“Unexplored Aspects of the Lycian ‘Twelve Gods Reliefs’,” Epigraphica Anatolica 47 (2014), 107-132
Explores issues surrounding the existence of 55 nearly identical dedicatory reliefs throughout Roman Lycia, raising new questions of their precise link to divinatory practices, Hellenization of local gods, continuity of religion in Lycia, etc., while also putting this unique series in the context of dedicatory reliefs found in rural Lycia and Pisidia. Suggests possible link to plague or some other crisis afflicting the region (if not the whole of the Roman Empire).
Two Votive Reliefs of Herakles from Sounion
From Kallias to Kritias. Art in Athens in the second half of the fifth century B.C. (Berlin ‒ Boston 2022) 295‒310, 2022
With a 'visual turn' taking place in the humanities, whereby material culture has attained a status equal to textual, it is increasingly important that works of art and artifacts be properly interpreted in their historic and archaeological contexts. The new approaches on the part of archaeologists who focus on contexts (political, social, religious) provide fresh ground for interpretation as more and more humanities disciplines engage with visual culture. The aim of the collection of individual studies assembled here is to demonstrate how Classical Athenian art remains a vital field not just for art historians and archaeologists, but for ancient historians, political and social scientists, anthropologists, and those in religious studies as well. Now as new material comes to light and fresh ideas on old topics are being formulated, it is timely to re-investigate the art generated in the age of Perikles and its aftermath, the Peloponnesian War. This new research is presented here in the hope that upcoming generations of students and scholars will gain a deeper understanding of this seminal period of Greek art and architecture. The five decades (449 to 403 B.C.) covered by this volume begin with the putative "Peace of Kallias", probably an invention of the 4 th century B.C., and end with the demise of Kritias, a pro-Spartan intellectual who ended his political career as one of the notorious Thirty Tyrants. This book comprises the papers presented at the international conference "From Kallias to Kritias. Classical Culture: Athens in the Second Half of the 5 th Century B.C.", hosted in Athens by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens on June 6-8, 2019. The conference followed chronologically in the footsteps of "From Hippias to Kallias: Greek Art in Athens and Beyond 527-449 B.C.", 1 hosted by the Acropolis Museum in May 2017. That conference explored the debates concerning the last manifestations of the Archaic and the emergence of the Early Classical style. This volume, like its predecessor, raises important new issues, triggered by ongoing research on old and new excavation material, by probes into museum storerooms, and by the reshuffling of traditional premises.
