The second volume of the Handbook describes different extractive economies in the world regions that have been outlined in the first volume. A wide range of economic actors – from kings and armies to cities and producers – are discussed within different imperial settings as well as the tools, which enabled and constrained economic outcomes. A central focus are nodes of consumption that are visible in the archaeological and textual records of royal capitals, cities, religious centers, and armies that were stationed, in some cases permanently, in imperial frontier zones. Complementary to the multipolar concentrations of consumption are the fiscal-tributary structures of the empires vis-à-vis other institutions that had the capacity to extract, mobilize, and concentrate resources and wealth. Larger volumes of state-issued coinage in various metals show the new role of coinage in taxation, local economic activities, and social practices, even where textual evidence is absent. Given the overwhelming importance of agriculture, the volume also analyses forms of agrarian development, especially around cities and in imperial frontier zones. Special consideration is given to road- and water-management systems for which there is now sufficient archaeological and documentary evidence to enable cross-disciplinary comparative research.

Leer la Biblia significa acercarse a un extraordinario patrimonio literario, cultural y religioso, que ha impregnado la historia de la humanidad. La presente obra es un reflejo del alto reconocimiento que se está dando por parte de numerosos biblistas actuales al texto de la Septuaginta, la traducción griega de la Biblia hebrea realizada en Alejandría (Egipto) en el siglo III a.C. La Septuaginta. ¿Por qué resulta actual la Biblia griega? contiene ideas y aportaciones para los estudiosos de esta traducción, pero quiere ser también un instrumento que sirva de introducción a los estudiantes de Teología, de Ciencias Religiosas y de las Facultades de Humanidades.

Alexandria Antiqua aims to catalogue the archaeological sites of Alexandria, from the records of the French Expedition (1798-99) to the present day, and to infer the urban layout and cityscape at the time of its foundation (4th century BC), and then through the successive changes which took place up to the Arab conquest (7th century AD).

In questo volume non si intende delineare un quadro esaustivo della ritrattistica privata nell’Egitto lagide, né tantomeno risolvere le innumerevoli questioni che l’argomento solleva, ma si vuole soltanto tentare una messa a punto preliminare del problema, nonché avanzare spunti di riflessione e prospettive di ricerca, che sono ampiamente suscettibili di futuri, auspicabili approfondimenti. I limiti cronologici dell’indagine coincidono con la durata del regno e si estendono pertanto dal 331 a.C., anno della fondazione di Alessandria, al 30 a.C., anno della conquista dell’Egitto da parte di Ottaviano. Il tema viene affrontato secondo un’ottica globale, facendo convergere nella discussione il maggior numero di dati possibili, ricavati tanto dalle fonti scritte che dalle fonti monumentali. Il testo si compone di quattro capitoli che sono fra loro strettamente complementari. Nel primo sono riportati, tradotti e discussi i passi degli autori antichi riguardanti ritratti, scolpiti e dipinti, che si trovavano in Egitto, esclusivamente, come si vedrà, ad Alessandria. Il secondo capitolo consta di un catalogo comprendente 33 iscrizioni, onorarie, votive e funerarie, incise su basi di statue, stele e lastre, di ciascuna delle quali si trascrive il testo greco, che viene corredato dalla traduzione e da un commento. La raccolta è frutto dello spoglio sistematico dei corpora epigrafici relativi all’Egitto tolemaico e segue un’organizzazione geografica, basata sulla provenienza delle epigrafi. Quando non diversamente indicato, le traduzioni dei testi letterari ed epigrafici sono di chi scrive. Nel terzo capitolo si passano in rassegna alcune statue, per lo più frammentarie, e una serie di teste, riconoscibili con buona probabilità come ritratti, che sono selezionate allo scopo di esemplificare le differenti tipologie ritrattistiche documentate nel regno lagide. In un capitolo conclusivo si cerca di tirare le somme di quanto è emerso dalle analisi parziali, mettendo a confronto le informazioni ricavate dal vaglio dei testi scritti con quanto è scaturito dall’esame dei monumenti, al fine di cogliere la portata, le caratteristiche, le linee di tendenza, i nessi con la tradizione locale e con il restante mondo ellenistico della ritrattistica privata di stile greco in Egitto. In questa fase si è deciso di circoscrivere la ricerca alle testimonianze provenienti dall’Egitto, senza prendere in considerazione la documentazione relativa ai territori soggetti al dominio lagide o rientranti nella sfera d’influenza del regno, dove generalmente prevalgono città di antica fondazione greca, che sono partecipi di una dimensione politica, sociale, religiosa e culturale radicalmente diversa da quella dell’Egitto, un paese connotato da una scarsissima presenza di poleis e caratterizzato dalla convivenza, in un fecondo rapporto ora di contrapposizione, ora di osmosi, tra le consuetudini elleniche e la millenaria tradizione faraonica. Infine una precisazione di natura terminologica. Come è noto, è in corso un vivace dibattito sul significato dell’aggettivo “privato” e sulla legittimità del suo utilizzo in riferimento a termini come ritratto, ritrattistica, statuaria e simili. Nel nostro caso, l’uso dell’aggettivo in senso proprio si rivela fuorviante, perché, non essendo quasi mai noti i contesti di rinvenimento, non sappiamo se un ritratto fosse destinato all’esposizione in un ambito pubblico o privato. In questa sede l’aggettivo è quindi utilizzato in maniera convenzionale, nell’accezione di “non regale”, per designare una scultura che rappresenta un individuo non appartenente alla famiglia reale.

