Chandrasekaran, Sujatha. "The Western Caucasus : imported armour in the Hellenistic period." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.571626.
Full textAbstract:
The region of the Western Caucasus comprises the territories along the north-eastern and eastern Black Sea coast - the Bosporan Kingdom, Colchis and the foothills and mountains of the Caucasus as they spread between the two states. The area was keenly affected by the ancient Greeks through colonization and trade from the 7th_6th centuries BC on. These connections have yielded a rich wealth in finds of Greek type, for example pottery, jewellery, and weaponry. The latter is particularly interesting, as it comprises a wealth of Greek style helmets and greaves. All Greek-style armour finds stem from burials, most of which can be dated to the 4th_2nd century BC. The Greek-style helmet and greave finds from the Western Caucasus are particularly important for the study of Greek armour as a whole, the bulk of which comes from votive contexts in Greece (Olympia). However, none of these finds can be dated later than the mid s" century BC. The Western Caucasus, however, is home to the highest concentration of Greek-style armour finds (particularly helmets) in the Hellenistic period, and as such are extremely useful in expanding upon existent typologies - which end with the Classical period, as well as examining the distribution and evident popularity of Greek armour outside Greece proper. The thesis begins by analyzing each individual region in terms of its interaction with the Greek world - colonization and trade contacts. This provides the necessary background for the analytical section, which looks at the defining characteristics of the individual greave and helmet types in order to answer questions of provenance and identify individual workshops. Particularly interesting is the heavy concentration and widespread distribution of the Chalcidian type helmet in the Caucasus foothills, which goes far to answer many questions about the key role played by the Caucasus tribes in the economy and political stability of the Western Caucasus as a whole.

Moss, Kelly Ann, and Kelly Ann Moss. "The Development and Diffusion of the Cult of Isis in the Hellenistic Period." Thesis, The University of Arizona, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/624095.
Full textAbstract:
During the 4th century BCE and the Hellenistic period (323 – 31 BCE), the cult of Isis increasingly appeared outside of Egypt throughout the Greek world. The widespread diffusion of her cult at this time occurred due to Alexander III of Macedon’s conquest of the Achaemenid Empire. His conquest of the eastern Mediterranean and Egypt led to the reorganization of the Greek world politically and economically. This reorganization influenced the religious atmosphere of the 4th century BCE and subsequent centuries for Greeks. Popular cults, like the mysteries of Demeter and Dionysus, often focused on the afterlife and individuals more than poleis. Isis fit the new religious atmosphere since she was a universal goddess with ties to the afterlife and daily life.
Under the Ptolemies, Isis became syncretized with Greek deities, such as Aphrodite and Demeter, which resulted in the increased likelihood of the reception of Isis's cult in Greek cities. Her Alexandrian cult emphasized sailing and healing through her connections with the Pharos and the healing cult of Serapis, her consort in the Ptolemaic Egyptian pantheon. Through a case study of sites with shrines dedicated to Isis in the Greek world, including Athens, Corinth, and Delos, it is evident that these sites had political and economic ties to Egypt and that her cult was often adapted at these sites based on the needs of the people at that location.
Previous scholarship regarding the cult of Isis has emphasized her role in Egypt during the Pharaonic period or her reception among the Greeks and Romans from the 3rd century BCE to the 4th century CE. There is little literature that emphasizes Isis's reception during the 4th century BCE and early Ptolemaic period when her cult was first appearing at Greek sites or that discusses the relationship between Isis’s cult and the political and economic factors of the Hellenistic period. This thesis attempts to examine the development of the cult of Isis in Egypt in order to trace the Hellenistic religious domain of Isis back to the potential origins during the Pharaonic and Macedonian periods in Egypt.
I argue that Isis's role as a protectress and establishment in Alexandria as a deity associated with sailors and navigation led to Isis’s reception in Greece first in ports, such as Piraeus, Corinth, and Delos. Furthermore, while sailing was important to the spread and reception of her cult during a period with increased economic activity, Isis gained popularity at these sites due to her vast patronages that increased the likelihood of her appeal to a variety of people and sites. The adaptability of her cult led to the widespread diffusion during the Hellenistic age, and the endurance of her cult into the Roman period. Her role as a seafaring protectress starting from the 4th century BCE indicates that there was a focus on economics and travel that resulted in a preoccupation with fortune and safety. Isis was a natural fit, as a protectress deity, for the religious landscape of the Hellenistic zeitgeist.

Full textAbstract:
Galatians who entered into Anatolia in about 280 B.C., in order to help the Bithynian king Nicomedes I against his brother Zipoetas, had a significant role in the history of the ancient Asia Minor. Archaeological material that were recovered from different sites such as Gordion, Pessinus and Tavion and fort settlements mostly dating to the late Hellenistic Period are the most important sources that provide information on their presence in Galatia region named after them.
The main purpose of this thesis is to bring together all the archaeological, historical and epigraphical data to present in a coherent way and examine the fort settlements around Ancyra attributed to the Galatians. It both aims to understand the Galatians archaeologically and also by applying new methods such as Visibility Analysis through GIS studies, it hopes to materialize some of the assumptions regarding settlement systems.
In order to achieve these, after a thorough presentation of the archaeological and historical data, the forts surveyed around Ancyra are described individually and then studied as a system with the help of Visibility Analysis. The thesis also confirms the presumed relationship between the location of the forts and the topography as well as identifying criteria for choice of location for ancient settlements.

Baesens, Viviane Françoise. "The economy of the Temple of Jerusalem and its clergy in the Hellenistic period." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2005. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/265469.
Full textAbstract:
The Temple of Jerusalem was a very stable and traditional institution from the economic point of view during the whole of the so-called Second Temple period. The clergy with its strict hierarchy was the prominent class in Jewish society. Although the Temple apparently possessed no estates extensive enough to keep its personnel, as other Graeco-Roman sanctuaries did, it had a great economic impact on Jewish life. It exacted significant taxes from its worshippers, both for the needs of the cult and those of the building with its appurtenances, and for the support of its clergy, the only temple to do so in the Hellenistic period. The revenues from the main Temple-tax proper, the 8{8pax?ov or half-shekel, were enormous, especially in the last decades of the Hellenistic pe1iod, thanks to the great contribution from the Diaspora. They were complemented by numerous donations and votive-offerings. Private individuals also stored their fortunes in the sanctuary. The Temple incomes far exceeded its various expenditures, so that the Temple treasure was very large and consequently fell victim to the plundering of many foreign rulers and officers throughout time. The missing funds and objects were always speedily replaced thanks to the strong attachment of the Jews to their sole national sanctuary. Specific dues, both flat rates and proportional, in kind and money, were also handed over to the priests and Levites, the highest of which was a straight 10% of all crops, the so-called 'first tithe'. Although not unbearable on its own, perhaps around 26% of the value of an average peasant's crops in total, the whole religious tribute was a heavy burden when added to the very oppressive royal taxation of the Macedonian kings which was taking a minimum of 40% of the crops, plus a tribute and a multiplicity of other low-level taxes, out of a province which was not as fertile as Egypt or Mesopotamia, leaving the peasants with approximately 30% of their crops after payment of both systems. Under the Hasmonean rulers, however, it is likely that both taxation systems fell to a more tolerable level. The Temple, being a paramount customer for all kinds of goods, boosted both the internal and the international trade of the province of Judaea. The Judaean trade, especially that of Jerusalem, was also greatly boosted by the Temple three-yearly mass pilgrimage from the Judaeans and perhaps from Herod onwards also from the Diaspora, and by the religious obligation to spend the 'second tithe' in Jerusalem.

