EN QUÊTE DE POUVOIR De Rome à Lugdunum
Snoeck / Musée Lugdunum, 2021. HB, 280 x 230 mm, 224 pages, 320 illustraties, Texte en Francais Exhibition catalogue. ISBN: 9789461616876
Prolongeant les thèmes de l'exposition « EnQuête de pouvoir. De Rome à Lugdunum », ce catalogue montre comment, à la fin du Ier siècle av. J.-C., Auguste a fondé un régime politique original : le Principat. Unique en son genre, celui-ci combine. La restauration des institutions traditionnelles de la res publica avec l'affirmation d'un pouvoir d'essence monarchique détenu par un prince, le premier des citoyens, celui que nous appelons empereur. Le Principat ne prévoit toutefois dans le droit aucun schéma fixe de succession héréditaire, ce qui fait naître le danger d'une guerre civile. L'exemple des affrontements de 193-197, qui suivirent la mort de Commode et s'achevèrent par la bataille de Lyon le 19 février 197, illustre la nécessité pour l'empereur d'établir un consensus entre les principales couches sociales : armée, Sénat, peuple romain, élites provinciales et chevaliers. Les textes de cet ouvrage, issus de contributions d'historiens et d'archéologues, et nourris des avancées scientifiques les plus récentes, invitent à découvrir les rouages du pouvoir dans l'Empire romain à travers l'analyse des mécanismes de la succession dynastique et de l'usurpation.

De dubbele waterput uit het laat-Romeinse castellum van Oudenburg (prov. West-Vlaanderen): tafonomie, chronologie en interpretatie (Sofie Vanhoutte et al.). Tijdens archeologisch onderzoek van het Romeinse castellum van Oudenburg, door een team onder leiding van VIOE-archeoloog Sofie Vanhoutte (zie ook Relicta 3), kwam een heel opmerkelijke structuur aan het licht: een goed bewaarde ?dubbele? waterput. Dubbel, omdat hij bestaat uit twee vierkante houten bekistingen. De eerste werd gevormd door een constructie van ongeveer 3 bij 3 meter. Later raakte die in onbruik en plaatste men een nieuwe, kleinere bekisting midden in de oude. De vulling van de ruimte tussen beide bekistingen bleek te bestaan uit intentioneel aangelegde lagen van zand, klei en goed bewaard mos. Nadat de kampbewoners ook de tweede waterput hadden opgegeven, gebruikten ze hem nog om afval in te deponeren. De merkwaardige dubbele constructie en haar inhoud werden onderzocht door een internationaal en interdisciplinair team. Met dit uitvoerige artikel worden de resultaten van dat onderzoek op zeer gedetailleerde wijze bekendgemaakt. Een interessante plantenlijst uit 1791 van de Engelse tuinen van kasteel Hex (Heers, Heks, prov. Limburg): een historisch-botanische en cultuurhistorische analyse (Paul Van den Bremt). In het huisarchief van het kasteel van Hex werd een plantenlijst van de verdwenen Engelse tuinen aangetroffen. Het bleek een vrij recente transcriptie te zijn van een document uit 1791. De planten, afkomstig uit alle windstreken, staan erin vermeld met hun toenmalige wetenschappelijke naam en hun Franse soortnaam. In dit artikel bespreekt VIOE-erfgoedonderzoeker Paul Van den Bremt (VIOE) systematisch de 285 nummers, verdeeld over 240 taxa op vier verschillende plekken in de tuin. Ondanks nogal wat fouten van de anonieme kopiist slaagde hij erin de meeste plantensoorten te identificeren. Van elke soort geeft hij de huidige wetenschappelijke naam en bespreekt hij het natuurlijke verspreidingsgebied. De auteur toetste ook de samenstelling van de lijst aan verscheidene contemporaine bronnen. Ook ging hij op zoek naar de oudste vermelding van de soorten in de botanische literatuur, om te achterhalen wanneer zij in de horticultuur geintroduceerd zijn

