The Oktoberfest Alina Shevchenko & Adile Dzhaparova, Group 151 he Oktoberfest is the largest Bavar- Tian folk festival that takes place on the Theresienwiese in the center of Munich, Germany. It has been a major public event for over 200 years. The Oktoberfest tradition started on Oc- tober 12th, 1810 as a royal wedding of Ba- varian Prince Ludwig Ι to Saxon Princess Therese. The citizens of Munich were all invited to join in the five-day festivities on the meadows outside the city. The event in- cluded a horse race and was so much fun that Ludwig ordered to hold it annually. The next year an agricultural show was added, and in 1818 two swings and a carou- sel were set up. Eventually, the amusements included wheel barrow and sack races, mush eating contests, barrel rolling races, goose chases and tree climbing competitions. Me- chanical rides appeared in 1870 and in 1908 the festival boasted Germany’s first roller coaster. When the city began allowing beer on the fairgrounds, makeshift beer stands started springing up. They grew in number and were replaced by beer halls in 1896. The Oktoberfest was moved forward into September in 1872 because of weather con- siderations. In 1904 the festival was perma- nently rescheduled for the end of Septem- smaller celebration nearby. On October 5th est cake, Munich salad, and others. The idea ber but the name was preserved.

    Études et Travaux XXX (2017), 315–337 Medicinal Vessels from Tell Atrib (Egypt) A Ł, A P Abstract: This article off ers publication of seventeen miniature vessels discovered in Hellenistic strata of Athribis (modern Tell Atrib) during excavations carried out by Polish- -Egyptian Mission in the 1980s/1990s. The vessels, made of clay, faience and bronze, are mostly imports from various areas within the Mediterranean, including Sicily and Lycia, and more rarely – local imitations of imported forms. Two vessels carry stamps with Greek inscriptions, indicating that they were containers for lykion, a medicine extracted from the plant of the same name, highly esteemed in antiquity. The vessels may be connected with a healing activity practised within the Hellenistic bath complex.

  • A Comparative Study of Ancient Greek City Walls in North-Western Black Sea During the Classical and Hellenistic Times
    INTERNATIONAL HELLENIC UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES MA IN BLACK SEA CULTURAL STUDIES A comparative study of ancient Greek city walls in North-Western Black Sea during the Classical and Hellenistic times Thessaloniki, 2011 Supervisor’s name: Professor Akamatis Ioannis Student’s name: Fantsoudi Fotini Id number:2201100018 Abstract Greek presence in the North Western Black Sea Coast is a fact proven by literary texts, epigraphical data and extensive archaeological remains. The latter in particular are the most indicative for the presence of walls in the area and through their craftsmanship and techniques being used one can closely relate these defensive structures to the walls in Asia Minor and the Greek mainland. The area examined in this paper, lies from ancient Apollonia Pontica on the Bulgarian coast and clockwise to Kerch Peninsula.When establishing in these places, Greeks created emporeia which later on turned into powerful city states. However, in the early years of colonization no walls existed as Greeks were starting from zero and the construction of walls needed large funds. This seems to be one of the reasons for the absence of walls of the Archaic period to which lack comprehensive fieldwork must be added. This is also the reason why the Archaic period is not examined, but rather the Classical and Hellenistic until the Roman conquest. The aim of Greeks when situating the Black Sea was to permanently relocate and to become autonomous from their mother cities. In order to be so, colonizers had to create cities similar to their motherlands. More specifically, they had to build public buildings, among which walls in order to prevent themselves from the indigenous tribes lurking to chase away the strangers from their land.

  • The Chora of Nymphaion (6Th Century BC-6Th Century
    The Chora of Nymphaion (6th century BC-6th century AD) Viktor N. Zin’ko The exploration of the rural areas of the European Bosporos has gained in scope over the last decades. Earlier scholars focused on studying particular archaeological sites and an overall reconstruction of the rural territories of the Bosporan poleis as well as on a general understanding of the polis-chora relationship.1 These works did not aim at an in-depth study of the chora of any one particular city-state limited as they were to small-scale excavations of individual settlements. In 1989, the author launched a comprehensive research project on the chora of Nymphaion. A careful examination of archive materials and the results of the surveys revealed an extensive number of previously unknown archaeological sites. The limits of Nymphaion’s rural territory corresponded to natural bor- der-lines (gullies, steep slopes of ridges etc.) impassable to the Barbarian cav- alry. The region has better soils than the rest of the peninsula, namely dark chestnut černozems,2 and the average level of precipitation is 100 mm higher than in other areas.3 The core of the territory was represented by fertile lands, Fig. 1.