Full textAbstract:
The present study deals with the socio-political transformations in the city of Ephesos in the early Hellenistic period. It shows that during the tumultuous months after the death of Alexander the Great, the Ephesian community sought to re-establish internal and regional stability by appealing to the Macedonian Successors for support. This was achieved at the meeting of Ephesos in the summer of 322 BC, as attested by a detailed epigraphic study of a series of local inscriptions (I. Ephes. 1430-1437). The meeting addressed issues over Ionian democracy and privileges, as well as Macedonian hegemonia, in conformity with the precedents set by Alexander. Its successful conclusion saw Ephesos emerge as the leading and representative member of the Ionian koinon.La présente étude a comme sujet les transformations sociopolitiques dans la cite d'Ephesos dans la haute période hellénistique. Elle montre que pendant les mois tumultueux après la mort d'Alexandre le Grand, la communauté d'Éphèse a cherché à rétablir la stabilité interne et régionale en appelant aux Successeurs Macédoniens. Ce but a été atteint lors de la réunion a Ephese pendant l'été de 322 av-JC, comme il est atteste par un étude épigraphique détaillé d'une une série des inscriptions locales (I. Ephes. 1430-1437). La réunion a abordé des questions concernant la démocratie et privilèges Ioniennes, aussi que la hegemonia Macédonienne, en conformité avec les précédents mis pas Alexandre. Son succès a vu émerger Ephese en tant que membre dirigeant et représentant du koinon Ionienne.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the use of the past as a medium for the articulation of claims of present political power during the early Hellenistic period. The Hellenistic period marks an era of major changes both in the political and geographical landscapes. The polis, which remains the centre of political life, struggles between autonomy and dependence among the emerging political formations (Kingdoms and Koina). In the fluid political environment, the past presents an excellent opportunity: it can be used as a (re)confirmation of a certain identity, be it civic or collective, or can help to construct a new one. In either way, its potential is enormous. In the contemporary world, the connection between the use of the past and politics has been confirmed. However, this relationship was also clearly realised in the ancient world. Due to the workings of memory, the past has a central role in the political life of communities; memory and the use of the past are social and cultural forces, effectively altering the modes of representation and contemporary worldviews. And vice versa, any political decisions are seen in the light of civic or communal traditions – the cultural memory of each society. In the cases of Athens and Sparta, the opposition between contemporary realities and cultural memory is prolific and leads to unprecedented acts. In the absence of such a glorious past, the prolific historian Polybios constructs one for the Achaian League. Samos and Priene, without such hegemonic traditions but with a strong local presence, use the past for direct benefits. The examination of the data allows us to draw some conclusions concerning the agents behind the active manipulation of the past. Within a civic context, the potential of the past and its uses are largely understood by an active and ambitious elite with personal and state expediencies. The extent of their success partly depends on the realisation of the power they held.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis treats of the use and meaning of the Greek concept of eleutheria (freedom) and the cognate term autonomia (autonomy) in the early Hellenistic Period (c.337-262 BC) with a specific focus on the role these concepts played in the creation and formalisation of a working relationship between city and king. It consists of six chapters divided equally into three parts with each part exploring one of the three major research questions of this thesis. Part One, Narratives, treats of the continuities and changes within the use and understanding of eleutheria and autonomia from the 5th to the 3rd centuries. Part Two, Analysis, focuses on the use in action of both terms and the role they played in structuring and defining the relationship between city and king. Part Three, Themes, explores the importance of commemoration and memorialisation within the early Hellenistic city, particularly the connection of eleutheria with democratic ideology and the afterlife of the Persian Wars. Underpinning each of these three sections is the argument that eleutheria played numerous, diverse roles within the relationship between city and king. In particular, emphasis is continually placed variously on its lack of definition, inherent ambiguity, and the malleability of its use in action. Chapter one opens with the discovery of eleutheria during the Persian Wars and traces its development in the 5th and early 4th centuries, arguing in particular for a increasing synonymity between eleutheria and autonomia. Chapter two provides a narrative focused on the use and understanding of eleutheria in the years 337-262. It emphasises continuity rather than change in the use of eleutheria and provides a foundation for the subsequent analytical and thematic chapters. Chapter three analyses eleutheria itself. It emphasises the inherent fluidity of the term and argues that it eschewed definition and was adaptable to and compatible with many forms of royal control. Chapter four looks at the role of eleutheria within the relationship between city and king. It elaborates a distinction between Primary and Secondary freedom (freedom as a right or freedom as a gift) and treats of eleutheria as a point of either unity or discord within a city‘s relationship with a king. Chapter five explores the connection between freedom and democracy and looks at how the past was used to create and enforce a democratic present, specifically in constructing both Alexander‘s nachleben as either a tyrant or liberator and the validity of Athenian democratic ideology in the 3rd century. Chapter six concludes the thesis by returning to the Persian Wars. It analyses the use of the Wars as a conceptual prototype for later struggles, both by kings and by cities. Exploring the theme of the lieu de mémoire, it also outlines the significance of sites like Corinth and Plataia for personifying the historical memory of eleutheria.

Full textAbstract:
In many ways the Hellenistic period has been the poor relation as far as military studies have been'concerned. Even quite comprehensive works on ancient warfare deal with this period in a relatively cursory manner, scholars concentrating on hoplite warfare or Roman military systems to the detriment of the Hellenistic period. To make matters worse, a historiographical tradition exists which places the generals and armies of the period firmly in the shadow of Alexander the Great. Hellenistic warfare has therefore been seen as unimaginative and stereotypical, dominated by armies which used cumbersome and outmoded tactics, and which were led by generals outstanding only in their mediocrity. This thesis is an attempt to redress the balance. I have sought to form a detailed picture of the Hellenistic military machine from the ancient sources and to test modem theories about its operation. The format of the thesis reflects these objectives. As my research progressed it soon became apparent that Hellenistic armies were not the cumbersome devices portrayed in many modem works and that they were composed of a series of interlocking tactical systems that could be viewed on a series of levels, the highest being the army itself.

Full textAbstract:
Several previously overlooked questions related to ancient Greek dedicatory practices are investigated in this thesis. The main questions addressed are: how do the contexts of Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic votive miniature vessels inform us about the Greek cults in which they are used, and the transmission of such cults? What role did miniaturisation play in the sanctuaries and the rituals in ancient Greek society, and why miniaturisation? A number of supplementary questions accompany the main questions, for example, what did miniaturisation mean in the context of votive dedications in sanctuaries? This thesis aims to demonstrate that earlier explanations arguing that miniatures are simply and profoundly cheap substitutes for more expensive objects do not work well, since many of these small objects are carefully made and some are elaborately decorated, and would thus not have been cheaper, or less time consuming to produce compared to full sized objects. The chronological time frame of the thesis is limited to the Archaic to the Hellenistic period, and its core is three case studies with different themes and different geographical locations in focus (Kalydon, Olympia, Kombothekra, various sites in South Italy, and other sites for comparison). The thesis addresses also issues relating to, for instance, miniaturisation, imitation and models, the functionality, and non- functionality of small votive objects, agency, trade, and colonization. The study of ancient Greek dedicatory practices within the scholarship of Classical Studies tends to concentrate on votive statues, religious architecture, inscribed metal dedications, and stelai. Little attention has been paid to less extravagant dedications even though these groups of material have been found in abundant amounts in sanctuaries throughout Greece. Moreover, in those cases where this material has been published interpretation and thoroughly analyses are often lacking. As a result, this study makes important contributions to two large questions within Classical studies: how did the Greeks view their gods and how did the Greeks interact with the gods. Miniature pottery contributes to our understanding of ancient Greek ritual practice as well of specific rituals. The work presented in this thesis accentuates that miniature pottery’s material meaning and symbolic importance can no longer be dismissed.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates cereals, grapes and horses as key examples of Cyrenaica's agro-pastoral economic resources in the Hellenistic and early-mid Roman periods. These have been examined in three case studies to indicate the region's potential for producing annual crops, fruiting plants and animal products. Since cereals and horses are difficult to trace archaeologically and the archaeological data associated with grape cultivation and wine production is quite modest, the main database used in this thesis relates to textual evidence. This includes the literary documents of the Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, and the first European travellers. The epigraphy and a papyrus relating to the period of study are also significant data used in this project. The epigraphic data collected from the Inscriptions of Greek Cyrenaica (IGCyr), Greek Verse Inscriptions of Cyrenaica (GVCyr) and Inscriptions of Roman Cyrenaica (IRCyr) projects are the principal sources of information. Using textual data required me to implement new approaches to test the region's agro-pastoral capacity. In order to demonstrate the region's connectivity, the thesis investigates some of the imported commodities and highlights things that were perhaps exported in return. It also discusses the reasons why Cyrenaican citizens received honours attested in external and local epigraphic evidence. The research suggests that these people were Cyrenaican cereal traders involved in Mediterranean commercial activities. Additionally, ancient geographical references to Cyrenaican coastal sites including harbours and anchorages receive close attention in this thesis. The 16 maritime points (9 are ports and anchorages) between Cherronesos (Χερρόνησος) and Catabathmus (Κατάβαθμος) mentioned in Stadiasmus, raises a question about the maritime connectivity between Cyrenaica and Egypt in the second century AD. Finally, the results also allow me to draw a clear picture of the economic contribution of Libyan groups to Cyrenaica's prosperity. This includes harvesting silphium, breeding animal and connecting Cyrenaica with the African Sahara.

