The stories engraved on the Lydian and Phrygian stelae known as “confession-texts”—in fact glorifications of the gods—are very often considered to be accounts of personal religious experiences. But as soon as one turns to the backstage of these devotional acts, the priestly authorities intervene at various levels in experiences that started out as individual
‘events’ indeed, but they are masked in the narratives. The rational construction of the texts and their stereotyped formulas, the emphasis put on the same systematised ritual stages, the judicialization of the process—up to its apologetic use in certain sanctuaries—, and the fact that sanctions followed fixed pricings, all bear the mark of close supervision by priestly authorities caring to preserve and publish the memory of these events in the courts of the sanctuaries, to which they were powerful servants. The traces of their influence can be seen even in the friction that the priestly powers happened to cause with the polis’ authorities (police, doctors).

Bu makale, Büyük İskender'in kimliğinin oluşmasında ebeveynlerinin rolünü incelemektedir. Özellikle annesi Olympias'ın dönemin cinsiyet rollerine aykırı davranışları ve antik yazarlar tarafından yanlış yansıtılması üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Babası II. Philippos'un yalnızca içki meclislerine düşkün bir figür olmadığı, aksine krallık adına önemli reformlar yaptığı vurgulanmaktadır. Bu çalışma, İskender'in kişiliğinde ailesinden aldığı kültürel, siyasi ve entelektüel mirası değerlendirmekte; mitolojik anlatılarla bu etkilerin nasıl şekillendiğini tartışmaktadır.

The Great Tumulus of Vergina (Aegae) is widely regarded as the royal burial complex of the Macedonian kings from the time of Alexander the Great. It is traditionally referred to as the "Cluster of Philip II". Beneath it lie four tombs-designated Tombs I, II, III, and IV. Over the past five decades, various hypotheses have been proposed regarding the identities of the occupants of these "royal tombs". Huber (2019) provided a comprehensive synthesis of the available archaeological and historical data regarding the occupants of Tombs I-IV, while Bartsiokas (2024) introduced two new arguments relating to the identification of those buried in Tomb II. In 2025, Maniatis et al. published a scientific study in JAS focusing primarily on Tomb I. Employing radiocarbon dating, nitrogen isotope analysis, and odontological assessment, they concluded that the male remains belonged to an individual aged "25-35 years", and dated the burial to the first half of the 4 th century BC, specifically, to "388-356 calBC". The female remains were similarly dated. On this basis, they rejected earlier identifications of the couple as Philip II and his last wife, Cleopatra. This article reviews the findings of Maniatis et al. (2025) in light of previous studies of Huber (2019) and Bartsiokas (2024). It completes an uncritically published/reviewed article and brings balance to the picture. It argues that the new interpretation is difficult to reconcile with the broader archaeological and historical context, as it overlooks key features of the Aegaen necropolis, including the significance of the heroa and the spatial development of royal burial clusters. If the radiocarbon dates are correct, they exclude Philip II from both Tombs I and II-an unexpected outcome that would render the designation "Cluster of Philip II" a misnomer. Crucially, Maniatis et al. offer no plausible alternative candidate for Tomb I, despite the absence of any historically known figure who better fits its prominence than King Philip II. This article concludes by identifying three essential next steps to help resolve this complex and still-open situation. The final chapter offers a forward-looking perspective on the possible resolution of the debate.

Greek myths tell of gods and heroes, and cities were full of shrines in their honour. However, archaic poetry seems to suggest the existence of a third type of divine power: the daimon. What exactly does this concept mean in poetic texts from the Archaic and Classical periods? Did it also have cultic significance? This is the subject of this book. More specifically, the author analyses occurrences of daimōn — which are radically different from our modern concept of demons — in epic, tragic, and melic poetry, while also examining ritual practices. While the term 'daimōn', in the plural, can refer to the gods, the word used in the singular refers to a divine action whose source cannot be identified by the human being affected, whether positively or negatively. Poetically, it refers to the distribution of good and evil that characterises human life. The use of the term daimon thus highlights the uncertainty inherent in a polytheistic, pluralistic and abundant system. This study provides a better understanding of the complexity of such a system in terms of both representations and practices.

Hemiobols of the so-called heavy thraco-macedonian standard bear an Apollo's head to r. or left on the obverse and a linear square divided into four smaller squares, divided into four triangles on the reverse. A number of theses was found in Olynthus. The striking stylistic similarity of their obverse type with the obverse type of chalcidic tetrobols makes their attribution to the chalcidic mint possible. They were probably struck before the hemiobols bearing a tripod on the reverse.

