Universi^ Micixxilms International 300 N INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pa^(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

C X INTRODUCTION During most of the fourth century B.C., and some­ times in the third, the Athenians specified in their public decrees how much money was to be paid for inscribed stelai. The study of these prices for inscribing is intrinsically important for several reasons. First, the prices form a significant body of primary economic data. Close study of this group of inscriptions can provide us with important insights, especially when considered in conjunction with other economic data. Secondly, prices provide a unifying element by which a sizeable number of inscriptions on diverse topics may usefully be examined and

  • Penalties in Action in Classical Athens
    Classica Cracoviensia XVII, 2014 DOI: 10.12797/CC.17.2014.17.07 JAN KUCHARSKI (UNIVERSITY OF SILESIA, KATOWICE) peNALtieS iN ActiON iN cLASSicAL AtHeNS A preLiMiNArY SURVEY1 SUMMARY: This paper attempts to look at the inner workings of the punitive system in ancient Athens. After a brief survey of the range of penalties avail- able in Classical Athens (capital punishment, exile and outlawry, disenfran- chisement, financial penalties, imprisonment, corporal penalties), it proceeds first to examine their nature (as they frequently fail to meet our criteria of punishment), and then to map them on the substance vs. procedure controversy regarding the Athenian legal system. The last two sections of the paper are devoted to the manner in which penalties were imposed (summary punish- ment, punishment by sentence, “automatic” punishment) and executed (private vs. public execution of court verdicts; coercive measures etc.). KEYWORD: Athenian law, enslavement, corporal penalties, capital punish- ment, exile, outlawry, disenfranchisement, financial penalties Afraid of what? That I suffer what Meletus has assessed (timatai) for me? That, I can’t even say to know for a fact whether it is good or evil. Should I then choose an assessment from what I know to be an evil? As imprison- ment? What good is living in prison, forever a slave to the ever­‑present 1 This study is part of a project funded by the Polish National Science Centre (NN103 429640). 117 JAN KUCHARSKI command of the Eleven? Perhaps a fine then, with imprisonment until I pay? But it comes down to the same as before since I have no money from which I could pay.

  • Citations in Classics and Ancient History
    Citations in Classics and Ancient History The most common style in use in the field of Classical Studies is the author-date style, also known as Chicago 2, but MLA is also quite common and perfectly acceptable. Quick guides for each of MLA and Chicago 2 are readily available as PDF downloads. The Chicago Manual of Style Online offers a guide on their web-page: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html The Modern Language Association (MLA) does not, but many educational institutions post an MLA guide for free access. While a specific citation style should be followed carefully, none take into account the specific practices of Classical Studies. They are all (Chicago, MLA and others) perfectly suitable for citing most resources, but should not be followed for citing ancient Greek and Latin primary source material, including primary sources in translation. Citing Primary Sources: Every ancient text has its own unique system for locating content by numbers. For example, Homer's Iliad is divided into 24 Books (what we might now call chapters) and the lines of each Book are numbered from line 1. Herodotus' Histories is divided into nine Books and each of these Books is divided into Chapters and each chapter into line numbers. The purpose of such a system is that the Iliad, or any primary source, can be cited in any language and from any publication and always refer to the same passage. That is why we do not cite Herodotus page 66. Page 66 in what publication, in what edition? Very early in your textbook, Apodexis Historia, a passage from Herodotus is reproduced.

Anytus was the son of a self-made man who was highly praised in Plato’s Meno (90a): Anthemion, son of Diphilus, a thete who became a hippeus ([Aristot.] Ath. Pol. 7.4; Poll. 8.131) “through his own wisdom and effort” (Meno 90a). His demotic is virtually certain (Raubitschek 1949). If Anytus was in fact a lover of Alcibiades III (Pl. Ap. schol.), his date of birth should be earlier than 451, and nothing that is known about his career makes that early date implausible. If this datum falls away, however, as suggested in detail in APF, Anytus’ birth would be no later than 443, if he served on the Council in 413/2, and no later than ±440 in any case. Anytus inherited a successful tannery from his father (Xen. Apol. 29; Pl. Ap. schol.), but the comic playwrights reduced his occupation to one rather more common for slaves, “shoemaker” (Theo.; Arch.).