Amuq-Terrakotten. Untersuchungen zu den Terrakotta-Figuren des 2. und 1. Jahrtausends v. Chr. aus den Grabungen des Oriental Institute Chicago in der Amuq-Ebene
Brepols, 2010. Paperback, VI 469 p., 639 b/w ill., 210 x 295 mm, 2010. New. ISBN: 9782503535272
This volume presents 569 objects of baked clay from three sites in the Amuq Plain (southern Turkey). They were excavated in the 1930ies by a team from the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, directed by Robert J. Braidwood. Most of them were never published before. Their dates range from the late 3rd millennium BC until the Hellenistic period. The terra-cottas are presented in a catalogue, but also set in a frame of their cultural and artistic background. This book is thus not only a publication of material from the Amuq excavations, but also a history of 2nd and 1st millennium terra-cotta production in ancient Syria. The study of these figurines highlights the extent and limitations of iconographic influences from abroad and proves the continuity of images and beliefs across the borders of cultural periods.

"...When considering the present book, one must bear in mind the dispersion of the documentation it considers, largerly unpublished material. After all, one of the most intriguing aspects of research, is the reevalutation of existing documentation. This sometimes rather tedious job becomes, in this case, real detective work. Searches for documents scattered in several countries, in countless archives, and in several languages, turns into a fascinating inquiry into the nature of past research, one that leads to a new understanding of the monument itself." (fomr foreword by Miljenko Jurkovic) "L'extreme complexite du dossier de l'eglise cathedrale de Porec, l'insuffisance des rapports publies, souvent dans des revues peu accesibles, leur dispersion liee a la diversite des intervenants et des administrations, l'importance de certains des documents retrouves justifient amplement la recherche et la publication. Il sera aussi un precieux temoin d'un passe, somme toute prestigieux, de l'archeologie de l'Istrie." (reviewer Noel Duval). Languages : English.

Architectural Elements, Wall Paintings, and Mosaics. Final Publications from the Danish-German Jerash Northwest Quarter Project IV
Brepols, 2022. Paperback, 2 vols, xiv + 446 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:371 b/w, 842 col., 15 tables b/w., 1 tables col., 3 maps color, Language: English. ISBN: 9782503596662
Summary The Decapolis city of Jerash has long attracted attention from travellers and scholars, due both to the longevity of the site and the remarkable finds uncovered during successive phases of excavation that have taken place from 1902 onwards. Between 2011 and 2016, a Danish-German team, led by the universities of Aarhus and Münster, focused their attention on the Northwest Quarter of Jerash ? the highest point within the walled city ? and this is the fourth in a series of books presenting the team's final results. This two-part set offers a comprehensive presentation of Jerash's rich building heritage from the Late Hellenistic period up to the city's destruction in the mid-eighth century ad through a discussion of architectural elements, together with analysis of the mosaics, wall paintings, and building ceramics excavated from the Northwest Quarter. As well as providing a general overview of the city's changing patterns of habitation, the contributions gathered here also include close case- studies and object biographies that shed new light on the intense use, reuse, and recycling of materials that testify to evolving urban practices and optimization of resources across the Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic periods.

Byzantine and Umayyad Jerash Reconsidered. Transitions, Transformations, Continuities
Brepols, 2019. Hardback, xvi + 293 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:147 b/w, 8 col., 24 tables b/w., Languages: English, French. ISBN: 9782503580241
Summary While the city of Gerasa - modern-day Jerash - is perhaps best known for the impressive remains left by its Roman inhabitants, the Byzantine and Umayyad periods (fifth-eighth centuries AD) were also eras during which the city blossomed and its population boomed. Pottery production in this period also peaked: excavations over the last hundred years have revealed a vast quantity of ceramic finds, creating a challenge for archaeologists to cope with the sheer quantity of material as they seek to define and refine the typology of local ceramics. This volume presents an in-depth examination of finds from Jerash dating to the Byzantine and Umayyad periods. Through this analysis, it seeks to provide a better understanding of local pottery production and the role it played in the development of the city. The chapters included here explore techniques of production, identify key locations for ceramic work, and examine these developments as part of broader socio-economic patterns within the region. The contributions also analyse other artefacts from the city, including coinage and fine wares, as part of this wider discussion. The volume thus offers a unique academic contribution aimed at bringing to the forefront issues of continuity and change in Jerash in the dynamic period between the fifth and eighth centuries CE.