The specific objectives of this work are; 1- identifying more precisely the date of the settlement, 2- exposing the nature and position of the al-'Ayun settlement in relation to the ancient trading route between the Yemen in south Arabia and Gerrha on the eastern coast of Arabia, and 3- trying to find any evidence of the relationship between the three components of the site; that is the settlement, the irrigation system, and the tumulus field. In order to achieve our objectives, and because of the rarity of information about the site, two field excavations were necessary. The first excavation took place between March and May 1988, and the second excavation took place between April and May 1989. The core of this study relies on the information gathered from the excavations.

Resumo: Pretende-se levantar pontos da obra Argonáutica (Ἀργοναυτικά), de Apolônio de Rodes que possam demonstrar a caracterização das personagens Jasão e Héracles, em oposição. A análise parte da observação de C. Beye (Epic and Romance in Argonautica of Apollonius, 1982), que vê Jasão como um novo perfil de herói, próximo a um anti-herói, mais afeito ao gosto do Período Helenístico e Héracles como paradigma do herói da épica homérica visto pelos olhos da crítica e poética do Período Helenístico - principalmente do ponto de vista estético do poeta Calímaco, tido como mentor de Apolônio. Serão analisadas, então, as características desses heróis que serviriam a essa análise, como representações figurativas de cada um e metáforas da evolução natural das estruturas narrativas. Apolônio faria, portanto, além de literatura, uma crítica, análise e releitura do próprio épico nos moldes das narrativas helenísticas a ele contemporâneas.
Abstract: The intent is to raise points of the work Argonautica (Ἀργοναυτικά), of Apollonius Rhodius that can show the characterization of the characters Jason and Heracles, in opposition. The analysis comes from the notice of C. Beye (Epic and Romance in Argonautica of Apollonius, 1982), that sees Jason as a new outline of hero, near to an anti-hero, more wont to the taste of the Hellenistic Period and Heracles as a paradigm of the hero of the Homeric epics seen through the eyes of the critics and poetics of the Hellenistic Period - mainly through the aesthetic point of view of the poet Callimachus, taken as the mentor of Apollonius. It will be analyzed, then, the characteristics of these heroes that had served to this analysis, as figurative representations of each one and as metaphors of the natural evolution of the narrative structures. Apollonius would do, therefore, besides literature, criticism and analysis and re-reading of the epic itself in the form of the Hellenistic narratives contemporary to him.

Full textAbstract:
L’époque hellénistique est le moment où les villes d’Ionie et de Carie changent peu à peu d’aspect. Dans chaque ville ou presque, quantité de monuments publics nouveaux façonnent progressivement un paysage urbain inédit qui se présente comme un miroir de la cité qui l’a créé. C’est cette transformation sans précédent des centres urbains durant l’époque hellénistique que cette thèse se propose d’étudier, en portant attention aux villes d’Ionie et de Carie dans toute leur diversité. Elle cherche à dégager le sens des changements dans deux régions à l’hellénisation ancienne et fortement urbanisées, caractérisées par des interactions entre cités et rois hellénistiques. Cette étude propose des pistes pour mieux comprendre les sociétés civiques au travers d’un lieu de vie : la ville. L’approche privilégie ce que la ville a de plus remarquable, ses édifices publics. Dans une première partie consacrée aux fortifications urbaines, aux lieux qui abritent les activités politiques, et aux espaces de la vie culturelle au sens large, les monuments publics sont évoqués en tant qu’espaces de la vie civique, et l’on s’interroge sur les raisons de la construction de tant de bâtiments nouveaux. Dans un second temps, une étude plus transversale de l’espace urbain décrit comment se met en place à cette époque un cadre de vie véritablement urbain, avec un paysage, des aménagements et une organisation de l’espace bien spécifique. La troisième partie consacrée aux thématiques économiques montre comment la prospérité des cités se traduit dans la pierre : la construction de bâtiments pour abriter les activités économiques témoigne autant du souci des cités de développer et d’encadrer ces activités que de la richesse de la vie économique des poleis. Ce dynamisme contribue aussi à expliquer une activité de construction soutenue, rendue possible par l’existence de ressources abondantes et variées à la disposition des cités. La réflexion porte pour finir sur la dimension politique et sociale des transformations de l’espace urbain. Cette dernière partie se place dans une perspective historique plus large, celle de l’évolution de la cité hellénistiqueThe Hellenistic period is the time when the aspect of the cities of Ionia and Caria is changing gradually. In almost each city, an amount of new public buildings progressively shaping a new urban landscape that looks like a mirror of the city that created it. It is this unprecedented transformation of urban centers during the Hellenistic period that this thesis studies, with attention to the cities of Ionia and Caria in all their diversity. We aim at making sense of the changes in these two regions, which experienced hellenisation and urbanisation early ; they are also characterized by interactions between cities and Hellenistic kings. This study suggests ways of understanding civic societies through the city. We are looking at t the most remarkable features of the city : its public buildings . In the first part devoted to urban fortifications, buildings housing political activities , and areas of cultural life , public monuments are mentioned as spaces of civic life , and we search for the reason why many new buildings were built. Then, the study describes how urban space becomes a place of truly urban life, with a landscape, facilities and a specific spatial organization. In a third section, we show how the cities’ economic prosperity is reflected in stone buildings – some of them housing economic activities – reflects the will of cities to develop and oversee economic activities and the wealth of the poleis. This also helps explain a sustained construction activity made possible by the existence of abundant and varied resources available to cities. Finally, the reflection deals with political and social aspects of the evolution of urban space. This last part is placed in a broader historical perspective, that of the evolution of the Hellenistic city

Pretende-se levantar pontos da obra Argonáutica (Ἀργοναυτικά), de Apolônio de Rodes que possam demonstrar a caracterização das personagens Jasão e Héracles, em oposição. A análise parte da observação de C. Beye (Epic and Romance in Argonautica of Apollonius, 1982), que vê Jasão como um novo perfil de herói, próximo a um anti-herói, mais afeito ao gosto do Período Helenístico e Héracles como paradigma do herói da épica homérica visto pelos olhos da crítica e poética do Período Helenístico - principalmente do ponto de vista estético do poeta Calímaco, tido como mentor de Apolônio. Serão analisadas, então, as características desses heróis que serviriam a essa análise, como representações figurativas de cada um e metáforas da evolução natural das estruturas narrativas. Apolônio faria, portanto, além de literatura, uma crítica, análise e releitura do próprio épico nos moldes das narrativas helenísticas a ele contemporâneas.
The intent is to raise points of the work Argonautica (Ἀργοναυτικά), of Apollonius Rhodius that can show the characterization of the characters Jason and Heracles, in opposition. The analysis comes from the notice of C. Beye (Epic and Romance in Argonautica of Apollonius, 1982), that sees Jason as a new outline of hero, near to an anti-hero, more wont to the taste of the Hellenistic Period and Heracles as a paradigm of the hero of the Homeric epics seen through the eyes of the critics and poetics of the Hellenistic Period – mainly through the aesthetic point of view of the poet Callimachus, taken as the mentor of Apollonius. It will be analyzed, then, the characteristics of these heroes that had served to this analysis, as figurative representations of each one and as metaphors of the natural evolution of the narrative structures. Apollonius would do, therefore, besides literature, criticism and analysis and re-reading of the epic itself in the form of the Hellenistic narratives contemporary to him.

