Eine der jüngeren Erkenntnisse der antiken Epigraphik besteht darin, dass Inschriften nicht nur Texte, sondern zugleich materielle Objekte sind, die ihre Wirkung durch ihre Materialität und Präsenz entfalten. Diese Einsicht hat bislang zwar zu vielen Einzelstudien geführt, die bestimmte Inschriftengruppen oder -räume fokussiert haben - sie wurde bislang aber nicht systematisch, eine größere Region und eine gesamte Epoche betreffend angewendet. Diese Lücke will Katharina Bolle füllen, indem sie sich der gewandelten Inschriftenkultur der Spätantike widmet. Mit Blick auf die italische Halbinsel werden die Phänomene dieses Wandels präzise beschrieben, analysiert und in einem weiteren historischen Rahmen erklärt. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf der materialen Beschaffenheit und der räumlichen Präsentation der Inschriften, wodurch dem textbasierten Zugriff epigraphischer Untersuchungen ein neuartiger Zugang an die Seite gestellt wird, der auch Aussagen zur antiken Wahrnehmung und Rezeption inschriftlicher Monumente zulässt. Dem in der Forschung vorherrschenden Paradigma einer im Niedergang befindlichen Inschriftenkultur der Spätantike wird so ein wesentliches differenzierteres Bild entgegengesetzt, welches das innovative und kreative Potential dieser Epoche herausarbeitet und betont. That inscriptions are not only texts but also material objects of specific materiality and presence is one of the recent central insights of ancient epigraphy. This understanding is applied here for the first time systematically, across different regions and over an entire epoch, by examining the change in the inscriptions culture in late antiquity with a view of the Italian peninsula.

In recent years, storage has come to the fore as a central aspect of ancient economies. However studies have hitherto focused on urban and military storage. Although archaeological excavations of rural granaries are numerous, their evidence has yet to be fully taken into account. Such is the ambition of Rural Granaries in Northern Gaul (Sixth Century BCE – Fourth Century CE) . Focusing on northern Gaul, this volume starts by discussing at length the possibility of quantifying storage capacities and, through them, agrarian production. Building on this first part, the second half of the book sketches the evolution of rural storage in Gaul from the Iron Age to Late Antiquity, setting firmly archaeological evidence in the historical context of the Roman Empire.

Integration in the empire under the political control of the city of Rome, her princeps, and the different authorities in the provinces and cities includes processes of inclusion and exclusion. These multifaceted processes take place at various levels in society and at different places, over a long period of time. In this volume, these processes are analysed and reflected on from different perspectives. Juridical, political, social and religious points of view are articulated, elaborating on epigraphic, literary, juridical and numismatic evidence. Notions of personal and collective identities have been linked to relevant Roman realia, so that various contents of Romanitas can be defined through contextualization.

Apuleius’ literary and philosophical fortune has been considerable since antiquity, mostly through the reception of The Golden Ass. The aim of this collection of essays is to highlight a few major aspects of this afterlife, from the High Middle Ages to early Romanticism, in the fields of literature, linguistics and philology, within a wide geographical scope. The volume gathers the proceedings of an international conference held in March 2016 at the Warburg Institute in London, in association with the Institute of Classical Studies. It includes both diachronic overviews and specific case-studies. A first series of papers focuses on The Golden Ass and its historical and geographical diffusion, from High Medieval Europe to early modern Mexico. The oriental connections of the book are also taken into account. The second part of the book examines the textual and visual destiny of Psyche’s story from the Apuleian fabula to allegorical retellings, in poetical or philosophical books and on stage. As the third series of essays indicates, the fortunes of the book led many ancient and early modern writers and translators to use it as a canonical model for reflections about the status of fiction. It also became, mostly around the beginning of the fifteenth century, a major linguistic and stylistic reference for lexicographers and neo-Latin writers : the last papers of the book deal with Renaissance polemics about ‘Apuleianism’ and the role of editors and commentators.
