Myth and History in Ancient Persia: The Achaemenids in the Iranian Tradition
Achaemenid Administration of the Southern Levantine Coast: The View from Ashkelon
This article reassesses the evidence for the Persian administration of coastal Palestine and the role of Sidon and Tyre in resettling the coast. Recent research on the Persian levels excavated at Ashkelon has shed new light on the nature of the Phoenician reoccupation of the site after the destruction of the Philistine city in 604 bce and the development of the settlement in the following centuries. This paper examines the urban form and economic…
The Status of Gaza in the Persian Period: Imperial Dynamics, Local Agency, and Long-Distance Trade
Although Gaza was among the largest and most important cities of the southern Levant, it has played a relatively minor role in recent reassessments of the reoccupation of the Palestinian coast and its administration in the Persian period. The widely-held scholarly view that Gaza fell outside of direct Achaemenid control, in a coastal zone conceded to a confederation of Arabian tribes ruled by the king of Qedar, is a primary factor in according it…
City and Empire in the Age of the Successors: Urbanization and Social Response in the Making of the Hellenistic Kingdoms
City and Empire in the Age of the Successors: Urbanization and Social Response in the Making of the Hellenistic Kingdoms
In the chaotic decades after the death of Alexander the Great, the world of the Greek city-state became deeply embroiled in the political struggles and unremitting violence of his successors’ contest for supremacy. As these presumptive rulers turned to the practical reality of administering the territories under their control, they increasingly developed new cities by merging smaller settlements into large urban agglomerations. This practice of s…
The Basilica, Bouleuterion, and Civic Center of Ashkelon
Five seasons of excavation (2008–2012) undertaken by the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon in the area of the forum of Roman Ashkelon (ancient Askalōn), a major seaport on the southern Levantine coast, have revealed a continuous sequence of occupation and building activity from the Hellenistic to the Crusader periods. Of primary interest are two monumental Roman phases: a first-century C.E. basilical structure that housed the city’s bouleuterion a…
Agoranomoi
Agoranomoi were officials responsible for overseeing the upkeep and regulation of the Agora in Greek cities. Their duties included maintaining the order and cleanliness of the agora, imposing punishments or fines on those who violated the laws, and, in most cities, verifying weights and measures and seeing to the importation of grain supplies.
Pagasai
Pagasai was a Thessalian polis situated in the tetras (district) of Pelasgiotis at a strategic position on the western shore of the Pagasitic Gulf.
Achaia Phthiotis
Achaia Phthiotis is the name of one of the perioikic regions of Thessaly, distinct from the Thessalian tetras (district) of Phthiotis.
Agora
The agora (pl. agorai ; from ageiro : to assemble) was originally an assembly of the entire free male population of a city, as well as the physical location of that assembly. However, with the development of the Greek polis, the agora evolved into the public center of the city, serving as a political, administrative, and religious center, market, and meeting place.