Full textAbstract:
Diodoro de Sicília historiador que viveu no século I antes da época comum escreveu uma obra intitulada Biblioteca Histórica constituída de quarenta volumes dos quais restaram integrais apenas dos livros I ao V (fragmentos dos livros VI ao X), e dos livros XI ao XX (fragmentos dos livros XXI ao XL). O autor escreveu em sua monumental obra a história universal desde os primórdios (incluindo história egípcia, história dos povos bárbaros, história grega e romana) até à sua própria época (última data citada por Diodoro diz respeito à colonização de Tauromênion, empreendida no reinado de Otávio [XVI, VII, 1]). Entretanto, Diodoro nunca foi considerado, nem em sua própria época, nem em épocas posteriores, um historiador original: sua obra foi considerada uma cópia incessante de outros autores. O centro da controvérsia nos tempos modernos (a partir do século XIX) foi a Quellerforschung (pesquisa das fontes) que intentou buscar no texto diodoriano autores perdidos (que ele cita explicitamente em sua Biblioteca) da época helenística como se o mesmo apenas os tivesse copiado. Essa pesquisa teve por objetivo resgatar a originalidade da Biblioteca Histórica buscando conferir a seu autor a autoria de seus escritos. Longe de ser um mero copista, Diodoro é um historiador-educador que busca instruir seus leitores dando um caráter de utilidade no aprendizado de uma vida correta e justa. Pode-se dividir a Biblioteca em duas partes: a primeira (livros I ao V), de cunho etnográfico-geográfico, narra como os homens foram capazes de caminhar rumo à vida civilizada (ou não, no caso dos bárbaros). A recorrência dos termos parádoxa e thaumázein significando espanto, admiração e maravilhamento mostram como a humanidade foi capaz de superar as dificuldades de uma existência difícil e hostil tornando-se capaz de viver em sociedade. A segunda parte (livros XI ao XX) da Biblioteca, Diodoro dedica-se a narrar a história do mundo (especialmente a da Grécia) mostrando o exemplo dos grandes homens, sobretudo nos campos de batalha. Parádoxa deixa de significar maravilha ou espanto e, aliada à Fortuna (tých), ganha o sentido de contrário a toda expectativa. Assim, Diodoro mostra que a Divina Providência (theia pronoía) interfere nos assuntos humanos e cabe ao historiador mostrar como os grandes homens se comportaram diante dos sucessosDiodorus Siculus a historian that lived in the first century before the Common Era wrote a work entitled Library of History constituted of forty volumes from which remained intact only the books I through V (fragments of the books VI through X), and from the books XI through XX (fragments of the books XXI through XL). The author wrote in this monumental work of universal history since the primordial times (including egyptian history, barbaric peoples history, greek and roman history) through his own (last date mentioned by Diodorus concerns the Tauromenion colonization that took place during the reign of Octavian [XVI, VII, 1]). However, Diodorus has never been considered, not even on his own time, nor in the eras after that, an original historian: His writings were considered an inexorable copy of others authors. The focus of this controversy in modern times (starting in the XIX century) was the Quelleforschung (sources research) that intended to search on the diodorian texts for lost authors (that he explicitly quotes in his Library) from the Hellenistic era as if they were solely copied. This research had for objective to reclaim the originality of the Library of History seeking to confer to its author the authorship of his writings. Far from being a mere copyist, Diodorus is a historian-educator that seeks to instruct his readers giving a utility character in the learning of a correct and just life. The Library can be divided in two parts: the first one (books I to V), of ethnographicgeographical connotation, narrates how humankind was able to walk towards civilization (or not, in the case of the barbarians). The recurrent terms parádoxa and thaumázein meaning amazement, admiration and marvelous-ment, show how humanity was capable of overcoming the difficulties of a hostile existence and becoming apt to live in society. The second part (books XI to XX) of the Library, Diodorus dedicates into narrating the history of the world (specially Greece), by setting the example of great men, especially in the battle field. Parádoxa does not signify marvelous or amazed and, allied to Fortune (tých), it gains the meaning of contrary to all expectations. Hence, Diodorus shows that the Divine Providence (theia pronoía) interfere in human business and its up to the historian demonstrate how the great men behaved facing the success and failures of existence. The moralizing character from the Library attributes to history an extremely important role, for it is up to it demonstrate who deserves to figurate in glory or abasement through the perennially that only history can confer. Diodorus behaves as a judge that points out those who, in their acts, have succeeded and made mistakes, not only narrating the facts, but incentivizing his reader to a virtuous behavior and to a moral aret.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an examination of the role of architectural benefaction of the local elite on the urbanization of the Greek cities of Asia Minor in the Roman Imperial period, and its impact on the social status of the benefactor. While providing a theoretical framework for the nature of benefaction in antiquity and the pattern of architectural renewal of the Anatolian cities under the Roman influence, the thesis focuses on a single case studythe Hellenistic City Gate of Perge which was restored by Plancia Magna during the reign of Hadrian. After its renovation, the gate became an indispensible part of the urban activities of Perge and a source of pride for both the city and its donor. Hence, this study constitutes an attempt to investigate the involvement of Plancia Magna&rsquo
s architectural patronage within the Roman urbanization of Perge and also the transformation of the public persona of Plancia Magna in the center of the male-dominated Roman society.

Full textAbstract:
Au Proche-Orient, l'os, l'ivoire, la corne et l'écaille de tortue ont été exploités pour fabriquer des objets très divers durant les époques hellénistique à byzantine. Or, alors que des objets dans ces matières sont mis au jour sur de nombreux sites, les façons dont les artisans transformaient la matière première en objet fini, de même que leur insertion dans la société à laquelle ils appartenaient, sont encore méconnus. Pour combler ces lacunes, l'étude d'assemblages provenant de contextes dits artisanaux a été réalisée suivant une approche technologique. Adaptée des travaux en Préhistoire et fondée sur le concept de technique en tant qu'action élémentaire sur la matière, cette approche, multidisciplinaire, a pour but de remettre l'artisan et son savoir-faire dans son contexte économique et social. À travers le croisement des données historiques, archéozoologiques et technologiques, nous avons ici tenté de reconstituer les rapports que l'artisan entretient non seulement avec la matière qu'il transforme, mais également avec les autres acteurs de l'exploitation des matières animales (boucher, tanneur), ainsi que sa place dans la société dans laquelle il évolueFor a period covering Hellenistic to Protobyzantine times - and beyond -, bone, horn, ivory and turtle shell were used to produce a wide variety of items in the Near East. While these items are regularly uncovered on excavation sites, the production processes, as well as the craftsman's place in Hellenistic to Protobyzantine societies, are still poorly understood. To better assess them, collections from so-called artisanal contexts were studied using a technological approach. Set up from a Prehistorian-developed method and based on the concept of the technique as an elementary action on the material, this multidisciplinary approach aims to put the craftsman and his ways of working back into the economic and social context of the society he lives in. Through the study of written, archaeozoological, and technological sources, we searched to understand the relationships not only between the craftsman and the materials he works with, but also between him and the other actors involved with animal materials, as well as to determine his place in the society he is part of

Full textAbstract:
Il est reconnu que la poésie hellénistique a donné à l’expression du sentiment amoureux une importance inédite, mais la rupture que constitue ce fait littéraire par rapport aux œuvres du passé n’a cependant pas toujours été suffisamment mise en avant. Cette étude propose donc d’examiner les spécificités de cette représentation de l’amour et de montrer qu’elle ressortit principalement au registre pathétique. Ainsi, dans une perspective diachronique, elle s’attache tout d’abord à rappeler les particularités de la représentation de l’amour dans la poésie des époques archaïque et classique, et à montrer notamment le rôle secondaire qu’y tient cette thématique. Puis, après avoir analysé les caractéristiques, complexes mais toujours éminemment négatives, que les poètes hellénistiques attribuent à l’amour, essentiellement réduit pour eux à l’ἔρως, elle examine les modalités précises de son expression pathétique, une innovation importante grâce à laquelle la thématique amoureuse a pu accéder en littérature au rang d’un véritable sentiment. Cette étude permet enfin de montrer que la représentation pathétique du sentiment amoureux est l’une des clefs pour comprendre plusieurs caractéristiques et enjeux fondamentaux de la poésie hellénistique, à propos de laquelle il convient de parler d’une véritable poétique de l’amour. En effet, le pathétique amoureux peut s’y lire comme un paradigme méta-poétique qui ne reflète pas seulement les nouvelles valeurs esthétiques de l’époque hellénistique mais également les conditions, inédites, de création et de réception des œuvres littéraires, en particulier dans leurs rapports, aussi étroits qu’ambigus, aux cours royales et à la traditionHellenistic poetry attributed an importance to love never encountered in poetry before. This literary break with the past has only ever received scant attention. This study sets out to examine the specifics of how love was represented and to show how it essentially emerges from the pathetic register. From a diachronic perspective, the study aims to focus on the particular characteristics of the representation of love in the poetry of the classical and archaic periods, and above all demonstrate the secondary role the theme was accorded. After an analysis of the complex, but always eminently negative, characteristics, attributed to love by Hellenistic poets, which, to them, is essentially reduced to ἔρως, the study examines the precise modalities of its expression through pathos, an important innovation through which the theme of love became recognised as a genuine feeling in literature. This study ultimately enables us to show that the pathetic representation of love is one of the keys to understanding several characteristics and fundamental issues of Hellenistic poetry, through a genuine poetics of love. Romantic pathos can indeed be interpreted here as a meta-poetic paradigm which does not only reflect the new aesthetic values of the Hellenistic age but also the new conditions of creation and reception of literary works, in particular in their close and ambiguous relationships with royal courts and tradition