La conquête de la région par Philippe II est à l'origine de l'arrivée de ses statères d'argent et d'or. Les tétradrachmes royaux de poids attique se succèdent à partir du règne d'Alexandre, apportés par les mercenaires thraces, le bronze servant à payer les sitérésia : ceux de Démétrios Poliorcète au début du III e s. ; ceux de Séleucos I er avec Ptolémée Kéraunos ; ceux d'Antiochos II avec la deuxième guerre de Syrie. Les trésors de tétradrachmes de Macédoine Première, Thasos, Maronée, Aesillas et des drachmes d'Apollonia et de Dyrrachion s'expliquent par les guerres des Romains contre les Thraces et Mithridate VI. Certains de ces monnayages ont été imités.

The significance of the Chalcidic League for the Macedonian kingdom is revealed by the alarm of Antigonus Monophthalmus when he heard that Cassander was founding Cassandreia. Diodorus (19.52.2-3) reports that Antigo nus accused him of refounding Olynthus. For Antigonus, a contemporary of Philip II, the League headed by Olynthus was the most significant threat to the kingdom in northern Greece. When Philip dissolved the League and destroyed Olynthus, the kingdom was freed from the danger posed by its most powerful neighbour. 1 Although Philip II or Alexander III refounded Stageira, one of the league's cities, at Aristotles' request, the refoundation of Olynthus was unthinkable for a Macedonian king. 2 The kingdom of Macedonia was responsible both for the creation of the Chalcidic League and for its destruction. 3 It was the expansion of the Athenian empire that brought the Macedonian king Perdiccas II and the Chalcidians together. The cities of the Chalcidians were members of the Athenian League, and the Macedonian king, who exported timber to Athens, was an ally of Athens at the beginning of his reign. 4 After the ' The author wishes to thank Edward M. Harris for discussion and advice. The incorporation of most of the League's territories into the kingdom was followed by the establishment of Macedonian power in the whole area: see M.

Je tiens en premier lieu à remercier le professeur Michel Sève, pour avoir accepté de diriger cette thèse. Ses remarques et ses conseils ont été d'une aide plus que précieuse. Sans la confiance et le soutien indéfectible dont il a fait preuve à mon égard, ce travail n'aurait pas pu voir le jour. Je remercie également le personnel de l'École française d'Athènes pour m'avoir accueilli à deux reprises au cours des dernières années. Les conseils d'Alexandre Farnoux m'ont beaucoup apporté. Mes remerciements s'adressent également : À Miltiade Hatzopoulos, rencontré lors de mon premier séjour à Athènes, avec qui j'ai pu avoir des échanges éclairants, Au personnel de la bibliothèque universitaire de Sarrebruck, À Antoine Chabrol, membre scientifique de l'École française d'Athènes, qui m'a transmis ses connaissances sur l'utilisation des logiciels de traitement des données géographiques, À Matthieu Ghilardi, qui m'a fait profiter de son travail sur la plaine centrale de Macédoine, À tous mes amis, collègues et doctorants qui ont manifesté de l'intérêt pour mes travaux et n'ont cessé de m'encourager au cours de ces années, À ma compagne Mylène, qui m'a accompagné à travers le territoire de l'ancien royaume de Macédoine. Sa présence et son soutien au quotidien m'ont été d'un grand secours, À mon père, pour son travail de relecture et ses conseils, Je tiens enfin à exprimer ma gratitude à tous les membres de ma famille pour leur compréhension, leur soutien moral et matériel. Sans eux, cette thèse n'aurait sans doute pas pu aboutir. 44 Isocrate, À Philippe, 21 : « Μάγνητας δὲ καὶ Περραιβοὺς καὶ Παίονας κατέστραπται καὶ πάντας ὑπηκόους αὐτὸς εἴληφεν ; ». À la suite de son père, Alexandre mena lui-même quelques expéditions dans ces régions, afin d'y remettre « dans la soumission et le devoir tous les barbares » (Diodore XVII, 3, 1 : « ᾿Αλέξανδρος δὲ τὰς κατὰ τὴν ῾Ελλάδα ταραχὰς καταπαύσας ἐστράτευσεν ἐπὶ τὴν Θρᾴκην καὶ πολλὰ μὲν ἔθνη Θρᾴκια ταραττόμενα καταπληξάμενος ὑποταγῆναι κατηνάγκασεν, ἐπῆλθεν δὲ καὶ τὴν Παιονίαν καὶ τὴν ᾿Ιλλυρίδα καὶ τὰς ὁμόρους ταύταις χώρας καὶ πολλοὺς τῶν κατοικούντων βαρβάρων ἀφεστηκότας χειρωσάμενος ὑπηκόους πάντας τοὺς πλησιοχώρους βαρβάρους ἐποιήσατο »). Si ces extraits parlent effectivement de soumission, il n'est en revanche pas question d'annexion territoriale. Les expéditions menées par les deux souverains argéades avaient avant tout pour but de pacifier une région frontalière et ainsi limiter les velléités d'invasion des peuples voisins.

