Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As archaeologists recover the lost treasures of Alexandria, the modern world is marveling at the latter-day glory of ancient Egypt and the Greeks who ruled it from the ascension of Ptolemy I in 306 B.C. to the death of Cleopatra the Great in 30 B.C. The abundance and magnificence of royal sculptures from this period testify to the power of the Ptolemaic dynasty and its influence on Egyptian artistic traditions that even then were more than two thousand years old. In this book, Paul Edmund Stanwick undertakes the first complete study of Egyptian-style portraits of the Ptolemies. Examining one hundred and fifty sculptures from the vantage points of literary evidence, archaeology, history, religion, and stylistic development, he fully explores how they meld Egyptian and Greek cultural traditions and evoke surrounding social developments and political events. To do this, he develops a "visual vocabulary" for reading royal portraiture and discusses how the portraits helped legitimate the Ptolemies and advance their ideology. Stanwick also sheds new light on the chronology of the sculptures, giving dates to many previously undated ones and showing that others belong outside the Ptolemaic period.

Book Synopsis L'Égypte grecque et romaine by : Bernard Legras
Download or read book L'Égypte grecque et romaine written by Bernard Legras and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2004-11-17 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La conquête de l'Égypte par Alexandre le Grand en 332 avant notre ère, puis la victoire d'Octave sur Cléopâtre VII en 31 avant notre ère ont fait entrer l'Égypte dans des mondes nouveaux : le monde hellénistique, puis le monde romain. Par deux fois, ce pays dont la civilisation est pluriséculaire, va vivre une transition institutionnelle, socio-économique et culturelle avec l'arrivée de nouveaux souverains : les Ptolémées, des Macédoniens venus de Grèce du Nord, puis les empereurs de Rome. La donnée fondamentale est la mutation de la société égyptienne en une société multiculturelle. Désormais, Grecs, Égyptiens, puis Grecs, Égyptiens et Romains cohabitent sur un même territoire. Des langues, des traditions, des moeurs, des mondes religieux d'essence différente, sont contraints de se côtoyer. L'un des enjeux du travail des historiens est de déterminer la forme que prend cette rencontre entre des hommes et des femmes venus de civilisations différentes. S'agit-il d'une simple coexistence où se juxtaposent des cultures restées imperméables l'une à l'autre ? Ou bien assiste-t-on à une intégration plus ou moins poussée pouvant donner naissance à une civilisation mixte ou à de simples franges de compénétration ? Au sein d'une extraordinaire mosaïque culturelle, une vie d'une exceptionnelle richesse anime la mégapole qu'est Alexandrie, la nouvelle capitale du pays. Des figures remarquables y vivent leur destin : ainsi l'historien égyptien Manéthon, la reine grecque Cléopâtre ou le philosophe juif Philon. Bernard Legras est Professeur d'histoire grecque à l'Université de Reims. Il a publié Éducation et culture dans le monde grec, Paris, Sedes (1998, 2e éd. Armand Colin, 2002), Néotês. Recherches sur les jeunes Grecs dans l'Égypte ptolémaïque et romaine (Droz, 1999) et Lire en Égypte, d'Alexandre à l'Islam (Picard, 2002). Il a fait paraître en 2004, aux éditions Armand Colin, en collaboration avec Henri-Louis Fernoux et Jean-Baptiste Yon, Cités et royaumes de l'Orient méditerranéen, 323-55 av. J.-C. L'Égypte ptolémaïque : un royaume hellénistique. L'Égypte romaine : province d'un Empire mondial. Alexandrie : une mégapole antique. La population : les statuts juridiques et sociaux. Les institutions : le gouvernement et l'administration. Les cités grecques : institutions et vie politique. Le royaume des Ptolémées : la vie économique. L'Égypte romaine : la vie économique. L'Égypte grecque et romaine : un monde multiculturel.
