Fama and Infamia
Tryphaina
Tryphaina was the eldest daughter of Ptolemy VIII and Cleopatra III, born around 141/0 bce . In 124 bce she was married to her cousin, the Seleucid Antiochos VIII, to whom she bore five sons and one daughter. Around 114 bce , Tryphaina's sister Cleopatra IV married Antiochos VIII's half‐brother Antiochos IX. During the war between the two half‐brothers, Cleopatra IV was captured and put to death by her sister Tryphaina; shortly thereafter Tryphai…
Marriage or Mirage? The Phantom Wedding of Cleopatra and Antony
The Queen and the Triumvir took their place upon a dais. The Queen wore a long gown of gold tissue that made her figure look even more slim and supple. A stomacher of magnificent gems encased her breasts. Upon her head was the double diadem of Upper and Lower Egypt, encircled by the sacred uraeus . . . . The Queen rose, took up a fan and tenderly fanned her Consort. Then, with the ancient golden spatula which through the centuries was used to ano…
Alexander's Veterans and the Early Wars of the Successors by Joseph Roisman
BOOK REVIEWS/COMPTES RENDUS 403 (10). Hence the book is liberally festooned with “could have,” “may have,” “might have,” “must have,” “most likely,” “probably,” “imply,” “may mean,” and the like. But such cautions come with the classicist’s territory, and indeed their absence is regretted when Carney moves outside her realm of expertise, stating as a fact the imaginative speculation that it was Caligula who imported the two statues of Arsinoë and…
Arbitration, international
The employment of disengaged third parties to settle international disputes is a phenomenon of great antiquity.
Boundary disputes
Disputes over territory have been a leading cause of interstate wars throughout history.
Polis
During the Archaic and Classical periods, the polis (“city‐state”) became the characteristic, though not the universal, primary political unit of the Greeks, and the unit on which their political philosophy was based.
Lebedos
Traditionally founded by one Andropompos or Andraimon (Strabo 14.1.3; Paus. 7.3.5), the polis of Lebedos was one of the core members of the Ionian koinon .
Treaties, Archaic and Classical Greece
International relations in Archaic and Classical Greece featured a complex network of interstate diplomacy and treaty relations.
Belonging and Isolation in the Hellenistic World
With a range of social, artistic, economic, political, and literary perspectives, the contributors provide a lively exploration of the tensions and opportunities of life in the Hellenistic Mediterranean
Roman Perspectives On Greek Diplomacy
Greek and Roman diplomatic conflicts should not be seen as all purely of one type or the other: either genuine misunderstandings or cynical exploitations of cultural differences. By the time of the Rhodian debacle in I68, the Greek world had a long history of the diplomacy of compromise and of third party intervention in disputes. The author suggests that the one Roman concept that most significantly clashed with Greek attitudes towards the diplo…
Regionalism in Hellenistic and Roman Asia Minor
La notion de région a depuis fort longtemps été un concept de base de l'analyse historique du monde grec. Cependant, ce concept n'a pas toujours été clairement défini. Les contributions de ce volume n'esquivent pas la question et s'efforcent de mettre en évidence les implications de la notion selon différentes perspectives d'analyse, en prenant pour cadre de référence l'Asie Mineure hellénistique et romaine. Qu'elles examinent la culture, le monn…
The Power of Excess
The Greco-Macedonian dynasty of the Ptolemies, which ruled Egypt from 322 until 30 BCE, established early on a practice of incestuous marriage in the royal house. This cus tom, which may have had a number of pragmatic functional pur poses, was on a more profound level symbolic of royal power. But royal incest, as practised by the Ptolemies, was only one of a larger set of behaviours, all of which were symbolic of power, and all of which were char…
The Hellenistic World
The Hellenistic World assembles fourteen new papers, by an international group of contributors, on the pivotal age between the death of Alexander the Great and Cleopatra VII. Subjects range from settlement patterns, non-Greek populations and marginal peoples, the personnel, rivalries and religious ideologies of the royal courts, and on to the wider question of the political structure of the Hellenistic world. Considerable attention is paid to the…
Asylia
In the Hellenistic period certain Greek temples and cities came to be sacred and inviolable. Asylia was the practice of declaring religious places precincts of asylum, meaning they were immune to violence and civil authority. The evidence for this phenomenon--mainly inscriptions and coins--is scattered in the published record. The material has never been collected and presented in one publication until now. Kent J. Rigsby lays out these documents…
