A snake-legged Dionysos from Egypt, and other divine snakes
A recent acquisition of the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities of the British Museum is a marble stele showing the apotheosis or epiphany of an anguipede Dionysos, accompanied by a child-god. I

A Barbarian Found
In 1801, British troops besieging the French-occupied city of Alexandria found a high-relief colossal statue of an oriental barbarian. It has recently been located outside the Royal Brass Foundry in Woolwich Arsenal, on the Thames in east London
Lamps from the Sacred Animal Necropolis, North Saqqara and the Monastery of Apa Antinos
Lamps from the Sacred Animal Necropolis, North Saqqara and the Monastery of apa Antinos
Some 33 lamps were recorded from the excavations of the Egypt Exploration Society at North Saqqara (1964–76). They were found in the Baboon, the Falcon and the Mother of Apis Catacombs, in the associated temple site and in the monastic establishment eventually built above the latter. Several lamps were contemporary with the primary usage of the temple and catacombs, and are of Ptolemaic and perhaps of early Roman Imperial date. Late Roman lamps c…
Report on the Excavation in the South Church at Hermopolis-Ashmunāyn (Winter 1991)
The Canephore of Arsinoe Philadelphos
Sebakh, Sherds and Survey
For at least two centuries ancient city and village mounds in Egypt have been destroyed for agricultural purposes and for the manufacture of gunpowder. It is argued that the spread of sebakh from ancient mounds to cultivated ground as fertiliser negates the utility of field survey as a technique for locating ancient habitation in Egypt
A Ghost Palaestra at Antinoopolis
A palaestra (an athletic training-ground) is shown on a recently published plan of the Roman city of Antinoopolis. It is suggested here that the structure is a nineteenth-century saltpetre factory

Photographs of Libya 2
The Editor introduces the second of an occasional series for the reproduction of early photographs of Libya. The group of photographs selected were taken in the Cyrenaica in 1894 during a visit by Herbert Weld-Blundell to assess its suitability for excavation. Photographs of a similar nature are requested for future publication
Photographs of Libya 1
The Editor introduces the first of a new occasional series for the reproduction of early photographs of Libya. The group of photographs selected were taken at Cyrene in 1860–61 during the Smith and Porcher archaeological expedition to that site

Excavations at el-Ashmunein, IV. Hermopolis Magna
Excavations at Sparta
The pottery described comes from areas of the Roman stoa that were selected by the excavators as important. Most groups contained quantities of local tiles, glazed or unglazed, and large numbers of unidentifiable body sherds. The vast majority of the pottery was locally made and is micaceous, normally very micaceous. Its normal colour is orange of various shades, but it can be a light brown; fired in a reducing atmosphere the body is grey, and th…

Crowe's Tomb at Benghazi
Many vice-consuls of Britain's imperial past found archaeological work a welcome distraction from the tedium of their official duties in remote parts of the world. Some, indeed, like Charles Newton at Mytilene and George Dennis at Palermo, Benghazi, and Smyrna, regarded the excavation and study of the antiquities of the countries in which they were based as their prime duty. Thus, Frederick H. Crowe, a predecessor of Dennis at Benghazi, wrote the…
Crowe's Tomb at Benghazi – a Postscript
This note is a sequel to an earlier article concerning a tomb discovered at Benghazi in 1860 by F. H. Crowe. Further papers relating to the discovery (including a plan of the tomb) have come to light and are published here. Additional comments can also now be advanced on some of the artifacts found in the tomb

Lamps from Tharros in the British Museum
The necropolis of the city of Tharros in Sardinia has been extremely prolific in tomb furniture, and many lamps have been found there. Over forty lamps from this site are in the collections of the British Museum. All were acquired at the same time, and most of them were said to be from tomb groups. The groups containing lamps are Tombs 1–10, 12, 16, 18–19, 22, 26, 30–31, 33, 60–63, 65–71 (the tomb numbers for the whole collection run from 1–33, 5…

Some Fresh Naukratis Joins
A large body of sherd material, especially where the sherds are small, is often usefully looked at afresh by an eye unjaded by familiarity. Recently, the extensive collection of vase fragments from Naukratis in the British Museum has been brought together for the first time since before the war, and many hundreds of unincorporated sherds have been registered (in the sequence 1965. 9–30). Ideally, the sherds should be grouped by fabrics, but for a…
