Map 54 Epirus-Acarnania Compiled by W.M Map 54 Epirus-Acarnania Compiled by W.M. Murray, 1994 Introduction The first systematic investigations of north-west Greece were carried out during the nineteenth century by Leake (1835), Heuzey (1860), Lolling (1989, for work done in 1876-77), Oberhummer (1887), Partsch (1887; 1889; 1890), and Woodhouse (1897). Progressing slowly over the mountainous terrain on foot, these men recorded in detail many observations that still remain our best evidence for numerous sites throughout the region. In recent years, still more has been learned from the work of Hammond (1967), Dakaris (1971; 1972), Cabanes (1976; 1985; 1986; 1987), TIB Nikopolis, Murray (1982), Bommeljé (1987), Pritchett (1994; SAGT 7-8) and others, who often retraced the steps of the early travelers in their search for additional details. Through the combined results of these investigations, a reasonably clear picture has emerged which forms the basis of the map. Generally speaking, the region covered includes many small settlements (both fortified and unfortified) whose ancient names will never be known. My goal has been to include as many of these sites as possible in order to reflect more accurately the distribution of population, and to reduce the apparent significance of those small settlements whosenamesdohappentobepreserved.Inordertoavoidovercrowdingthemap(andthusrenderingit unintellgible), I have selected those sites that possess one or more of the following characteristics: a fortification wall sufficient to enclose at least 0.1 hectare; building foundations appropriate for a small settlement; and tombs in sufficient numbers to represent the cemetery of a settlement rather than, say, one family’s grave enclosure. The region also includes a great many fortresses and towers (cf. Plutarch, Aratus 50.7). As many as possible of these are marked, although a number of small signal towers and small open sites are omitted for the sake of clarity in a few areas of dense habitation. Likewise omitted for the same reason are several small bridges recorded by Dakaris (1972, 186-87) in Thesprotia. Throughout, the goal has been to reflect the sites reported in the fundamental accounts by Hammond (1967), Dakaris (1971; 1972) and TIB Nikopolis for Epirus; by Oberhummer (1887), Murray (1982) and Pritchett (1994; SAGT 7-8) for Acarnania; and by Woodhouse (1897) and Bommeljé (1987) for Aetolia. Because no comparable account yet exists for the islands, it has not proved possible to be quite so rigorous there. Homeric toponyms are omitted unless they are attested as actual place names by later ancient writers. Thus Nerikos and Same are marked, but not Scherie, which is never referred to as an historical place. It has sometimes been difficult to locate sites mentioned by early travelers, either because the remains have since disappeared, or because the nineteenth century names have changed–even more than once. In the northern regions of the map, the sites are less well documented, detailed maps are less easy to obtain, and much of the scholarship appears only in inaccessible Albanian journals. It is common to have two or more sites associated with an ancient name, because in most areas the number of sites greatly exceeds the number of preserved names. Question marks reflect such uncertainties. Although the strings of settlements reaching inland from the coast reveal that the region was originally criss-crossed by a net of foot- and bridle-paths, these are omitted. An attempt has been made, however, to indicate certain significant routes that passed through the region. Since the evidence seldom reveals their exact course over a long distance, many stretches are marked as approximate only. For details, consult the journeys of the early travelers mentioned above, Cabanes (1976) Map 2, and the discussions of Hammond (1967, 690-700), Axiote (1980) and Pritchett (1994, 179-241). Representation of the changing positions of coastlines and coastal lakes calls for an equally conservative approach. Good evidence exists to show that some regions have experienced a relative rise in sea level of almost 11 ft since antiquity (Murray 1982, 460-62; 1988). This encroachment by the sea (partly due to land subsidence) is not uniform across the entire region. In addition, near the rivers it has been offset to an unknown degree by the 804 MAP 54 EPIRUS-ACARNANIA deposition of alluvial sediments. Although a clear picture of the ancient coastline, based on geological evidence, has yet to be published, I have attempted to follow such evidence as exists (such as for the Achelous delta). Where it does not, certain changes attested by ancient authors are at least reflected. Where it is impossible to establish the exact degree of change, the modern coastline is left unaltered, but the main areas likely to have been affected are rendered as swamp, following the example of Dakaris in his studies of Thesprotia and Kassopia. My earlier determination of the broad outlines of the coastline’s progression past Oiniadai toward the Oxeiai islands (Murray 1985) now calls for modification in the light of Freitag (1994), which convincingly exploits the literary testimonia to demonstrate a more complex situation. As a result, I have now drawn the mouth of the R. Achelous with the help of J.C. Kraft, who relies on a study of sediment cores made by Villas (1984). Moreover, in recognition of the doubts raised by Freitag, the coastal lake Melite appears only as an Unlocated Toponym.