The Ptolemaic period in Egypt (332-30 BC) is one of the most well-documented periods of the Hellenistic age: in addition to the papyrological record there are more than 600 surviving Greek and Greek/Egyptian bilingual and trilingual inscriptions, ranging from massive public monuments, such as the Rosetta Stone, to small private dedications, funerary plaques, and metrical epigrams for the deceased. This volume offers a series of detailed studies of the historical and cultural contexts of these important inscriptions and is intended to complement the multi-volume Corpus of Ptolemaic Inscriptions edition, in which the Greek and Egyptian texts will be presented together for the first time. The subjects discussed in the twelve chapters range widely across a variety of sub-disciplines, from advances in new technologies of image-capture, the juxtaposition of Greek and Egyptian elements in the layout and iconography of the monuments, and the palaeography of the Greek texts, to the history of the acquisition and study of the great bilingual decrees voted by the priests of the indigenous Egyptian cults, the introduction of Greek civic administration and communal associations in the cities and villages, and the role of the military in monumental commemoration. Particular attention is given to the role of indigenous and Greek religious institutions in Alexandria and the towns and villages of the Nile Delta and Valley, in which commemorative dedications to divinities of temples and statues by the monarchs and by private individuals are numerous and prominent. In a period shaped by the interplay between Egyptian and Greek culture, the existence of public and private inscribed monuments was a vital element of dynastic control. The unique insights offered by this thorough examination of the epigraphical landscape of Ptolemaic Egypt are invaluable to understanding the ways in which the Greek immigrant rulers and population established and reinforced their social and cultural dominance of an indigenous population which had its own long-established and traditional written and iconographic mode of public and private communication.

The papers in this volume derive from the proceedings of the nineteenth International Bronze Congress, held at the Getty Center and Villa in October 2015 in connection with the exhibition Power and Pathos: Bronze Sculpture of the Hellenistic World. The study of large-scale ancient bronzes has long focused on aspects of technology and production. Analytical work of materials, processes, and techniques has significantly enriched our understanding of the medium. Most recently, the restoration history of bronzes has established itself as a distinct area of investigation. How does this scholarship bear on the understanding of bronzes within the wider history of ancient art? How do these technical data relate to our ideas of styles and development? How has the material itself affected ancient and modern perceptions of form, value, and status of works of art? www.getty.edu/publications/artistryinbronze

The aim of this book is to explore the definition(s) of ‘theatre’ and ‘metatheatre’ that scholars use when studying the ancient Greek world. Although in modern languages their meaning is mostly straightforward, both concepts become problematical when applied to ancient reality. In fact, ‘theatre’ as well as ‘metatheatre’ are used in many different, sometimes even contradictory, ways by modern scholars. Through a series of papers examining questions related to ancient Greek theatre and dramatic performances of various genres the use of those two terms is problematized and put into question. Must ancient Greek theatre be reduced to what was performed in proper theatre-buildings? And is everything was performed within such buildings to be considered as ‘theatre’? How does the definition of what is considered as theatre evolve from one period to the other? As for ‘metatheatre’, the discussion revolves around the interaction between reality and fiction in dramatic pieces of all genres. The various definitions of ‘metatheatre’ are also explored and explicited by the papers gathered in this volume, as well as the question of the distinction between paratheatre (understood as paratragedy/comedy) and metatheatre. Readers will be encouraged by the diversity of approaches presented in this book to re-think their own understanding and use of ‘theatre’ and ‘metatheatre’ when examining ancient Greek reality.
