Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: The goal of the 9th International Symposium on the Historical Geography of Ancient Times in Stuttgart, Germany was to question the range and complexity of identifying interactions between landscape and religion. The contributions of the symposium include the analysis of the creation of sacred landscapes by natural conditions and the influence of landscape elements on religious beliefs and ritual institutions. They look at interventions into the landscape for religious reasons, follow the creation of sacred landscape, and provide a collection of hitherto unknown regions of the world through their connection to familiar sacred landscapes. Phenomena such as borders and territory or spatial orientation and their significance in the cult, as well as political and economic implications, are taken into account. German text. German description: Bandbreite und Vielschichtigkeit der Wechselwirkungen zwischen Landschaft und Religion aufzuzeigen und zu hinterfragen, war das Anliegen des 9. Internationalen Kolloquiums zur Historischen Geographie des Altertums in Stuttgart. Die Beitr�ge der Kolloquiumsakten untersuchen u.a. die Pr�gung sakraler Landschaften durch naturr�umliche Gegebenheiten und den Einfluss landschaftlicher Elemente auf religi�se Vorstellungen und kultische Einrichtungen. Sie fragen, gleichsam umgekeht, nach Eingriffen in die Landschaft aus kultischen Gruenden, nach der Schaffung sakraler Landschaften - bis hin zur Vereinnahmung bislang unbekannter Weltregionen durch deren Anbindung an vertraute sakrale Landschaften. Ph�nomene wie �Grenze und Territorium' oder �r�umliche Orientierung' und deren Bedeutung im Kult finden ebenso Beruecksichtigung wie politische und �konomische Implikationen.

Download or read book Silk written by Berit Hildebrandt and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Already in Greek and Roman antiquity a vibrant series of exchange relationships existed between the Mediterranean regions and China, including the Indian subcontinents along well-defined routes we call the Silk Roads. Among the many goods that found their way from East to West and vice versa were glass, wine, spices, metals like iron, precious stones as well as textile raw materials and fabrics and silk, a luxury item that was in great demand in the Roman Empire. These collected papers connect research from different areas and disciplines dealing with exchange along the Silk Roads. These historical, philological and archaeological contributions highlight silk as a commodity, gift and tribute, and as a status symbol in varying cultural and chronological contexts between East and West, including technological aspects of silk production. The main period concerns Rome and China in antiquity, ending in the late fifth century CE, with the Roman Empire being transformed into the Byzantine Empire, while the Chinese chronology covers the Han dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Western and Eastern Jin and Sixteen Kingdoms, ending in 420 CE. In addition, both earlier and later epochs are also considered in order to gather an understanding of developments and changes in long-distance and longer-term relations that involved silk."

Download or read book Sacred Landscapes in Antiquity written by Ralph Haussler and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From generation to generation, people experience their landscapes differently. Humans depend on their natural environment: it shapes their behavior while it is often felt that deities responsible for both natural benefits and natural calamities (such as droughts, famines, floods and landslides) need to be appeased. We presume that, in many societies, lakes, rivers, rocks, mountains, caves and groves were considered sacred. Individual sites and entire landscapes are often associated with divine actions, mythical heroes and etiological myths. Throughout human history, people have also felt the need to monumentalize their sacred landscape. But this is where the similarities end as different societies had very different understandings, believes and practices. The aim of this new thematic appraisal is to scrutinize carefully our evidence and rethink our methodologies in a multi-disciplinary approach. More than 30 papers investigate diverse sacred landscapes from the Iberian peninsula and Britain in the west to China in the east. They discuss how to interpret the intricate web of ciphers and symbols in the landscape and how people might have experienced it. We see the role of performance, ritual, orality, textuality and memory in people’s sacred landscapes. A diachronic view allows us to study how landscapes were ‘rewritten’, adapted and redefined in the course of time to suit new cultural, political and religious understandings, not to mention the impact of urbanism on people’s understandings. A key question is how was the landscape manipulated, transformed and monumentalized – especially the colossal investments in monumental architecture we see in certain socio-historic contexts or the creation of an alternative humanmade, seemingly ‘non-natural’ landscape, with perfectly astronomically aligned buildings that define a cosmological order? Sacred Landscapes therefore aims to analyze the complex links between landscape, ‘religiosity’ and society, developing a dialectic framework that explores sacred landscapes across the ancient world in a dynamic, holistic, contextual and historical perspective.