Des monnaies d'argent datant du premier quart du Ve siecle ont ete attribuees, en fonction de leur ethnique, Ichnaion , ala ville d'Ichnai, situee en Bottiee a l'ouest du fieuve Axios. L'attribution de ce monnayage a Ichnai a constitue pour certains historiens modernes un argument a l'appui de la non-annexion de cette ville et de sa voisine region de Mygdonie par les rois Temenides avant 480. Notre intention est de revoir !'ensemble de Ia documentation relative a cette ville et aux particularites que presente le monnayage d'argent qui lui avait ete attribue.

The first recorded collaborative effort between the Macedonian and Cypriot kingdoms was during Alexander's naval battle against the Persians, where Cypriot kings provided aid in the prolonged siege of Tyre in 332 BC (Arr. Anab. 2, 20-22; Plut. Alexandros 24, 2). This military and naval conflict escalated into a battle to invent new weapons and methods of destroying them, and skilled artisans in siege warfare were recruited from both Phoenicia and Cyprus (Arr. Anab. 2, 23). Macedonians led the siege, while Cypriots provided aid and support. The Greek Koine language, which prevailed during the Hellenistic Period, proved to be the most significant advantage of the Cypriots over other allies of Alexander, allowing them to exchange experiences easily and directly in various fields beyond martial arts. Despite Demetrius' victory over Ptolemy at Salamis in 306 BC, he could not hold Cyprus, which eventually came under the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt in 294 BC. Salamis, the most significant Cypriot city, immediately became the seat of the Ptolemaic Governor. However, in the 2 nd century BC, the administrative centre of the Ptolemies was transferred to Paphos, which was located closer to Alexandria and had a better port than Salamis-Arsinoe. The port of Salamis had likely fallen into disrepair due to silting. The political and economic control of Cyprus by a dominant power brought peace and,

A stretch of Italian farmland concealed one of the small cities that powered the empire

2025, C. Wolff, ed., Le métier de soldat dans le monde romain (Lyon: Presse de l’Université de Lyon) 417-49

Prof. Jay Luvaas (1927-2009), military historian and inspiration Nearly a half century ago, Jay Luvaas, a noted historian of both American and Early Modern European military history (later professor at the U.S. Army War College, 1982-95), published a brief hilarious satire comparing generals of the American Civil War (1861-65). He posited rival baseball teams of Union and Confederate generals (managed by Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee respectively) and assigned players to playing positions based on historians' characterizations of their military leadership and effectiveness. 1 In the spirit of Lucian's Dialogues of the Dead and Julian's Caesares, Luvaas satirized a staple of the so-called « old military history », comparisons of generals, as if athletes playing the same game on similar fields under an identical set of rules. Military history and fantasy baseball are not quite the same thing, although comparison of generals has -as I shall demonstrate -been part of military history from the beginning. Such comparisons, representative of "counterfactual history" and certainly fantasies in themselves (if viewed seriously), may reflect in some cases war-gaming rather than legitimate historical inquiry. 2 Comparisons can illustrate, however, the métier of generalship and, particularly for Antiquity, reveal a set of categories, only partially manifest in surviving texts of ancient military theory, which underlie rankings and evaluations. From another perspective, examination of the historical practice of comparing generals concerns the lists of the so-called "Great Captains." [[418]] Composition of such lists began in the Renaissance, but reflected a mythical military "hall of fame" derived from Antiquity. Comparisons of generals in (e.g.) Nepos, Livy, Plutarch, Lucian, and Julian offered precedents. Alexander the Great and especially Julius Caesar garnered the most attention. Three periods of comparing generals can be discerned for purposes of this discussion: first, Antiquity from Archilochus to Julian's Caesares; second, creation of the modern practice from the fifteenth to the early nineteenth century (roughly Petrarch to Napoleon I); and the current phenomenon from 1

