‘He had thoughtlessly accepted certain gifts’
It has been highlighted many times how difficult it is to draw a boundary between gift and bribe, and how the same transfer can be interpreted in different ways according to the position of the observer and the narrative frame into which it is inserted. This also applied of course to Ancient Rome; in both the Republic and Principate lawgivers tried to define the limits of acceptable transfers and thus also to identify what we might call ‘corrupti…
Discursive Constructions of Corruption in Ancient Rome
Problemas y desafíos de la investigación histórica sobre la corrupción. La República romana
El artículo analiza la corrupción como un fenómeno complejo y con frecuencia ambiguo, relacionado con comportamientos y mentalidades individuales y colectivas, que son percibidos como ilegítimos o inmorales y, por lo tanto, desviados de normas establecidas. Más allá de un acercamiento reduccionista u objetivista a lugares comunes de la corrupción política, o a delitos tipificados por la ley, esta contribución pretende destacar la relevancia del a…
Fremde Religion in Herodots „Historien“. Religiöse Mehrdimensionalität bei Persern und Ägyptern
Appare sempre sorprendente come un autore come Erodoto possa, nonostante l’inquantificabile mole di studi dedicata alla sua opera, dare vita ancora e sempre a nuove pubblicazioni che sviluppano prospettive di ricerca originali e nuove letture delle Storie, al livello di singoli passi, di libri individuali o dell’opera nel suo complesso. Anche il tema della religione in Erodoto, trattato più nello specifico dal volume qui recensito, è stato oggett…
Theme Park Imitations
Theme parks frequently draw not only on historical themes, from antiquity to the roaring twenties, but also on their own history – that is, the history of the medium of the theme park itself. This article uses the example of the Happy World ride at Happy Valley Beijing (China) to discuss theme park imitations, that is, the fact that theme parks frequently borrow individual elements (themes, technologies, visuals, layouts, names) and/or entire uni…

Geographies of Myth and Places of Identity
Turning to a region of South Italy associated with Greater Greece and the geographies of Homer’s Odyssey, Marco Benoît Carbone delivers a historical and ethnographic treatment of how places defined in public imagination and media by their associated histories become sites of memory and identity, as their landscape and mythologies turn into insignia of a romanticised antiquity. For the ancient Greeks, Homer had set the marine monsters of the Odyss…
Reception of Cleopatra in the Age of Mass Media
This study examines the reception of Cleopatra from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day as it has been reflected in popular culture in the United States of America. Daugherty provides a broad overview of the influence of the Egyptian queen by looking at her presence in film, novels, comics, cartoons, TV shows, music, advertising and toys. The aim of the book is to show the different ways in which the figure of Cleopatra was able …
Stephen L. Dyson, Archaeology, ideology and urbanism in Rome from the grand tour to Berlusconi
Research in the history of archaeology, its connections with political authority and its role in shaping identities and cultural memory has been blossoming for more than two decades now; yet the possible topics and angles for further research are far from being exhausted. The author of this monograph is not new to this kind of studies, as he is the author, among other publications, of Ancient Marbles to American Shores. Classical Archaeology in t…
Ein Schierlingsbecher oder ein Sprung ins Barathron? Hinrichtungsformen im klassischen Athen
Der Aufsatz behandelt die drei unterschiedlichen Hinrichtungsformen, die im 5. und 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. in Athen angedroht wurden: apotympanismós , Sturz ins Barathron und Schierling. Eine solche Untersuchung verspricht reichen Aufschluss über die demokratische Ideologie, die entsprechenden Diskurse und ihre stetige Verstärkung durch Prozesse und Bestrafungen. Der Aufsatz vertritt dabei die These, dass eine chronologische Analyse dieser Hinrich…
Ancient Greece and Rome in Videogames
This volume presents an original framework for the study of video games that use visual materials and narrative conventions from ancient Greece and Rome. It focuses on the culturally rich continuum of ancient Greek and Roman games, treating them not just as representations, but as functional interactive products that require the player to interpret, communicate with and alter them. Tracking the movement of such concepts across different media, th…