Hellenistic and Roman Gerasa. The Archaeology and History of a Decapolis City
Brepols, 2020. Paperback, xviii + 390 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:196 b/w, 21 col., 31 tables b/w., Languages: English, French. ISBN: 9782503585048
Summary The Graeco-Roman Decapolis city of Gerasa was a flourishing centre of population from the Late Hellenistic up to the Early Islamic period. It was also home to a vibrant ceramics industry. Kilns found throughout the city, with a concentration in the Hippodrome, suggest that Gerasa was in fact a mass-production centre in the Decapolis region over a number of centuries, manufacturing a vast array of material to suit the changing needs of daily life. Drawing on finds yielded during excavations by the Danish-German Northwest Quarter Project and other archaeological projects, as well as the research undertaken within the Ceramics in Context project, this volume evaluates the pottery from Gerasa produced in the Late Hellenistic and Roman periods. Typology, development over time, and variations in the Gerasene pottery are explored, and rare examples of imported material are analysed in order to shed light both on the inner workings of the city, and on the networks that extended beyond Gerasa's walls. The contributions gathered here examine the archaeology and history of Gerasa and assess ceramic remains alongside other finds from both the city and neighbouring urban centres. In doing so, they seek to contextualize this material in a broader cultural and historical context, and to improve our understanding of consumption, trading, and networks in the wider Decapolis area.

The Archaeology of Seasonality
Brepols, 2021. Paperback, xxiv + 431 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:73 b/w, 148 col., 6 tables b/w., 2 tables col., 4 maps color, Language(s):English, Italian. ISBN: 9782503593951
Summary Seasonality - the passage of time and the change in the environment across the course of a year - is universally recognized as having a major impact on the relationship between people and nature, yet it has rarely been examined as a topic of study in its own right. In the past, many areas of life were constrained and furthered by the cycle of the seasons, from the production of crops and grazing of animals in rural areas, to dress and diet, urban development, and religious activities. This volume offers an in-depth study of the impact of the seasons on the Graeco-Roman world, drawing on the archaeology of seasonality to open up new perspectives into the temporal dimension that underpins human activity, as well as offering fresh insights into space and spatial practices in the ancient world. The contributions draw on a wide range of archaeological evidence to explore the archaeology of the seasons from a number of different perspectives, including economic strategies, catastrophic events, religious activities, iconography, and the role of the individual.

Living with the Army II. The Results of Remote Sensing and Fieldwalking Surveys in Novae (Lower Moesia)
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 261 pages, Size:210 x 297 mm, Illustrations:133 b/w, 37 col., 11 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503603995
Summary This book presents the results of a research project realised in 2012-14 in the surroundings of the Roman legionary base at Novae (Moesia inferior), transformed in late Antiquity into a civilian town. The publication also contains material from surveys conducted in 1977 and in 2000, which have so far only been partly published. Various research methods were implemented jointly to enable at least a partial reconstruction of the settlement's character. These included geophysical prospection, field walking, and the mapping of metal finds, supplemented by a series of analyses, such as the testing of plant pollen and macroremains, with the aim of providing as complete a reconstruction as possible of the past environment in the fortress' surroundings. We attempted to record both the finds originating from earlier epochs and those from later ones, in order to provide a more complete reconstruction of the settlement landscape and the character of the site.

