FOLD&R (Fasti On Line Documents & Research)

folder_cover


FOLD&R is an archaeological journal published since 2004 by the International Association for Classical Archaeology in collaboration with the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities.
The journal is dedicated to the proposition that reports on all excavations should be easily available to the general public. It is a peer-reviewed journal, with an editorial board that covers all of the archaeological disciplines. We welcome illustrated submissions, in English, Italian, French, Spanish or German, on recent Italian excavations or geophysical or surface surveys of individual sites. We guarantee a rapid review of the material, which, after any agreed changes, should be published within a month. Two sets of proofs will be submitted for correction by the authors. The reviewers are asked to address the scientific validity and presentation of the submission rather than the scale or importance of the excavation; all excavations are important. No translation is offered, but we are willing to advise on translators for anyone who wishes to publish their text in another language.
An on-line journal follows the same rules as those on paper from both an academic and a juridical point of view. Publications on FOLD&R are thus valid from the point of view of a personal curriculum and should be cited just like other publications. The law protects the intellectual property of the author and the journal. Texts are published in a pdf format, and they can be consulted online, with Acrobat Reader, and downloaded for printing and circulation to colleagues. Texts can be republished by their authors (although only by the authors) without permission from the review; however, we request that the first publication be credited to FOLD&R.

Texts and illustrations, in colour or black and white, should be sent to Helga Di Giuseppe, Piazza San Marco 49, Rome 00186 (tel. 39-06 68683399), or by email to helga.digiuseppe@aiac.org, The illustrations may be sent either as digital or paper files. If the site in question is not already part of the Fasti Online it must be accompanied by a completed Record Sheet

We will register each FOLD&R article at the CNR central library, the Biblioteca Centrale “G. Marconi”, that has established a database, SOLAR, which registers the deposition of digital scientific publications. Registration and certification by the CNR guarantees the author and the preservation of the work. We assume that the authors of submissions will authorize the deposition of their texts. The authors will receive, via email, the certificate of deposition, which can be annexed to their own FOLD&R for distribution.

    Project Volterra

    Project Volterra
    The Projet Volterra was established in honour of the memory of the distinguished Roman lawyer Edoardo Volterra (1904-1984), whose widow left his substantial and rich collection of Roman law books to the École Française de Rome. A catalogue of the older items, with reminiscences by relatives and colleagues, has now been published by Douglas Osler as vol. 3 in the series Bibliographica Iuridica(Frankfurt-am-Main, 2006). The general aims of the Projet Volterra are to promote the study of Roman law in its full social, political and legal context.
    The first phase of this project in Britain (Volterra I) ran from 1995 to 2004, based in the UCL History Department, being initially funded by the British Academy and then by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Entitled 'Law and Empire AD193-455', it focused on later Roman imperial legal pronouncements and its primary output was an on-line searchable database of all imperial pronouncements in Latin from the late second to mid-fifth centuries. Although this phase is now finished, its product is a 'living database' that continues to be up-dated and maintained courtesy of periodic funding from the British Academy, which adopted the Projet Volterra in 2005 as one of its long term research projects.
    The second phase of the project, entitled 'Law and the End of Empire' (Volterra II), started in September 2005. This comprises two five-year research projects funded by the Arts and Humanities Reseach Council (2005-2010, 2011-2015), and it continues to be based at UCL History. It carries on chronologically from where Volterra I left off. Based on a thorough analysis of the surviving texts and their transmission, the aim of this phase of the project is to produce a history, with supporting database and on-line resources, of the law (Roman, Germanic or ‘barbarian’, and ecclesiastical) in all its aspects in continental Europe between the end of the Roman Empire in the west and the Carolingian period.
    The team working on the project initially comprised Professor Michael Crawford and Dr Benet Salway, based in the Department of History at University College London, where they were joined by Dr Simon Corcoran in 1999. The team was augmented by Dr Magnus Ryan, Faculty of History and Peterhouse, Cambridge for the first part of Volterra II (2005-2010).
    Three papers from the Colloquium held at the Senate House, University of London, in March 2004, together with a general introduction to the Projet Volterra, were published in November 2007 in the Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies49 (2006) pp. 214-254.

