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. -

Inscriptiones Graecae Et Latinae Bruttiorum a Digital Corpus in Epidoc of Roman Law Inscriptions
BILG - Inscriptiones Graecae et Latinae Bruttiorum A digital corpus in EpiDoc of Roman Law inscriptions Daria Spampinato, [email protected] ISTC-CNR Semantic Technology Lab, Catania, Italy The BILG project aims to provide an online EpiDoc TEI XML digital corpus of legal inscriptions found in Bruttium Italy. After the publication in 1883 of volume X of CIL in which Mommsen collected the inscriptions from Bruttium, several epigraphic texts of interest to Roman Law were discovered. These documents are little known, because they have never been digitized and are either unpublished or published only in local editions. The BILG project aims to fill this gap by making a corpus of Roman law tituli from Bruttium accompanied by appropriate epigraphic, archaeological and legal contents available online. We have created a BILG portal following W3C XHTML e CSS standards, under a Creative Commons license. The portal rests on eXist, an open source native XML database management in Java environment, which stores XML data accessed through XQuery.

Placed within previous discussions on the importance of the seas and other interactions in network and identity formation, this thesis seeks to contextualize and reveal the evolution of a distinctly local Tarentine identity. Whereas in previous works the importance of the “local” and its influence have been studied for the purpose of broader topics, the “local” city of Taras and its citizens are the primary focus of this research in an attempt to step away from the negative connotations associated with the city-state by the surviving ancient sources. The analysis of Taras’ early history reveals that the polis was founded in a region with a long history of pre-existing network connections, as well as a tendency to depend more heavily upon long distance connections with the Greek world. -

Dialogue Form in Greek Verse Inscriptions with Some Non
1. INTRODUCTION Dialogue epigrams are based on certain communication patterns that are formed by using certain elements of language. In this study, I discuss the linguistic features of these patterns and I provide a typology of dialogue epigrams as a framework for these analyses. I focus on the structure and language of the dialogue verse inscriptions, but I give non-inscribed1 parallels in order to discuss the development of the epigram genre. 1.1 Subject and structure of this study The core element of this study is the dialogue epigram typology that I created. The typology is based on the turn division and on aspects of this division. I have divided the material into three categories, and I discuss the typical features of each type. What kinds of turns form the dialogues? How are the turns marked? What kind of adjacency pairs do the turns form?2 How are these turns (a) linked together with and (b) separated from other pairs in multi-pair epigrams? These are some of the main points of this study. The typology also helps to combine verse inscriptions and non- inscribed epigrams, and to detect the development towards more narrative-based epigrams. This material offers valuable information on the ways to communicate certain facts on monuments, but also about the mutual influence of the monumental and the fictive texts. In order to make my analyses fully comprehensible, I proceed from the general to the specific. Firstly, I briefly discuss the history of epigrams and how dialogue epigrams are presented in this context (Section 1.2). -

Ross (Antigonid History). Illustrations by Jonny Hodgson, Paul Elliott, David Hamilton 2004 2 3 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION PART I ALEXANDER THE GREAT THE SUCCESSOR KINGDOMS DAILY LIFE CALENDAR PART II CREATING CHARACTERS GAME SYSTEM GODS, PHILOSOPHERS & MAGIC BUILDING A CAMPAIGN APPENDIX i - Names APPENDIX ii - References 3 4 INTRODUCTION “It is my belief that there was in those days no nation, no city, no individual beyond the reach of Alexander’s name; never in all the world was there another like him ...” Arrian, The Campaigns of Alexander Centaur, dryad, griffin, gorgon - creatures like these litter the pages of most fantasy roleplaying games. Creatures from Greek myth. Of course, there are plenty of other entries that would fit nicely into a Greek campaign with a suitable name change: giants, passion spirits and so on. The great pull of roleplaying the ancient Greeks, however, is not the 'fit' of many monsters or races, but the unique and atmospheric society of the day. Nodding horse-hair crests, long-shadowed spears, many-columned temples of marble, triremes surging across turquoise seas guided by painted eyes on the prow, phalanxes of grim hoplites, unconformist philosophers debating science under shady colonnades ... classical Greece. WARLORDS OF ALEXANDER is a fantasy setting for Chaosium Inc.'s Basic Roleplaying Game. A gamemaster need only have a copy of Call of Cthulhu, Stormbringer, or Elric! to play. -