Violence & Imagination after the Collapse. Encounters, Identity & Daily Life in the Upper Euphrates Region, 3200-2500 BCE
Brepols, 2024. Paperback, xviii + 306 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:210 b/w, 8 col., 12 tables b/w., 5 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN: 9782503609454
Summary In the late fourth millennium BCE, the villages, temples, and palace of the Upper Euphrates region stood between two social worlds: the comparatively hierarchical, centrally organized Mesopotamian social tradition to the south and the comparatively egalitarian, decentralized Kura-Araxes social tradition to the north. Over the next seven centuries, this positioning and the interactions it sparked fed into reactions among the region's inhabitants that ranged from cataclysmic violence to a flowering of innovation in visual culture and social arrangements. These events had a wide array of short-term and long-term impacts, some limited to a single house or settlement, and some, like the innovation of the Warrior Tomb template, that transformed societies across West Asia. With an eye towards detail, a theoretical approach emphasizing personal motivation, and multiple scales of analysis, this book organizes previously unpublished data from six sites in the region, Arslantepe, Ta kun Mevkii, Pulur, Nor untepe, Tepecik, and Korucutepe, dating to this dramatic and transformative period.

Arms and Armour History, Conservation and Analysis
Archetype Publications Ltd, 2021. softcover, 256 pages, 24x17cm. ISBN: 9781909492820
This volume brings together papers written by curators, conservators and scientists who have worked very closely with European and Oriental arms and armour from some of the world?s finest collections. The pieces, which have been examined in detail, include not only those made for royalty, such as the helmet of the Black Prince, the armours of King Henry VIII and the jewel-encrusted dagger of Shah Jahan, but also the apparently more mundane and those created to deceive. Through careful study and hands-on experience, each of the authors provides an eye-opening insight into the history, science and interpretation of these important objects. The essays in this title were written in honour of David Edge. Published by Archetype Publications Ltd in association with the Arms and Armour Society

Ecologies of Crusading, Colonization, and Religious Conversion in the Medieval Baltic. Terra Sacra II
Brepols, 2019. Paperback, xx + 246 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:73 b/w, 9 col., 22 tables b/w., 20 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN: 9782503551333
Summary In the thirteenth century, crusading armies unleashed a relentless holy war against the pagan tribal groups of the Eastern Baltic, whose territories were conquered and reorganized into Christian states run by the Teutonic Order, bishops, and their cathedral chapters. Castles were built, towns established, and colonists encouraged to settle under the leadership of the new Christian theocracy. But the changes introduced alongside Christianity not only transformed the culture of eastern Baltic societies, but also had a profound and - for the Baltic tribes, who saw many aspects of the natural world as sacred - deeply significant impact on the local environment. This seminal period in the environmental history of north-eastern Europe has been the focus of the ERC-funded research programme, 'The Ecology of Crusading', which explored the physical and conceptual ecological transformations associated with warfare, colonization, and religious conversion. This second Terra Sacra volume draws together a series of case-studies on Livonia and Prussia that provide a unique snapshot of recent research into environmental change during the Baltic Crusades and also explore long-term trends in landscape organization and environmental exploitation. The volume covers six key themes: building-construction in the conquered territories; food supply to the houses of the Teutonic Order; life in the multi-cultural towns of the eastern Baltic; transforming the physical landscape; transforming the spiritual landscape; and the Baltic Ordensland in its regional context. It forms a companion to Environment, Colonization, and the Baltic Crusader States: Terra Sacra I.

Summary In the thirteenth century, crusading armies unleashed a relentless holy war against the pagan tribal groups of the Eastern Baltic, whose territories were conquered and reorganized into Christian states run by the Teutonic Order, bishops, and their cathedral chapters. Castles were built, towns established, and colonists encouraged to settle under the leadership of the new Christian theocracy. But the changes introduced alongside Christianity not only transformed the culture of eastern Baltic societies, but also had a profound and - for the Baltic tribes, who saw many aspects of the natural world as sacred - deeply significant impact on the local environment. This seminal period in the environmental history of north-eastern Europe has been the focus of the ERC-funded research programme, 'The Ecology of Crusading', which explored the physical and conceptual ecological transformations associated with warfare, colonization, and religious conversion. This is the first of two Terra Sacra volumes, which share the aim of changing our understanding of the environmental impact of crusading and colonization in northeastern Europe. The present volume provides a detailed inter-disciplinary comparison of the environmental transformations associated with the emergence of the crusader states of Livonia and Prussia. It draws on and integrates a range of archaeological, paleoenvironmental, historical, and cartographic sources in order to highlight the diverse impact of colonization and landscape reorganization that followed in the wake of the Baltic Crusades. The companion Terra Sacra volume complements this survey by presenting a number of case studies from across the eastern Baltic region.

