/GreeceRome/audios/corinth1.wma (audio file) We said good-bye to Yanni, our tour guide in Greece, and boarded the bus with the tour guide who would be with us the next two days. Voula Paraskevi had been a professional tour guide for many years. She was listed on the web site for tourist guides in Greece under her name: Kalapoda Paraskevi. http://tour-guide.gr/en/guides-profiles/guideprofile.aspx?id=1378 My name Voula in Greek means ‘spot’ (dot). It’s a short-cut from my longer name (Paraskevoula, meaning ‘little Paraskevi’). That was my grandmother’s name. I was born on a Friday (Gr. Paraskevi), so I was named in honor of that day and my grandmother. Our driver is called Lambros, and the name Lambros in Greek we call Easter. We also call it Lambrini, which means ‘bright, a new day.’ He’s a nice guy. We’re leaving Pireaus, the port of Athens, the largest port of the country. About 40% of the imports and exports of the country take place through this port. In ancient times there was also the ancient port of the city of Athens. On your way to the hotel (in Athens), you saw some of the beaches along the coast. The distance between Pireaus and the center of the city Athens is about 6 kilometers. In ancient times it was fortified. You can see some ancient stones by the terminal building; these were parts of the wall.

  • New Research in the Northern Necropolis of Hierapolis, Phrygia (Turkey)
    New research in the Northern necropolis of Hierapolis, Phrygia (Turkey) Anna Anguissola, Silvana Costa, Antonio Monticolo University of Pisa Italian Archaeological Mission at Hierapolis Since 1988, Hierapolis of Phrygia has been included in UNESCO’s list of mixed natural and cultural world heritage sites. Hierapolis is situated on a calcareous platform some 350 metres above sea level, on the western brink of the Anatolian plateau. It covers an area of ca. 65 ha and is surrounded by large cemeteries, built throughout the Hellenistic and imperial Roman periods. Some 600 monumental tombs with a remarkable variety of architectural types have been identified. Only a few of them have been either excavated or presented in scholarly publications. 1. The project This project (2017-2020) is the first coordinated effort to examine the funerary landscape of Hierapolis from a historical and social perspective. Our research focuses on the largest and the most complex of the cemeteries at Hierapolis, the northern Necropolis. Firstly, we aim to account for the general layout of the burial ground, as related to its topography, organizing principles, access and circulation, continuity and changes. Secondly, we wish to assess how individual monuments and sarcophagi contributed to the articulation of the funerary space by focusing on aspects such as material, techniques, visibility, use, and ownership of these objects. Thirdly, we integrate the study of funerary inscriptions as a means to gather information not only on specific persons, their status and lineage, but also on systems of belief, social symbols, memory, identity, social and political organization. 2. Area and funerary typologies We focus on the area between Tombs 156 and 162, including some 20 monuments and dozens of sarcophagi along the main road to Tripolis on the Meander.

This is particular­ ly true for the classical period wnere the sources are few and scattered. For the archaic period the situation has been somewhat better. One of the first attempts toward the study of Corinthian 1 history was made in 1876 by Ernst Curtius. This brief art­ icle had no pretensions to a thorough investigation of the subject, merely suggesting lines of inquiry and stressing the importance of numisihatic evidence. A contribution of 2 similar score was undertaken by Erich Wilisch in a brief discussion suggesting some of the problems and possible solutions. This was followed by a second brief discussion 3 by the same author.
