The cultural mosaic of the Lydian civilization manifests itself most intensely in its religious structure. Many gods and goddesses attract attention in Lydian syncretism. While goddesses stand out with their different characteristics, the problem of the mother goddess has long been a subject of curiosity for today's researchers. This situation has the nature of a paradox as there is no consensus on this situation with different opinions. Lydian goddesses of Anatolian and Greek origin stood out with their different characteristics and spheres of influence. However, which one is the mother goddess remains a mystery. Artemis, Demeter, Kore, Kybele and Athena are the goddesses most frequently mentioned in ancient sources and most frequently depicted in visual finds. In this case, the Greek goddesses, who are numerous in number, and the famous Anatolian goddess Kybele, whose sphere of influence is quite wide and in a powerful position, face each other in the same pantheon. In this study, an evaluation was made by considering the influence areas of Lydian goddesses and their frequency of reflection in existing epigraphic and numismatic finds. In this evaluation of the mother goddess paradox in Lydian syncretism, ancient artifacts, Sardis inscriptions and coins were mainly examined.

The tradition of creating inscriptions for various events and occasions was widespread across different civilizations of the
ancient world – Egyptian, Assyrian, Urartian, Iranian, and Greco-Roman – during the second and first millennia BCE. The Armenian Highlands were no exception. Here, the establishment of the Kingdom of Van in the mid-9th century BCE led to the creation of Urartian cuneiform writing as one of its strategic state elements, resulting in nearly two centuries of inscription creation.
Over time, influenced by the military and political developments in the Armenian Highlands, writing developed its own
characteristic features, becoming a unique tool in Armenian state strategy throughout the post-Urartian, Classical, and all phases of medieval Armenia. Moreover, the tradition of epigraphy in the Armenian Highlands emerged as a distinctive phenomenon of written monuments, maintaining its own traditional templates and formal-contextual methods

In a recent article, titled "Cursing beyond the Grave", I explored the topic of funerary curses meant to protect the grave or burial space, focusing on the Jewish tradition of such texts. The article also touched upon related texts that did not include cursing, namely: appeals for protection. This second class forms the focus of the present study.

This article presents 7 unpublished inscriptions of the Imperial period found during a survey conducted in Herakleia Salbake in 2021 and 2022. They include a dedication to Herakles Ktistes, Dionysos Prokathegemon, and Lucius Verus, the first direct attestation of Herakles as the city’s mythical founder (1); a dedication (of a temple?) to Aphrodite, whose cult was hitherto unattested in this city (2); the heading of an honorific inscription (3); the epitaph of a gladiator (4); the epitaph of Apollonios and his wife Melitine, which includes a funerary fine (5); two possibly metrical epitaphs (6 and 7); and a graffito (8). In addition to providing information on the city’s cults, the new texts enrich Herakleia’s prosopography. The article also provides a list of four already published inscriptions that were located during the survey.

The emergence of a second Senate on the banks of the Bosporus
represents one of the most impactful outcomes of the Constantinian
revolution. In this paper, sources related to the establishment of the
Eastern Senate are reviewed. From this reading it can be deduced
that the Constantinople assembly took on a supra-municipal and
imperial physiognomy as early as the end of Constantine’s reign.
The transfer of the first Western senators to the East can also be
dated to this phase; it was a phenomenon that took place gradually
and not by force of a rule (usually placed just before 357). The last
part of the article focuses on the social shape of the two senates and
the different aftermaths they experienced during the fifth century

“Nostoi. Capolavori ritrovati” è il titolo di una celebre mostra tenutasi tra il 2007 e il 2008 al Palazzo del Quirinale per celebrare il rientro in Italia di opere eccezionali, di produzione greca e romana, trafugate dalla penisola. La provenienza degli oggetti esposti dal territorio italiano agevolava d’altronde il concetto di un ritorno “giusto” al sito di origine, suggerendo così tale titolo all’esposizione. Cosa succede però nel caso di un’opera trafugata proveniente dal mare e la cui produzione viene riconosciuta come greca? Nel caso del giovane atleta in bronzo riportato a terra al porto di Fano nel 1964 e poi illegalmente acquistato dal J. Paul Getty Museum, il recente ricorso intentato dal museo alla Corte Europea ai Diritti dell’Uomo contro lo Stato italiano si basava sulla mancata appartenenza alla cultura italiana della statua in quanto greca. Considerando che l’opera è databile all’epoca ellenistica, momento in cui l’Adriatico – da cui proviene- è ancora fortemente caratterizzato dalla cultura greca, su quali basi è possibile negare ancora un “giusto” ritorno ai territori per cui la statua potrebbe essere stata realizzata, esposta e da cui è stata depredata?

