Selected from the overall pool of papers presented at the symposium, many of the subsequent articles were revised for publication, some of them substantially, as a result of the scholarly conversation in Montreal and beyond. The present volume thus comprises the research find- ings of individual authors as presented in their respective contributions. At the same time the collection speaks to the team effort and lively exchange among an international community of scholars. The initiative for ‘Money and Power’ came from two separate yet not unrelated observations. Roman republican scholarship has gained much in recent years from the study of high-powered forms of capital (Pierre Bourdieu). The symbolic capital of elite families in particular has been singled out by several scholars in their attempt to disclose the power relations between the senatorial elite and the common people. It has been noted by many that office holding and aristocratic status at Rome were not inheritable as such. Yet the social credit that was gen- erated from a family’s symbolic capital – loosely defined as the sum of all achievements accumulated by all family members in the past – almost guaran- teed its political success over generations. Such a reading of Roman politics has become extremely influential. The fascination with one form of capital, however, has led to a noticeable neglect of other registers in Bourdieu’s canon. After many years of vibrant research on social and symbolic capital, the editors felt that the time was ripe to return to ‘real’ capital and explore the intersection between economy and political culture. This desire was fueled by contemporary experience with the financial sector and its capacity to ignite and accelerate social crises. From the experience with the financial crash of 2008 to the smold- ering United States insolvency crisis to the eminent bankruptcy of Greece, it does not require a Marxist reading of politics and society to acknowledge that financial capital is not only a necessary engine of societal

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

January 2018 Thessaloniki - Greece Abstract This dissertation was written as part of the MA in Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Studies at the International Hellenic University. The aim of this dissertation is to collect as much information as possible on agricultural practices in Macedonia from prehistory to Roman times and examine them within their social and cultural context. Chapter 1 will offer a general introduction to the aims and methodology of this thesis. This chapter will also provide information on the geography, climate and natural resources of ancient Macedonia from prehistoric times. We will them continue with a concise social and cultural history of Macedonia from prehistory to the Roman conquest. This is important in order to achieve a good understanding of all these social and cultural processes that are directly or indirectly related with the exploitation of land and agriculture in Macedonia through time. In chapter 2, we are going to look briefly into the origins of agriculture in Macedonia and then explore the most important types of agricultural products (i.e.

  • Philip V and Perseus: the Twilight of Antigonid Macedonia Philip V of Macedonia Was a Shrewd and Effective Leader. He Proved Ev
    Philip V and Perseus: The Twilight of Antigonid Macedonia Philip V of Macedonia was a shrewd and effective leader. He proved even more adept than his predecessors at dealing with the Greek city-states, Illyrian invasions, and the other traditional concerns of his kingdom. Unfortunately for him, he was forced to deal with a completely new threat, for which he was unprepared—the rising power of Rome. Philip V and his son and successor Perseus failed in their conflicts with Rome, and ultimately allowed Macedonia to be conquered by the Romans. Since the wars they fought against Rome were recorded by Roman historians, they are known as the Macedonian Wars. Early Life and Reign of Philip V Philip V was the son of Demetrius II, who died in battle when Philip was nine years old. Since the army and nobility were hesitant to trust the kingdom to a child, they made Antigonas Doson regent, and then king. Antigonas honored Philip’s position, and when Antigonas died in 221 BC, Philip ascended smoothly to the throne at the age of seventeen. As the young king of Macedonia, Philip V was eager to prove his abilities. He defeated the Dardians in battle. When hostilities broke out between the two major leagues of Greek cities—the Achaean League and Aetolian League—he sided with Aratus and the Achaean League. Thanks to Philip’s intervention, the Achaeans achieved major victories against the Aetolians, and Aratus became one of Philip’s advisors. First Macedonian War (214–205 BC) In 219 BC, Demetrius of Pharos, the king of Illyria, fled to Philip’s court after being expelled by the Romans.

Bagnall laTe RoMan DaTa ColleCTion Modern attempts to quantify aspects of life in the ancient world tend to rely mainly on the collection or creation of data from documents or artifacts. We clas- sify and count, whether individuals in households or names or pots or shipwrecks. Most of the papers in this volume refer to investigations of this type, and so do most of my own past forays into quantification of social and economic phenom- ena. 1 on such studies is based the recent synthesis of the economic history of an- tiquity in The Cambridge Economic History of the Greco-Roman World. 2 This approach has been driven in large part by the fact that ancient authors do not tend to give us the kind of statistics we are accustomed to in the modern world and ar- dently desire for antiquity, but also by widespread and often well-founded distrust of most of the numbers preserved in ancient authors.

Put “Italy program” somewhere in the subject line. Course Description. This class entails an intensive study abroad program in southern Italy (including Pompeii) from May 13/14 – May 22, 2018. It offers a rich historical experience of southern Italy’s vibrant culture, from antiquity to the present, via personal encounters with the land, its people, and material history. This travel course will focus particularly on the ancient Roman road system, especially the “Queen of Roads,” Via Appia (Appian Way); we will visit major sites along its itinerary, starting with its easternmost terminus on the Adriatic Sea. Just as “all roads lead to Rome,” we will work our way northwest to the eternal city. This course is offered in conjunction with a follow-up class (HIST 3762: Biography of a City) based in Rome itself (May 23-June 2). Students will learn about the practicalities of ancient travel and roadways, the imperialist element of Roman road-building, and the great tradition of Roman civil engineering. The Bay of Naples component of the program provides unparalleled insight into daily life in ancient Italy that cannot be duplicated in Rome itself, with the Roman ruins around Mt. Vesuvius. The content will not be entirely ancient, however, since Italy offers the historically-minded student such a wonderful mixture of historical treasures from different eras, inextricably woven together.
