Audacis plebeia toreumata vitri
This contribution offers a new interpretation of Martial 14.94, based on the properties of glass and silver. The glass toreumata are identified as mold-blown vessels shaped like Hercules’ wooden club. Linguistic results include the discovery of an as yet unrecorded use of ardere and the conclusion that Martial does not use audax in a special sense to describe cheap glass that does not need to be handled with care. A discussion of the poem’s relat…
New Yehud Stamp Impressions from En Gedi
This paper presents six previously unpublished Yehud stamp impressions unearthed at En Gedi in the 1960s by Mazar and Dunayevsky. These, together with the three stamp impressions already published from that excavation and another one recently published from the ancient village of En Gedi, bring the total of excavated impressions to ten, making En Gedi and Jericho the only two sites in the eastern zone of the province with stamp impressions of the…

Ancient Glass in a Philological Context
This contribution aims to reach linguists and lexicographers as well as generalists and scholars concerned with editing, commenting on, and translating Greek and Latin texts mentioning glass. The article takes the form of eleven stand-alone numbered sections, each addressing individual passages in ancient authors, in the order described below, followed by discussions of the Greek words for glass (kuanos, lithos (khutê), hualos). In particular, it…

Glass Is Hot
The Crisis of Israelite Religion
Exile and Return have caused a crisis in Israelite religion. This crisis eventually gave the impetus for the emergence of Judaism. The papers in this volume, originally read at a Symposium organized by Utrecht University in April 1998, discuss the relevant aspects of this crisis and the shift from Yahwism to Judaism. The collection of papers is unique in presenting a multidimensional treatment of the problems involved. Biblical texts are read aga…
Roman Glassblowing in a Cultural Context
Commercial glassblowing dates from the beginning of Augustus' rule. This paper focuses on the impact of this novel technique on Roman society: the development of the technique, the artisans who made the glass, the merchants who marketed it, and the customers who bought and used glass vessels. The perfection of glassblowing is characterized by improvements in tools and equipment and the discovery that molten glass can be blown, a discovery that wa…
Dor (Place)
[Heb dȏr]. A city that joined the coalition led by Jabin, king of Hazor, against Joshua and the Israelites (Josh 12:23; cf. also NAPHOTH-DOR). The Canaanite city of Dor, located in the territory of the tribe of Manasseh (Judg 1:27; 1 Chr 7:29), apparently was not conquered until the time of David. H
New Evidence from Dor for the First Appearance of the Phoenicians along the Northern Coast of Israel
Recent excavations at Tel Dor, Israel (1987-1988), showed that the city of the Tjeker (a tribe of Sea Peoples), a large, well-fortified town (Stratum XII), had been destroyed violently ca. mid-11th century B. C. That destruction left a huge layer of ashes and debris. The first Israelite town was constructed, however, only at the end of that century or the beginning of the next. Two interim occupation strata (Strata XI-X and IX) yielded rare Cypri…

Phoenician Masks and Pendants
Masques, protomai et pendants d'oreilles decouverts sur la cote phenicienne et israelienne. Terre cuite. De la fin de l'Age du Bronze a l'epoque perse. Masques grotesques, ou representant un Silene barbu et moustachu| les protomai representent une figure feminine. Comme certains de ces masques datent du Bronze tardif, ils sont anterieurs a tous ceux decouverts dans les colonies puniques. L'origine de ces masques est donc purement phenicienne
A Group of Cypriot Limestone Sculptures from the Gaza Region
three limestone sculptures discusssed below (PIs. XIX-XX) were acquired in 1973 from an antiquities-dealer, and were said to have come from a site close to Gaza. Unfortunately we possess no details about the circumstance and context of the find.! All three sculptures are made in the technique: face and the sides are worked but the back is left flat, smoothed by a wide chisel ( plank shaped ). A close examination of details-eyes, nose, ears-leaves…

Audacis plebeia toreumata vitri
This contribution offers a new interpretation of Martial 14.94, based on the properties of glass and silver. The glass toreumata are identified as mold-blown vessels shaped like Hercules’ wooden club. Linguistic results include the discovery of an as yet unrecorded use of ardere and the conclusion that Martial does not use audax in a special sense to describe cheap glass that does not need to be handled with care. A discussion of the poem’s relat…