  • The Cities That Never Were. Failed Attempts at Colonization in the Black Sea
    The Cities that Never Were. Failed Attempts at Colonization in the Black Sea Jakob Munk Højte Introduction The title of this paper is taken from a book that appeared a few years ago, The Land That Never Was, about one of the most spectacular frauds in history.1 In the year 1823 a group of Scots set out to the small but supposedly well run Territory of Poyais on the Mosquito Coast, in what is now Honduras. Here they had bought or commissioned land from a certain Sir Gregor McGregor, Cazique of Poyais, who had made the venture credible by having produced a brochure and a 350-page guide to the prosperous town with its many profit- able plantations and blossoming commerce.2 Upon arrival after crossing the Atlantic during the winter, the new settlers found nothing there – absolutely nothing, except a few huts occupied by natives. Few of the unfortunate colo- nists survived the first year in their new home. There may have been similar attempts in Antiquity at overselling the idea of going away to the Black Sea to settle. What interests me here, however, is the fact that not all attempts at founding colonies ended in success, neither in the early 19th century nor in Antiquity. The initial settlers of a new colony almost always found themselves in a very precarious situation and many factors contributed to the viability of the new apoikia. This paper intends to explore how the Greek-barbarian relationship affected the outcome of the co- lonial encounter at a macro level; how, to my mind, they were an important element in determining the Greek settlement pattern in the Black Sea region and possibly vice versa: what the particular settlement patterns, we can ob- serve in the region, might reveal about the nature of these relations.

  • K Handmade Pottery
    K Handmade pottery Nadežda A. Gavriljuk For a long time it has been believed that those people belonging to the so-called “barbarian world” surrounding ancient Greek towns were the manufacturers and users of handmade pottery. Finds of recent years, however, allow us to propose that this statement is only partly correct. In order to establish a fresh approach to the study of the interrelations between the local and Greek populations of the ancient centres of the northern Black Sea littoral, it is necessary to analyse the archaeological materials from each of these centres. Only interdisciplinary studies of pottery assemblages in their entirety (handmade, wheelmade tableware, cookingware, containers) will enable us to arrive at grounded conclusions as to the use and production of each particular group of pottery, the ratio between the barbarian and Greek components in the material culture of the Greeks of the northern Black Sea region and the history of each Greek polis. The evidence from Olbia, an exemplary site for the study of antiquity in the northern Black Sea littoral, is, in this aspect, of special importance. research history The handmade pottery of Olbia was first considered as a separate find category by T.N. Knipovič.733 Simultaneously, an attempt was made to apply chemical and technological analyses to studies of Olbian pottery,734 and the hypothesis was proposed that a proportion of the handmade pottery belonged to the indigenous population. A differing view about the pottery assemblages of ancient sites was held by V.V. Lapin. Based on the study of handmade pottery from Berezan’ and its comparison with the evidence from other Greek sites including Olynthos, he proposed that the handmade pottery from Berezan’ belonged to the material culture of the Greek population.

  • What Did Ancient Greeks Mean by the ‘Cimmerian Bosporus’?
    doi: 10.2143/AWE.13.0.3038729 AWE 13 (2014) 29-48 WHAT DID ANCIENT GREEKS MEAN BY THE ‘CIMMERIAN BOSPORUS’? NATALIA GOUROVA Abstract The word ‘Bosporus’ in ‘Cimmerian Bosporus’ is usually perceived as the name for a unified state. However, this word was also used by ancient authors as a hydronym, for the strait between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov/Lake Maeotis and for denoting a specific territorial unit, as well as an alternate name for Panticapaeum. The use of Bosporus in written sources from the Archaic period to late antiquity followed a certain chronological sequence, which generally coincides with the periods of formation and transformation of the Bosporan state. Despite the interest of contemporary research in terminological interpretation and reinterpretation, we still take for granted some of the names used by ancient authors for denoting space and political entities. The meaning of these names, however, is not always clear, not only because of its possible multiplicity, but also because their meaning depends on the person who uses these names, on the specific circumstances of their use, on the historical context and the traditional vocabulary of the relevant period, as well as on their transformation over time. Moreover, the shift from the geographical meaning to the geopolitical one is often not easily identifiable. Additionally, as the interior structure of any political formation, with its different kinds of power, is also changeable through time, any reference to it requires a clarification with regards to the period in which each political entity existed. To provide a contemporary example: when talking about Russia, one can mean the Russian empire, or the Russian SFSR, part of the Soviet Union, or the contemporary Russian Federation.

H9X ICO CANADA Quaestiones Entomologicae 21:371.7-472 1985 ABSTRACT Knowledge of the animals that inhabit soil remained fragmentary and virtually restricted to a few conspicuous species until the latter part of the 19th Century, despite the publication, in 1549, of the first attempt at a thesis on the subject by Georg Bauer (Agricola). Even the writings of far-seeing naturalists, like White in 1789, and Darwin in 1840, did not arouse interest in the field. It was probably P.E. Midler in 1879, who first drew particular attention to the importance of invertebrate animals generally in humus formation. Darwin's book on earthworms, and the "formation of vegetable mould", published in 1881, and Drummond's suggestions, in 1887, regarding an analgous role for termites were landmarks, but, with the exception of a few workers, like Berlese and Diem at the turn of the century, little attention was paid to other animals in the soil, save incidentally to other investigations. Russell's famous Soil Conditions and Plant Growth could say little about the soil fauna other than earthworms.