Ancient associations had very few extant regulations, but those that have survived indicate a variety of functions, such as outlining the structure of the association; delineating the rights, responsibilities, and privileges of members; and establishing norms of behaviour and consequences for non-compliance. Moreover, by-laws codified procedures for decision-making, dispute resolution, and the amendment of governing regulations. The by-laws of these ancient occupational and religious groups can be compared to modern academic societies and in so doing shed light on one another's practices. In particular, the concern with purpose, membership, finance, meetings, and especially behaviour cross the temporal and cultural divide in ways that allow the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies and other academic societies to think more carefully about how they are constituted and, more importantly, how they might respond to broader societal situations that are not directly in their purview.

Two inscribed bases of votive offerings to Zeus Larasios from Tralleis (Aydin), dating from the late second or early third century AD, have been repeatedly discussed ever since the first of them was published in the 19th century. The starting point of the discussion has been the fact that the women who dedicated the offerings identify themselves as pallakai (concubines), a sacred function that was hereditary and could be held only once (or in exceptional cases twice) in a lifetime. There is no agreement among scholars on the duties performed by the pallakai every four years, on the occasion of the penteteric festival of Zeus Larasios. The hypothesis that they were sacred prostitutes, put forward by W. Ramsey in 1883, has been abandoned. The proposal of K. Latte to recognize the pallakai as prophetesses (on the model of the Pythia) is also problematic. The explanation of the term pallake or pallakis by ancient lexicographers as a young girl at the beginning of puberty suggests that t...

The chapter gives a brief overview of the West Sacred Area of Olbia Pontica and the deities worshipped there in the Archaic and Classical periods before turning to the evidence for cultic epicleses of Apollo, specifically Ietros and Boreios, presenting some important recently discovered graffiti on architectural terracotta and challenging the reading and interpretations of some previously known ones (e.g. those considered to be references to Apollo Ietros, 'ruler of Borysthenes'). The author highlights the West Sacred Area as a space of both communal cult and personal worship, cautioning against taking singular instances of divine titles attested in graffiti as secure evidence of communal worship.

The paper deals with some general aspects of Rhodian ceramics in the 8th and 7th centuries BC, and its circulation in Magna Graecia and Sicily. Rhodian Geometric pottery during the 8th century BC shows differences related to the production of the island’s three main centers, Ialysos, Kameiros, and Lindos. The pottery, which was found in burial contexts, shows how these centers had built up a wide range of external relationships, particularly through the intense frequentation of the island by Cypro-Phoenicians and Euboeans. Conversely, Rhodian ceramics circulated very little outside the island, with the macroscopic exception of Spaghetti-style aryballoi. The latter, produced on Rhodes and especially in Ialysos between the last two decades of the 8th and the third quarter of the 7th century BC, are intended for perfume exports. They have been found in many centers of Magna Graecia and Sicily, and in large numbers in Gela, as a result of Rhodian colonization.

This contribution aims to resume the analysis of an inscription from the acropolis of Saturo – the sanctuary centre of the Tarantine chora – published in 1997, which mentions the presence of an Athenaion. First, an attempt will be made to evaluate archival data and archaeological evidence to establish whether the inscribed block belongs to the Late Archaic oikos on the summit of the site. Next, a larger section will focus on the meaning of the verb θακέω, as attested in the inscription, in relation to the practice of welcoming supplicants. These procedures will be examined in more detail through an analysis of literary sources, comparisons with other epigraphic documentation, and a survey of specialist literature on the subject. Finally, the text from Saturo – for which a metrical interpretation is proposed – will be considered within the context of the social interactions taking place in the chora of Taranto.