2025, LA LEGIÓN MANIPULAR ROMANA Y LA FALANGE MACEDÓNICA: UN BREVE ANÁLISIS COMPARATIVO

This paper is framed within the debate on how decisive the tactical characteristics of the Roman legions were in defeating the Greek phalanxes. The Romans developed a new way of waging war, motivated by the particular characteristics of their enemies on Italian soil (Gauls and Samnites). Faced with the need to fight in rough terrain and against formations with great maneuverability, such as those of the Gauls, they abandoned the static phalanx formation and developed a combat formation and tactics with greater flexibility and maneuverability. This flexible formation allowed them to defeat the battle formation par excellence in the Mediterranean: the phalanx. This type of formation proved to be cumbersome against a much more flexible and adaptive enemy, capable of fighting in almost any type of terrain and against any type of enemy. Although, kings like Pyrrhus of Epirus posed a serious threat to the city of Latium, the Romans were able to overcome him, as well as the Macedonian phalanxes they would face in the mid-2nd century BC. Macedonian defeats, such as that at Pydna (168 BC), clearly demonstrated that the decline of the phalanx had arrived, while the Roman military machine had no rival to stop it. This paper will offer a comparative analysis between the Roman legion and the Macedonian phalanx, breaking down the characteristics of each and emphasizing their respective strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, it will refer to the most representative battles between Romans and Greeks, identifying the key factors that led to Rome’s victory. To carry out this analysis, primary sources such as Polybius or Titus Livius and specialized bibliographic sources will be used, as well as explanatory images.

La comprensione del fenomeno artistico nelle società antiche richiede, infatti, un articolato processo di interpretazione, condotto secondo un metodo interdisciplinare, volto a coniugare le pratiche artigianali con le esigenze della società. Iconografia e iconologia, tecniche artistiche, organizzazione delle botteghe, circolazione dei modelli costituiranno i principali filoni di ricerca attraverso i quali ricomporre i lacerti di un quadro straordinariamente complesso, per comprendere il quale giocano un ruolo fondamentale anche le fonti letterarie. La riflessione sui metodi di selezione e interpretazione del linguaggio figurativo, tra età classica ed ellenistica, mondo greco e mondo romano, sarà aperta anche alle elaborazioni del Medioevo, del Rinascimento ed oltre, nell'ottica della tradizione, ricezione e interpretazione dei modelli antichi. This Editorial Series aims to become a place to debate topics relating to Classical Art, the approaches to which have witnessed a profound transformation in recent years. Indeed, understanding the artistic phenomenon in ancient societies requires an articulate process to be pursued through an interdisciplinary method meant to wed artisanal practices and the needs of society. The main research lines will consist of iconography and iconology, artistic techniques, workshop organization, and the circulation of models. Thereby, an extraordinarily complex context could be recomposed from its fragments. Literary sources will also play a pivotal role in reconstructing such a context. The study of the methods of selection and interpretation of figurative languages between the Classical and Hellenistic ages and the Greek and Roman worlds will encompass further developments over the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and beyond from the perspective of tradition, reception, and interpretation of ancient models.

Durante milenios el magnicidio de Filipo de Macedonia ha suscitado todo tipo de acusaciones, teorías e hipótesis. Obviamente, buena parte de tales elaboraciones dirige miradas acusadoras a Alejandro Magno, por el evidente hecho de ser el gran beneficiado con tal crimen. Semejante realidad, exige un análisis basado tanto en el método histórico como jurídico y forense, de tal manera que permita desmontar mitos y señalamientos precipitados para finalmente arrojar luces sobre los determinadores o autores intelectuales de este regicidio. En efecto, el asesinato del padre y primer maestro de Alejandro Magno sigue despertando el interés no sólo entre los amantes de la Historia, sino así mismo el gran público. De esta manera, puede resolverse un interrogante tan apasionante como ilustrativo: ¿Alejandro Magno es culpable de la muerte de su padre Filipo? A continuación se presentan los resultados de una investigación basada en la Ciencia Histórica, la Historiología o la Historiografía, así como la teoría jurídica de las pruebas judiciales, o la investigación forense entre otras disciplinas empleadas.

