This volume examines cinematic representations of ancient Greek women from the realms of myth and history. It discusses how these female figures were resurrected on the big screen by different filmmakers during different historical moments, and were therefore embedded within a narrative which served various purposes.

A fresh appreciation of the pivotal role of Spartan strategy and tactics in the defeat of the mightiest empire of the ancient world More than 2500 years ago a confederation of small Greek city-states defeated the invading armies of Persia, the most powerful empire in the world. In this meticulously researched study, historian Paul Rahe argues that Sparta was responsible for the initial establishment of the Hellenic defensive coalition and was, in fact, the most essential player in its ultimate victory. Drawing from an impressive range of ancient sources, including Herodotus and Plutarch, the author veers from the traditional Atheno-centric view of the Greco-Persian Wars to examine from a Spartan perspective the grand strategy that halted the Persian juggernaut. Rahe provides a fascinating, detailed picture of life in Sparta circa 480 B.C., revealing how the Spartans' form of government and the regimen to which they subjected themselves instilled within them the pride, confidence, discipline, and discernment necessary to forge an alliance that would stand firm against a great empire, driven by religious fervor, that held sway over two-fifths of the human race.

Quand la Grèce rejoignit l’Europe après plus de trois siècles de domination ottomane, il lui fallut se construire une culture moderne en rapport avec l’héritage plusieurs fois millénaire dont elle restait la dépositaire. Le néohellénisme a trouvé dans l’architecture un mode d’expression privilégié, où se croisaient les attentes d’une élite internationale en mal de références classiques et la tradition toujours vivante du monde byzantin, ciment de l’identité nationale. De l’ajustement de ces ambitions dans un contexte économique et politique difficile est née une production originale, tirant de sa confrontation avec l’Occident une forme d’authenticité d’autant plus significative qu’elle était soumise à la pression constante des pays dominants. Entre identité et modernité, c’est un double projet qu’elle a poursuivi tout au cours du xixe siècle pour se situer au sein d’un univers en pleine mutation. When Greece rejoined Europe after more than three centuries of Ottoman rule, the country needed to forge a modern culture that also connected with the thousands of years of patrimony of which it was the custodian. Neo-Hellenism found in architecture a privileged mode of expression, one which brought the expectations of an international elite lacking in classical references into contact with the still living tradition of the Byzantine world, the cement of national identity. The readjustment of these ambitions in a difficult economic and political context gave birth to a highly original output, which drew out of its confrontation with the West a form of authenticity that was all the more meaningful for having been subjected to the constant pressures of dominating countries. Between identity and modernity, this dual project was pursued throughout the nineteenth century and enabled Greece to situate itself at the heart of a world in a state of constant flux.

"In Aspects of Ancient Institutions and Geography, colleagues and students honor Richard J.A. Talbert for his numerous contributions and influence on the fields of ancient history, political and social science, as well as cartography and geography. This collection of original and useful examinations is focused around the core theme of Talbert's work--how ancient individuals and groups organized their world, through their institutions and geography. The first half of the book considers institutional history in chapters on such diverse topics as the Roman Senate, Roman provincial politics and administration, healing springs, gladiators, and soldiers. Chapters on the geography of Thucydides and Alexander III, imperial geography, tracking letters and using sundials round out the second half of the book"--Provided by publisher.

This is the first general introduction to Pliny's Letters published in any language, combining close readings with broader context and adopting a fresh and innovative approach to reading the letters as an artistically structured collection. Chapter 1 traces Pliny's autobiographical narrative throughout the Letters; Chapter 2 undertakes detailed study of Book 6 as an artistic entity; while Chapter 3 sets Pliny's letters within a Roman epistolographical tradition dominated by Cicero and Seneca. Chapters 4 to 7 study thematic letter cycles within the collection, including those on Pliny's famous country villas and his relationships with Pliny the Elder and Tacitus. The final chapter focuses on the 'grand design' which unifies and structures the collection. Four detailed appendices give invaluable historical and scholarly context, including a helpful timeline for Pliny's life and career, detailed bibliographical help on over 30 popular topics in Pliny's letters and a summary of the main characters mentioned in the Letters.

The purpose and subject of this dissertation is an analysis in space-representation and perspective drawing of Roman and Campanian landscape painting to develop and reconstruct the modes of landscape recognition and spatial perception structures in the late Republic and early Empire. This aim is realized with the help of interdisciplinary methods, as the possibilities, limits and developments of perspective representation are studied on the basis of descriptive geometry, its terminology and theoretical background. Zielsetzung der Dissertationsarbeit ist es, eine erstmalige und genaue Analyse der räumlichen Darstellungsmodi und Perspektiveformen in römischen Landschaftsbildern zu erarbeiten, um ausgehend davon die Strukturen der landschaftlichen Raumerfassung und bildlichen Wiedergabe landschaftlicher Raumzusammenhänge in römischer Zeit zu rekonstruieren. Römische Landschaftsfresken aus drei Motivgruppen vom 1. Jh. v. Chr. bis ins 1. Jh. n. Chr. werden in einer chronologischen und ikonographischen Ordnung systematisiert und auf ihre perspektivischen Darstellungsmodi hin befragt. Aufgabe der Denkmäleranalyse ist es, vorherrschende Strukturen in den Formen perspektivischer Landschaftsdarstellung aufzufinden, um diese in den weiteren Kontext ihres mentalitätsgeschichtlichen Hintergrundes und die römische Darstellungstradition einzubetten.

The new mobilities paradigm has yet to have the same impact on archaeology as it has in other disciplines in the social sciences - on geography, sociology and anthropology in particular - yet mobility is fundamental to archaeology: all people move. Moving away from archaeology's traditional focus upon place or location, this volume treats mobility as a central theme in archaeology. The chapters are wide-ranging and methodological as well as theoretical, focusing on the flows of people, ideas, objects and information in the past; they also focus on archaeology's distinctiveness.