Rich evidence from Egypt as a province of the Roman Empire documents a curious story of local public archives being mismanaged over a period of several decades after their creation by the Roman state in the mid-first century CE. The events involved the destruction of records by pests and through a failure to catalogue and index them. Precisely why this happened remains a mystery. Was this a case of subaltern resistance by local elites tasked with maintaining Roman state archives, a targeted aim of which was to generate administrative knowledge about private wealth? Or had local liturgists misunderstood or been overwhelmed by the demands imposed by the Roman imperial administration? This story will be compared with other evidence of the destruction of public records in the Roman Empire, which underscores how invasive Roman record-keeping institutions were perceived to be.

Stratonikeia's pantheon displays a unique civic profile with two (almost) equally predominant deities in the Roman period: Hekate (in Lagina) and Zeus Panamaros (in Panamara). Only these two deities were called megistoi kai epiphanestatoi. When they are both mentioned, during the events of 81 and 40/39 BCE when they were granted the onomastic attribute megistos.e, they work in a doublet fashion, fuelled by the usual rhetoric for salutary deities after manifesting their energeia (their power in action), to the point where both deities become the epiphanestatoi theoi indiscriminately. And yet some clues point to Zeus coming first. The 'Stratonicean exception' does not reflect a hierarchy in a civic pantheon, but rather two comparable historical situations from which the city drew the best diplomatic advantage by relying on its gods. It explains the relative prominence of Zeus Panamaros, "born" at the same time as the Imperial era as megistos, epiphanestatos and patrios theos, without downgrading Hecate who preceded him in the patronage of the city and served as a model for the construction of his image. τὰ ἀφανῆ τοῖς φανεροῖς τεκμαίρου, Solon Civitas [.. .] Stratonicensium Iovis et Triviae religionem tueba[n]tur.

The so called Syrian Dead Cities Region, sometimes Syrian Limestone region, is located in the north- western part of Syria. It was one of the richest areas of the eastern Empire: prosperity attested by about 700 settlements dated back from Roman to the end of the proto-Byzantine period (2nd-6th), and a few hundred sites identified as monasteries of 5th-6th century. Mainly the erected settlements consist of private, public and religious structures, arranged on an irregular road system. With the beginning of the 5th and throughout the 6th century, a strong construction activity was recorded, such as the construction of basilicas, baptisteries and monasteries. To these religious buildings, it can also be annexed constructions for receptive usage “πανδοχεῖα” to host pilgrims, who passed through the territory to visit holy places of the region (Qal'at Sim‘an, Teleda...etc.) on their road to visit the Holy Land, because the Syrian Limestone region was an obligatory way of passage to go to the south from Asia Minor. This demographic, religious and economic vitality is proved not only by the archaeological arrangements, but also by a multiplicity of inscriptions, graphites and symbols in Syriac and Greek, which bear among other things, the exact date of the construction of the building in which they are located. They were still in situ - at least until 2010 - incised on the architraves of the entrances, on the windows of the basilicas, on the external walls of churches, monasteries and the annexed πανδοχεῖα. With these paper I aim to emphasize what could be deduced from these traces left us by the population in the 5th-6th century, without forgetting the inscriptions of Roman age 2nd-3rd century that offer a clear topographical, social vision of the territory before the rise of the Christian era.

This paper proposes a critical, interdisciplinary, and methodologically updated analysis of the honorary inscription EDR195365, dedicated to Emperor Flavius Julius Constantius II (337-361 AD), discovered in 2020 in the porticus post scaenam of the Roman theatre of Terracina. The artefact, a reused statue base made of local limestone, constitutes an exemplary testament to Late Antique epigraphic practice and the dynamics of urban self-representation within the context of the Dominate. The investigation integrates the traditional philological and palaeographic approach with advanced digital technologies (3D photogrammetry, multispectral imaging), with the aim of obtaining a more accurate reading of the deeply damaged text and exploring its historical and symbolic implications. The dating of the epigraph to the five-year period 352-357 AD-between the defeat of the usurper Magnentius and Constantius II's triumphal entry into Rome-allows it to be placed at a crucial moment in the reaffirmation of imperial power. The analysis focuses in particular on monumental reuse strategies, the role of epigraphy as a medium of political and ritual communication, and the forms of civic participation of municipal elites in the process of consensus building. The function of the base as a terminus ante quem for the ceremonial use of the porticus, proposals for the integration of the final textual lacuna, possible municipal or official patronage, and the ideological significance of reuse are interpreted in light of a broader framework of urban resilience and municipal agency in Late Antiquity. The inscription is therefore configured not only as a reflection of imperial propaganda but also as an expression of the civic community of Terracina's capacity for adaptation and symbolic survival within the institutional and material transformations of the 4th century.

