Ancient Greece from the Air RAYMOND V. SCHODER, S.J. (1916-1987) Classical Studies Department "Ancient Greece from the Air" Slides 931 slides Ace. No. 89-15 Computer Name: SCHODER.GRE 7 Meta I Slide Boxes Location: I8C In August 1962, August 1967, and June of 1968 Fr. Raymond V. Schader, S.J., photographed ancient Greek archeological sites from the air. Most of these photographs were taken through the open door of a DC3 plane piloted by and belonging to the Hellenic Air Force. Of these photographs 140 were published in Wings over Hcllas: Ancient Greece from the Air by Raymond V. Schader, S.J. (New York: Oxford University Press, 1974). 1 In the introduction to his work Fr. Schader explains the procedures employed in taking these photographs and the aim which motivated him: to present all important excavated sites of ancient Greece, both mainland and islands and from Minoan to Roman times, from this advantageous point of view as a new aid to archeology and to historical studies as well as to visitors to the sites .... Only ancient sites are included, though many medieval centres are also meaningful from the air and I have photographed them also. The photographic slides taken by Fr. Schoder during this project make up the bulk of the collection of slides listed below. Although ancient ruins arc the predominant subject of the slides, there are several slides depicting contemporary cities from above. Interesting to note arc the first three slides showing the technique which Fr. Schader used to photograph from the air. The slides arc maintained numerically in the order in which they were transferred to the Archives. Except for the first three slides, the arrangement is alphabetic by name of site. The slide identifications preserved below are those of Fr. Schoder. 1This same book was also printed in England as Ancient Greece from the Air (London: Thames and Hudson, 1974), in Germany as Das antike Griechenland aus der Luft, in Holland as La Grece antique vue du cicl: les sites archeologigues photographies d'avion, and in Belgium as Hellas in vogclvlucht: Het oude Grickcnland vanuit de Iucht gezien.

  • Gallery Text That Accompanies This Exhibition In
    Steeped in the classical training of an English gentleman, Edward Dodwell (1777/78– 1832) first traveled through Greece in 1801. He returned in 1805 in the company of an Italian artist, Simone Pomardi (1757–1830), and together they toured the country for fourteen months, drawing and documenting the landscape with exacting detail. They produced around a thousand illustrations, most of which are now in the collection of the Packard Humanities Institute in Los Altos, California. A selection from this rich archive is presented here for the first time in the United States. Dodwell and Pomardi frequently used a camera obscura, an optical device that made it easier to create accurate images. Beyond providing evidence for the appearance of monuments and vistas, their illustrations manifest the ideal of the picturesque that enraptured so many European travelers. The sight of ancient temples lying in ruin, or of the Greek people under Turkish rule as part of the Ottoman Empire, prompted meditation on the transience of human accomplishments. As Dodwell himself wrote: “When we contemplated the scene around us, and beheld the sites of ruined states, and kingdoms, and cities, which were once elevated to a high pitch of prosperity and renown, but which have now vanished like a dream . we could not but forcibly feel that nations perish as well as individuals.” Dodwell’s own words accompany the majority of images in this exhibition. His descriptions are drawn from his Classical and Topographical Tour through Greece, during the Years 1801, 1805, and 1806 (London, 1819). The author’s original spelling, capitalization, and punctuation have been retained.

  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

  • A Bronze Pail of Athena Alalkomenia
    A BRONZE PAIL OF ATHENA ALALKOMENIA (PLATES 31-34) T HE remarkable archaic Greek bronze vessel published here (P1. 31, a) was l.4 purchased in Mantinea in Arcadia in the spring of 1957 and donated to the Museum in Tegea where other antiquities from the same region have their abode. It had been found by a local shepherd some distance to the north of the ruins of Man- tinea but, unfortunately, the exact location of the discovery could not be ascertained.' The major part of the vessel is preserved, including about half of its upper profiled edge and one attachment for the handle which passed through its upper ring. The whole of this ring is still filled with iron and it is evident that the missing handle was made of this material. The carefully proportioned body has a height of 0.241 m. to the upper edge of the lip. Its largest diameter, 0.215 m., is slightly smaller than the total height and exactly the same both at the outer edge of the lip and at the greatest width of the body which, in turn, occurs precisely half way between that edge and the bottom of the vessel, 0.12 m. distant from both. The upper face of the lip inclines outward slightly to allow overspilling liquid to run off, as it were, from an architectural cornice. The proportion of diameter to height, the rounded bottom and the contraction of the width under the lip combine to give the impression of an elastic curvilinear rhythm to the generally ovoid form.

  • The Case of Chalkis
    Transactions of the American Philological Association 144 (2014) 263–306 Tax Exemption and Athenian Imperial Politics: The Case of Chalkis joshua d. sosin Duke University summary: This paper argues that the clause at IG I3 40.52–57, which refers to taxation of aliens at Chalkis and has long puzzled scholars, stipulated that any non-Chalkidian who had been granted immunity from Athenian tele, condi- tional on residence at Athens or not, should enjoy the same immunity from Chalkidian tele at Chalkis; that the inscription belongs to 424/3 b.c.e, when Athenian law and honorific practice were much concerned with taxation and immunities. Though long seen as fiscal punishment by a newly imperial Athens, the action was connected to later debates about local honors and domestic taxa- tion, and was rather mild. ig i3 40 preserves terms imposed by athens on chalkis, and on itself. the occasion is thought to be the aftermath of Euboian revolt in 446/5 or else Athenian action against the island in 424/3.1 This document is among our richest epigraphic witnesses to what it meant to be on the receiving end of Athenian imperialism. To understand the terms of this settlement is to il- luminate not only the “popularity” of the Athenian empire or the “language of Athenian imperialism”2 but also some measure of the legal, political, and 1 446/5: Thuc. 1.114; Diod.

    ARCHAIC ERETRIA This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance. Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West— its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread. We are shown how the strength of the navy conferred thalassocratic status on the city between 506 and 490 BC, and that the importance of its rowers (Eretria means ‘the rowing city’) probably explains the appearance of its democratic constitution. Walker dates this to the last decade of the sixth century; given the presence of Athenian political exiles there, this may well have provided a model for the later reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens. Eretria’s major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of the Ionian Revolt to 490, is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny of Diagoras (c. 538–509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources (most of which have previously been inaccessible to an English-speaking audience) is provided, creating a fascinating history and a valuable resource for the Greek historian. Keith Walker is a Research Associate in the Department of Classics, History and Religion at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia.

Sayles Dear Professor Reid; Thank you for this opportunity to comment as part of the forthcoming CPAC deliberations on renewal of the MOU with Italy. Because the State Department has Web site not responded to our request for a clarification of whether Italy has asked that coins be http://accg.us added to the MOU, we are proceeding with our comments as a precautionary measure. For the past decade, American collectors, independent numismatic scholars and representatives of the numismatic trade have argued before this committee the merits of unrestricted access to the worldwide market for coins from the ancient world. Every conceivable argument has been made, and remade. It would serve little purpose here for me to rehash all of those points. Instead, I will briefly summarize a few of the main points of concern to the constituency that the ACCG board of directors represents. Coins and similar utilitarian objects have changed ownership for centuries without any legal requirement for, nor interest in, recording that trail of ownership. Unless some direct evidence is available, it is literally impossible to determine whether any particular ancient coin manufactured in what is now Italy has exited Italy in modern times.

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.
