  • Alexander and the 'Defeat' of the Sogdianian Revolt
    Alexander the Great and the “Defeat” of the Sogdianian Revolt* Salvatore Vacante “A victory is twice itself when the achiever brings home full numbers” (W. Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing, Act I, Scene I) (i) At the beginning of 329,1 the flight of the satrap Bessus towards the northeastern borders of the former Persian Empire gave Alexander the Great the timely opportunity for the invasion of Sogdiana.2 This ancient region was located between the Oxus (present Amu-Darya) and Iaxartes (Syr-Darya) Rivers, where we now find the modern Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, bordering on the South with ancient Bactria (present Afghanistan). According to literary sources, the Macedonians rapidly occupied this large area with its “capital” Maracanda3 and also built, along the Iaxartes, the famous Alexandria Eschate, “the Farthermost.”4 However, during the same year, the Sogdianian nobles Spitamenes and Catanes5 were able to create a coalition of Sogdianians, Bactrians and Scythians, who created serious problems for Macedonian power in the region, forcing Alexander to return for the winter of 329/8 to the largest city of Bactria, Zariaspa-Bactra.6 The chiefs of the revolt were those who had *An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Conflict Archaeology Postgraduate Conference organized by the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology of the University of Glasgow on October 7th – 9th 2011. 1 Except where differently indicated, all the dates are BCE. 2 Arr. 3.28.10-29.6. 3 Arr. 3.30.6; Curt. 7.6.10: modern Samarkand.

  • Political History of Sophene
    chapter 3 Political History of Sophene 3.1 The Beginnings: Sophene and Kommagene under the Rule of the Orontids? According to Strabo Geog. 11.14.5., … Armenia, though a small country in earlier times, was enlarged by Artaxias and Zariadres, who formerly were generals of Antiochos the Great, but later, after his defeat, reigned as kings (one as king of Sophene, Amphissene, Odomantis, and certain other countries, and another as king of the country round Artaxata), and jointly enlarged their kingdoms by cutting off for themselves parts of the surrounding nations.…1 In reading Geog. 11.14.5, one can get the impression that for Strabo the politi- cal history of the Hellenistic kingdom of Sophene begins only with Zariadres, one of the two generals of Antiochos III, who became independent from the Seleucid monarch and assumed the title of the king of Sophene.2 It is evident that Strabo does not know of any predecessor of Zariadres in Sophene and apparently assumes that Sophene was under Seleucid control before.3 However, epigraphic evidence from Kommagene and Armenia, as well as numismatic data from the region (combined with a few enigmatic references in literary sources), may suggest that the history of the Hellenistic kingdom of Sophene is older. The most recent interpretation of this data has been put forward by M. Facella in her study of Kommagene.4 Let us briefly summarize the evidence and its interpretation. 1 The translation is that of H.L. Jones 1928, 324–325 with slight modifications of proper names. The main difference is the reading of Amphissene instead of Akisene, following Lasserre 1975, 123 and Radt 2004, 391.

This verse would best be included at the end of Daniel 10 not the beginning of Daniel 11. Obviously the "chapter breaks" are not inspired but added by men. Encouragement (02388) (chazaq) means to make firm or strong, to strengthen, to give strength, to encourage (frome n = in + coeur = the heart) (to fill with courage or strength of purpose). Protection (04581) (ma'oz) signifies a stronghold or fortress, a protected place, a place of safety.

  • Map 6 Asia Orientalis Compiled by M.U
    Map 6 Asia Orientalis Compiled by M.U. Erdosy, 1997 Introduction Map 6 embraces four distinct regions: central Asia and the Indus valley, which had lengthy contacts with the Greeks and Romans; and Tibet and Chinese Turkestan, which had practically none. The first two entered Western consciousness through the eastward expansion of the Achaemenid empire, which brought them into the orbit of Greek geographical knowledge, and won them prominence as the theaters of Alexander the Great’s eastern campaigns. Although colonization in the wake of Macedonian conquests was short-lived, classical influence on the arts and crafts of the area, if not its religious and political institutions, remained prominent for centuries. Moreover, even though the Parthians and Sasanians effectively severed overland links between central Asia and the Mediterranean world, the Alexander legend helped preserve geographical information for posterity (albeit frequently in a distorted form), even if little in the way of fresh data was added until Late Roman times. By contrast, areas to the north and east of the Himalayas remained in effect terra incognita until the nineteenth century, when the heart of Asia first received serious exploration by westerners, mostly as a by-product of the “Great Game.” Despite the impressive lists of toponyms and ethnonyms found in Ptolemy’s Geography and Ammianus Marcellinus, few cities and tribes can be localized with any certitude, since ancient geographers not only lacked first-hand knowledge of the area, but were also hampered by a defective image of the world, which was sure to produce serious distortions in peripheral regions. As a result, the eastern half of Map 6 is largely devoid of identifiable sites (although it contributes extensively to the list of unlocated toponyms and ethnonyms), while the western half is densely populated.

The desire of the Jews to maintain their na- tional and religious identity, when scattered among the nations, finds its actual expression in self organization, which has served to a ram- part against external influence. The dispersion of the people in modern times has become one of its unique characteristics. Things were different in classical period, and especially in the Hellenistic period, following the conquests of Alexander the Great, when disper- sion and segregational organization were by no means an exceptional phenomenon, as revealed by a close examination of the history of other nations.

The sites under investigation were in the eastern part of the Greek world, particularly Ai Khanoum, Takht-i-Sangin, Dilberdjin, and Kandahar. The reason behind syncretism was discussed in the introduction, which included the persistence of the ancient traditions in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Bactria even after being conquered by the Greeks.

  • Lesson 13 History in the Making
    FOCAL TEXT BACKGROUND Daniel 11:1-45 Revelation 19:11-21 lesson 13 History in the Making MAIN IDEA The Bible is a divinely inspired book. (Mark 13:31) QUESTION TO EXPLORE How should we react when we see prophe- cy being fulfilled in our lifetime? STUDY AIM To realize that I must share the Gospel with as many people as possible because Jesus is coming soon QUICK READ The details of this pre-written history in the first 35 verses have already been BIBLE 100% verified by history, so we can have STUDY full confidence knowing that the rest of GUIDE prophecy is history in the making. 129 130 FAITH UNDER FIRE: A STUDY OF DANIEL Introduction Daniel 11 is the most detailed prophecy of any passage in Scripture. Further- more, the first 35 verses were fulfilled in the time between Daniel and Jesus, which makes this chapter one of the most important in the Bible. If predic- tive prophecy was as perfectly fulfilled as this chapter is then it is obvious that there is a master of time (God) who precisely told Daniel of what was to come. Critics of the Bible have argued that it all must have been written down after the fact. Their best argument, for such a conclusion, is that it is just not possible for someone to predict it as accurately as it happened. That is a circu- lar argument, like if someone says they do not believe in Jesus’ divinity and thus He could not perform the miracles, and He could not perform the mir- acles because He was not divine.