The epigraphic medium represents a source of direct information on issues of mobility and migration in the ancient world. Inscriptions are indeed a well attested mode of communication through a wide geographical and chronologic range, providing us with a privileged viewpoint on the interaction between different writing cultures. The issues of mobility that will be explored in the proposed panel entail the circulation of individual, or groups of individuals, and of material and immaterial goods either within the same community, or across different communities and countries, for economic, social, cultural, gendered, political and religious reasons. In this scenario, private and public inscriptions, both in prose and in verses, provide a window into modes of representation and self-representation of the actors involved in dynamics of connection and transition in antiquity. This panel focuses on attempts to investigate these dynamics in inscriptions from the Greek and Roman worlds, including provinces and colonies, in the Near East and in traditionally marginalized geographical contexts (e.g., the Far East and Africa). Phenomena of mobility that shed light on cultural contacts between Greek – Roman communities and indigenous cultures will be also addressed and examined. Ethnographic and gender perspectives are among the possible angles through which inscriptions can inform our understanding of ancient processes of integration, mobility and exchange. Possible approaches to the themes of the panel include new methodologies (e.g., cognitive humanities, data mining, geospatial technologies, including GIS applications and web mapping, social network analysis) alongside more traditional historical, prosopographical and textual analysis approaches.

This article examines the importance of group membership in the lives and identities of those who attended and administered the gymnasion of Delos in the Late Hellenistic period, when Athens controlled the island and many foreigners resided there. The evidence of inscriptions suggests that formal and informal groups offered a means of transcending geographical and cultural differences in a way that brought civic relevance and socioeconomic exclusivity to gymnasion users, and a degree of political control to the institution’s Athenian officials. The analysis, conducted from both a bottom-up and a top-down perspective, reveals the gymnasion’s locally specific social dynamics
as well as its role in the cultural and political life of the island during a period of considerable change.

Il rapporto tra l'uomo e il cibo costituisce uno dei temi principali di riflessione e dibattito che ogni società ha affrontato nel corso della sua storia per costruire, difendere e talvolta persino imporre la sua cultura. Non esiste infatti alcuna civiltà umana che non abbia sviluppato gusti culinari, regole nutrizionali, tabù alimentari che siano considerati e vissuti come specifici e peculiari. A volte queste prassi gastronomiche si legano a prescrizioni religiose, altre volte sono connesse alla materiale disponibilità delle risorse di cibo, altre volte ancora sono dettate da mode ispirate dalla fascinazione per alimenti inconsueti o ingredienti innovativi che sfidano la tradizione. In questa costruzione culturale tipicamente umana di regole da rispettare, da interpretare o da infrangere per creare un rapporto identitario con il cibo, tutte le civiltà hanno quindi elaborato a tavola una propria dimensione specifica, che nasce dalla intersezione tra esperienza giuridica, religiosa, etica, sanitaria, economica, politica e sensoriale. La presente Collana di studi si propone di sondare tutte queste diverse sfaccettature per tentare di mettere in luce aspetti sempre nuovi e diversi della complessa vicenda che caratterizza l'indissolubile legame tra gli esseri umani e l'alimentazione, nella fiducia che ogni contributo, pur diverso e specialistico, possa concorrere ad aggiungere nuove tessere ad un mosaico che rimane in continua evoluzione.

2025, Phaselis

The Phaselis Aqueduct, constructed in the IInd century AD to address the increaing population and water demands, stands as an advanced example of Roman engineering, contributing significantly to the social, economic, and public life of Phaselis. Designed to align with the city’s topography, the aqueduct transported water from distant sources, to the city, delivering it through two directional shifts to baths, fountains, an other public spaces. In the Late Antique Period, the aqueduct was adopted to the city’s evolving urban plan through various repairs and reinforcements, enabling its contiuned use. However, it gradually deteriorated due to eartquakes and changes in sea levels. The structural features of the Phaselis aqueduct, its technical details and its contribution to the city's water transmission system have not been comprehensively documented due to partial investigations in the past. For this reason, a detailed documentation process was initiated and the relationship of its system to the structures in different parts of the city was examined through the provision of architectural and engineering documentation. Only limited sections of the aqueduct have survived to the present day, and the non-existing sections of the aqueduct have been reconstructed with their possible locations according to the data obtained.