Summary This volume, the first in a new series dedicated to the archaeological and historical landscapes of central Mediterranean Italy, aims to offer a fresh and dynamic new approach to our understanding of central-southern maritime Tuscany during the Roman period. Drawing on research that was initially presented at the first International Mediterranean Tuscan Conference (MediTo) held in Paganico (Grosseto, Italy) in June 2018, and supported by invited papers from other experts in the field, this collection of essays offers the most up-to-date research into Roman and Late Antique landscapes within Tuscany and its broader Mediterranean context, as well as the political, economic, and social networks that developed in this area during the Classical Period. Ultimately, what emerges from this in-depth study of river valleys, urban centres, and coastal settlements is an understanding of a dynamic Roman territory of cities and villages, villas and sanctuaries, minor sites, and manufacturing districts in which the local population fought to establish and maintain connections with the wider Mediterranean.

The History and Pottery of a Middle Islamic Settlement in the Northwest Quarter of Jerash. Final Publications from the Danish-German Jerash Northwest Quarter Project V
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, xxviii + 246 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:331 b/w, 192 col., 3 tables b/w., 10 maps b/w, 1 maps color, Language: English. ISBN: 9782503603353
Summary In 2015, the Danish-German Northwest Quarter Project working in Jerash uncovered a Middle Islamic farmstead. Subsequent excavations revealed that this settlement, far from marking a decline at the site, is in fact indicative of a broader active and dynamic rural community living within the ancient urban landscape of Jerash. This volume offers an in-depth focus on this Islamic settlement, with a particular focus on the ceramic material yielded by the site, which is here fully quantified and contextually analysed alongside historical sources. Through this approach, the author has reconstructed a new synthesis of Middle Islamic settlement history, shedding new light on the economic and social structures of a rural community in northern Jordan, as well as establishing a typology that can be used to refine the chronologies of Middle Islamic Jerash.

Gods in the House. Anthropology of Roman Housing - II
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 368 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:39 b/w, 80 col., 4 tables b/w., Language(s):English, French. ISBN: 9782503601694
Summary The archaeological excavations conducted from one end of the Mediterranean zone to the other have illuminated the place of gods in the ritual practices in the dwellings of the Graeco-Roman era. The discovery of multiple artefacts, dedicated spaces, and figurative paintings support new avenues of historical, anthropological, and social reflection with the aim of better understanding domestic religious practices in the polytheistic contexts of antiquity. This collective volume organizes those reflections around three axes. The first axis centres on identifying the deities that were favoured in domestic sanctuaries. Which gods are represented and which are not? The second axis concerns the interrelationships evident within domestic ritual spaces and sanctuaries. The third axis is dedicated to the anthropology of rituals. Lines of inquiry informed by anthropological, social, and phenomenological approaches are assuming ever-greater importance in scholarship on Antiquity. It is from this perspective that the authors explore the role that domestic ritual spaces play in shaping the lived environment.

