Book excerpt: Las obras de arte únicas provocan admiración, pero también dudas, porque se apartan de la norma, y recelos, por su excepcionalidad. Todos ellos son calificativos que cuadran con la fíbula Braganza, un broche de oro y esmalte, fechado en el siglo III a.C., que debió de pertenecer a un príncipe ibero que quiso representarse a sí mismo como héroe, desnudo, en la plenitud de la vida, con los atributos del guerrero, luchando contra un monstruo bicéfalo. La imagen es privilegio del aristócrata, para hacerse visible y respetable, para justificar su poder. La biografía más reciente de esta bellísima pieza de orfebrería helenística la sitúa, en un momento incierto del siglo XIX, en la colección de antigüedades de la familia real portuguesa de Braganza. Hacia 1950 pasa a una colección privada de Chicago. En los años setenta vuelve a Europa, donde se exhibe en Londres y Edimburgo, para ser discutida y admirada como objeto arqueológico raro, para el que los especialistas del momento no encuentran explicación; muchos de ellos la rechazan. Finalmente, en el año 2001 el Museo Británico la adquiere en subasta pública, y desde entonces forma parte de su exposición permanente. En el año 2007 la fíbula Braganza vuelve a viajar para reencontrarse con sus orígenes en la Península Ibérica. Será el motivo alrededor del que se monta la exposición "El Héroe y el Monstruo", en el Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid. Este regreso supuso dar a conocer al público español un objeto perdido de su patrimonio histórico. Porque la fíbula Braganza no es solo algo bello, sino que encierra gran cantidad de información social, económica e ideológica de nuestro remoto pasado. Para desvelar esos misterios un grupo de especialistas españoles e ingleses se reunieron e intercambiaron opiniones, dudas y certezas. El resultado es este volumen que incluye una apasionante trama de amor; un sorprendente estudio arqueométrico; el análisis de los usos y modos guerreros en la Europa del siglo III a.C.; la discusión de una escena magistral... y algún cuento maravilloso.

It is the first book to provide a full survey of the subject of forgery from a scientific basis, examining a wide range of materials and techniques." "The demand for copies, fakes and forgeries is driven by rising prices in an international marketplace. The book examines the available new technologies and ever more sophisticated forging techniques, looking at production and distribution of fraudulent artworks. The subject is exemplified by numerous internationally based case studies, some turning out not to be as conclusive as is sometimes believed." "The book is aimed at those who need to understand the available approaches to and methods of scientific and technical authentication, be they curator, collector, conservator or scientist." --Book Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carthage, the port-city in Tunisia first settled by Phoenicians from Tyre, grew to extend a competitive maritime trading empire all over the Western Mediterranean and beyond, increasingly defended by the best navy of the period. In the 6th century BC this came into confrontation with Greek colonists in Sicily, starting major wars that lasted through the 5th and 4th centuries, and involved much interaction with different Greek forces. During the 3rd century Carthage first clashed with Roman armies, and in the course of three wars that raged over Spain, Sicily and Italy the Romans suffered the greatest defeats in their early history at the hands of Hamilcar, Hannibal and Hasdrubal Barca, leading multinational armies of North Africans and Europeans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Handbook of Religions in Ancient Europe" surveys the major religious currents of Europe before Christianity - the first continental religion with hegemonic ambition - wiped out most local religions. The evidence - whether archaeological or written - is notoriously difficult to interpret, and the variety of religions documented by the sources and the range of languages used are bewildering. The "Handbook" brings together leading authorities on pre-Christian religious history to provide a state-of-the-art survey. The first section of the book covers the Prehistoric period, from the Paleolithic to the Bronze Age. The second section covers the period since writing systems began. Ranging across the Mediterranean and Northern, Celtic and Slavic Europe, the essays assess the archaeological and textual evidence. Dispersed archaeological remains and biased outside sources constitute our main sources of information, so the complex task of interpreting these traces is explained for each case. The "Handbook" also aims to highlight the plurality of religion in ancient Europe: the many ways in which it is expressed, notably in discourse, action, organization, and material culture; how it is produced and maintained by different people with different interests; how communities always connect with or disassociate from adjunct communities and how their beliefs and rituals are shaped by these relationships. The "Handbook" will be invaluable to anyone interested in ancient History and also to scholars and students of Religion, Anthropology, Archaeology, and Classical Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since early discoveries of so-called Celtic Art during the 19th century, archaeologists have mused on the origins of this major art tradition, which emerged in Europe around 500 BC. Classical influence has often been cited as the main impetus for this new and distinctive way of decorating, but although Classical and Celtic Art share certain motifs, many of the design principles behind the two styles differ fundamentally. Instead, the idea that Celtic Art shares its essential forms and themes of transformation and animism with Iron Age art from across northern Eurasia has recently gained currency, partly thanks to a move away from the study of motifs in prehistoric art and towards considerations of the contexts in which they appear. This volume explores Iron Age art at different scales and specifically considers the long-distance connections, mutual influences and shared ‘ways of seeing’ that link Celtic Art to other art traditions across northern Eurasia. It brings together 13 papers on varied subjects such as animal and human imagery, technologies of production and the design theory behind Iron Age art, balancing pan-Eurasian scale commentary with regional and site scale studies and detailed analyses of individual objects, as well as introductory and summary papers. This multi-scalar approach allows connections to be made across wide geographical areas, whilst maintaining the detail required to carry out sensitive studies of objects.

This book was released on 2022-04-06 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *The Seleucid Empire was a superpower of the Hellenistic Age, the largest and most powerful of the Successor States, and it’s army was central to the maintenance of that power. Antiochus III campaigned, generally successfully, from the Mediterranean to India, earning the sobriquet 'the Great'. Jean Charl Du Plessis has produced the most in depth study available in English devoted to the troop types, weapons and armor of Antiochus’ army. He combines the most recent historical research and latest archaeological evidence with a strong element of reconstructive archaeology, that is the making and using of replica equipment. Sections cover the regular, Hellenistic-style core of the army, the auxiliaries from across the Empire and mercenaries, as well as the terror weapons of elephants and scythed chariots. Weapons and armor considered in great detail, including, for example, useful data on the performance of slings and the wounds they could inflict, drawing on modern testing and the author’s own experience. The army’s performance in its many battles, sieges and campaigns is analysed and assessed.