  • AMBRACIA If You Are in Picturesque Arta, You Will Not Need to Travel to Visit Glorious Ambracia of Ancient Times
    AMBRACIA If you are in picturesque Arta, you will not need to travel to visit glorious Ambracia of ancient times. It is at your feet. Of course modern buildings hide a large part of its magnificence. The rest is sufficient however, as it is just as attractive and significant. King Pyrrhus of Epirus should have loved Ambracia, maybe because it was the most important Corinthian colony after Kerkyra (Corfu). He held the Corinthians in great regard for their commercial prowess and the economic policy of expansion they practiced. In 625 BC Corinthian colonials had followed Gorgon, the illegitimate son of the tyrant of Corinth Kypselos, and settled on FOLLOW A ROUTE TO HISTORY the banks of the River Arachthos, where beautiful Arta lies today. Their settlement was part of an intelligent plan conceived by the Kypselides to build colonies and commercial and naval posts in appropriate positions, in order to dominate the West by monopolizing trade, the driving force of the economy. This is why we will find them in Lefkada, Corfu, Epidamnus etc. Gorgos and the Corinthian colonials pushed out of the region the Dryopes, but retained the name of the place which, according to mythology, is attributed to Ambracus, son of Thesprotos or to Ambracia, daughter of Melaneas, King HELLENIC REPUBLIC of the Dryopes.

It was just good enough for Jupiter and his gigantic temple. For columns that were 18 metres high the architects needed no more than three drums each; they measured 2.2 metres in diameter. The tem- ple podium is constructed of colossal lime- stone blocks that fit precisely together. The upper layer of the podium, today called the "trilithon", was never completed. Weighing up to 1,000 tons, these blocks are the big- gest known megaliths in history.

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.

  • INTRODUCTION Prodigies Were a Standard Feature of Roman
    INTRODUCTION Apud Actium descendenti in aciem asellus cum asinario occurrit: homini Eutychus, bestiae Nicon erat nomen; utrisque simulacrum aeneum victor posuit in templo, in quod castrorum suorum locum vertit. At Actium as he was going down to begin the battle, he met an ass with his driver, the man having the name Eutychos [Lucky] and the beast that of Nikon [Victor]; and aft er the victory he set up bronze images of the two in the sacred enclosure into which he converted the site of his camp (Suet. Aug. 96.2).1 Prodigies were a standard feature of Roman historiography and the triumviral period was no exception. Th e setting of this story is the hill of Michalitsi just before the battle of Actium on 2nd September 31 BC, north of the future Nicopolis, where the statue of the donkey and the driver was erected on Octavian’s Victory Monument (Plut. Ant. 65.3). Together with rams from captured enemy ships the statue showed that Octavian was helped by the gods in his victory at Actium.2 Th e luck might refer to Apollo, who also had a statue on the monument, as he was the god that helped Octavian to victory. Octavian clearly thought it was important to spread the story of divine intervention at Actium. Th e legend of Actium was born. Historical analysis and the ideology of the regime of Octavian/ Augustus, not narrative, is the subject of this book. A re-evaluation of Augustus’ rise to power in 43–27 BC, fi rst as triumvir, and then as sole ruler, will be central to the analysis, focusing particularly on the part played by ideological claims.
