The pre- sent publication is a summary of the Fourth International Numismatic and Economic Conference, Pecunia Omnes Vincit, held at the Emeryk Hutten-Czapski Museum and Institute of Archaeology, Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, 12‒13 May 2017. The articles direct the reader’s attention to various issues involving aspects of nu- mismatics such as propaganda, coin finds, circulation of coins in certain territories, and forgery. Due to the broadening of the subject of the conference, the publication includes articles dealing with issues related to economics. The subject matter of this publication focuses mostly on aspects of antiquity, the mediaeval and new ages periods. The first group are articles about propaganda and iconographic motifs on coins. One of the articles on the depictions related to the victory in the Third Macedonian War, which took place in the years 171–168 BC. The author analyses both, historiographic and numismatic sources. Analogies are also noticeable in sculpture. The issue related to propaganda is taken up by another text referring to representations in colonial coinage struck during the reign of Claudius. Among local provincial centers, new Roman settle- ments were founded or settled on earlier cities, which, due to the demand, as well as the population, struck their own coins. These emissions had very specific representations referring to the Roman culture, hence their character suggests a process of romanization of the local population. The city could reproduce similar motifs or introduce new ones. The author of one of the texts touch the problem of the correct attribution of nine monetary issues struck in Bithynia and Pontus without the etnicon indicating mint. The article is attempt to identify individual coins, which mainly indicate the productions in Nicaea, Prusa and Amastris. Provincial coinage needs still intensive research. So far, general studies and catalogues have been published. More detailed analyses allow for a better understanding of the tradition and culture of the population of particular ter- ritories included in the Roman Empire. Another text concern Celtic coins, found in the area of the former Cisalpine Gaul between the fifth and the first century BC. The author focused primarily on the coin finds and deposits of Celtic coins on the territories of various European countries, thus 8 Pecunia Omnes Vincit giving a rich comparative background. In addition, the author undertakes to analyse possible reasons for the inflow of coins, and local differences. One of the issues raised in the article are ritual gifts. Coins did not only function economically, but perhaps their presence should be explained through commercial transactions. Another topic focusing on the monetary circulation is the article related to the coin finds of Sigismund of Lux- emburg and Vladislav Varnenchik in northern Bulgaria. The article presents not only the wide circulation of Polish coins during this period, but also highlights the economic and political contacts of both countries. The subject matter related to the metallurgy of the Wielbark Culture is taken up by another article, thus illustrating the rich culture and skills of the people living in western Poland. The author analyses the problem on the basis of archaeological sources from individual positions. Another subject of the articles are counterfeits, focusing on the activities of Claues Kreychel and Hans Krug, living in Latvia and Hungary in the sixteenth century. Coun- terfeits and workshops are being subjected to more and more frequent research by many different scientists. The first of the counterfeiters was copying Lithuanian units, the second Hungarian, providing them with a monogram. Both articles present historical background, types of coins and methods of falsification, detection of fraud and further living of both counterfeiters. The authors also paid attention to the finds and deposits of these forgeries. The last topic in the publication are debtors in medieval Krakow. Based on sociologi- cal and topographical studies reflected in written sources, the author undertakes a very important economic theme, which can thus depict various social relations, statuses, professions or wealth of individual people. The articles presented here constitute careful analysis of various numismatic aspects of the ancient, mediaeval and new ages periods. We are certain that these papers offer an opportunity to expand and supplement existing knowledge, as well as to draw attention to and to stimulate discussion on certain issues. We would like to express our gratitude to Dr hab. Jarosław Bodzek for academic mentoring, as well as to our reviewers, Dr hab. Márton Kálnoki-Gyöngyössy DSc, Dr Witold Garbaczewski Dr Kamil Kopij, Dr Kirylo Myzgin, Dr Michał Kasiński, Dr Bartosz Awianowicz and Michał Link-Lenczowski MA for substantive correction of individual papers. The Editors Carlo Lualdi Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore Milan, Italy [email protected] VICTORY, CELEBRATION AND MEMORY: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE THIRD MACEDONIAN WAR Abstract: Roman historical commemoration in figurative arts is an interesting subject of analysis. If we consider the iconographies of the Roman Republican Period, we only have a few examples of representations which can be related to a specific historical event. However, if we consider the figurative evidence in relation to the Third Macedonian war, we can observe two surviving iconographic schemes related to this conflict: the figurative models of the monu- ment of Lucius Aemilius Paullus at Delphi and the reverse type of the denar minted during 63 BC. by Lucius Aemilius Lepidus Paullus. Modern scholars consider the first example as related to Lucius Aemilius Paullus’ celebration of his military virtue while the second one is connected to the memory of Paullus’ triumph over Perseus held in Rome during 167 BC. Despite the fact that the two representations belong to a subject related to the outcome of the Third Macedo- nian war, a detailed comparison between the two iconographies has never been performed. This study aims to compare the two representations in order to better comprehend the Ro- man Republican figurative language related to military events. The present analysis allows also us to express some new observations about the different figurative and narrative models celebrating and commemorating Roman victories during the Roman Republican Period. Keywords: trophy, Delphi, Lucius Aemilius Paullus, Rome The ceremony of the Roman Republican triumph was an ephemeral commemoration of the military virtues of the triumphator and it was one of the most important public events for a Roman magistrate.1 Not surprisingly, Roman Republican triumphal art includes a wide range of representations, such as funerary iconographies,2 commemora- tive paintings,3 friezes,4 sculptures, public monuments, and numismatic iconographies.5 The depictions represented on the reverses of Roman Republican coin issues noticeably have an iconographical scheme related to the triumphal ceremony that includes the dis- 1 Kinnee 2016: 204. 2 Holliday 2002: 33–43. 3 Östenberg 2009: 189–199. 4 Holliday 2002: 43–48; Dillon and Welch 2006: 105–111; Cadario 2016: 19–21; Kinnee 2016: 205–206. 5 Kinnee 2016: 208–217. 10 Pecunia Omnes Vincit play of trophies

