L’Année épigraphique (citée AE) est une publication annuelle qui fournit une analyse critique des inscriptions grecques et latines et des études fondées sur l’épigraphie relatives à l’Antiquité romaine, publiées au cours de l’année de référence de la publication. Ces inscriptions (développées et restituées) et ces études y sont présentées sous une forme ordonnée (selon la géographie administrative de l’empire romain) et sont assorties d’indices hiérarchisés. Ainsi AE 2011 a été imprimée en août 2014 et AE 2012 en août 2015. AE 2013 est en préparation. 

L’Année épigraphique est un instrument de travail mis à la disposition de la communauté scientifique internationale depuis plus d’un siècle. Fondée en effet en 1888 par René Cagnat et dirigée depuis février 1992 par Mireille Corbier, L’Année épigraphique est rédigée et mise au point par une équipe internationale de chercheurs, philologues et historiens, recrutés pour leurs compétences et pour la complémentarité de leurs spécialisations, qui produisent un ouvrage original, dans lequel ils investissent un savoir accumulé en épigraphie et en histoire des sociétés anciennes (voir le site www.anneeepigraphique.msh-paris.fr). 

Depuis AE 1991 (publiée en 1994) L’Année épigraphique fait une plus large place que par le passé aux inscriptions grecques relatives au monde romain (dont elle propose pour les plus longues d’entre elles une traduction), aux inscriptions chrétiennes et aux inscriptions liées à la vie quotidienne (graffiti, textes sur instrumentum). L'indexation des données, réalisée par les rédacteurs des notices, facilite leur identification et leur utilisation. 

Le volume annuel, imprimé et diffusé par les PUF, propriétaires de l’entière collection, est vendu par abonnement ou à l’unité. Des versions numériques sont proposées sur les plateformes JSTOR et CAIRN.INFO.

• Botanical Aspects of Environment and Economy at Gordion, Turkey

  PROJECT Uploaded by: Leigh Anne Ellison

  [tDAR id: 376588]The archaeological site of Gordion is most famous as the home of the Phrygian king Midas and as the place where Alexander the Great cut the Gordian knot on his way to conquer Asia.

Favorably situated for long-distance trade, Gordion's setting is marginal for agricultural cultivation but well...

Dún Ailinne: Excavations at an Irish Royal Site, 1968-1975

• Dún Ailinne: Excavations at an Irish Royal Site, 1968-1975

  PROJECT Uploaded by: Leigh Anne Ellison

  [tDAR id: 376584]The site of Dún Ailinne is one of four major ritual sites from the Irish Iron Age, each said to form the center of a political kingdom and thus described as "royal." Excavation has produced artifacts ranging from the Neolithic (about 5,000 years ago) through the later Iron Age (fourth century CE), when the site was the focus of repeated rituals, probably related to the creation and maintenance of political hegemony. A series of timber structures were built and replaced as each group of leaders...

Etruscan Myth, Sacred History, and Legend

• Etruscan Myth, Sacred History, and Legend

  PROJECT Uploaded by: Leigh Anne Ellison

  [tDAR id: 376539]This volume is the first comprehensive account of Etruscan mythology, an elusive and difficult subject because no Etruscan textual narratives have survived from antiquity. In order to interpret the myths and make the Etruscans come alive for us today, Nancy Thomson de Grummond acts as an archaeological detective piecing together evidence from representations in art, from archaeological sites, and from indirect accounts of Etruscan lore in Greek and Roman texts. She starts with the purely...

Mapping Mongolia: Situating Mongolia in the World from Geologic Time to the Present

• Mapping Mongolia: Situating Mongolia in the World from Geologic Time to the Present

  PROJECT Uploaded by: Leigh Anne Ellison

  [tDAR id: 376589]With its small population and low GDP, Mongolia is frequently deemed "unique" or tacked onto various area studies programs: Inner Asia, Central Asia, Northeast Asia, or Eurasia. This volume is a response to the concern that countries such as Mongolia are marginalized when academia and international diplomacy reconfigure area studies borders in the postsocialist era. Would marginalized countries such as Mongolia benefit from a reconfiguration of area studies programs or even from another way...

Tikal Report 37: Historical Archaeology at Tikal, Guatemala

• Tikal Report 37: Historical Archaeology at Tikal, Guatemala

  PROJECT Uploaded by: Leigh Anne Ellison

  [tDAR id: 376590]The pre-Columbian city we call Tikal was abandoned by its Maya residents during the tenth century A.D. and succumbed to the Guatemalan rain forest. It was not until 1848 that it was brought to the attention of the outside world. For the next century Tikal, remote and isolated, received a surprisingly large number of visitors. Public officials, explorers, academics, military personnel, settlers, petroleum engineers, chicle gatherers, and archaeologists came and went, sometimes leaving behind...