Pour les notables, le don au corps civique, quel qu'il soit, se dessine comme une occasion particulièrement favorable de se distinguer par des largesses et des prodigalités. En ce point, l'évergétisme est une caractéristique des sociétés gréco-romaines qui se présente sous diverses formes et revêt le visage d'évergètes bien différents. C'est donc à travers l'étude d'une inscription latine découverte en Afrique romaine, que nous nous intéressons au cas singulier d'un évergète : le premier flamine munéraire de Théveste. Ce notable ne manque pas de manifester sa singularité non seulement par l'évergésie qu'il prodigue à sa communauté, mais aussi par l'affirmation de sa position sociale en exaltant le statut et les dignités de ses ascendants.

Over the last few decades, important progress has been made in the study of the impact of the Roman con‐ quest on southern Italic societies. Archaeological research has fueled the debate by providing vital new information on the urban and rural settlement changes that occurred in the fourth to the first centuries BCE. As a result, the main developments that occurred at the time that the region was increasingly incorporated into the expanding Roman empire are well understood. Nevertheless, some essential questions remain to be answered, especially those regarding the causal relationship between these developments and Roman colonial agency. The problem has also been highlighted in Roman archaeology more generally, and a series of recent studies have sought to disentangle various societal trends from Roman intervention, notably in the areas of culture and socioeconomy. Such studies argue for more complex, dynamic understandings that take local, regional, and wider processes into account, and consider multiple actors. Key scholars in this area are the late Douwe Yntema and Enzo Lippolis. Both have been invaluable teachers and colleagues to us, and in this chapter, we will pay homage to these great individuals. The aim is to contribute to their important studies, and to the academic the debate in general, by analyzing the development of three settlement sites in the Melfese area of present‐day Basilicata between the fourth and first centuries BCE.

Diodorus, one of our main sources on Philip of Macedon, does not report
the content of the king’s speeches, limiting himself to presenting a summary
of them. Nevertheless, especially for some episodes, he highlights the
king’s ability to combine promises and deeds. Thus, Philip followed up the
incitement to valour in battle with personal examples of military bravery,
and the promise of benefits with the distribution of gifts. This was a skilful
strategy which, relying on the close link between logos and praxis, aimed at
gaining and/or strengthening the consent of soldiers and allies in complex
or extremely dangerous situations.

The article examines the actions of the Macedonian king Philip II’s army and the anti-Macedonian coalition troops of the in Central Greece during the time immediately preceding the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC. The author states that military activity began in the autumn of 339 BC, when, as part of the Expansion of Macedonia, Philip invaded the region and unexpectedly captured the city of Elatea, which was of great strategic importance. The result was the rapid advance of the Athenian army into Boeotia and the formation of the Athenian-Theban coalition, which some other policies joined a little later. The Greek forces took up two defensive positions separated by Mount Parnassus. The first was at the Amphissa in the Gravia Pass. The first was located at Amphissa in the Gravian Mountain Pass, where 10,000 mercenaries led by Hares and Proxenus were stationed. The civilian militia of the Greek polis occupied an area convenient for defence on the banks of the river Kefissus near Parapotamia. It was a defensive strategy that corresponded to the attitudes of the Greek military of the 4th century BC and took into account the earlier experience of opposing Philip. In the winter of 339 – 338 BC, there were presumably no large-scale military operations. As part of the spring-summer campaign, Philip managed, thanks to disinformation, to carry out a surprise attack and clear Gravia Pass, defeating a tenthousandth corps of Greek mercenaries. The author indicates that this forced the civil militia of the anti-Macedonian union to leave their positions at the Parapotamii, and Philip had the opportunity to meet with the already somewhat weakened Greek forces in more favorable conditions at Chaeronea.

2025, A negociação do passado macedônico na polêmica de Políbio contra Teopompo

Tanto na Antiguidade como hoje, memória e historiografia são formas indissociáveis da relação humana com o passado. Políbio (c. 200 – c. 117 A.E.C.), enquanto membro da elite da Confederação Aqueia, precisava avaliar as formas de dependência em um contexto de transição do império macedônico para o romano. Partindo da análise da polêmica em que Políbio aproxima Tucídides e Teopompo (Histórias, VIII, 11, 3), trabalhamos a hipótese de que o seu objetivo com a distinção entre uma “história dos gregos” e uma “história de Filipe II” era o de negociar o passado macedônico. Para tanto, compreendemos que o autor deveria lidar tanto com os constrangimentos da memória como com os das historiografias helenísticas.