Representations of Classical Greece in Theme Parks
Theme park studies is a growing field in social and cultural studies. Nonetheless, until now little attention has been dedicated to the choice of the themes represented in the parks and the strategies of their representation. This is particularly interesting when the theme is a historical one, for example ancient Greece. Which elements of classical Greece find their way into a theme park and how are they chosen and represented? What is the "enter…
Thinking through the Ancient World
This chapter focuses on selected movies representing Late Antiquity as the period of the triumph of Christianity, from the last, Great Persecution to the 'institutionalization' of the Christian faith as 'state religion'. It shows how this topic, with its evolutions and shifts, represents a litmus of modern debates about religion and its public role, against the background of the secularization of Western society and of the very vigorous debates w…
The "Birth" of Italy
Scholarship has widely debated the question about the existence of an 'Italian identity' in the time of the Roman Republic, basing on the few sources available and on the outcomes of the Augustan and imperial age. In this sense, this debate has for a long time been conducted without sufficient imput from social sciences, and particularly from social geography, which has developed methodologies and models for the investigation of identities. This …
Murder Among Relatives
This article provides a thorough analysis of two Roman institutions: the vitae necisque potestas and the regulation of parricidium . Moving from the traditional interpretations of these institutions, connected to a supposedly very high degree of violence inside Roman families, the article demonstrates that they were no relicts of an “archaic” society, but a specific historical formation, connected with the “cultural revolution” of the third and s…

Animals, Greece and Rome
Animals played an important role in antiquity from a variety of perspectives.
Wheat
Wheat (Greek pyros/sitos , Latin triticum/frumentum ) was cultivated in Mesopotamia from the eighth millennium BCE onwards and appeared in Greece by the beginning of the Neolithic period.
Saltus
The Latin word saltus indicates, in its broader sense and particularly in historical texts, uncultivated areas, such as woods, mountain areas, and impracticable places (e.g., Livy 10.24.6). But a more specialized meaning is also attested, indicating private properties mainly used for pasture (Varro Ling . 5.36; Ov. Fast . 5.282–9), or places where extensive animal rearing occurs ( pastio agrestis : Varro Rust . 3.1.8), and so where shepherds and …
Emmer
Emmer (Greek zeia or olyra , Latin far ), a kind of wheat, was cultivated in Mesopotamia by the seventh millennium BCE , and during the sixth millennium became the main cereal crop in that region.
Fowling
Fowling (Greek ixeutike or ornithothera, Latin aucupium ) was widely practiced in the ancient world, to hunt any birds, big (cranes in Verg. G . 1.307) and small, which were then mostly eaten: pictorial representations are to be found already in Egyptian art.

Cattle
Cattle breeding was in the ancient world generally practiced extensively on open pastureland rather than on private estates (e.g., Arist. Hist. an . 572b says that bulls can disappear for long times).
Fish, fishing, Greece and Rome
Fishing was an important economic activity in the Classical world.
Winnowing
Winnowing is the action of separating grain from chaff and legumes from husks. The simplest way is leaving the grain exposed to the wind, which blows away the chaff (Colum. 2.20.5). But different kinds of winnowing‐fans were used to make the process faster. One was a sort of basket (Latin vannus , Greek liknon ) which was shaken to bring the chaff towards a shallow end and let it fall down (e.g., Arist. Met . 368b; Xen. Oec . 18.6–8). Another was…
Wood and woodworking
Wood was one of the most important and widespread materials in the ancient world.
Donkey, mule
Donkeys were widespread in the Near East in the fourth millennium BCE (in particular they played a very important role in Egypt), and reached Greece by the late third millennium: they are attested in Mycenaean and Late Minoan settlements.
Birds, Greece and Rome
Birds played an important role in the Classical world.
Pastoralism
Pastoralism is an ideal type that has never existed in pure form.
Drought
The Mediterranean area shows much regional climatic variability and interannual change. Theophrastus refers twice to the proverbial saying “it is the year, and not the field, that bears” ( Hist. pl . 8.7.6; Caus. pl . 3.23.4).
Autourgia
Autourgia refers to personal labor as opposed to slave and dependent labor. A person working in this way is thus an autourgos and the corresponding verb is autourgeo .
Horses, Greece and Rome
Horses (Greek hippos , Latin equus ) in Classical Antiquity were known and reared in different breeds, coming from different regions of Europe and Africa.
Goats
Goats were bred to produce meat, milk, and hides. Goat milk, almost absent in Pharaonic Egypt, in the Greco–Roman world was regarded as the best one (Plin. HN 28.123–4), and was used to produce cheese (Columella 7.8).
Dry‐farming
Dry‐farming is a set of agricultural practices used to cultivate land which receives only a limited amount of rainfall (e.g., under 250 mm/year).
