This volume is the outcome of the first conference to take place on the topic of Greek baths and bathing culture, a central but hitherto neglected area in the field of ancient studies. Fifteen papers by an international group of archaeologists, art historians and ancient historians discuss Greek bathing culture from a socio-historical and cultural-anthropological perspective, resulting in a comprehensive reassessment that elucidates the sophistication of both the architecture and the culture of bathing throughout the Greek world. Individual papers examine bathing in the context of science, medicine and the cultural discourses coded in images on vases, while the majority focus on the archaeological evidence itself, as the crucial component in this reassessment that removes Greek baths from the traditional category of 'primitive predecessors' to Roman baths. From Greece and Egypt in the east, to Sicily, southern Italy and France in the west, new information from recent excavations is brought to bear on a wide range of related issues, including urban contexts, regional variations in experimental design and construction, innovations in technology, and the social meaning of the rise of bathing culture in the Hellenistic period. This better understanding of Greek baths adds a crucial element to the much debated question of the relationship between Greek and Roman bathing culture. This book also provides the first comprehensive catalog of all known Greek public baths (balaneia), including descriptions, plans and bibliographies, as a major reference tool for future comparative research on ancient bathing culture and beyond. catalog and papers combined make this a rich study of a topic of newly recognized significance in the ancient world.

"The present study evolved out of an attempt to explore the mechanisms involved in the transformation of a social practice and its spatial context from one cultural, technological and architectural system to another in a given geographical area in classical antiquity. The practice chosen was that of the bath, the two main and overlapping cultural traditions were the Greek and the Roman and the two technological traditions are termed in the present study 'before' and 'after' the hypocaust. The geographical area covered in the study is that of modern Greece with a more detailed analysis of the Peloponnese. Chapter 1 presents the description and classification of the different bathing traditions which appeared in the Greek territory before the 6th century BC, when the first relevant evidence becomes present in the archaeological record. The evolution of bath architecture in Italy, the main characteristics of the Roman bathing tradition, the spatial configuration of the bath in the Roman culture and finally the different kinds of typological classifications used by scholars are described in Chapter 2. In Chapter 3 the two basic bathing traditions which appear in Greece in classical antiquity are analyzed following the classification scheme which was described in the introductory chapter. The final chapter looks at the key issues of the Hellenization of the Roman bathing tradition, the Romanization of the bathing traditions of the Greek world and the long term evolution of the bath in antiquity are readdressed in the light of the present research."--Publisher's website.

English summary: Over the past decade the Antique and Medieval Baths of Egypt programme of the IFAO and the Balneorient group have conducted multidisciplinary studies of the collective baths and bathing culture of Egyptian societies from the 4th century BC until the Ottoman period. Following an initial volume published in 2009 that served as an introduction to the project, the present publication gathers a collection of in-depth case studies of very recently excavated baths, as well as thematic studies examining bath construction and decoration techniques, and the issue of the fuel used to heat bath buildings. This volume also contains comprehensive analyses of four significant periods of bathing practice in Egypt, namely the Ptolemaic, Roman, Late Roman/Byzantine and modern period. In addition, the book ends with four catalogues describing and illustrating all the collective baths discovered in Egypt to date (103 buildings). This collaborative work brings to completion more than a decade of fieldwork on baths and bathing in Egypt. French description: Pendant une dizaine d'annees, le programme ?Bains antiques et medievaux d'Egypte? de l'Ifao et le groupe de recherche Balneorient ont mene une serie d'etudes multidisciplinaires portant sur le bain collectif et la culture balneaire des societes egyptiennes entre le ive s. av. J.-C. et l'epoque ottomane. Apres un premier volume, publie en 2009, qui a permis de dresser un premier etat des lieux, le present livre reunit des etudes de cas portant sur des bains tres recemment mis au jour et des articles thematiques explorant la question des techniques de construction et de decoration des bains, et celle du combustible utilise pour chauffer les edifices balneaires. Il comprend aussi quatre articles de synthese sur quatre periodes majeures de la pratique du bain collectif en Egypte?: epoque ptolemaique, Haut Empire, periode romano-byzantine et enfin epoque moderne. Ils sont accompagnes de quatre catalogues decrivant et illustrant tous les bains collectifs d'Egypte decouverts a ce jour (103), presentes a la fin du volume.

In Bathing in the Roman World, Fikret Yegul examines the social and cultural aspects of one of the key Roman institutions. Guiding the reader through the customs, rituals, and activities associated with public bathing, Yegul traces the origins and development of baths and bathing customs and analyzes the sophisticated technology and architecture of bath complexes, which were among the most imposing of all Roman building types. He also examines the reception of bathing throughout the classical world and the transformation of bathing culture across three continents in Byzantine and Christian societies. The volume concludes with an epilogue on bathing and cleanliness in post-classical Europe, revealing the changes and continuities in culture that have made public bathing a viable phenomenon even in the modern era. Richly illustrated and written in an accessible manner, this book is geared to undergraduates for use in courses on Roman architecture, archaeology, civilization, and social and cultural history.

In 1897 Jacques de Morgan published a map of the Memphite necropolis, showing for the first time a pair of catacombs for mummified dogs. No further information was given and the catacombs remained largely un-investigated until the 21st century. In 2009 the Catacombs of Anubis Project was set up by Cardiff University who worked in collaboration with the Egyptian Supreme Council for Antiquities in an attempt to understand the larger of the two catacombs. This publication describes the work of the Catacombs of Anubis Project. It examines the way in which the catacomb was created and the likely phases of its development in the Late and Ptolemaic periods. The way in which the many thousands of animal mummies were procured is discussed in the light of modern faunal analysis and these results are combined with a new survey of the site to give a picture of the functioning of the cult at Saqqara. Finally, the way in which the monument may have been re-used in the post-pharaonic era is discussed. The results will be of interest to all those interested in animal mummies and in the development of catacombs as well as those concerned with the evolution of the sacred landscape of Saqqara.