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude doctorale s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une cotutelle de thèse entre les universités de Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense et de « l’Orientale » de Naples. Elle vise à étudier les typologies architecturales et décoratives utilisées dans les maisons des classes moyennes de Pompéi entre la fin du IVe et le début du Ier s. av. J.-C. Cette thématique est encore incomplètement traitée par la littérature spécialisée, qui s’est souvent concentrée sur des contextes plus raffinés et des périodes ultérieures. La recherche a été appuyée sur l’analyse conjointe des données de fouilles, si ces dernières sont disponibles, et des structures d’époque samnite encore in situ. Par ailleurs, la participation à un projet de recherche sur la Regio VI, nous a offert l’occasion de travailler sur du matériel inédit et de démarrer notre enquête à partir d’un cas d’étude spécifique, la Casa del Granduca Michele (VI,5,5) et ensuite de vérifier la diffusion des données acquises à l’échelle de la ville. Le travail a été donc divisé en trois parties. La première a été consacrée au cas d’étude, avec une analyse approfondie de la structure et de la décoration de la maison notamment au IIe s. av. J.-C. La deuxième a concerné l’étude des types architecturaux diffusés dans la cité vésuvienne l’époque samnite, avec un regard particulier sur le type de la maison à atrium testudinatum qui n’avait pas fait l’objet d’une étude systématique. La troisième partie a enfin concerné des décors des maisons de taille moyenne. L’analyse a concerné, avec une approche diachronique, d’abord les décorations peintes des parois et des plafonds, ensuite les éléments accessoires et pour finir les revêtements de solsThis Ph.D is prepared in co-tutorship between the Université de Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense and the Università degli studi di Napoli « l’Orientale ». Its aim is to analyze the architectural and decorative typologies used in the construction of Pompeian middle class houses between the end of forth and the beginning of first c. B.C. As a matter of fact, if the most luxurious domus of this period are well known, many aspects of the middle-class houses are still to be studied, for they have long been left aside by the scientific research. The study has been based on the analysis of data coming both from excavations and from a survey of the samnitic structures still in situ. Moreover, the participation to a research program centered on the Regio VI has offered the occasion to work with unpublished material and to start the research from a case study, the Casa del Granduca Michele (VI,5,5). The diffusion of data collected in this house have later been verified with a research on the city level. Therefore, work has been divided in three parts. The first one has been dedicated to the case study by a deepened analysis of structure and decoration of this house in the second c. B.C. The second one to the architectural typologies used in middle class houses during the samnite period, with a particular regard to the type of the atrium testudinatum house, which previously had never been systematically studied. The third part has dealt with the decoration of these houses. The analysis, carried out with a diachronic approach, has concerned walls and ceilings’ paintings, floors and other elements like terracotta and main door stone capitals

Le développement des études phéniciennes à partir du XIXe siècle a favorisé l'étude de problématiques centrées sur le lien entre les Phéniciens et la Méditerranée. L'essor, ces dernières années, d'études abordant les dynamiques spatiales comme témoins du rapport des sociétés anciennes à leur territoire invite à repenser ce lien, en étudiant l'organisation des cités et leurs rapports avec leurs-arrière-pays. Représentés par des réseaux d'interaction et de hiérarchie modélisés entre les cinquante-trois sites du corpus, ces rapports sont examinés au miroir du contexte historique hellénistique. Ce dernier, étudié à échelle régionale et locale, livre les grandes logiques géopolitiques impliquant la Phénicie à cette époque, ainsi que des données qui alimentent la représentation des réseaux. Le croisement des données historiques et des résultats de modélisation des réseaux débouche sur une lecture dynamique des arrière-pays phéniciens, principalement centrée sur le fonctionnement politique et les activités commerciales et religieuses des cités

Full textAbstract:
This study comprises a comprehensive and detailed account of the historical development of Greek military architecture and defensive planning specifically in Arkadia in the Classical and Hellenistic periods. It aims to resolve several problems, not least of all, to fill the large gap in our knowledge of both Arkadian fortifications and the archaeology record on the individual site level.
After establishing that the Arkadian settlements in question were indeed poleis, and reviewing all previous scholarship on the sites, the fortification circuit of each polis is explored through the local history, the geographical/topographical setting, the architectural components of the fortifications themselves, and finally, the overall defensive planning inherent in their construction. Based an understanding of all of these factors, including historical probability, a chronology of construction for each site is provided.
The synthesis made possible by the data gathered from the published literature and collected during the field reconnaissance of every site, has confirmed a number of interesting and noteworthy regionally specific patterns. Related to chronology, it is significant that there is no evidence for fortified poleis in Arkadia during the Archaic period, and when the poleis were eventually fortified in the Classical period, the fact that most appeared in the early fourth century BCE, strategically distributed in limited geographic areas, suggests that the larger defensive concerns of the Arkadian League were a factor. Regarding the construction and architecture of the city walls, not only where the fortifications of every polis comprised of a mudbrick superstructure, but in all periods, polygonal masonry and trapezoidal masonry were equally viable options for the stone foundations. In this regard, it is established that when used alone, the type of masonry is not a reliable stylistic indicator for establishing the relative date of a circuit. Moreover, it is interesting to note that the location of every single site chosen was provided with protection in the form of some sort of watercourse. Finally, concerning innovations in siege warfare and offensive artillery, the defensive responses of the Arkadian fortifications follow the same general developments observable in the circuits found throughout the Greek world.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to establish the existence of a distinct regional architecture on the Cycladic islands during the Classical and Hellenistic periods. It presents a record of materials and of certain constructional techniques, proportions and forms of Cycladic monumental architecture, from which it is possible to establish and explain the differences and similarities of Cycladic practice with other Greek architectural traditions. It is based on a close examination of all the known major buildings and many fortifications on the Cyclades and Thasos, a colony of Pares with certain similar architectural traits. The first section of the thesis (Chapters 2-4) treats the principal constructional techniques, with separate detailed examinations of the various materials employed, the types and nature of foundation, euthynteria and wall construction. The materials available to the builders played a major part in the nature of these parts, all of which display a pronounced conservatism in technique despite strong influences from outside the archipelago. The second section (Chapters 5-6) looks at a number of significant proportions within Doric colonnades and entablatures, principally outlining the Cycladic tendency for slender columns and a less well established tendency for relatively low architraves throughout the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods; accompanying tables and graphs detail and illustrate the proportions discussed. The final section (Chapters 7-8) studies two particular architectural forms - the tops of triglyphs and Ionic capitals; in the former, particular regional preferences of form are noted, while in the latter there are both conservative and innovative tendencies, as well as strong outside influences. There emerges from this study a local architecture that is conservative in many aspects of its architecture while being receptive to outside influences and even having a certain notable originality of its own. Appendix 1 lists many of the typical traits of essentially Archaic Cycladic architecture, some of which continue into the Classical period. Appendix 2 includes graphs detailing the effect of lower column diameter and column height upon column slenderness. A Catalogue of the Classical and Hellenistic Cycladic and Thasian monuments, together with their bibliography, is included at the end of Volume I.