Sarcophagi and Other Reliefs. 4 volumes
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2022. Hardback, 4 vols, 1832 pages, Size:220 x 285 mm, Illustrations:190 b/w, 1170 col., Language(s):English, Italian, Latin. ISBN: 9781912554560
Summary The 1,055 drawings catalogued in these four volumes are mainly divided between the Royal Library at Windsor Castle and the Department of Greece and Rome of the British Museum, but are also scattered in other public and private collections across the world. They correspond most closely to Cassiano's definition of the Paper Museum as his attempt to have 'skilled young draughtsmen' draw 'everything good in marbles and bronze which can provide some information about antiquity'. He focused in the first instance on the ancient figurative reliefs which are especially abundant in the city of Rome, carved on marble sarcophagi, tombstones, altars, bases and a wide range of other monuments. The drawings depict both the public reliefs of the city - such as those on the Arch of Constantine or the Column of Marcus Aurelius - and those from the major Roman private collections of the period, including the Aldobrandini, Borghese, Medici, Farnese, Barberini and Giustiniani collections. Cassiano started the project in the 1620s with the intention of publishing the drawings as a series of prints. No printed edition ever came to pass, but the drawings collection expanded with still greater energy in the 1630s, when Pietro Testa and other young artists from the circle of Pietro da Cortona were employed. After Cassiano's death in 1657 the enterprise was carried forward by his younger brother Carlo Antonio, who continued to collect drawings of sarcophagi and reliefs well into the 1680s. Sixteenth century purchases were also made for the collection, including works by Battista Franco and Pirro Ligorio. Four introductory essays explore the context in which the project evolved and discuss the collecting history of the Paper Museum as attested by the mounts and numbering found on many of the drawings. The range of different hands at work are identified, and a detailed survey is provided of the existing albums or the past configurations of others now dismembered.

Late Antique Metalware. The Production of Copper-Alloy Vessels between the 4th and 8th Centuries. The Benaki Museum Collection and Related Material
Brepols, 2021. Paperback, 410 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:250 col., 5 tables b/w., Languages: English, Greek, French. ISBN: 9782503569413
Summary The book examines the fourth- to eighth-century copper alloy wares in the Benaki Museum, using them as the basis on which a wider debate about the production, circulation and use of copper vessels in Late Antiquity can be built. It is an attempt at a holistic approach to this rich but as yet little studied material. Apart from the necessary typology and dating, the study also includes systematic discussion of questions regarding the alloys used in the manufacture of the copperwares and the techniques employed in their production and decoration. The study of primary sources provided evidence about the late Roman and Medieval Greek terminology associated with each group of objects, as well as interesting information about the distribution of various types of vessels, the context in which they were used and the value their owners placed on them, while also containing useful references to the coppersmiths themselves. Most of the Benaki copperwares were acquired on the Egyptian market and can be connected with the rich local production in the Late Roman and Early Islamic period. Yet the study of these artefacts showed that they have striking similarities with a wide range of archaeological material discovered over an extremely large geographical area, from the Eastern Mediterranean to Italy, Germany, Spain and the UK. The geographical spread of copper alloy wares that follow a parallel development in different parts of the empire and also appear almost contemporaneously in Western European burials reignites the debate on the production centres and subsequent modes of distribution of these artefacts. In turn these issues touch on the long-standing debate on the so-called 'Coptic bronzes' and the actual role of Egypt in the overall production of and trade in these articles in Late Antiquity.

Jebel al-Mutawwaq. A Fourth Millennium BCE Village and Dolmen Field. Six Years of Spanish?Italian Excavations (2012?2018)
Brepols, 2024. Paperback, xiv + 270 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:161 b/w, 6 col., 43 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN: 9782503609393
Summary The Early Bronze Age site of Jebel al-Mutawwaq, located on a hill overlooking the Zarqa River in Jordan, was a thriving centre of population from the second half of the fourth millennium into the third millennium BCE. During this time, the settlement developed both in population and social complexity, undergoing the beginnings of an urbanization process that fundamentally changed the relationship between this community of the Transjordanian Highlands with the surrounding landscape, until it was completely abandoned around 2900 BCE. This volume offers a new assessment of the site by combining data from the first surveys of the site, under a Spanish team led by J. A. Fernandez-Tresguerres, with the new results from six seasons of excavations led by teams from Perugia in Italy, and San Esteban in Spain. In doing so, this work sheds new light on this walled settlement and its huge megalithic necropolises, and offers a fresh understanding of the site.