    PROGETTO "OIKEIÔSIS": traduzione cooperativa della Epistula ad Lucilium 121

    PROGETTO "OIKEIÔSIS"
    In questo sito viene pubblicata, a puntate, latraduzione cooperativa dellaEpistula ad Lucilium121 di Seneca,che verte sulla teoria stoica della appropriazione(in greco, oikeiôsis) degli animali, ovvero quel processo secondo il quale ogni essere vivente si 'appropria' della propria esistenza e comincia a percepire la propria costituzione fisica, nonché gli elementi che sono ad essa utili o dannosi. L'Epistula 121, in questo senso, è da considerarsiun importante punto di partenza per chiunque voglia studiare e comprendere le ‘teorie della mente animale’ in seno allo stoicismoe, al contempo, per formarsi un primo orientamento sul dibattito relativo all'intelligenza degli animali che ha infiammato le scuole filosofiche in età imperiale. 

    Gli argomenti di questo dibattito, peraltro, presentano alcune consonanze (che meritano di essere analizzate a partire dagli strumenti della comparazione culturale)con quelli oggi messi in campo  nell'ambito della psicologia cognitiva, delle neuroscienze, dell'etologia e della filosofia del linguaggio contemporanee.

    Thesaurus d'Epigraphie Islamique

    Thesaurus d'Epigraphie Islamique
    Le projet du Thesaurus d’épigraphie islamique a pour ambition de réunir toutes les inscriptions arabes, persanes et turques, voire dans d'autres langues du monde musulman, jusqu'à l'an 1000 de l'hégire, c'est-à-dire du Moyen Age.
    Le Thesaurus d’Epigraphie Islamique s’inscrit dans la lignée du Répertoire Chronologique d’Epigraphie Arabe tout en étant indépendant. En effet, le projet actuel ne tient pas compte seulement des inscriptions arabes mais également persanes et turques, voire d’autres. En outre, les avantages informatiques ont permis une nouvelle présentation de fiche-type ainsi qu’une précision accrue dans l’enregistrement et surtout dans la consultation des données. La Fondation Max van Berchem de Genève a bien voulu accepter la sponsorisation du projet qui a été officiellement mis en route en février 1992. 
    La base de données étant informatisée, on peut facilement imaginer que les premiers pas n’étaient pas simples, «l’universalité» du système informatique n’ayant pas été, à l’époque, encore achevée (problème des caractères latins diacrités, des caractères “neutres“ dans l’écriture arabe, compatibilité entre Macintosh et PC, etc.). Dès le début, la saisie des inscriptions se fait sur l’ordinateur Macintosh et le logiciel utilisé pour l'élaboration de la base est le logiciel “4ème dimension»(ou “4D“), sous ses différentes versions successives. C’est ainsi que nous sommes passés, non sans mal, par plusieurs systèmes informatiques différents. La diffusion se faisait, à partir de 1998, sous formes de CD-Rom,t puis de DVD-Rom, chaque nouveau disque comprenant une (éventuellement deux ou trois) nouvelle livraison incluant les inscriptions d'une nouvelle région. Le découpage géographique suivi est présenté plus bas, dans la section 5/ des présentes notices.
    Depuis le mois d’octobre 2011, c’est à dire depuis la 10ème livraison, la base est disponible, gratuitement, sur Internet. Deux ou trois livraisons à venir vont inclure les régions manquantes et il sera ainsi prochainement possible, au bout d’un long chemin, de consulter l'ensemble des inscriptions musulmanes du moyen âge! 
    Le projet ne va pas s’arrêter là. La base sera régulièrement enrichie et complétée et tous les deux ans environ, une livraison actualisée, sur le plan scientifique comme sur le plan informatique, va remplacer la livraison précédente.
    Nous souhaitons susciter, pour les différentes régions comme pour l’ensemble du projet, des collaborations effectives qui vont continuer à être reconnues dans la section 7/ Remerciements.

    GlobalXplorer°
    GlobalXplorer° is an online platform that uses the power of the crowd to analyze the incredible wealth of satellite images currently available to archaeologists. Launched by 2016 TED Prize winner and National Geographic Fellow, Dr. Sarah Parcak, as her “wish for the world,” GlobalXplorer° aims to bring the wonder of archaeological discovery to all, and to help us better understand our connection to the past. So far, Dr. Parcak’s techniques have helped locate 17 potential pyramids, in addition to 3,100 potential forgotten settlements and 1,000 potential lost tombs in Egypt — and she's also made significant discoveries in the Viking world and Roman Empire. With the help of citizen scientists across the globe, she hopes to uncover much, much more. This is just the beginning. With additional funding, Dr. Parcak aims to revolutionize how modern archaeology is done altogether, by creating a global network of citizen explorers, opening field schools to guide archaeological preservation on the ground, developing an archaeological institute, and even launching a satellite designed with archaeology in mind.
    So far, Sarah’s methods have proved over 90% successful in producing significant discoveries.