Lagos, Constantinos. "A study of the coinage of Chios in the Hellenistic and Roman periods." Thesis, Durham University, 1998. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/4848/.
Full textAbstract:
The central part of the thesis consists of the chronological arrangement and discussion of the coin series struck by the Chian mint from the beginning of the Hellenistic period (c 332 BC) down to its demise during the late Roman Imperial period (c 270 AD). After establishing a sequence of issue for the individual series I consider other aspects of the coinage, such as patterns of issue, links with the economy, and developments in typology and denominations. These topics are presented and discussed in general chapters following that of the coin series. The study of coin typology has contributed to our knowledge of Chian society and economy of the period. For example the adoption and permanent use of sphinx type on the obverse of the coinage offered the opportunity to trace the development of the main civic symbol of an ancient Greek city over a continued period of six centuries. The wine amphora appearing on the reverse of most coins revealed that this jar was manufactured locally at Chios throughout the Roman period, which archaeology has failed to record. This finding has repercussions on our idea of contemporary Chian economy since it constitutes strong evidence that the export of wine -known to have been an important economic activity for Chios in earlier periods- continued after Roman domination. A separate chapter on the denominational system at Chios proved of particular importance for understanding the denominations used in the Eastern Greek world in general, since Chian coinage of the Roman period is one the few bearing marked denominational values. Numismatic findings have also contributed much to the meager information we have on the local history during Hellenistic and Roman periods. The last chapter discusses the Chian issues as economic objects and their circulation overseas. The study has established a link between the Chian trade pattern and foreign finds of this coinage during the same period.

This research forms a regional study of the theatres of the Peloponnese in the Hellenistic and Roman Periods. It includes a Catalogue of all 29 monuments discussed with appended bibliography and separate chapters on each section of the theatre analyzed. More specifically, after an overall presentation of the methods of design used in the theatres of the Peloponnese, the elements of the theatre are examined in each section. The study concludes with the Reconstruction of the Deus ex Machina in the theatre of Phlious. The aim of the research is to present a detailed image of the theatres in the periods discussed, with the purpose of resolving problems related to the architecture of the monuments, with the aim of assessing the development of the theatre building in this area from the fourth century BC up to the end of the fourth century AD.

Full textAbstract:
Les études récentes sur la Béotie ont permis de mieux comprendre la mise en place et le développement du koinon béotien à l’échelle de la région. L’intégration des différentes cités au sein d’une instance fédérale a un aspect militaire indéniable, qui a été fréquemment souligné. Pourtant, il n’existe à ce jour aucune synthèse traitant sur le long terme le fonctionnement des institutions militaires et de l’armée du koinon béotien. C’est ce que je propose dans le cadre de cette thèse de doctorat. Mon étude est limitée aux phases les mieux connues du koinon béotien, de sa fondation en 447 av. J.-C. à sa dissolution par les Romains en 171 av. J.-C. Un premier chapitre est consacré à la description des institutions du koinon, et notamment du rapport qu’on peut déceler entre la structure politique de la confédération et l’armée. Un deuxi.me chapitre traite de l’armée béotienne à l’époque classique, à partir des récits de batailles où interviennent les Béotiens dans les sources littéraires afin de décrire la composition de cette armée, sa structure et les tactiques employ.es. Pour l’époque hellénistique, ce travail n’était pas possible en raison de la rareté des sources littéraires ; c’est essentiellement la documentation épigraphique, exceptionnellement précise, qui permet de mener une étude sur l’armée fédérale de cette époque. Le troisième chapitre de cette étude est donc consacré à la composition de cette armée et à la réforme de l’armement qui intervient ente 230 et 220, tandis que le quatrième chapitre propose une étude démographique à partir des catalogues militaires. Le cinquième chapitre analyse la culture militaire en Béotie, c’est-à-dire les manifestations et la visibilité du fait militaire dans l’espace funéraire, religieux et culturel. Enfin, un sixième et dernier chapitre porte sur la défense du territoire et l’analyse des fortifications béotiennesRecent studies on Boeotia led to a better understanding of the creation and the development of the Boeotian koinon. The collaboration between the various cities under the form of a federal structure has a clear military expression, which has been ofte n underlined, but never studied in detail. In this PhD thesis I propose a synthesis on the military institutions and the army of the Boeotian koinon. From the foundation of the Classical confederacy in 447 B.C. to the dissolution of the Hellenistic koinon in 171 B.C. Chapter One deals is devoted to the institutions of the koinon, and more particularly to the relation that can be discerned between the political structure of the Confederacy and its army. Chapter Two deals with the federal army of the Classical period as it it described in the literary sources, and more particularly the battle descriptions by the Greek historians. It aims to describe the composition of this army, its structure and the tactics employed. For the Hellenistic period, the lack of literary sources led to a different approach; only the epigraphical record is complete enough to allow such a study. Chapter Three is therefore devoted to the composition of the Hellenistic army and to the military reform which took place between 230 and 220 B.C., while Chapter Four is a demographic study that relies upon the conscript lists. Chapter Five analyses the military culture in Boeotia, that is to say the visibility of the military in the funeral, religious and cultural landscape. Eventually, Chapter Six deals with the defense of the territory and the analysis of the fortifications of Boeotia

Full textAbstract:
L’anarchia désigne au sens propre la vacance du pouvoir dans la sphère militaire (la mort du chef sur le champ de bataille) et dans la sphère politique (la vacance de la magistrature, en particulier éponyme). La notion est vite devenue plus générale et exprime au figuré le manque ou le refus du commandement. Elle se rapproche des sens d’insubordination, insoumission, indiscipline, licence et désordre. L’expérience effective de la vacance du pouvoir dans les cités grecques, sa représentation et sa conceptualisation constituent les axes principaux de cette recherche. L’anarchia est envisagée à l’échelle de l’âme, de la famille, de la cité, voire de l’univers. Elle engage une réflexion sur l’articulation entre deux principes a priori antagonistes, l’aspiration à la liberté et la nécessité de l’ordre, et par conséquent sur les fondements de l’exercice légitime du pouvoir. L’étude repose sur l’analyse précise des emplois du terme anarchia dans les sources épigraphiques, historiques, littéraires et philosophiques. La première partie envisage les vacances effectives des magistratures dans le cadre du cours normal ou d’une rupture du fonctionnement des institutions ainsi que les palliatifs mis en place. Les occurrences du terme anarchia concernent les cités d’Athènes, Thasos, Téos, Syros et Bérénikè. S’ajoutent les emplois problématiques des termes akosmia à propos du régime crétois par Aristote et atagia dans les inscriptions thessaliennes. La deuxième partie envisage l’évolution sémantique du terme de l’absence de chef à l’anarchie chez les historiens et les poètes tragiques et la place de l’anarchia dans les théories du commandement élaborées par Xénophon, Platon et AristoteThe term anarchia refers literally to the absence of power, in the military sphere (that caused by the loss of a commander), and the political sphere (the absence of archontes, specifically the eponymous archon). The concept quickly generalised, coming to designate in the figurative sense the lack and want of power or the rejection and negation of power. It approaches the meanings of insubordination, rebelliousness, unruliness, licentiousness and disorder. The actual experience of power vacuum in the cities of Ancient Greece and how the Greeks represented it and conceptualised it are the three main lines of this research. Anarchia is conceived not only in the city but also in the soul of the individual, in the family, or even in the universe. It demands reflection on the articulation between two seemingly antagonistic principles, the desire for freedom and the necessity of order, and consequently upon the foundations of legitimate authority. This work relies on a precise analysis of the term anarchia in the epigraphic, historical, literary and philosophical sources. The first part deals with actual periods of power vacuum in the ordinary course of political life or in the context of institutional disruption and the implemented remedies. The term anarchia is employed in the cities of Athens, Thasos, Teos, Syros and Berenike. One must add the problematical use of the terms acosmia by Aristotle regarding the Cretan regime and atagia in the Thessalian inscriptions. The second part deals with the semantic evolution of the term from the absence of ruler to anarchy in the work of historians and tragic poets and the role of anarchia in the theory of leadership developed by Xenophon, Plato and Aristotle