Book Synopsis Les Ptolémées, derniers pharaons d'Egypte by : Violaine Vanoyeke
Download or read book Les Ptolémées, derniers pharaons d'Egypte written by Violaine Vanoyeke and published by Frédérique PATAT. This book was released on with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Ptolémées d'Alexandrie sont les derniers pharaons d'Egypte. A la mort d'Alexandre le Grand, l'empire conquis par le Macédonien est partagé entre ses différents généraux. Ptolémée Ier Sôter reçoit l'Egypte qu'Alexandre avait sauvée des griffes perses. Cette dynastie exceptionnelle et originale va, dans tous les domaines, assimiler traditions grecques et mœurs égyptiennes, puis, sous les derniers pharaons, au moment où Rome affirme sa supériorité sur l'Orient, s'ouvrir à la culture romaine. Les Ptolémées se révèlent tantôt d'excellents pharaons (Ptolémée II fit bâtir la bibliothèque et le phare d'Alexandrie, l'une des sept merveilles du monde), tantôt de piètres rois et de cruels assassins, prêts à tout pour régner. La célèbre Cléopâtre VII, femme de légende, tenta de rebâtir un empire avec l'appui de César et d'Antoine. Elle fut la dernière représentante de la dynastie. L'histoire de cette famille étonnante et mal connue qui renoua avec les habitudes des anciens pharaons est l'occasion de faire revivre le luxe et la richesse uniques d'Alexandrie, la ville la plus puissante de l'époque. Une épopée qui s'appuie sur les dernières fouilles archéologiques effectuées dans la région.
Book Synopsis Hellenizing Art in Ancient Nubia 300 B.C. - AD 250 and Its Egyptian Models by : László Török
Download or read book Hellenizing Art in Ancient Nubia 300 B.C. - AD 250 and Its Egyptian Models written by László Török and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a large body of evidence for the first time, this book offers a comprehensive treatment of Nubian architecture, sculpture, and minor arts in the period between 300 BC-AD 250. It focuses primarily on the Nubian response to the traditional pharaonic, Hellenistic/Roman, Hellenizing, and “hybrid” elements of Ptolemaic and Roman Egyptian culture. The author begins with a history of Nubian art and a critical survey of the literature on Ptolemaic and Roman Egyptian art. Special chapters are then devoted to the discussion of the Egyptian-Greek interaction in the arts of Ptolemaic Egypt, the place of Egyptian Hellenistic and Hellenizing art within the oikumene, the pluralistic visual world of Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt, as well as on the specific genre of terracotta sculpture. Utilizing examples from Meroe City and Musawwarat es Sufra, the author argues that cultural transfer from Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt to Nubia resulted in an inward-focused adaptation. Therefore, the resulting Nubian art from this period expresses only those aspects of Egyptian and Greek art that are compatible with indigenous Nubian goals.

Book excerpt: The guide described by The New York Times as "indispensable," revised and updated for 2008, fills a vital niche for expatriates and Cairenes alike who need a helping hand to organize--and enjoy--the challenges of a sojourn in Cairo. The basics of daily life--finding a flat, transporting personal goods, investigating school options for children, navigating Egypt's famous bureaucracy, and the intricacies of feeding and clothing oneself and one's family from the local market--are all detailed here. Advice gathered from a wide range of Cairo insiders, both native and foreign, gives the reader a cornucopia of current facts on prices, neighborhoods, product availability, work and business opportunities, and the dizzying range of cultural and leisure pursuits that Cairo is famous for. The format of this edition addresses the needs of independently minded tourists as well as residents by the inclusion of: an A-to-Z directory of goods, services, and interests subdivided by neighborhood; a language section on the basics of Cairene Arabic; and details on shopping and sightseeing from a resident's perspective. Cairo: The Practical Guide, now in its sixteenth edition, is the key to deciphering the complexities of living, working, and enjoying life in one of the world's most exciting and dauntingly complex mega-cities.
