"This volume focuses on Christianity in Attica and its metropolis, Athens, from Paul's initial visit in the first century up to the closing of the philosophical schools under the reign of Justinian I in the sixth century. Underscoring the relevance of epigraphic resources and the importance of methodological sophistication in analysing especially archaeological evidence, it readdresses many questions on the basis of a larger body of evidence and aims to combine literary, epigraphic, and archaeological evidence in order to create the outlines of a narrative of the rise and development of Christianity in the area. It is the first interdisciplinary study on the local history of Christianity in the area"--

Le nom de cette revue de poétique ne relève pas seulement d'un jeu de miroir entre son support et la mythologie savante, tant exploitée par la littérature latine. Au 1er siècle av. J.-C., à Rome, le poète et critique Valerius Cato appela Dictynna une de ses œuvres, que nous avons perdue. C'est l'époque où fut composé ce poème que veut évoquer ce titre. À ce moment-là commença à se constituer et développer à Rome, une production culturelle, littéraire, scientifique et artistique, issue d'un dialogisme culturel avec la Grèce, fait de reprises, de discussions, d'adaptations, de transformations et de critiques. Les analyses et les réflexions publiées dans cette revue porteront sur la notion même de littérature (l'écriture référentielle ou réflexive, le statut de l'oeuvre dans la cité...), sur les genres littéraires (leurs définitions, leurs origines, leurs évolutions, leurs interactions...), sur les techniques narratives, sur les modes de représentation du réel (lieux communs, figures, thèmes...), sur des champs culturels comme le mythe, la religion, la morale, l'État..., ainsi que sur la réception et ses effets. Elles prendront aussi en compte les arts, la philosophie et les sciences en tant qu'instruments d'appréhension de l'homme et du monde. La relation avec la Grèce, sera envisagée non seulement diachroniquement – du point de vue des filiations – mais aussi synchroniquement – du point de vue de la coexistence d'une littérature grecque et d'une littérature latine sous l'empire.

"In this publication Fleur Kemmers gives an overview of 21st century scholarship on Roman coinage for students and scholars in the fields of ancient history and Roman archaeology. First, it addresses the study of numismatics as a discipline and the theoretical and methodological advances of the last decades. Secondly, it provides guidelines on how to consult numismatic reference works, including those available online. Recent scholarly approaches and insights in the functions of Roman coins as both vehicles of political communication and instruments for state payments are critically assessed. Furthermore, the publication reviews the evidence for a conscious monetary policy on the part of the Roman authorities. Finally, the impact of Roman expansion and imperialism on monetisation and coin use in Rome´s Empire is discussed".

Why should mathematics, the purest of sciences, have a history? Medieval mathematicians took little interest in the history of their discipline. Yet in the Renaissance the history of mathematics flourished. This book explores how Renaissance scholars recovered and reconstructed the origins of mathematics by tracing its invention in prehistoric Antiquity, its development by the Greeks, and its transmission to modern Europe via the works of Euclid, Theon and Proclus. The principal architects of this story -- the French philosopher and University of Paris reformer Peter Ramus, and his critic, the young Oxford astronomy lecturer Henry Savile - worked out diametrically opposed models for the development of the mathematical arts, models of historical progress and decline which mirrored each scholar's larger convictions about the nature of mathematical thinking, the purpose of the modern university, and the potential of the human mind. In their hands, the obscure story of mathematical history became a site of contention over some of the most pressing philosophical and pedagogical debates of the sixteenth century.