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour objectif d’étudier les aménagements hydrauliques de Termessos en Pisidie dont le site montagneux et isolé est dépourvu de sources, en rassemblant le corpus de toutes les structures explorables, et d’en définir l’intérêt technologique et socio-Historique durant l’époque hellénistique et impériale. Après le dépouillement des sources écrites et de la bibliographie moderne, nous avons effectué une exploration détaillée du terrain. Plusieurs méthodes ont été appliquées au cours des six prospections archéologiques qui ont eu lieu entre 2010 et 2013, telles qu’une étude géophysique par radar à pénétration du sol et une analyse par magnétomètre à vapeur (gradiomètre). Nous avons eu également recours à la collaboration interdisciplinaire avec des spécialistes architectes, géographes, géologues, hydrologues et archéologues. Dans le cadre d’une recherche comparative, de nombreux sites antiques ont été visités en Anatolie, en Grèce, en France et en Espagne afin de mieux appréhender l’évolution du système hydraulique dans différentes conditions géographiques. Suite à ces travaux, 162 structures hydrauliques ont été observées et inventoriées. Nous avons identifié deux nouveaux types de citernes antiques, un barrage bien conservé, un édifice de spectacle et l’unique sanctuaire dédié à Pan découvert en Anatolie jusqu’ici. Nous avons interprété les vestiges de deux constructions comme des établissements thermaux. Force est de constater que face à un milieu naturel hostile, les Termessiens ont romanisé leur ville en effectuant des travaux considérables, leur permettant de couvrir leurs besoins en eau et d’accéder au niveau de vie urbain de l’époque impériale romaineThe aim of this PhD is not only to focus on Termessos' hydraulic settlement, which has been erected on a sourceless location, but also to examine all explorable structures in order to define their socio-Historical interest and highlight their value to the understanding of hellenistic and roman times. We have started by studying the written sources and by conducting extensive research on site. Different technics have been employed such as georadar technology (Ground Penetration Radar, GPR) and vapour magnetometer (gradiometer) in order to collect data during the six archaeological prospections which took place between 2010 and 2013. Researchers from various disciplines have brought their expertise to this work : architects, geographers, geologists, hydrologists and archaeologists. During this investigation, many ancient sites have been explored in Anatolia, Greece, France and Spain in order to understand the evolution of the hydraulic system with regard to geographical requirements. Followings this, 162 hydraulic structures have been studied and registered. The irrigation and water supply network as well as the sewerage system have been restored. We have discovered two new types of ancient tank, a well preserved water dam, an entertainment building and the only sanctuary dedicated to Pan found in Anatolia so far. The remains of two establishments have been interpreted as thermal baths. Most of all, and despite a challenging natural environment, the Termessians have romanized their city by carrying out great major construction projects allowing them to fulfill their water needs and to celebrate their power

Full textAbstract:
Ancient ships transported not only goods around the eastern Mediterranean, but the people and the diseases they carried. The diseases to which people adapted often lived long enough for their effects to appear in bone. The focus of this dissertation is to discern the comparative health from paleopathological analysis of the human skeletal remains dating to the Hellenistic and Roman periods from Paphos, Cyprus and Corinth, Greece. The samples are comprised of minimally 275 individuals from 31 tombs at Paphos and 94 individuals from 32 bone lots at Corinth. Analytical techniques include gross morphological and metrical examination and radiography of select samples while using the Skeletal Database Committee Recommendations (Rose et al. 1991) as a guide. Limited molecular analysis is also employed. In addition to the identification of paleopathologies, the minimum number of individuals, age, sex, reconstructed stature, and anomalies are determined. The results of both sites are compared and the evolutionary implications of the identified paleopathologies are discussed. Six chapters are presented in this dissertation, including: an introduction; materials and methods; results from Paphos; results from Corinth; comparative results between the two sites; and the conclusions of this research. Results indicate that there was a greater prevalence of infant mortality at Corinth when compared to Paphos. Of those adults that could be aged, however, adults at Corinth lived longer. Stress, as evidenced by enamel hypoplasias, was more prevalent at Corinth, but dental caries were more prevalent at Paphos. Although cribra orbitalia, indicative of anemia, was present at both sites, porotic hyperostosis was identified only at Paphos, perhaps suggesting a different type of anemia at Paphos. Malaria and the thalassemias have been identified in modern times at both locales, but based upon the paleopathological results herein, there is no gross evidence of congenital hemolytic anemias at ancient Corinth. Assuming that the city was repopulated by local Greeks during the Roman period, it is hypothesized that at least up to this time, thalassemia was not a serious problem at Corinth as it likely was at ancient Paphos. Further molecular analyses could test this hypothesis.

Full textAbstract:
Dans les cités grecques, et particulièrement dans les systèmes démocratiques, l’exercice des magistratures amenait de nombreux citoyens à manier de l’argent public. L’oikonomos est l’une des magistratures financières civiques qui s’épanouit dans l’ensemble du monde grec à la fin de l’époque classique et pendant la période hellénistique, et plus précisément en Asie Mineure et dans les cités du Pont-Euxin.Le terme oikonomos renvoie à l’administration de l’oikos, l’unité économique et sociale de la société grecque. L’organisation de l’oikos et les pratiques déployées pour assurer la survie et le développement de ses membres, correspondent à des principes élémentaires connus depuis les poèmes épiques. À partir de la fin du Ve siècle, l’oikonomos est identifié comme détenteur d’une technè qui suscite les réflexions philosophiques dans la cité d’Athènes. Il est reconnu comme l’agent de la pratique de l’oikonomia, la science de la gestion domestique. À une époque de changements économiques, politiques et sociaux importants, les philosophes et les prosateurs font le lien entre la gestion domestique et l’administration des affaires de la cité. Grâce à l’apport des sources littéraires, notre enquête permet d’identifier et de comprendre le passage qui s’effectue à la fin du IVe siècle entre l’oikonomos, gestionnaire de l’oikos et la magistrature civique. Dans un second temps, l’étude des sources épigraphiques met en lumière le rôle et la place de la magistrature dans les cités où elle est attestée. Le plus souvent magistrat unique, l’oikonomos intervient à la fois dans le règlement des dépenses et dans la prise en charge matérielle des honneurs décrétés par la cité. Néanmoins, il n’est pas le seul magistrat. Trésoriers, néôpes ou d’autres magistratures, financières ou non, ont des rapports étroits avec l’oikonomos. L’analyse de leurs relations apporte des éléments de compréhension à la fois sur les attributions des oikonomoi, sur la chaîne des responsabilités engagées dans le processus de publication et de résolution des honneurs et enfin sur la gestion des finances des citésIn Greek cities, and especially in democratic systems, many citizens had to deal with public money. The oikonomos is one of the civic financial magistracies that spread throughout the Greek world in classical and Hellenistic times but especially in Asia Minor and Pont-Euxin.Firstly, the oikonomos refers to the administration of the oikos, the economic and social unit of Greek society. The organisation of the oikos and the practices implemented to ensure the survival and development of its members correspond to elementary principles known since epic poems. From the end of the 5th century onwards, the oikonomos has been identified as the holder of a technè that stimulated philosophical reflection in the city of Athens. The oikonomos was identified as the agent of the practice of oikonomia, the science of domestic management. In an era of significant economic, political and social change, philosophers established the link between domestic management and the administration of the city's affairs. The analysis of literary sources has made it possible to identify and understand the transition that took place at the end of the 4th century between the oikonomos, the manager of the oikos, and the civic magistracy. Secondly, the study of epigraphic sources highlights the role and place of the oikonomos in the cities where it is documented. In most cases, there was only one holder of the magistracy. The oikonomos was involved both in the payment of expenses and in the material support for the honours decreed by the city. Sometimes it may has been associated with other people. Treasurers, neopes or other financial or non-financial magistrates worked with the oikonomos. The analysis of their relationships provides elements for understanding not only the attributions of oikonomoi, the chain of the responsibilities involved in the process of honours publication and resolution but also on the management of the cities' finances

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the progression from relatively peaceful relations between Alexandrians and Jews under the Ptolemies to the Diaspora Revolt under the Romans. A close analysis of the literature evidences that the transition from Ptolemaic to Roman Alexandria had critical effects on Jewish status in the Diaspora. One of the most far reaching consequences of the shift from the Ptolemies to Romans was forcing the Alexandrians to participate in the struggle for imperial patronage. Alexandrian involvement introduced a new element to the ongoing conflict among Egypt’s Jews and native Egyptians. The Alexandrian citizens consciously cut back privileges the Jews previously enjoyed under the Ptolemies and sought to block the Jews from advancing within the Roman system. Soon the Jews were confronted with rhetoric slandering their civility and culture. Faced with a choice, many Jews forsook Judaism and their traditions for more upwardly mobile life. After the outbreak of the First Jewish War Jewish life took a turn for the worse. Many Jews found themselves in a system that classified them according to their heritage and ancestry, limiting advancement even for apostates. With the resulting Jewish tax (fiscus Judaicus) Jews were becoming more economically and socially marginalized.
The Alexandrian Jews were a literate society in their own right, and sought to reverse their diminishing prestige with a rhetoric of their own. This thesis analyzes Jewish writings and pagan writings about the Jews, which evidences their changing socio-political position in Greco-Roman society. Increasingly the Jews wrote with an urgent rhetoric in attempts to persuade their fellow Jews to remain loyal to Judaism and to seek their rights within the construct of the Roman system. Meanwhile, tensions between their community and the Alexandrian community grew. In less than 100 years, from 30 CE to 117 CE, the Alexandrians attacked the Jewish community on at least three occasions. Despite the advice of the most Hellenized elites, the Jews did not sit idly by, but instead sought to disrupt Alexandrian meetings, anti-Jewish theater productions, and appealed to Rome. In the year 115 CE, tensions reached a high. Facing three years of violent attacks against their community, Alexandrian Jews responded to Jewish uprisings in Cyrene and Egypt with an uprising of their own. Really a series of revolts, historians have termed these events simply “the Diaspora Revolt.”

