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.

[...] 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.

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.

Other studies in the volume will deal with political and social history and draw upon the material...

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...
