Lyric Addresses to Ancient and New Gods
Between 100 and 160 AD, Mesomedes, a Cretan court musician to Hadrian and Antoninus Pius, wrote several short lyric poems. This volume presents six of these texts, namely addresses, hymns and prayers to gods, Greek traditional divinities and »new« gods. Apart from a new edition of the Greek text, it also contains a fresh, annotated translation into English and Italian. Furthermore, the contributors provide essays offering diverse perspectives on …
Six Amuletic Gems in Ankara
Sıklıkla ihmal edilse de “büyülü amuletler” grubunun da dahil olduğu yarı değerli taşlar üzerindeki amuletler, yalnızca kişisel dini uygulamalar için değil, aynı zamanda dolaylı olarak Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi’nde Doğu Akdeniz şehirlerindeki ritüel uzmanlarının birbirleriyle olan bağlantıları noktasında da önemli kanıtlar sağlar. Bu çalışma, Anadolu’daki Türk müze ve koleksiyonlarında bulunan altı objeyi tanıtmaktadır. İki sihirli taştan biri, Is…

(Re-)modelling religious experience
Religious experience has been the topic of many different theoretical approaches. This paper starts from the premise that subjective individual experience is communicable only in terms of locally-available schemes, primarily linguistic, and thus ignores somatic signs such as ecstasy or frenzy. In the case of Greco-Roman Antiquity, this involves recourse to literary sources. The paper uses three Greek hymns of the imperial period, all of them expe…
Two Unpublished Magical Amulets in Ankara
The recent synthesis of Roman-period amulets by C. A. Faraone has highlighted the signifi-cance of such artefacts in strategies of personal and group protection and healing throughout Greek and Roman antiquity. A specific group of such amulets, on semi-precious stones en-graved with images, intercultural words of power, and special signs, was created in late-Hellenistic Egypt, but spread into the eastern Mediterranean mainly in the Roman period. …
Do the 'Vernacular’ Curse-Tablets from Italy Represent a Specific Knowledge- Practice?
A knowledge-practice can be defined as a field, or sub-field, of social action in which complex, systematised or partly-systematised knowledge forms the basis of a regular or intermittent practice. How far is such a model of knowledge applicable to the institution of writing vernacular curse-tablets in the Italian peninsula between the later Republic and the reign of Constantine I? The paper advocates abandoning the usual classificiation by suppo…

the publication of this doctoral thesis from the University of canterbury (UK) is timely. it forms part of the on-going project of Luke Lavan, director of the centre for Late Antique Archaeology at canterbury, to encourage a dialogue between those who work primarily on late-antique texts and archaeologists concerned with late-antique material culture
Egyptianism
When dealing with Isis, Serapis and the other members of the so-called ‘ gens isiaca ’, scholars have hesitated whether to emphasize their (indisputable) historico-geographic origin in the Nile valley or their (no less indisputable) character as Graeco-Roman cults. We thus find these deities referred to as ‘Egyptian’, ‘Graeco-Egyptian’, ‘Graeco-Roman’, ‘Greek’, ‘Roman’ and, again, ‘Oriental’, ‘Orientalized Roman’, and so on. Each of these definit…
A new inscribed amulet from Gerasa (Jerash)
During the 2016 campaign of the Danish-German Jerash Northwest Quarter Project, a gem was discovered in a fill layer, which had been intentionally filled in in order to close a large, well-constructed Roman-period cistern. The amuletic ring-stone considered here adds to the magic material known from Jerash. Although the gem was found out of its primary context, both the iconographic scene on the obverse and the magical inscription on the reverse …

An Umayyad period magical amulet from a domestic context in Jerash, Jordan
During the 2014 campaign of the Danish-German Northwest Quarter Project in Jerash a small metal capsule was found in a house destroyed by an earthquake in the mid-8th cent. ce. The capsule, which retained traces of textile fibres, was conserved and proved to contain a tightly-rolled strip of silver foil (lamella) which, on removal, turned out to be inscribed with letters of Semitic character. Since it could not be unfolded manually, it was submit…
Religious competence and individuality
The theme of individuality and individualisation in religious contexts in the fairly remote past is perhaps best viewed as a heuristic device whose main value, at least in the context of Graeco-Roman history, is to question the excessive dominance of a model of religious action as essentially collective, which is perhaps proximately Durkheimian but in the Classical field goes back ultimately to early scholarship on ancient Judaism. Terminology is…

Metallurgy of Bronze Used in Tools From Machu Picchu, Peru
Although the tin‐bronze artisans’ tools found at Machu Picchu appear to have been cast to their final shape, examination of their microstructures shows that they were forged and annealed. As found, the tools were broken or cracked due to poor ductility of the bronze. Rolling and annealing of samples of bronze formulated with sulphur and iron additions to replicate the metal used at Machu Picchu show that the minimum amount of deformation needed t…