    [Arma Mars logo]













    Arma is the newsletter of the Roman Military Equipment Conference (ROMEC) which, since 1983, has met to discuss the arms, armour, and military fittings of the Roman army. The proceedings of these volumes have been published (four of them by British Archaeological Reports) but Arma now provides an opportunity for the publication of short notes on recent finds, news of relevant publications, and a running bibliography of academic articles published on the subject since 1980. The newsletter also supplies details about forthcoming events, including of course the next ROMEC. Of interest to specialists and enthusiasts alike, as well as unit and museum staff, and academics working in related fields, Arma offers the chance to keep up-to-date with Roman military equipment studies.
    Several early volumes are available online, the remaining volumes Table of contents only

    Open Context and Carleton University Prize for Archaeological Visualization
    We are pleased to announce that the winner of the 1st OpenContext & Carleton University Data Visualization Prize is awarded to the ‘Poggio Civitate VR Data Viewer’, created by the team led by Russell Alleen-Willems. 
    The team hacked this data viewer together over a weekend as a proof-of-concept. In the typical spirit of the digital humanities and digital archaeology, they developed a playful approach exploring the materials using the potential of the HTC Vive sdk to ingest Open Context data as json, and then to place it into a relative 3d space. We particularly appreciated their candour and self-assessment of what worked, and didn’t work about their project, and their plans for the future. We look forward to seeing their work progress, and hope that this prize will help them move forward. Please explore their project at https://vrcheology.github.io/ .
    Congratulations to the team, and thank you to all who participated. Please keep your eyes peeled for next year’s edition of the prize!
    The team members are:
    • Russell Alleen-Willems (Archaeology domain knowledge, Unity/C# Scripting)
    • Mader Bradley (JSON Data Parsing/Unity Scripting)
    • Jeanpierre Chery (UX Design, Unity/C# Scripting)

    The Archaeological Journal

    Introduction

    Caerphilly CastleThe Royal Archaeological Institute (RAI) is a leading national archaeology society and since 1844 we have annually published the Archaeological Journal. The journal contains papers on the Institute's interests, which span all aspects of the archaeological, architectural and landscape history of the British Isles. It presents the results of archaeological and architectural survey and fieldwork on sites and monuments of all periods as well as syntheses and overviews of such work in the British Isles.
    The RAI has digitially scanned and made available the first 120 years of the Archaeological Journal, which are available to view through this website.
    More recent journals, from Volume 121 through to the latest published articles, are available through the RAI´s commerical publishers Routledge on the Taylor & Francis website. These are free to subscribing libraries and members, and are otherwise available on a pay-per-view basis.

    Judaism and Rome: Re-thinking Judaism’s Encounter with the Roman Empire
     Arch of Titus, Rome (82 CE)
    Welcome to the website for the ERC project "Re-thinking Judaism’s Encounter with the Roman Empire: Rome’s Political and Religious Challenge to Israel and its Impact on Judaism"!
    On this website you will find useful resources for studying Roman imperial ideology, or Roman imperial discourses, artefacts and performances, displayed in literary records, epigraphy, numismatics, as well as through monuments, statues and other material artefacts. There is a particular focus on sources connected to the three sub-themes of the project, “Roman Power,” “Roman Law” and “Roman Citizenship”.
    You will also find Jewish, Greek, Egyptian and Christian sources documenting the responses of some of the provincials of the Roman empire to the challenge of Roman domination. By "responses," however, we do not intend only the provincial sources that explicitly mention Rome and address issues such as Roman law courts or grants of Roman citizenship. We also take into account the way the Roman imperial context led provincials to formulate their own conceptions of power, law, and citizenship or membership with a given group.

    The website Judaism and Rome aims to:
    • give access to some important sources, providing as much information as possible: images, original text, translation…
    • provide the reader with an original and detailed analysis of each source, a service that is very rarely offered on the internet, and which makes this website comparable to a rich sourcebook
    • promote interdisciplinary discussion between scholars working on Roman history, Jewish Studies, Epigraphy, Numismatics, Classics, Patristics, History of Christianity, etc.
    There are multiple ways to perform a search and to find sources that are relevant to your specific interests. Please look at “How to search".