Download or read book An Environmental History of Ancient Greece and Rome written by Lukas Thommen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-08 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient Greece and Rome an ambiguous relationship developed between man and nature, and this decisively determined the manner in which they treated the environment. On the one hand, nature was conceived as a space characterized and inhabited by divine powers, which deserved appropriate respect. On the other, a rationalist view emerged, according to which humans were to subdue nature using their technologies and to dispose of its resources. This book systematically describes the ways in which the Greeks and Romans intervened in the environment and thus traces the history of the tension between the exploitation of resources and the protection of nature, from early Greece to the period of late antiquity. At the same time it analyses the comprehensive opening up of the Mediterranean and the northern frontier regions, both for settlement and for economic activity. The book's level and approach make it highly accessible to students and non-specialists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its emphasis on the dynasty's concern for control of the sea – both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea – and the Nile, this book offers a new and original perspective on Ptolemaic power in a key period of Hellenistic history. Within the developing Aegean empire of the Ptolemies, the role of the navy is examined together with that of its admirals. Egypt's close relationship to Rhodes is subjected to scrutiny, as is the constant threat of piracy to the transport of goods on the Nile and by sea. Along with the trade in grain came the exchange of other products. Ptolemaic kings used their wealth for luxury ships and the dissemination of royal portraiture was accompanied by royal cult. Alexandria, the new capital of Egypt, attracted poets, scholars and even philosophers; geographical exploration by sea was a feature of the period and observations of the time enjoyed a long afterlife.

Download or read book The Local Horizon of Ancient Greek Religion written by Hans Beck and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Which dimensions of the religious experience of the ancient Greeks become tangible only if we foreground its local horizons? This book explores the manifold ways in which Greek religious beliefs and practices are encoded in and communicate with various local environments. Its individual chapters explore 'the local' in its different forms and formulations. Besides the polis perspective, they include numerous other places and locations above and below the polis-level as well as those fully or largely independent of the city-state. Overall, the local emerges as a relational concept that changes together with our understanding of the general or universal forces as they shape ancient Greek religion. The unity and diversity of ancient Greek religion becomes tangible in the manifold ways in which localizing and generalizing forces interact with each other at different times and in different places across the ancient Greek world.

Download or read book Philological and Historical Commentary on Ammianus Marcellinus XXVIII written by Jan den Boeft and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-11-25 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Book 28 Ammianus describes the military activity of Valentinian on the Rhine. The historian speaks with admiration about his efforts to strengthen the northwestern border of the empire. He shows a similar esteem for the general Theodosius, who re-established order in Britain. However, in the greater part of Book 28 there is an air of gloom. Ammianus writes reluctantly about the judicial terror inflicted on the Roman aristocracy by powerful magistrates. In his digression about Roman manners he speaks with contempt about the senatorial elite and the Roman plebs, because they fail to live up to the standards of their ancestors. The final chapter illustrates the disastrous effects of the mismanagement of the province of Tripolis by corrupt officials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Early Christianity in the Lycus Valley, Ulrich Huttner explores the way Christians established communities and defined their position within their surroundings from the first to the fifth centuries. He shows that since the time of Paul the apostle, the cities Colossae, Hierapolis and Laodicea allowed Christians to expand and develop in their own way. Huttner uses a wide variety of sources, not only Christian texts - from Pauline letters to Byzantine hagiographies - but also inscriptions and archeological remains, to reconstruct the religious conflicts as well as cooperation between Christians, Jews and Pagans. The book reveals the importance of local conditions in the development of Early Christianity.
