  • Religions of Ancient South Arabia From Polytheism to Monotheism in the Context of Political, Economic and Social Evolutions (Fourth–Sixth Centuries ce )

    Open AccessIwona GajdaARTICLEArabian archaeology and epigraphy2026

    The religions of South Arabia underwent major changes between the fourth and early seventh centuries. At the beginning of the fourth century, all the territories of ancient South Arabia were unified: the Ḥimyarite kings succeeded in unifying three ancient kingdoms, Ḥimyar, Sabaʾ and Ḥaḍramawt. A common language, the Sabaic, and a common era were adopted. As far as religion was concerned, the unity was more difficult to achieve. The Ḥimyarite king…

  • Inscription dédicatoire d’un roi de Kaminahū, Arabie du Sud

    Iwona Gajda, Mounir ArbachARTICLESemitica et Classica2022

    The royal inscription published here is added to the small corpus of inscriptions from the city-state of Kaminahū (the modern site of Kamna in the Jawf region of Yemen). The author’s name, Dhamarkarib Riyām son of Ilīsamiʿ, king of Kaninahū, appears in other inscriptions, and it is probably the same ruler. This dedicatory inscription, commemorating the construction of a sanctuary, evokes the alliance (the “brotherhood”) with Sumhūʿalī, king of Sh…

  • Networked spaces

    Open AccessAli Mohamed Abdelrahman, Deresse Ayenachew et al.BOOKNetworked spaces2022

    The 34 articles published in this volume form the proceedings of the 9th Red Sea conference held at Lyon in July 2019, whose core topic was the “spatiality of networks in the Red Sea”, including the western Indian Ocean. In the networked space that the Erythra Thalassa never ceased to be, stable factors such as landscape, climate, and wind patterns have been constantly entangled with more dynamic elements, such as human activity. The contributors…

  • Sabaeans on the Somali coast

    Open AccessAlessia Prioletta, Christian Julien Robin et al.ARTICLEArabian archaeology and epigraphy2021Cited by: 2References: 9

    In 2019, the illegal excavation of an ancient sanctuary on the Somali coast yielded monumental Sabaic inscriptions from approximately the eighth–seventh centuries BCE. The inscriptions, similar in content and script, have shed light on their authors’ origin (Sabaeans presumably from Maʾrib in Yemen), on the location’s cultic nature, and more broadly on Sabaean endeavours to establish an ambitious trade network in the first half of the first mille…

  • Prospections archéologiques dans la région de Meqele et les contreforts orientaux du Tigray

    Fabienne Dugast, Iwona GajdaARTICLEAnnales d Ethiopie2014

    Short archaeological survey in the area of Meqele and the eastern edge of the highlands in Tigray region Since the 1970s, the so-called “ pre-Aksumite” civilisation and Aksum have been much under discussion since the development of culture in the Ethiopian highlands appears to be, even now, the subject of much debate. What role did Aksum play, when did it emerge to prominence, and what were its relations with other societies and cultures ? And ab…

  • Monothéisme en Arabie du Sud préislamique

    Open AccessIwona GajdaARTICLEChroniques yéménites2002

    A la fin du IVe siècle de l'ère chrétienne, l'Arabie du Sud abandonne les cultes polythéistes et adopte le monothéisme. Dès lors, les inscriptions monothéistes se multiplient. Un certain nombre d'entre elles sont juives ou judaïsantes alors qu'aucune inscription royale n'est explicitement juive. Cet article présente une courte synthèse de nos connaissances sur le monothéisme en Arabie du Sud avant l'islam. L'accent est mis sur la dimension politi…

  • La plus ancienne inscription sudarabique datée d’après une ère et autres inscriptions rupestres de la région d’al-Bayḍāʾ

    Mounir Arbach, Iwona GajdaARTICLESyria2002

    Around the turn of the Christian era, the new political powers in the South Arabian Highlands, Himyar, Madhī and Radmān, adopted a dating system based on era instead of the ancient dating by eponym. Between the first and the third centuries AD, three dating systems were used simultaneously. The South Arabic inscriptions, known to us, dated according to era, are no earlier than the middle of the second century AD. The new inscription MQ-Hasī 8 dat…