Book Synopsis Great Power Diplomacy in the Hellenistic World by : John D Grainger
Download or read book Great Power Diplomacy in the Hellenistic World written by John D Grainger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diplomacy is a neglected aspect of Hellenistic history, despite the fact that war and peace were the major preoccupations of the rulers of the kingdoms of the time. It becomes clear that it is possible to discern a set of accepted practices which were generally followed by the kings from the time of Alexander to the approach of Rome. The republican states were less bound by such practices, and this applies above all to Rome and Carthage. By concentrating on diplomatic institutions and processes, therefore, it is possible to gain a new insight into the relations between the kingdoms. This study investigates the making and duration of peace treaties, the purpose of so-called 'marriage alliances', the absence of summit meetings, and looks in detail at the relations between states from a diplomatic point of view, rather than only in terms of the wars they fought. The system which had emerged as a result of the personal relationships between Alexander's successors, continued in operation for at least two centuries. The intervention of Rome brought in a new great power which had no similar tradition, and the Hellenistic system crumbled therefore under Roman pressure.
Book Synopsis The Seleukid Empire of Antiochus III, 223–187 BC by : John D. Grainger
Download or read book The Seleukid Empire of Antiochus III, 223–187 BC written by John D. Grainger and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brings to life “a major figure in the Hellenistic World . . . in his own right, rather than as just another stepping stone during Rome’s rise” (HistoryOfWar.org). The second volume in John Grainger’s history of the Seleukid Empire is devoted to the reign of Antiochus III. Too often remembered only as the man who lost to the Romans at Magnesia, Antiochus is here revealed as one of the most powerful and capable rulers of the age. Having emerged from civil war in 223 as the sole survivor of the Seleukid dynasty, he shouldered the burdens of a weakened and divided realm. Though defeated by Egypt in the Fourth Syrian War, he gradually restored full control over the empire. His great Eastern campaign took Macedonian arms back to India for the first time since Alexander’s day and, returning west, he went on to conquer Thrace and finally wrest Syria from Ptolemaic control. Then came intervention in Greece and the clash with Rome leading to the defeat at Magnesia and the restrictive Peace of Apamea. Despite this, Antiochus remained ambitious, campaigning in the East again; when he died in 187 BC the empire was still one of the most powerful states in the world. “We are, Grainger says, so ‘hypnotised’ by the rise of Rome that we ignore the Seleukid and Ptolemaic interlude. His clear and fascinating account breaks this spell.”—Minerva Magazine

Book Synopsis La Cité du Logos: L’ecclésiologie de Clément d’Alexandrie et son enracinement christologique by : Léon-Ferdinand Karuhije
Download or read book La Cité du Logos: L’ecclésiologie de Clément d’Alexandrie et son enracinement christologique written by Léon-Ferdinand Karuhije and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-06-20 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clément d’Alexandrie (150-215 Ap. J.-C.) est l’un des penseurs les plus brillants des premiers siècles chrétiens. Son enseignement, tout autant pétri de la Bible que de la pensée grecque, nous révèle la nature des débats aux premières heures de l’expansion du christianisme. Ce livre aborde un sujet peu étudié à ce jour, à savoir sa pensée sur l’Église. C’est pourtant un sujet récurent de ses ouvrages, où il réfléchit longuement sur l’Église à partir de l’être et la mission du Logos divin. L’analyse du discours de Clément sur l’Église permet donc de revisiter les intuitions principales de sa christologie tout en apportant un éclairage sur sa perception de l’identité chrétienne à une époque où celle-ci est encore en construction. Clement of Alexandria (AD 150-215) is one of the most brilliant thinkers of the early Christian centuries. His teaching, steeped as much in the Bible as in Greek thought, reveals to us the nature of the debates in the early days of the expansion of Christianity. This book deals with a subject little studied to this day, namely his thoughts on the Church. Yet it is a recurring subject in his works, where he reflects at length on the Church from the point of view of the being and the mission of the divine Logos. Analysis of Clement’s discourse on the Church therefore makes it possible to revisit the main intuitions of his Christology while shedding light on his perception of Christian identity at a time when it is still under construction.