ASOR’s Cultural Heritage Initiatives is a cooperative agreement between ASOR and the U.S. Department of State that is designed to document, protect, and preserve the cultural heritage of war-torn Syria and northern Iraq. Hundreds of significant heritage sites have been damaged since fighting began in 2011. Although the destruction of cultural property represents only part of the humanitarian crisis, these harmful actions threaten our common world heritage and the cultural diversity of the people in Syria and northern Iraq. We have an ethical obligation to respond, and our project is part of an international effort to work with Syrians to protect their heritage and cultural identity

En 1857, Ernest Desjardins, membre de l'Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, prit l'initiative personnelle de publier pour la première fois, sous le format maniable d’un volume in-8°, les Comptes rendus des séances de la Compagnie. A partir de 1865, l'Académie décida d’assumer elle-même la charge de la publication des Comptes rendus des séances, qui fut placée sous l'autorité de son Secrétaire perpétuel. Les CRAI font écho à l’actualité nationale et internationale des trois grands domaines de recherche qui correspondent aux trois vocations majeures de la Compagnie : archéologie, philologie et histoire.

Construction and Implementation of the Cuneiform System

Volume 15 | Issue 4 | October 1981

M.W. Green

Cuneiform was, from its inception, not merely a collection of individual symbols, but a coherent system of information manipulation for which written characters were the main, but not the only, component. This system did not evolve by itself, but was manufactured, developed, and implemented within the framework of a bureaucratic organization which controlled the distribution not only of goods and services but also of status and information. That institution produced the demand for a control technology for which the cuneiform writing system was the eventual realization. While the user institution imposed specific, characteristic constraints and demands, it also adjusted its own needs and goals to adapt to restrictions and functions of the technology itself. We look at the early development of the cuneiform writing system with special attention to the less well recognized peripheral components and to interactions between the technology and its user.

Visual Sentences in Cuneiform Hittite

Volume 15 | Issue 4 | October 1981

Carol Justus

On the premise that horizontal Hittite scribal rulings be taken seriously as punctuation, this study investigated their content and found that in fact they punctuate a structure similar to the periodic sentence in older Greek and Latin. As such they are to be compared with the oldest (alphabetic) Greek mark of punctuation, the paragraphos, which begins to be replaced in Alexandrian Greek by marks which segment the language on the basis of prosodic features, as in English. Hittite “visible sentences,” moreover, signal in visual form underlying differences in language structure and cohesive basis which can be correlated with differences in word order type and changes which the genetically related Indo-European (IE) languages have undergone over a period of c. 4000 years of written attestation.

The Temple Scribe in Chaldean Uruk

Volume 15 | Issue 4 | October 1981

Ronald H. Sack

The education and activities of the Eanna temple scribe in sixth-century BC. Uruk varied little from what they had been prior to the Chaldean era. The cuneiform writing system was still in use, and Akkadian economic documents continued to be composed and literary texts preserved in a manner not unlike that of previous periods. These traditions, however, did not preclude the scribe’s attending to his own private business affairs or prevent his engaging in the collection or composition of literary documents that reflect either his own personal interests or the necessity to prepare materials with decidedly political overtones. The result of these endeavors is a body of texts which, in many respects, indicates both the influence of spoken Aramaic or written Akkadian and the everchanging political situation (from both official and private perspectives) in southern Mesopotamia in the Chaldean period.

Three Problems in the History of Cuneiform Writing: Origins, Direction of Script, and Literacy

Volume 15 | Issue 4 | October 1981

Marvin A. Powell

“Origins” suggests that cuneiform was invented in a short period of time around 3000 BC by a citizen of the Sumerian city of Uruk and that it arises conceptually out of the token system described by D. Schmandt-Besserat. “Direction of script” agrees with S. Picchioni that cuneiform was written and read vertically down through c. 2300 BC, but it emphasizes the use of reed patterns to demonstrate the manner in which the stylus was manipulated and sees this mode of manipulation at the motivating force behind the transition to horizontal script. “Literacy” argues that cuneiform was not as difficult as usually assumed, that the alphabet had no demonstrable effect on the level of functional literacy, and that the superiority of the alphabet over cuneiform has been exaggerated.

Letter Names of the Latin Alphabet

Volume 5 | Issue 3 | July 1971

Arthur E. Gordon

Contemporary and earlier studies of the Latin language have failed to present and discuss adequately letter names of the Latin alphabet—in contrast, for example, with the Greek alpha, beta, gamma, etc. Several theories, and their derivation, about the letter names are presented. The ancient evidence—from the third/second century B.C. to the seventh century A.D.—is rather scant and not always clear. While the names of the vowels and of all the consonants except the continuants (F, L, M, N, R, S, X) seem certain, the names of these continuants seem to have undergone changes in the course of history and to be clear only toward the end of antiquity (from the fourth century A.D. on).

