  • Unique Representation of a Mosaics Craftsman in a Roman Pavement from the Ancient Province Syria

    Unique Representation of a Mosaics Craftsman in a Roman Pavement from the Ancient Province Syria

    JMR 5, 2012 103-113 Unique Representation of a Mosaics Craftsman in a Roman Pavement from the Ancient Province Syria Luz NEIRA* The subject of this paper is the study of the figured representation of a mosaics-craftsman in a fragmentary pavement, preserved in the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. Of unknown provenance, apparently comes from the territory of ancient Syria in the Eastern Roman Empire. Such representation is a hapax, not only in the Roman mosaics of Syria, but also in the corpus of Roman Empire, since, although several mosaic inscriptions in some pavements, which show the name of the mosaic artisans and / or different names for different functions of the trades related to the development of mosaics, and even the reference to the workshop, who were teachers or members of his team of craftsmen, the figured representation of a mosaicist, in the instant to be doing his work, is truly unique. Keywords: mosaic, mosaics-craftsman, Syria, Eastern Roman Empire, Late Antiquity. When in 1998 I had the opportunity to visit the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, I could see between the collections of exposed mosaics a fragment with the figure of a man represented at the instant of having, hammer in hand, the tesserae of a mosaic. Years later, when tackling a study on the jobs of artists and artisans in the roman mosaics1, checked its absence in the bibliography, nevertheless extensive and prolix on the subject, and put me in contact with the director of the Classical Antiquities Department in the Danish Museum, Dr. John Lund, who, to my questions2 about the origin of the fragment, kindly answered me.
  • Baring the Female Shoulder in Ancient Greece

    Baring the Female Shoulder in Ancient Greece

    Baring the Female Shoulder in Ancient Greece Duchess Andromeda Lykaina∗ ∗[email protected], https://andromedaofsparta.wordpress.com/ 1 1 Introduction A version of a garment in which the wearer bares one shoulder existed in Ancient Greece without doubt, but it appears to be constructed quite differently than its modern interpretations. Further, it seems to have been used sparingly and in very specific circumstances for women. We are using the broad period of Ancient Greece here as our examples are drawn from the Archaic (800 BCE - 480 BCE), Classical (480 BCE - 323 BCE), and Hellenistic (323 BCE - 146 BCE) periods. While garments differed in subtle ways across these periods, there is enough cohesion to allow us to recognize the same garment in different centuries. We will argue that the appearance of the one-shouldered chiton indicated a sharp departure from standard female behavior in proper Greek society, and we have constructed an example that closely resembles a particular instance of the garment in period. Note that the nature of the garment in most of the scenarios in which it appears lends itself to being simple and functional. Our goal in constructing an example is to show an authentic construction rather than to create a fancy garment. The rest of this work is organized as follows: x2 will present an overview of common garments in Ancient Greece so that we might put the one-shouldered chiton in context; x3 presents what evidence we have found of its appearance on women in the literary and archeological record; and x4 will present an argument as to its construction and an explanation of the example we have constructed.

    Twinning Classics and A.I.: Building the new generation of ontology-based lexicographical tools and resources for Humanists on the Semantic Web Maria Papadopoulou1,2 and Christophe Roche1,2 1 University Savoie Mont-Blanc, France 2 Liaocheng University, China [email protected] Abstract. This Twin Talk is about the ongoing collaboration between an expert in Classics and an expert in Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). Our approach set out to answer two interlinked issues, ubiquitous in the study of material culture: first, pairing things to their names (designations) and, second, having access to multi- lingual digital resources that provide information on things and their designa- tions. Our chosen domain of application was ancient Greek dress, an iconic fea- ture of ancient Greek culture offering a privileged window into the Greek belief systems and societal values. Our goal was to place the Humanist/domain expert at the centre of the endeavour enabling her to build the formal domain ontology, without requiring the assistance of an ontology engineer. The role of A.I. was to provide automations that lower the cognitive load for users unfamiliar with knowledge modelling. Building the model consisted in distinguishing between concept level (i.e. the stable domain knowledge) and term level (i.e. the terms that name the concepts in different natural languages), putting these into relation (i.e. linking the terms in different languages to their denoted concepts), and providing complete and consistent definitions for concepts (in formal
