Η Βέροια είναι μια χαμένη πολιτεία. Η μεγάλη της τιμή, ότι είναι δηλαδή ένα από τα συνεχώς κατοικούμενα αστικά κέντρα της Μακεδονίας -και μάλιστα με απαράλλακτο το όνομά της- είναι και η μεγάλη της ατυχία. Οι διαδεχόμενες η μία την άλλη γενεές βύθισαν την αρχαία πόλη κάτω από νεώτερα κτίσματα, έως ότου επί των ημερών μας ωκεανοί τσιμέντου και ασφάλτου ολοκλήρωσαν τον αφανισμό της. Εν τούτοις η αρχαία Βέροια κάπου εξακολουθεί να υφίσταται και αναδύεται κατά καιρούς συμπτωματικά, όταν οι σιαγόνες των εκσκαφέων ανατρέπουν πλάκες αρχαίου οδοστρώματος, συνθλίβουν κερκίδες αρχαίο...

The subject of the study is three Roman provincial coin hoards, which were unearthed during excavations conducted by the Univercity of Thessalonike at the site of Dion in Macedonia in the years 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Their concealment in the same area, as well as their very similar contents and burial date, indicate that the three finds are clearly related nad they are therefore discussed here as a whole. Their interest lies both in the secure archaeological context from which they derive and in the large number of coins they include, something that is very unu...

The present volume offers a partial presentation of research that has been prosecuted, in one form or another, over the past decade and more. Some early, misguided ideas about the relationship between Hellenism and the Umayyads as manifest in the paintings of Qusayr Arma appeared in chapter 6 of Garth Fowden, "Empire to commonwealth: Consequences of monotheism in late antiquity (1993); while in chapter 6 of "The Barbarian Plain: Saint Sergius between Rome and Iran" (1999), Elisabeth Key Fowden looked at the relationship between Christianity and Islam in Umayyad al Rusafa. A...

[...] Harikleia Papageorgiaou's book, "The numismatic iconography of the roman colonies in Greece: Local spirit and the expression of emperial policy", succefully and penetratingly fills a gap that existed in both the Greek and the inetrnational bibliography. During recent decades a number of important studies have been devoted to the coinage of the Greek cities after conquest. What was lacking was an investigation specifically of the numismatic iconography of the Roman colonies that were founded in Greece, comparable to that devoted to the cities of Asia Minor by professo...

This volume, which contains the onomastic material from Messenia and Sparta sees the light of day exactly three years after the publication of the preceding volume, which contained the Roman names from Eleia, Achaea, Corinthia, the Argolida and Arcadia. A third volumes is projected; this will contain a collection of studies, some of which will be directly concerned with the typology of Roman onomastic formulations and the multiple forms in witch they appear in the Greek word. Other studies in the volume will deal with political and social history and draw upon the material...

This utterance of an art historian is not forwarded for rhetoric reasons. It states the basic characteristic of the term found in the epicenter of the current volume: the dual character of the term "landscape" which signifies a place, as it exists, and at the same time it signifies the essence of a place, in the way that this place is represented in the form of art, literature, sound and dealing with the landscape in its tangible dimension, as a subject of scientific approach in terms of town planning, archeology, geography, geology or otherwise. Bibliography also considers...

The project on Weight and Value deals mainly with metrology and trade in the Bronze Age in relation to societies in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Near East whose economies were at the time in a pre-coinage stage. Although the main thrust of the project was and is the metrology and economy in the Aegean era, it employs documentation from Egypt and the Near East, necessary to the understanding of the main theme.

Το "Σύνταγμα" των Επιγραφών της Θράκης του Αιγαίου δεν αποτελεί αυτοσκοπό, αλλά ένα "εργαλείο" για την καλύτερη μελέτη της ιστορίας ενός σημαντικού τμήματος του Ελληνισμού στο σημείο συναντήσεως και διασταυρώσεως με πλειάδα λαών και πολιτισμών, των οποίων οι τύχες συνδέθηκαν με την αρχαία Θράκη. Φιλοδοξία και ευχή όλων των φορέων που συνεργάσθηκαν για την ολοκλήρωσή του είναι να αποτελέσει την αφετηρία διαρκούς και γόνιμης συνεργασίας και να συμβάλει στην συστηματική διεύρυνση και ανάπτυξη της έρευνας στην περιοχή.

After a period of almost ten year of hard but very satisfying work I feel a great relief to present to the public in this volume the Greek Inscriptions from Ghor es-Safi (Byzantine Zoora). The Greek inscriptions cover 90% of all the inscriptions recorded till now. The remaining 10% are Jewish-Aramaic and will appear in a separate volume in the future. All these unpublished inscriptions belong to the 4th-6th centuries AD and are products of illicit excavations in the area during the last 20 years. (Από τον πρόλογο του βιβλίου)

Le plaisir que l'on eprouve a presenter au public un livre comme celui de Hariclia Brecoulaki vient de ce qu'il est a la fois tres attendu - en raison de l'aura qui entoure a priori son objet - et completement nouveau par la maniere dont celui-ci y est aborde. La double formation de l'auteur, qui l'a progressivement menee de la conservation-restauration a l' archeologie historique, lui a en effet tres vite assure dans la recherche sur la peinture antique une position originale, la conduisant a etendre ses investigations hors du domaine grec, notamment dans l'Italie preromai...