Full textAbstract:
La thèse s’inscrit dans le domaine de l’archéologie des colonies grecques de Sicile. Les axes de recherche privilégiés sont l’habitat, l’architecture domestique et l’urbanisme de ces villes, toutes situées en Sicile orientale. Le cadre chronologique s’étend sur les IVe et IIIe s. av. J.-C., entendus comme faisant partie de l’époque hellénistique sicilienne. Après une présentation des faits historiques les plus pertinents, la recherche se concentre sur le site de Mégara Hyblaea, l’une des premières colonies grecques de Sicile, dont on présente et analyse les vestiges inédits appartenant à l’époque retenue. Cette étude approfondie traite d’abord des éléments architecturaux, puis des pièces des maisons et enfin des plans des maisons ; les habitations identifiées sont ensuite replacées dans leur environnement urbain. Par ailleurs, chacun de ces thèmes est abordé de façon détaillée et critique à travers cinq autres sites : Camarine, Géla, Morgantina, Syracuse et Tyndaris. Cette démarche facilite les comparaisons et permet de situer l’exemple mégarien dans le contexte choisi. Enfin, d’autres études de cas, plus succinctes, portent sur des sites puniques et des sites indigènes afin d’élargir le point de vue à l’ensemble de la Sicile hellénistique. La synthèse de ces données est organisée en deux parties. La première dresse un état des lieux de la recherche sur l’habitat et l’urbanisme des cités grecques de Sicile orientale à l’époque hellénistique et présente en particulier les questions les plus débattues. Dans la deuxième partie, on propose un bilan des connaissances sur le sujet en intégrant les hypothèses et les avancées réalisées au cours de l’étudeThis thesis concerns the archaeology of the Greek colonies in Sicily. The main research focus is the domestic architecture and the urbanism of these cities, all located in Eastern Sicily. The time frame considered is the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE, during the Sicilian Hellenistic period.Following a presentation of the most relevant historical facts, the investigation focuses on the site of Megara Hyblaea, one of the first Greek colonies in Sicily; previously unpublished remains belonging to the period at issue are presented and analyzed. This in-depth study deals first with architectural elements, then with the rooms of houses and finally the house plans; identified habitations are thereafter set in their urban surrounding. Furthermore, each of these themes is tackled in a detailed and critical way through five other sites: Camarina, Gela, Morgantina, Syracuse and Tyndaris. This approach makes the comparisons easier and allows us to place the example of Megara in context. Finally, other more succinct case studies of Punic sites and indigenous sites widen the scope of this study to the whole of Hellenistic Sicily.The synthesis of this data is organized into two sections. The first part lays out the current state of research on housing and urbanism of the Greek cities in Eastern Sicily during the Hellenistic period and presents the most debated issues. In the second part, the author proposes conclusions to integrate the hypotheses and the breakthroughs arrived at in the course of this study

Le but de cette étude est de présenter un tableau des questions de défense en Crète aux époques classique et hellénistique. La cité grecque étant une entité double, la défense de la ville n’a pas été séparée de celle de son territoire.Le point de départ de ce travail est le catalogue des fortifications crétoises, qui comprend 61 sites fortifiés (enceintes urbaines, forts et tours isolées).
À partir d’une étude qui fait une grande place aux questions de topographie, il a été possible d’une part, de dégager des dynamiques régionales et d’autre part, d’identifier certaines caractéristiques et certaines évolutions dans l’implantation des cités crétoises.
L’exemple de la Crète permet d’alimenter le débat sur la place de l’enceinte dans la définition de la cité. Les vestiges archéologiques ne semblent pas aller dans le sens des sources littéraires, selon lesquelles toute cité était nécessairement ceinte d’un rempart. Mais l’existence d’une enceinte semble bien être la marque du statut de cité./This study aims to raise various questions regarding defence in Crete during the classical and Hellenistic Periods. As the Greek city-state was a double entity, it seemed important to not separate the defence of the town from the defence of the territory.
The starting point of this work was the catalogue of Cretan fortifications, which contains 61 fortified sites (city walls, forts and watch-towers).
Topography plays a key role in the study therefore it is possible, on the one hand to separate regional dynamics of some cities and, on the other, to identify certain characteristics and evolutions in the settlement of Cretan cities.
The example of Crete encourages the debate on the role of the city-wall in the definition of the city-state. Archaeological remains do not seem not to agree with literary sources which declare that every town had a wall. However the existence of a city-wall appears to be indicative of the city-state.

De la céramique italiote du IVe siècle av. J.-C., qui reprend et adapte certains épisodes du cycle d’Achille particulièrement liés à l’univers funéraire (Néréides apportant les armes d’Achille, mort de Troïlos, mort de Penthésilée etc…), en insérant dans les scènes figurées des éléments de la culture locale, au mobilier funéraire étrusque (Tombe François, urnes, sarcophages peints et sculptés), en passant par les miroirs et les cistes prénestines des périodes classiques et hellénistiques, l’existence d’une codification et d’une transmission des schémas iconographiques est clairement visible entre les différentes cultures. Au Ier siècle av. J.-C. et au Ier siècle ap. J.-C., certains épisodes du cycle d’Achille continuent à peupler le répertoire figuré, d’autres disparaissent ne correspondant plus aux nouvelles aspirations des commanditaires et d’autres apparaissent, incarnant des valeurs propres à la culture romaine. A Rome, les sources écrites nous informent sur la présence d’Achille dans la sphère publique (temple de Neptune et Saepta Julia). L’usage de la copie et de la diffusion d’un chef-d’œuvre tel le groupe d’Achille et Chiron, s’insèrent dans une volonté d’imiter l’Urbs, centre du monde méditerranéen. Les peintres renouvellent le répertoire iconographique du cycle d’Achille en créant deux épisodes : la Découverte d’Achille à Skyros et Thétis dans les forges d’Héphaïstos. Ces deux épisodes trouvent un grand succès à Rome (Domus Aurea) et sur les parois des demeures pompéiennes et permettent à la figure d’Achille de se détacher du cycle troyen. Ainsi, le héros grec devient grâce aux adaptations stylistiques et techniques des peintres romains le symbole de la paideia tout en conservant son caractère héroïqueThe italiote ceramic the fourth century B. C., which incorporates and adapts some episodes cycle Achilles particularly related to posthumous glorification (Nereids bringing the arms of Achilles, Troïlus death, death of Penthesilea, etc…) by inserting the figurative scenes elements of the local culture, in Etruscan funerary (François Tomb, urns, sarcophagi carved and painted) through mirrors an prenestines cysts, Classical and Hellenistic periods, the existence of a consolidation and a transmission of iconographic patterns with clearly visible between different cultures. The first century B. C., and the first century A. D., some episodes of Achilles cycle continue to populate the figurative repertory, others dissapear no longer corresponded to the new aspirations sleeping partners while others appear embodying specific Roman culture values. In Rome, written sources inform us about the presence of Achilles in the public sphere (Temple of Neptune and Saepta Julia). The use of copy and distribution of a masterpiece such as Achilles and Chiron group, are part of a desire to imitate the Urbs, the center Mediterranean world. Painters renew the iconography of Achilles cycle by creating two episodes: The Discovery of Achilles in Skyros and Thetis in the forges of Hephaestus. These two episodes are a big success in Rome (The Golden House) and on the walls of Pompeian houses and allow the figure of Achilles to detach from the Trojan cyle. Thus the Greek hero becomes through stylistic and technical adaptations of Roman painters symbol paideia while maintaining his heroic character