  • The Discovery of Inscriptions and the Legitimation of New Cults

Today, these inscriptions con- stitute elements essential to our understanding and knowledge of ancient society. On the one hand, the everyday, ordinary aspect of these texts gives us a less idealized picture of the classical world; on the other hand, the materiality of the medium makes distant antiquity more real, more accessible. The discovery of new epigraphic evidence is always exciting, and gives scholars an opportunity to display their skill in deciphering. In antiquity, finding and re-using inscriptions, whether genuine or forged, played an important role in shaping and understanding the world: then as today, the reinterpretation of ancient inscribed texts allowed a reconstruction of the past, which was then employed as a way to manage the present. Poets, historians, and antiquarians quoted and discussed inscriptions, in both Greek and Latin, with a whole range of motives.1 This paper examines the circumstances in which inscriptions were discovered both in pagan and Christian antiquity and focuses on the ways they were used in the legitimation of new cults. 1 See the contributions of Higbie 1999; Tronson 2000; Boardman 2002 (index sv ‘inscriptions’); Haake 2004; Zizza 2006; Pownall 2008.

  • Thales of Miletus Sources and Interpretations Miletli Thales Kaynaklar Ve Yorumlar
    Thales of Miletus Sources and Interpretations Miletli Thales Kaynaklar ve Yorumlar David Pierce October , Matematics Department Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University Istanbul http://mat.msgsu.edu.tr/~dpierce/ Preface Here are notes of what I have been able to find or figure out about Thales of Miletus. They may be useful for anybody interested in Thales. They are not an essay, though they may lead to one. I focus mainly on the ancient sources that we have, and on the mathematics of Thales. I began this work in preparation to give one of several - minute talks at the Thales Meeting (Thales Buluşması) at the ruins of Miletus, now Milet, September , . The talks were in Turkish; the audience were from the general popu- lation. I chose for my title “Thales as the originator of the concept of proof” (Kanıt kavramının öncüsü olarak Thales). An English draft is in an appendix. The Thales Meeting was arranged by the Tourism Research Society (Turizm Araştırmaları Derneği, TURAD) and the office of the mayor of Didim. Part of Aydın province, the district of Didim encompasses the ancient cities of Priene and Miletus, along with the temple of Didyma. The temple was linked to Miletus, and Herodotus refers to it under the name of the family of priests, the Branchidae. I first visited Priene, Didyma, and Miletus in , when teaching at the Nesin Mathematics Village in Şirince, Selçuk, İzmir. The district of Selçuk contains also the ruins of Eph- esus, home town of Heraclitus. In , I drafted my Miletus talk in the Math Village. Since then, I have edited and added to these notes.

    CHAPTER 38 THE GEOGRAPHY OF GALATIA Gal 1:2; Act 18:23; 1 Cor 16:1 Mark Wilson KEY POINTS • Galatia is both a region and a province in central Asia Minor. • The main cities of north Galatia were settled by the Gauls in the third cen- tury bc. • The main cities of south Galatia were founded by the Greeks starting in the third century bc. • Galatia became a Roman province in 25 bc, and the Romans established colonies in many of its cities. • Pamphylia was part of Galatia in Paul’s day, so Perga and Attalia were cities in south Galatia. GALATIA AS A REGION and their families who migrated from Galatia is located in a basin in north-cen- Thrace in 278 bc. They had been invited tral Asia Minor that is largely flat and by Nicomedes I of Bithynia to serve as treeless. Within it are the headwaters of mercenaries in his army. The Galatians the Sangarius River (mode rn Sakarya) were notorious for their destructive and the middle course of the Halys River forays, and in 241 bc the Pergamenes led (modern Kızılırmak). The capital of the by Attalus I defeated them at the battle Hittite Empire—Hattusha (modern of the Caicus.
