Book Synopsis Bronzeworkers in the Athenian Agora by : Carol C. Mattusch
Download or read book Bronzeworkers in the Athenian Agora written by Carol C. Mattusch and published by ASCSA. This book was released on 1982 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prominence of the Temple of Hephaistos, Greek god of metalworkers, situated on a hill to the west of the Agora, reflects the esteem in which bronzeworkers were held by the Athenians. Although many of the objects these craftsmen produced have now been melted down, the statues, lamps, and vessels that remain testify to the high standards of their craftsmanship. As well as illustrating some of the surviving finished products, the author discusses the techniques used to cast bronze and the level of skill involved in producing complex metal statuary.
Book Synopsis Graffiti in the Athenian Agora by : Mabel L. Lang
Download or read book Graffiti in the Athenian Agora written by Mabel L. Lang and published by ASCSA. This book was released on 1988 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like fragments of overheard conversations, the thousands of informal inscriptions scratched and painted on potsherds, tiles, and other objects give us a unique insight into the everyday life of the Athenian Agora. Some are marks of ownership, or the notes of merchants, but many are sexual innuendos, often accompanied by graphic illustrations. Using her wide contextual knowledge, the author suggests why these scraps of sentences were written, and what they can tell us about one of the first widely literate societies.

Book Synopsis Debris from a Public Dining Place in the Athenian Agora by : Susan I. Rotroff
Download or read book Debris from a Public Dining Place in the Athenian Agora written by Susan I. Rotroff and published by ASCSA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1972 a large deposit of pottery and other finds from the mid-5th century B.C. were found in a pit just west of the Royal Stoa in the Athenian Agora. It contained many fragments of figured pottery, more than half of which were large drinking vessels. Twenty-one fragments were inscribed with a graffito known to be a mark of public ownership. The authors conclude that the pottery is refuse from one of the public dining facilities that served the magistrates of Classical Athens. The volume examines the archaeological context and chronology of the deposit and gives a detailed analysis of all the finds. A complete catalogue arranges the finds by type and in chronological order.