Ancient Maya Writing and Calligraphy

Volume 5 | Issue 4 | October 1971

Michael D. Coe

Maya hieroglyphic writing was carved on stone monuments, written in bark-paper codices, and painted upon funerary pottery. The stone inscriptions, formerly thought to record only calendrical information, have been found to contain dynastic histories. The codices treat exclusively of ritual matters, while the texts and pictures on the pottery are concerned with the perilous voyage of the soul to the underworld. The script evolved from a highly pictographic system into one that had a strong phonetic-syllabic component. As calligraphy, Maya writing was a basically painterly art.

Origin of the Sexagesimal System: Interaction of Language and Writing

Volume 6 | Issue 1 | January 1972

Marvin A. Powell, Jr.

The origin of the sexagesimal system has been much debated, but all past theories have neglected the linguistic evidence of the ancient cuneiform lexica. The problem or origin is twofold: 1) the origin of counting with sixty as a base and 2) the origin of sexagesimal place notation. The first problem is linguistic and anthropological in nature and must be studied through the ancient lexica. The second can be elucidated by a combined analysis of the Sumerian number words and the symbols used to represent them. Such an analysis indicated that sexagesimal place notation arose from an interaction between the numerational framework of the Sumerian language and the symbols used to write those numbers, but the sudden appearance of place notation about 2050 B.C. indicates that the final step toward the creation of place notation was an act of conscious invention.

The Figured Poem: Towards a Definition of Genre

Volume 20 | Issue 1 | January 1986

Ulrich Ernst

A poetological analysis of the genre of pattern poetry is presented which distinguishes among various forms of picture text composition, and attempts to classify the various sorts of carmina figurata typologically while dealing with the question of continuity and discontinuity of figured poems in ancient, medieval, and modern times.

The Labyrinth Poem

Volume 20 | Issue 1 | January 1986

Piotr Rypson

The labyrinth, the mythical structure conceived by Daedalus, has been a persistent motif throughout the history of Mediterranean culture. We find it both in visual art of all kinds as well as in literature, and also in the fascinating noman’s-land between these two. In the area of word-image interaction there exists a whole collection of texts that were given the name “poetical labyrinths.” The origin of labyrinthine poems goes back to the Rome of Augustus Caesar; the visual pattern of these pieces seems to indicate the pattern of a magical dance, perhaps the ancient Greek dance of the Grue. The idea of the poem in medieval times seems also to encompass the idea of the city, of the heavenly Jerusalem. Medieval poetical labyrinths have definite religious connotations, as is also evident in the later works of this genre, influenced by the Jewish Kabbala. This hermeneutic is still valid for the baroque in the case of a number of works, yet more and more labyrinth poems appear in a secularized, ornamental context. This article traces the most significant of these lines of development of this form and its function.

Greek Letterforms on the Parthian Drachms

Volume 7 | Issue 1 | January 1973

Richard A. Olson

One of the most unusual coinages in antiquity was the coinage of the Parthian empire, largest of the later Hellenistic empires. The Parthians were a non-Greek people who used Greek as their first official language of state and as the predominant language on their coins. Their most common denomination, the silver drachm, bore Greek legends for almost half a millennium, and the letterforms underwent a significant transformation in the process. Since the coinage constitutes the largest body of primary source material extant concerning ancient Parthia, that transformation is of significant interest to the classification historian.

This is a minimal concordance without any morphological analysis, providing each form of each word in the context of its line. The text is taken from that at the WikiSource site, which is in the public domain; it has been modified to normalize orthography in a few places. I prepared it because a fairly cursory search online showed nothing like it that was complete, and I wanted to have this information available for my own research. If it duplicates someone else’s efforts, I apologize.

The concordance was generated by mechanical means (who would do it by hand nowadays?) using a sequence of grep functions with Bare Bones’ BBEdit program. There are a few peculiarities in consequence. There may be an occasional bit that got by indexed oddly, due (almost certainly) to deficiencies in my own regular expression formation, though I tried to eliminate them by scrutinizing the resultant files by hand. The sorting routines, moreover, do not distinguish accents, so various similar but non-identical forms may be interleaved. In very few cases will that result in any material confusion, however.

Perhaps more interestingly, I’m not sure what the conventions are for words repeated in a given line, but this concordance will give each a separate entry. Accordingly you may find two identical lines in a row, e.g.: 

ὃ: Iliad 22:200: οὔτ'ἄρ'ὃ τὸν δύναται ὑποφεύγειν οὔθ'ὃ διώκειν·
ὃ: Iliad 22:200: οὔτ'ἄρ'ὃ τὸν δύναται ὑποφεύγειν οὔθ'ὃ διώκειν·

This is not an error, but the first one is documenting the first ὃ in the line, and the second documenting the second. I find it useful for the kind of work I'm doing; if you don’t, it should not prove difficult to ignore.