  • The Mysterious Expedition of Thrasybulus of Miletus
    Studia Antiqua et Archaeologica 23(2): 249–255 The mysterious expedition of Thrasybulus of Miletus Sergey M. ZHESTOKANOV1 Abstract. A cursory mention of a mysterious expedition against Sicyon, mounted by Thrasybulus, the tyrant of Miletus, can be found in Frontinus’ “Strategemata”. The author of the present article is of the opinion that in this way Thrasybulus was helping his ally Periander, the tyrant of Corinth. The probable aim of Periander’s military campaign was to reinstate the exiled Isodemus as tyrant of Sicyon and to include the Sicyonians’ territory in Corinth’ sphere of influence. Rezumat. O mențiune superficială a expediției misterioase împotriva cetății Sicyon, dusă de Thrasybulus, tiranul Miletului, este întâlnită în „Strategemata” lui Frontinus. Autorul acestui articol este de părere că în acest mod Thrasybulus îl ajuta pe aliatul său Periander, tiranul Corintului. Scopul probabil al campaniei militare a lui Periander era acela de a-l reinstala pe exilatul Isodemos ca tiran al Sicyon-ului și de a include cetatea în sfera de influență a Corintului. Keywords: Greece, Corinth, Sicyon, Archaic age, tyranny. In his treatise “Strategemata”, Sextus Julius Frontinus makes a reference to a rather mysterious expedition against Sicyon, led by Thrasybulus, the tyrant of Miletus in the 7th century BC: Thrasybulus, dux Milesiorum, ut portum Sicyoniorum occuparet, a terra subinde oppidanos temptavit et illo, quo lacessebantur, conversis hostibus classe in /ex/ spectata portum cepit. (Thrasybulus, leader of the Milesians, in his efforts to seize the harbour of the Sicyonians, made repeated attacks upon the inhabitants from the land side. Then, when the enemy directed their attention to the point where they were attacked, he suddenly seized the harbour with his fleet) (III, 9, 7).

  • Lysimachia Nummularia Moneywort
    Lysimachia nummularia L. Moneywort Other Common Names: Creeping Charlie, Creeping Jenny, Creeping Joan, Turkey Ivy, Loosestrife, Monnayère, Running Jenny, Strings-Of-Sovereigns, Wandering Charlie, Wandering Jenny. Family: Primulaceae. Cold Hardiness: Useful in USDA zones 4 (3) through 8 (9a). Foliage: Evergreen to semi-evergreen; opposite; simple; broadly ovate, cordate to orbicular; ½O to ¾O (1O) long; tips rounded to broadly acute; margins entire to slightly undulate; nearly glabrous except for sparse hairs long the midrib beneath; dotted with glands; somewhat succulent in texture; bases rounded to cordate; in summer the leaves are light green to yellow-green with no fall color occurring; petiole ¼O to ½O long. Flower: Small; ½O to ¾O in diameter; yellow with a cup-shaped five-lobed corolla; mostly solitary in the axils of leaves; mildly effective from mid-spring to summer. Fruit: Seldom produced; small capsules; not ornamental; deadheading is not needed. Stem / Bark: Stems — succulent; nearly oval to four-sided; sparsely hairy to nearly glabrous; red, green flushed red, to green; redder on those portions exposed to sun; Buds — foliose; tiny; initially hidden within the axis of the leaf and stem; green or flushed red; Bark — not applicable. Habit: Moneywort is a sprawling, 2O to 4O (6O) tall, evergreen to semi-evergreen herbaceous that roots at successive nodes where they contact the soil; spread is indefinite for group plantings, but 18O to 24O would be a good estimate for individual plants; although the leaves are not large the species is medium in overall texture. Cultural Requirements: In cooler climates plants can be grown in sun to moderate shade, but they benefit from partial shade in most of our region; the species is not drought tolerant and needs a steady supply of moisture to look presentable; plants are soil pH adaptable with best growth forming on high organic matter soils; the species is tolerant of less than perfect drainage, but is not tolerant of chronic salt exposure; growth rate is fast to moderate, depending upon the site conditions.
