Villa Hecate Synopsis It’s the eve of 1984 and the much anticipated dystopian society predicted by Orwell has not yet materialised. Laurie McGrath is a much sought after session guitarist from Glasgow. He is married to Cate (short for the Greek goddess Hecate). Cate is a well known watercolour artist who has exhibited in the Royal Academy summer shows as well as in her native Scotland. Laurie can’t believe his luck when one of the top boy bands breaks up and its charismatic singer Brent McDonald asks him to be in his new band as they tour in Spain. A series of unexpected events quickly catapult Laurie and his artist wife Cate from the trendiness of Glasgow’s West End into a young, vibrant and newly democratic Spain. Deciding to spend a year in the Marbella area of southern Spain, the couple fortuitously find a dream home by the beach. Cate renames the house, Villa Hecate. Following the austerity of General Franco’s dictatorship, the Transition years, were a period of relative freedom and adventure both for Spain and Laurie and Cate. Laurie McGrath was born and raised in the Maryhill district of Glasgow. After studying at Glasgow University, he worked as a session guitarist through the Punk and New Wave years of the late 70s and early 80s. He recorded and toured as a session musician with many well-known groups including The Stranglers, The Damned, Elvis Costello, Ian Drury and Dr. Feelgood. The author describes himself as a poet, musician and Buddhist (though not necessarily in that order). Laurie now lives in Hastings in East Sussex with his wife Cate and their cocker spaniel.

This fast-paced novel sweeps the reader up into an amazing adventure, beginning with the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb. A cult, dedicated to the goddess Isis, will go to any lengths, including murder, to protect Egyptian antiquities from plunder by Osiris, an exclusive men’s club. Two powerful Egyptian Queens, Cleopatra and Nefertiti, are resurrected by the cult through dark magic passed down through the ages from the dawn of Egyptian civilization. As Samara and Nigel get caught up in the web of intrigue between Isis and Osiris, they begin to unravel the mysteries of the ancients as well as dark family secrets. As preordained, only one Queen will survive, with the consequence of unleashing catastrophic forces threatening the world’s very survival. In the cult’s pursuit of a mystical talisman, the Blue Scarab, the reader is taken within the sacred halls of the Vatican, revealing intrigue and cloak and daggers as diabolical as any mad Roman Emperor’s court, and back in time to the dazzling ancient civilizations of Egypt, Rome and Greece. All set against the backdrop of star crossed lovers, whose destinies have already been decided by the Fates… The novel is epic in its breadth, exploring the paradoxes of civilizations, religions and humanity’s quest for immortality. James Quinn lives in Southern California and is the author of the novel Nightshades of New Orleans and The Vampire’s Orchids. He is an attorney who enjoys writing fiction.

Children existed in ancient times as active participants in the societies in which they lived and the cultures they belonged to. Despite their various roles, and in spite of the demographic composition of ancient societies where children comprised a large percentage of the population, children are almost completely missing in many current archaeological discourses. To remedy this, The Archaeology of Childhood aims to instigate interdisciplinary dialogues between archaeologists and other disciplines on the notion of childhood and children and to develop theoretical and methodological approaches to analyze the archaeological record in order to explore and understand children and their role in the formation of past cultures. Contributors consider how the notion of childhood can be expressed in artifacts and material records and examine how childhood is described in literary and historical sources of people from different regions and cultures. While we may never be able to reconstruct every last aspect of what childhood was like in the past, this volume argues that we can certainly bring children back into archaeological thinking and research, and correct many erroneous and gender-biased interpretations.