    BAF-Online: Proceedings of the Berner Altorientalisches Forum
    ISSN: 2504-2076
    BAF Online
    BAF-Online is the publication platform of the Berner Altorientalisches Forum (BAF). It makes available to the public within the shortest possible delays vidcasts of the talks that have been held at the BAF. The vidcasts published at BAF Online have been peer-reviewed by members of the BAF scientific committee and are quotable. The aim of BAF-Online is to facilitate the dissemination and publication of ideas prior to final results.

    The Berner Altorientalisches Forum (BAF) is an annual international meeting designed to bring together researchers of the Ancient Near East specialising in different areas and disciplines. There is no theme. Participants are encouraged to communicate their ideas as concisely as possible. Talks last no more than 10 minutes and are vidcasted.

    The idea of setting up a forum designed to bring together specialists from all disciplines active in all areas of the Ancient Near East broadly defined was put forward by Johanna Tudeau in January 2015. The BAF project followed, developed in the course of a conversation between Johanna and Mirko Novák. The first BAF took place in Bern on 24-25 June 2016, organised by Johanna and Hannah Mönninghoff with the support of the BAF Committee

    33 New titles added to Ancient World Digital Library
    By Gabriel McKee
    02/02/2017 
    This January a selection of 33 newly-digitized volumes was added to the Ancient World Digital Library (AWDL), containing both high-quality scans of public-domain content as well as more recent publications released through new partnerships with publishers and academic organizations.
    The recent additions include the first volume in a new partnership between AWDL and ISLET-Verlag, a Dresden-based publishing house founded in 2002 by Cornelia Wunsch. ISLET specializes in publishing cuneiform archives, economic and legal texts, and other Assyrian and Babylonian materials. The first volume in the series “Babylonische Archive”, Mining the Archives, is now viewable in AWDL. More volumes from ISLET will follow.

    The newly-added titles also include four volumes of monographic supplements published by the Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists (BASP): Roger S. Bagnall and K.A. Worp’s Regnal Formulas in Byzantine Egypt, Kathleen McNamee’s Abbreviations in Greek Literary Papyri and Ostraca, D. Brent Sandy’s The Production and Use of Vegetable Oils in Ptolemaic Egypt, and John F. Oates’ The Ptolemaic Basilikos Grammateus. With these four volumes, AWDL continues its partnership with the American Society of Papyrologists, whose series American Studies in Papyrology currently has 15 titles available in AWDL.

    Papyrology is further represented by three historical titles from Harrassowitz Verlag, original published in the 1940s-1960s: Wilhelm Schubert’s Die Papyri der Universitatsbibliothek Erlangen, Erich Lüddeckens’ Ägyptische Eheverträge, and Ludwig Koenen’s Eine ptolemäische Königsurkunde (P. Kroll). Through AWDL, these long out-of-print volumes are now accessible to scholars worldwide.

    Lastly, the new additions to AWDL include 25 public-domain volumes, primarily on Egyptological topics. These titles, several of which have long available in low-quality scans from sources like the Internet Archive and Hathi Trust, have been completely re-digitized for AWDL. These high-quality scans will prove far more useful than what has been digitally available until now, particularly for titles like Beschreibung der aegyptischen Sammlung des niederländischen Reichsmuseums der Altertümer in Leidenthat include photographic plates.

    As always, titles in AWDL can be read online in full resolution or downloaded in either high- or low-resolution PDF format. In addition to searching for titles, you can also find titles by using the AWDL Atlas, a browsable map of all of the titles available on the AWDL site; by browsing for topics under the “Collections Overview” tab; or looking at individual series in the “Series” tab.

    We are so happy that you are interested in taking part in the learning and amazing dialogue here at the Kosmos Society, whether you are joining from HeroesX or through other routes!

    The Kosmos Society project has resources and activities, and there is a ‘semi-circle’ of active members who have been working as part of a Community Development team and are trying out ideas and opening them up for everyone to join in. The community has been delighted to welcome visiting scholars for talks and discussions. There is a monthly Book Club. There are opportunities to read new texts or to go further into the wonderful works in the Sourcebook. There are forums to discuss ideas, chatrooms for project or social conversations, a weekly Café thread for interesting and informal gatherings, fun quizzes (if you enjoy green ticks and red Xs!), and a growing number of blog posts and learning resources.

    Since the Kosmos Society has no assessments or schedules, there is a great deal of flexibility in how you choose to continue on with your learning. In this project we are sharing our reading experiences, diverse skills, and friendship as we engage with ancient literature in fun and meaningful ways. Scholars may join our discussions, but there are no “teachers” and “students.” Instead, we are all learning together as fellow community members. Each of us, including you, can be a leader in the community. So please jump right in!