Sp(urius) Varaeus son of Numerius they came here 4 on the twenty-sixth of August when Q(uintus) Fabius and G(aius) Licinius were co(n)s(uls) at Rome. The nature of Acutius' claim to be primus is not clear, given that others came with him to Philae on that same day. A key piece of the puzzle is the value of TER. An indication of tribal affiliation, Ter(entina tribu), 5 which would emphasize the Italian origin of Acutius with greater specificity than an ethnic, would be very unusual by this date. On the other hand, the cognomen Ter(tius) 6 would balance that of Marcus Claudius. J. E. Bingen has argued 7 against TER being an abbreviation on the basis of the space that follows and because Acutius must be distinguishing himself from the others at Philae with him that same day by being the first of the group to come to Philae three times. The purpose of Acutius' visit to Philae with his companions remains uncertain. The precise date provides clues about why these three men had come to Philae. Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II

The dome of the former Metropolitan Church of Suceava, dedicated to St. George, preserves one of the most extensive cycles of Old Testament prophets in Moldavian mural painting of the 15th and 16th centuries. The scale of this prophetic cycle is comparable to those found in several Serbian mural ensembles dating to the late 14th and early 15th centuries. However, the Moldavian version stands out as a unique case due to the specificity of its content.
This study aims to analyze the selection of prophetic figures, with particular attention to the scriptural passages inscribed on their scrolls. The sequential arrangement of these texts creates a contiguous narrative or theological “commentary” that acquires particular significance within the broader iconographic context of the dome.

After the philological work of Donato Morelli (Morelli 1959), the monography of Elizabeth M. Craik (Craik 1980) gave sense to the inherent relationship among the members of the Dorian Hexapolis, but no synthetical overview has been dedicated to the Dodecanese as far as the cult and the religion is concerned. The latter shed light to history, myth, and cult, the volume at hand is focused on the epigraphical and archeological evidence, which sometimes-not always-the authors tend to link with the myth-historical events by including them in their material horizon. First, this attempt is a global reassessment of the archeological evidence based on the works made on the field in the past thirty years. Second, the coordination of the research implied such a great effort, in contextualizing single cases, that the result for all the islands is as objective as admirable in their unity. This unity, Dorian in prevalence (Apollo, Artemis, Asclepius, Athena, Poseidon), is emphasized in the summary provided by Fani K. Seroglou, ("Religion and Cult in the Dodecanese during the 1 st Millennium BC. A Summary", pp. 1-9), in which she reviews the largest part of the islands: Kalymnos, with the sanctuary of Apollo Dalios, Tilos, with the remains of the temples of Zeus Polieus and Athena Polias, lying under the church of Ag. Taxiarches, Halki, where there was a temple in honour of Apollo,1 Nisyros, where the sanctuary of Poseidon Argeios has been excavated, Astypalea, where Artemis Lochia and Eileithyia must have been honoured. As for Karpathos, the Pankarpathian sanctuary of Poseidon Porthmios, a temple of Athena Lindia on the acropolis of Pigadia, a sanctuary of Artemis at Vathypotamos and a sanctuary of Apollo at Aperi are noteworthy. Kasos offered a sanctuary to the Great Gods at Grammata and other sanctuaries are testified by inscriptions for Apollo Temenites and Asclepios. On Leros, the sanctuary of Artemis Parthenos should have been founded at Partheni. Artemis 9 1 Strab., 10.5.14-15.

La stele riporta un decreto ateniese del 357/356 che predispone misure economiche e militari per Andro, alleata di Atene: il finanziamento di una guarnigione già presente sull'isola tramite le syntaxeis degli alleati; l'invio di uno stratego; l'incarico di raccogliere il denaro dalle isole vicine. Questo rappresenterebbe una dichiarata infrazione dello statuto della Seconda lega ateniese, che proibiva il ritorno alle pratiche della Lega delio-attica. Il documento, nel contesto Guerra Sociale, deve essere considerato, invece, come la comunicazione di una decisione richiesta e condivisa con gli Alleati volta alla sicurezza di Andro.
