Zusammenfassung Die Hekatompedoninschriften (IG I3 4) gehören in verschiedener Hinsicht zu den wichtigsten Zeugnissen der spätarchaisch-frühklassischen Geschichte Athens. Der Artikel konzentriert sich auf ihre Bedeutung für die Topographie und die Baugeschichte der Akropolis, vor allem für den Tempel der Athena Polias und für die möglichen Vorgängerbauten des Parthenon. Er arbeitet die Aussagen heraus, die aus dem fragmentarischen Text selbst vor allem aus sprachlichen Gründen erschlossen werden können, und ermittelt auf diese Weise einen eigenständigen Befund. Dieser lässt sich dann mit anderen Befunden der Archäologie und Baugeschichte konfrontieren, ohne dass er von vornherein durch bestimmte Deutungen und Hypothesen von dieser Seite her (mit)bestimmt ist.

Zusammenfassung Der Tod des Ptolemaios von Mauretanien im frühen 1. Jahrhundert n. Chr. erscheint auch heute noch rätselhaft. In dieser Untersuchung soll daher neues Licht auf ein vieldiskutiertes Thema geworfen werden. Dabei wird insbesondere eine Passage in Suetons Schrift über den römischen Kaiser Caligula in den Blick genommen, der für den Tod des Ptolomaios verantwortlich gewesen sein soll. Dort wird berichtet, dass Caligula den mauretanischen König habe ermorden lassen, da dieser in einer purpurnen abolla in Rom erschienen sein und somit den Kaiser öffentlich brüskiert haben soll. In der Analyse der schriftlichen Quellen wird deutlich, dass es sich bei der abolla um eine typische Tracht hellenistisch geprägter Herrscher handelte, die von der römischen Gesellschaft als fremd konnotiert wurde. Die prestigeträchtige Farbe des Purpurs stellte eine zusätzliche Komponente einer traditionellen monarchischen Selbstdarstellung dar, die von Ptolemaios als König von Mauretanien auch so zu erwarten gewesen sein muss. Doch zeigt es sich, dass das Auftreten des Ptolemaios von Caligula vor dem Hintergrund der Spannungen der Gaetulicus-Lepidus-Verschwörung und der selbst gewählten Herrschaftskonzeption des princeps – einer expressiven Repräsentation des eigenen Ranges – missverstanden wurde. Dies führte schließlich zur drastischen Reaktion des Kaisers.

Summary This article explores how the narrow passageway along the southern shores of Lake Kopais evolved into a sacred landscape that provided space for the building of a political community among the inhabitants of ‘two Boiotias’. The Kopais corridor was a highway for the movement of people and ideas since the Late Bronze Age. Its high frequency of cult sites offered ample opportunity for the nourishing of sentiments of togetherness. The first section of this article surveys the key determinants in the relations between the two major cities on either end of the corridor, Orchomenos and Thebes, prior to the creation of their first federal union. This lays the groundwork for the second step of the analysis, when the article examines the local environment of the Kopais corridor. Revisiting its cult sites, the discussion delves into the experience of local place – each one distinct and with its own sacred aura, but lined up along a path and linked with other places. In conclusion, the findings are put in the wider context of storied environments and sacred landscapes in the Archaic Age. It will be argued that the union of the Boiotians was subject to the dynamics of sacred landscape making in the Kopais corridor, a dynamic that allowed the ethnos to relate to a space critical to its origins.

Summary The creation of the Roman Peace involved technical and quantitative developments in a particular type of political rule that produced the appropriate imperial subjects. It also involved concepts of what that pax was to be and how it was to function. These ideas, in turn, demanded new kinds of subjectivity that conflicted with the strong concepts of freedom enjoyed by the citizens of a city-state. The following essay attempts to investigate the development of the intertwining strands of subservience and peace in the middle Republic and their fruition in the transition to the Principate. The core concern is one raised by Momigliano: How did this sea change in political identity affect the mentality of the new subjects of empire?

Summary The article offers a new perspective on the organization of Diodorus Siculus’ process of writing the Bibliotheke Historike. By analyzing passage 1.4.6 and fragment 40.8 in terms of both the vocabulary used and their function within the narrative, the article argues for the interpretation that Diodorus created an extended draft of his work (hypothesis) before dividing it into individual books. This interpretation is further strengthened by the analysis of the compositional features of the Bibliotheke. The analysis of the distribution of material between the books suggests that Diodorus in general had a very good idea about the amount of space he needed for different periods. At the same time, the presence of the unfulfilled declarations concerning the missing material suggests that the division has been made before the work has been brought to completion. Proposed interpretation is also congruent with what we know about the ancient authors’ writing process. The article argues that the final division into books, taking place after the unauthorized publication of some books referred to in 40.8, constituted a defining point for the Bibliotheke as we know it. Such a perspective opens various possibilities, e.g. that after making the final division, Diodorus was no longer constrained to work in chronological order. It also opens a possibility that the Bibliotheke was not as close to being finished as it is usually assumed.