A timely and academically-significant contribution to scholarship on community, identity, and globalization in the Roman and Hellenistic worlds Community and Identity at the Edges of the Classical World examines the construction of personal and communal identities in the ancient world, exploring how globalism, multi-culturalism, and other macro events influenced micro identities throughout the Hellenistic and Roman empires. This innovative volume discusses where contact and the sharing of ideas was occurring in the time period, and applies modern theories based on networks and communication to historical and archaeological data. A new generation of international scholars challenge traditional views of Classical history and offer original perspectives on the impact globalizing trends had on localized areas—insights that resonate with similar issues today. This singular resource presents a broad, multi-national view rarely found in western collected volumes, including Serbian, Macedonian, and Russian scholarship on the Roman Empire, as well as on Roman and Hellenistic archaeological sites in Eastern Europe. Topics include Egyptian identity in the Hellenistic world, cultural identity in Roman Greece, Romanization in Slovenia, Balkan Latin, the provincial organization of cults in Roman Britain, and Soviet studies of Roman Empire and imperialism. Serving as a synthesis of contemporary scholarship on the wider topic of identity and community, this volume: Provides an expansive materialist approach to the topic of globalization in the Roman world Examines ethnicity in the Roman empire from the viewpoint of minority populations Offers several views of metascholarship, a growing sub-discipline that compares ancient material to modern scholarship Covers a range of themes, time periods, and geographic areas not included in most western publications Community and Identity at the Edges of the Classical World is a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and graduate students examining identity and ethnicity in the ancient world, as well as for those working in multiple fields of study, from Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman historians, to the study of ethnicity, identity, and globalizing trends in time.

Roman Britain: Late Autumn AD 370 Summoning Canio to his Villa Censorini (Chedworth, Gloucestershire), Caristanius Sabinus, governor of Britannia Prima, informs him that he has been ordered to find a certain ancient figurine of the Underworld goddess Hecate, which he has reason to believe is in Canio’s possession. Canio denies that he has it, or that he ever had it – which is half-true. But Sabinus doesn’t believe him, and Canio is vulnerable to blackmail. And so, accompanied by a strange woman called Bodicca and a motherless boy calling himself Maximus, he journeys through a land slowly descending into winter, seeking a replica figurine good enough to deceive Sabinus. It may not end well.

They survived the dark. But can they trust the light? Kara Valari and Maximus Kane have been to hell and back, fighting for their love and their lives. But the path back to normal isn’t as easy as they hoped. A dormant secret in Kara’s blood has been awakened, and she needs the help of a goddess to learn its full potential—but also its hidden dangers. Shielded from the world in the magical enclave of Iremia, the lovers reunite with all the fires of their first passion. But as they bond tighter to each other, Kara learns that the underworld has targeted her family in terrifying ways, and the safe world around them starts to splinter. Unenamored by Iremia’s promises of enlightenment, Maximus unravels more of the mysteries—and the powers—that are lurking behind the scenes. But to find his and Kara’s true allies, he is forced to seek out his enemies and rewrite his thinking on good and evil. Caught in a web of gods, demons, and magic, Maximus and Kara must build stronger bridges to each other and, as a wave of deeper truths heads their way, have faith that the ramparts of their love will hold.

The recent crisis in the world of antiquities collecting has prompted scholars and the general public to pay more attention than ever before to the archaeological findspots and collecting histories of ancient artworks. This new scrutiny is applied to works currently on the market as well as to those acquired since (and despite) the 1970 UNESCO Convention, which aimed to prevent the trafficking in cultural property. When it comes to famous works that have been in major museums for many generations, however, the matter of their origins is rarely considered. Canonical pieces like the Barberini Togatus or the Fonseca bust of a Flavian lady appear in many scholarly studies and virtually every textbook on Roman art. But we have no more certainty about these works' archaeological contexts than we do about those that surface on the market today. This book argues that the current legal and ethical debates over looting, ownership and cultural property have distracted us from the epistemological problems inherent in all (ostensibly) ancient artworks lacking a known findspot, problems that should be of great concern to those who seek to understand the past through its material remains.

This book is a collection of studies about the Greek and Roman goddesses—Artemis and Diana—who ruled creatures of the wild. Although they arose separately in Greek and Roman cultures, they were often treated as equivalent. These goddesses had the power of giving birth, health and death. Diana’s temples were built at places where three roads meet, writes Servius (ad Aen. IV.511), outside the city itself, and so they were common, safe meeting places which belonged to no one but were the sites for federal councils, hosted by the goddess. Artemis was associated in particular with bears, and Diana with deer, but both were generally associated with wild animals, as well as with the different phases of life. This volume will be useful not only for researchers on this subject, but also for courses in Greek and Roman studies, mythology, history, and women’s studies.
