The great changes that have taken place in Turkey within the last few years have rendered necessary a new Edition of the Handbook. Owing to the labour of revision it has been found impossible to complete the portion of the Handbook for Turkey in Asia relating to Anatolia and Mesopotamia so soon as was anticipated, and therefore the descriptions of Constantinople, Brusa, and Troy are now published in a separate volume for the convenience of a largely increasing number of travellers. The text has been rearranged and to a large extent rewritten. The map of modern Constantinople has been revised ; new maps of Ancient Constan tinople, the Bosporus, the Dardanelles, and the Plain of Troy have been prepared, and plans of some of the more interesting churches and mosques at Constantinople have been added. Special attention has been paid to the antiquities of Constan tinople ; Brusa and Nicasa are described fully for the first time ; and a description is given of the Anatolian Bailway as far as it has been opened for traffic. In the Introduction will be found a short sketch of the Osmanli Empire, which it is hoped will enable the traveller to understand some of the peculiarities connected with its organisation and administrative system. A new feature in the Handbook is the Index and Directory, which contains lists of hotels and tradespeople, sailings of ^steamers, tariffs of prices, and other necessary details. PKKFACE. Although the Editor has gone over the greater part of the ground in person, ho has taken great care to secure accuracy and practical utility by obtaining the assistance of friends who are either resident in the country, or have visited it during recent years. He is deeply indebted to his comrades, col leagues, and friends for the valuable aid they have afforded him, and he feels that without their assistance the work would have been impossible. The map of Ancient Constantinople has been prepared by Professor A. van Millingen, of Robert College, who has also contributed the description of the anticpaities of the city, and revised all that relates to it and to the Bosporus. Troy has been revised by Mr. Frank Calvert, United States Consul at the Dardanelles, and Brusa by Mr. A. Scholer, British Vice- Consul at that place. C. W. Wilson. December 2nd, 1892. The Handbook has been revised, and that portion relating to the Imperial Museum rewritten ; and the Editor has to express his thanks to the friends who have so readily afforded him assistance. To Professor van Millingen he is specially indebted for a revision of the Map of Ancient Constantinople, and of all that relates to the antiquities of the city. c. w. w. April 1900.

  • Graham Jones
    Ni{ i Vizantija XIV 629 Graham Jones SEEDS OF SANCTITY: CONSTANTINE’S CITY AND CIVIC HONOURING OF HIS MOTHER HELENA Of cities and citizens in the Byzantine world, Constantinople and its people stand preeminent. A recent remark that the latter ‘strove in everything to be worthy of the Mother of God, to Whom the city was dedicated by St Constantine the Great in 330’ follows a deeply embedded pious narrative in which state and church intertwine in the city’s foundation as well as its subse- quent fortunes. Sadly, it perpetuates a flawed reading of the emperor’s place in the political and religious landscape. For a more nuanced and considered view we have only to turn to Vasiliki Limberis’ masterly account of politico-religious civic transformation from the reign of Constantine to that of Justinian. In the concluding passage of Divine Heiress: The Virgin Mary and the Creation of Christianity, Limberis reaffirms that ‘Constantinople had no strong sectarian Christian tradition. Christianity was new to the city, and it was introduced at the behest of the emperor.’ Not only did the civic ceremonies of the imperial cult remain ‘an integral part of life in the city, breaking up the monotony of everyday existence’. Hecate, Athena, Demeter and Persephone, and Isis had also enjoyed strong presences in the city, some of their duties and functions merging into those of two protector deities, Tyche Constantinopolis, tutelary guardian of the city and its fortune, and Rhea, Mother of the Gods. These two continued to be ‘deeply ingrained in the religious cultural fabric of Byzantium..

  • The Chabrias Monument in the Athenian Agora
    THE CHABRIAS MONUMENT IN THE ATHENIAN AGORA (PLATES 11-12) JN Hesperia,IX, 1940, pp. 314-320, Eugene Schweigertpublished some fragments of an inscribed statue base (Agora I 994 and related stones) with a reconstruction and a brief commentary. Since that time other fragments have been found, one of which makes the original restoration impossible, and in the course of a consequent reexamination of all the pieces some new relationships have been established which dictate a new form for the monument (P1. 12).' Schweigert's publication included eleven fragments (A-K), to which can now be added the more recent discoveries as well as several fragments known earlier but not used in the original reconstruction. To avoid undue confusion the letters first used to designate fragments have been retained wherever possible, and the alphabetical series has been continued to include the additional pieces.2 Fragment A: three joining fragments preserving the inscribed face with three lines and part of a wreath and the original smooth-pickedtop; found April 21, 1936, in a modern wall over the southern part of the Late Roman Gymnasium complex (M 14). Height, 0.205 m.; width, 0.65 m.; thickness, 0.088 m.; height of letters, ca. 0.013 m. Inv. no. I 994 f. Fragment B: four joining fragments preserving a part of two finished faces, all with bits of wreath, no letters; small fragment from forward face found May 19, 1953, in a Turkish well west of the East Stoa (O 14); central fragment from left face found August 1, 1959, in a marble pile south of the Odeion (M 14); finding places of other fragments not recorded.

Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. 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. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site. In the afternoon we will drive to GREECE CRETE TURKEY Nafplion for check-in at hotel followed by dinner and overnight.

  • A New Cavernicolous Species of the Pseudoscorpion Genus Roncus L
    Int. J. Speleol. 5 (1973), pp. 127-134. A New Cavernicolous Species of the Pseudoscorpion Genus Roncus L. Koch, 1873 (Neobisiidae, Pseudoscorpiones) from the Balkan Peninsula by Bozidar P.M. CURtlC * The range of the pseudoscorpion subgenus Parablothrlls Beier 1928 (from the genus Roncus L. Koch 1873) extends over the northern Mediterranean, covering a vast zone from Catalonia on the west as far as Thrace on the east. The northern limit of distribution of these false scorpions is situated within the Dolomites and the Alps of Carinthia; the most southern locations of the subgenus were registered on the island of Crete. Eight species of Parablothrus are known to inhabit the Balkan Peninsula which represents an impo;:tant distribution centre of the subgenus (Beier 1963, Helversen 1969); of them, six were found in the Dinaric Karst. The caves of Carniola are thus populated by R. (F:) stussineri (Simon) 1881, and R. (P) anophthalmus (Ellingsen) 1910, R. (P.) cavernicola Beier 1928 and R. (P) vulcanius Beier 1939 are known from Herzegovina. The last species was also collected on some Dalmatian islands. Both Adriatic and Ionian islands are inhabited by two other members of Parablo- thrus, namely R. (P.) insularis Beier 1939 (which was found on the isle of Brae) and R. (P) corcyraeus Beier 1963, the latter living on Corfu. Except for the Dinaric elements of Parablothrus, the Balkan representatives of the subgenus have not been sufficiently studied. In spite of this, one may assume that the differentiation of cave living species of Roncus took place both east and north of the peninsula.

  • Plinio El Viejo
    PLINIO EL VIEJO HISTORIA NATURAL LIBROS III-VI Traducción: AA. VV. Las traducciones y notas han sido llevadas a cabo por Antonio Fontán (Libro III), Ignacio García Arribas (Libro IV), Encarnación del Barrio Sanz (Libro V), Mª Luisa Arribas Hernáez (Libro VI) Coordinadora: Ana Mª Morue Casas Asesores para la sección latina: José Javier Iso y José Luis Moralejo Revisión: Luis Alfonso Hernández Miguel y Francisco Manzanero Cano. Biblioteca Clásica Gredos - 250 TÍTULO original: Naturalis Historia Plinio el Viejo, 77 IR AL INDICE LIBRO III [*] Hasta aquí la situación y las maravillas de la tierra y de las aguas, así como las de los astros y el plan del universo y sus dimensiones. Ahora se han de enumerar sus partes. Aunque se piense que esto es también una empresa interminable y que no ha de tratarse a la ligera sin ser objeto de una cierta crítica, en ninguna clase de asuntos es más justa la indulgencia, salvo que se tenga por extraño que uno que ha nacido hombre no posea todos los conocimientos humanos. Por eso, no seguiré a ningún autor en particular, sino en cada sección al que considere más fiable, ya que ha sido común en casi todos explicar con mayor diligencia los lugares desde los que estaban escribiendo. No rechazaré, por tanto, ni criticaré a ninguno. Se pondrán los escuetos nombres de los lugares y con toda la brevedad que se me alcance, dejando su notoriedad y las causas de ella para las secciones correspondientes. Porque ahora mi discurso trata del universo entero. Por eso yo querría que se entienda que se enuncian los nombres como si no tuvieran fama, tal cual fueron al principio, antes de la historia, y que el resultado sea una especie de nomenclátor.