Finally, some will surely find the size of the text rather small. This is because (for my purposes, at least) a critical function of such a concordance view is to provide a synoptic view of a lot of material rather than to set it out extensively for easy reading. Those who find it just too small, however, can enlarge the view by the conventional means (Command-+ on a Mac or Control-+ on a Windows machine). I have tried it with various magnifications and found that it seems to work reasonably well.
I am willing to share the code that created this, trivial though it is (only about four grep calls, applied iteratively, and a sort); I am also willing to entertain suggestions for emendations or revisions, provided they are presented civilly — feel free to write to me at [mcmenomy] [at] [dorthonion] [dot] [com].

Το Μουσείο Μπενάκη με ιδιαίτερη χαρά ανακοινώνει την έναρξη της ηλεκτρονικής κυκλοφορίας του ομότιτλου περιοδικού του, το οποίο εκδίδεται σε ετήσια βάση από το 2001. Σήμερα πια το περιοδικό Μουσείο Μπενάκη έχει καθιερωθεί ως ένα διεθνούς επιπέδου επιστημονικό βήμα για αρχαιολόγους, εθνολόγους, ανθρωπολόγους, ιστορικούς, ιστορικούς της τέχνης, μουσειολόγους και ερευνητές πολλών ακόμα ειδικοτήτων. Στην ιστοσελίδα του Μουσείου Μπενάκη σταθερά δημοσιεύονται το εξώφυλλο, τα περιεχόμενα και οι περιλήψεις των μελετών που περιλαμβάνει το εκάστοτε τεύχος.

Το 2014 σηματοδοτεί μια νέα εποχή για το περιοδικό: χάρη στη συνεργασία με το Εθνικό Κέντρο Τεκμηρίωσης (ΕΚΤ), τα παλαιότερα αλλά και τα επόμενα τεύχη του περιοδικού Μουσείο Μπενάκη, όπως και τα παραρτήματά του θα κυκλοφορούν, παράλληλα με την έντυπη έκδοσή τους, και ηλεκτρονικά προσφέροντας έτσι εύκολη πρόσβαση τόσο στην επιστημονική κοινότητα, όσο και στο ευρύτερο κοινό.  

The Benaki Museum has great pleasure in announcing that its journal, which has been published on an annual basis since 2001, is now available in electronic form. The journal Mouseio Benaki has established itself at international level as an academic forum for archaeologists, ethnographers, anthropologists, historians, art historians, museologists and researchers in many other disciplines. The Benaki Museum website has regularly contained the cover, list of contents and abstracts of articles for each issue of the periodical.

2014 marks a new era for the journal: thanks to a collaboration with the National Documentation Centre (EKT), past copies as well as forthcoming issues of Mouseio Benaki, together with its supplements, will be published in print and online, thus making it easily accessible to both the academic community and the general public.

La Revue des Études Anciennes est plus que centenaire. Fondée en 1899 par Georges Radet, elle conserve aujourd’hui encore la vocation large qu’elle possédait à l’origine, ce qui fait toujours sa particularité parmi les revues françaises ou étrangères comparables. Elle publie en effet aussi bien des articles d’histoire, d’épigraphie, d’archéologie, de littérature et de philosophie, couvrant ainsi le champ entier des études anciennes consacrées aux mondes grec et romain.

Welcome to Vindolanda Tablets Online II (VTO2), a sister website to Vindolanda Tablets Online (VTO). VTO2 is meant not as a replacement but as an addition to VTO. It also is an online edition of the Vindolanda writing tablets, excavated from the Roman fort at Vindolanda in northern England.
In addition to tablets 118-573 from The Vindolanda Writing Tablets volume I and II, which have also been published on VTO, VTO2 also contains tablets 574-853 from volume III.

VTO2 differs further from VTO in the approach to publishing the tablets online. Where VTO is based on a database containing all the tablet information, VTO2 is based on a series of EpiDoc encoded XML documents – one for each tablet. Information is then extracted from these documents by the  APPELLO Web Service.

VTO2 enables access to the tablets from different angles. You can use the direct approach of searching for tablets and choose a tablet to view from the drop-down menu. Once viewing a tablet it is also possible to navigate to the previous and next tablet. You can furthermore view all tablets in a list that can be sorted and filtered accourding to source, period and location of the tablets.

Unique to VTO2 is the index searcher which makes use of APPELLO’s word search capability. You can choose to search through all indices at once or one particular index at a time. The index searcher uses AJAX Livesearch technology, meaning that it will list suggestions while you are typing your search.

Finally the edition in each tablet view is linked for interaction between tablets. When you click on a coloured word in the edition you will see a pop-up with other tablets containing this word. These pages also contain links to other tablets and bibliographic references mentioned in the text.
