Abstract:This article offers a reanalysis of the ceramic assemblage from room 60, one of the pantries of the Palace of Nestor at Pylos. The study is based on the original 1966 publication by Blegen and Rawson, excavation notebooks, archive photographs, and personal investigation of the pottery recovered from that room. It is argued that a particular manufacturing technique, characteristic of a group of shapes from room 60 but distinct from the standard Mycenaean potting tradition, betrays the activity of a foreign potter. This study also demonstrates that pottery from room 60 served at least two different functions—as paraphernalia used during funerary feasts and as utensils for manufacturing perfumed oil, a crucial commodity for the Pylian economy.
摘要:本文对皮洛斯内斯特宫(Palace of Nestor at Pylos) 60号储藏室的陶瓷组合进行了重新分析。这项研究是基于1966年布莱根和罗森的原始出版物,挖掘笔记,档案照片,以及对从那个房间找到的陶器的个人调查。有人认为,一种特殊的制造技术,具有60号房间的一组形状的特征,但与标准的迈锡尼制罐传统不同,暴露了外国陶工的活动。这项研究还表明,60号房间的陶器至少有两种不同的功能——作为葬礼宴会上使用的用具,以及作为制造香油的器皿,香油是Pylian经济的重要商品。

Abstract:ABSTRACTCombining evidence from Athenian silver coins, an unpublished Agora inscription, and several accounts concerning historical figures, this article reconstructs the Athenian program of 353 b.c. whereby all of the largerdenomination silver coinage in the city was demonetized and called in for restriking as a means of raising revenue during the fiscal crisis in the aftermath of the Social War. The folded-flan technique and erratic, substandard appearance of the resulting “pi-style” coins, attestations of their hurried production in that year, were retained in all subsequent Athenian silver coinage down into the 3rd century as recognized attributes of good Athenian money.

Abstract:Of all monuments constructed or renovated in Corinth from its foundation as a Roman colony in 44 b.c. into the early 3rd century a.d., springhouses and fountains are perhaps the most evocative and elaborate. Hydraulic architecture is particularly valuable for chronicling Corinth's evolution from Roman colony among Greek neighbors to thriving capital of provincia Achaia. Architecture and sculptural adornment, donor inscriptions, and associated myths conspired to cultivate memories and shape identity, reflecting and reinvesting in the city's provincial and imperial status. While fountain design was an important medium of sociopolitical communication, the monuments were, above all, expressions of affinities and tensions felt toward the natural world and its divine stewards.

Abstract:Based on visualizations created from a new 3D model, this article reexamines IG XIV 1, the famous dedication carved on the topmost riser on the krepis of the temple of Apollo at Syracuse. The revised text presented here describes a poietes, Kleosthenes or Kleosimenes, who created equipment for the installation of the columns that rose above it. The new reading undermines the prevailing interpretation that IG XIV 1 primarily concerns financial oversight. A review of similar Archaic-period dedicatory inscriptions for buildings and sculpture, as well as the technological relationships between early Doric architecture and Aegean monumental sculpture, suggests that the text instead celebrates the construction of the gigantic colonnades around the temple.

Abstract:Agora I 5054, an inscription excavated in 1937 on the northeast slope of the Areopagus, was first published as a dedication of the Boule of the Areopagus with traces of a failed earlier version of the text. Reexamination of the stone has revealed that the inscription is a palimpsest of two successive horoi of the Bouleuterion of the Areopagus from the 5th and 4th centuries. The stone's architecture and the textual layout suggest that the inscription was built into a peribolos wall at the bouleuterion's entrance. Replacement of the older horos (ḥό̣ρ̣[ος τε̑ς (?)] β[ο]λε̑ς) with the later one (βολη̑ς ἐξ Ἀρείο πάγο) may reflect the renewed importance of the Areopagus beginning ca. mid-4th century b.c.

Abstract:The author examines the ritual uses of tripod cauldrons in Boiotian public contexts, synthesizing material, epigraphic, and literary evidence. Dedications of tripods by individuals were expressions of prominent social status. Communal dedications made in the distinctively Boiotian rite of the tripodephoria were symbolic actualizations of power relations between the dominant center and its periphery. Remains of two suntagmata of tripods at the sanctuary of the hero Ptoios at Kastraki, near Akraiphia, provide evidence for the physical ambience of the sanctuary, the form of the tripods, and the collective rites associated with the dedications.

Abstract:In addition to its impressive fortification circuit, the ancient Greek city of Mantineia was further safeguarded by a number of signal towers located along the periphery of its territory. Combining a review of the published literature with satellite reconnaissance and personal observation, this article is the first detailed architectural study and synthesis of all known Mantineian signal towers. Having examined their construction and location, and by applying viewshed analyses in the chronological and historical context of the region, it is shown how these signal towers, including two previously unknown examples, functioned together as parts of a larger defensive system built to protect both the polis and chora of Mantineia from all cardinal directions.

Abstract:ABSTRACTIn this article, the author seeks to account for the successful mobilization of the Athenians against the Thirty Tyrants in 404–403 b.c. He argues, first, that the coup of the Four Hundred would have taught Athenian democrats important lessons about mobilizing in defense of the regime; second, that the demos subsequently required all Athenians to swear the oath of Demophantos in order to increase the likelihood that, should the democracy be overthrown again, democrats would be more likely to mobilize in its defense; and third, that the swearing of the oath was in fact responsible, at least in part, for the successful mobilization against the Thirty.

Abstract:In May 2015, a University of Cincinnati team unexpectedly discovered a large stone-built tomb of Late Helladic IIA date near Tholos Tomb IV on the first day of renewed excavations at the Palace of Nestor, Pylos. Hundreds of artifacts of gold, silver, bronze, ivory, and semiprecious stones were found with the body of a single male, 30–35 years old, dubbed the “Griffin Warrior.” Many of the grave goods were manufactured in the Minoan world. Among the gold artifacts were four signet rings decorated with Minoan ritual scenes. Here we discuss the excavation of the grave, describe the rings, and consider the significance of the rings' iconography for the Mycenaeans who buried them.
摘要:2015年5月,辛辛那提大学(University of Cincinnati)的一个研究小组在皮洛斯内斯特宫(Palace of Nestor)重新发掘的第一天,意外地在Tholos墓IV附近发现了一座大型的晚期Helladic IIA石制坟墓。数百件由金、银、铜、象牙和半宝石组成的文物被发现,尸体是一名30-35岁的男性,被称为“狮鹫战士”。许多陪葬品都是在米诺斯世界制造的。在这些黄金文物中,有四枚刻有米诺斯仪式场景的图章戒指。在这里,我们讨论了坟墓的挖掘,描述了戒指,并考虑了戒指的图像对埋葬它们的迈锡尼人的意义。
