Описание: Antioch in Syria critically reassesses this ancient city from its Seleucid foundation into Late Antiquity. Although Antioch's prominence is famous, Kristina M. Neumann newly exposes the gradations of imperial power and local agency mediated within its walls through a comprehensive study of the coins minted there and excavated throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East. Patterns revealed through digital mapping and Exploratory Data Analysis serve as a significant index of spatial politics and the policies of the different authorities making use of the city. Evaluating the coins against other historical material reveals that Antioch's status was not fixed, nor the people passive pawns for external powers. Instead, as imperial governments capitalised upon Antioch's location and amenities, the citizens developed in their own distinct identities and agency. Antioch of the Antiochians must therefore be elevated from traditional narratives and static characterisations, being studied and celebrated for the dynamic polis it was.

Описание: From fourth century BC Seleucid enclave to capital of the Roman east, Antioch on the Orontes was one of the greatest cities of antiquity, connecting east and west. This book draws on a century of archaeological fieldwork to offer a new narrative of Antioch`s origins, growth, and significance.
In the generation after Constantine the Great elevated Christianity to a dominant position in the Roman Empire, his nephew, the Emperor Julian, sought to reinstate the old gods to their former place of prominence--in the face of intense opposition from the newly powerful Christian church. In early 363 c.e., while living in Syrian Antioch, Julian redoubled his efforts to hellenize the Roman Empire by turning to an unlikely source: the Jews. With a war against Persia on the horizon, Julian thought it crucial that all Romans propitiate the true gods and gain their favor through proper practice. To convince his people, he drew on Jews, whom he characterized as Judeans, using their scriptures, institutions, practices, and heroes sometimes as sources for his program and often as models to emulate. In The Specter of the Jews, Ari Finkelstein examines Julian's writings and views on Jews as Judeans, a venerable group whose religious practices and values would help delegitimize Christianity and, surprisingly, shape a new imperial Hellenic pagan identity.
Описание: This volume reports on nearly two decades of excavation at the site of Antiochia ad Cragum in western Rough Cilicia, part of the larger Roman province of Cilicia that corresponds to the eastern half of the south coast of modern Turkey. Antiochia was eponymously named by Antiochus IV of Commagene, who founded the city around the middle of the 1st century CE while a client king of Rome. The city flourished in the high Roman empire of the 2nd and 3rd centuries, after which it gradually diminished until sputtering to an end maybe in the 12th century. No systematic excavation at the site occurred until the Antiochia ad Cragum Archaeological Research Project (ACARP) began work in 2005. Since then, excavation by a joint Turkish and American team has discovered a wide array of buildings, features, and small finds, all of which are reported on in the chapters that comprise this comprehensive interim report. Project director Michael Hoff provides an introduction to the site, including an overview of its history. Several chapters on various structures follow. Two are devoted to the Northeast Temple. Other chapters cover the odeion/bouleuterion, great bath, small bath, latrine, colonnaded street, acropolis, peristyle, tri-conch church, and fountain. In separate chapters, D. Murphy discusses the city’s water supply and H. Oniz addresses the results of the underwater survey of the harbour. There follow chapters on various features and finds: mosaics, inscriptions, ceramics and ceramic production, human remains, agricultural production, and animal bones. The contributions within this volume highlight the site’s history and its material remains, that together provide a snapshot of our current knowledge of this remarkable city, perched on the cliffs, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

In the wake of the conquests of Alexander the Great, the ancient world of the Bible--the ancient Near East--came under Greek rule, and in the land of Israel, time-old traditions met Greek culture. But with the accession of King Antiochos IV, the soft power of culture was replaced with armed conflict, and soon the Jews rebelled against their imperial masters, as recorded in the Biblical books of the Maccabees. Whereas most scholars have dismissed the biblical accounts of religious persecution and cultural clash, Sylvie Honigman combines subtle literary analysis with deep historical insight to show how their testimony can be reconciled with modern historical analysis by conversing with the biblical authors, so to speak, in their own language to understand the ways they described their experiences. Honigman contends that these stories are not mere fantasies but genuine attempts to cope with the massacre that followed the rebellion by giving it new meaning. This reading also discloses fresh political and economic factors.
