OCRE surpasses 100,000 physical specimens, including Polish coin finds, and more
We have several additional news events to report:

  1. We have finally published the Roman coins from the American Numismatic Society with references to RIC 9 to Online Coins of the Roman Empire. This has brought us to a milestone 100,000 physical specimens linked to about 42,000 imperial types spanning five centuries from Augustus to Zeno.
  2. We have reprocessed our data from RIC 4 in order to represent the type-subtype hierarchy within that volume more accurately. Some data errors have been fixed due PHP processing glitches or typos in deity names.
  3. More than 7,200 coins in the Finds of Roman Coins in Poland project (part of the European Coin Find Network umbrella) have been ingested into Nomisma.org for query and visualization. Of these coins, 23 are linked to URIs defined by OCRE.
  4. I discovered a glitch in my script for mapping references to Price (1991) to IDs in Pella, and now about 500 coins in the ANS of Philip III and Lysimachus have been added into Pella.
  5. Berlin has added an export for Macedonian coins found in the excavations of Priene, and two have been added into Pella.

Bibliothek Goussen
http://s2w.hbz-nrw.de/ulbbn/domainresource/static/graphics/kopfgrafik_digitalisierung.png
The Goussen library collection is a specialist library for oriental church history. It contains prints in Western classical and modern languages, but predominantly prints in oriental languages such as Syrian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Arabic, Armenian and Georgian languages from the 16th to the 20th century (the focus is on the 18th and the 19th century). The former owner Heinrich Goussen (1863 – 1927) collected nearly every print within the language groups that had ever been published about the subject. The collection contains numerous rare or valuable oriental prints. There could hardly a collection be put together as completely as here, not even from the holdings of large European libraries.

The Waters of Rome
http://www3.iath.virginia.edu/waters/chiesa/chiesa_tiber_island_small.jpg
A refereed, on-line journal of occasional papers concerned with water studies and the city of Rome.
Authors are invited to submit articles on any aspect of the hydrological or hydraulic history of Rome from the prehistoric to the present day, to be considered for publication. Articles that investigate water and water infrastructure as a system (rather than examining an individual feature) within a social, cultural, or technological context are particularly welcome. Our interest is to stimulate discussion about water's role in urban development, especially within the context of issues of infrastructural and landscape urbanism studies. Every submission is reviewed by the editor and a minimum of two outside reviewers who are authorities drawn from the disciplines of history, classics, architecture, landscape architecture, archaeology, architectural and art history, and geography.

AGER VELEIAS: Rassegna di storia, civiltà e tradizione classiche
AGER VELEIAS
In più di trent'anni di passione veleiate vissuta nell'Università di Parma all'ombra della cattedra di Storia Romana, Nicola Criniti e i suoi generosi collaboratori del Gruppo di Ricerca Veleiate [GRV] hanno organizzato una ricca "Raccolta Veleiate" di testi a stampa, ben nota a studiosi italiani e stranieri; hanno prodotto una decina di tesi di laurea e quasi un centinaio di saggi, offrendo altresì un efficace e variegato biglietto da visita nei recenti volumi collettanei parmensi "Ager Veleias". Tradizione, società e territorio sull'Appennino Piacentino [2003: ora in rete, www.veleia.it], "Res publica Veleiatium". Veleia, tra passato e futuro [2006: in quinta edizione nel 2009], "Veleiates". Uomini, luoghi e "memoriae" dell'Appennino piacentino-parmense [2007], tutti curati da Nicola Criniti.


Dal 2005 / 2006, obbedendo alle leggi della comunicazione ..., si sono impegnati – grazie anche all'intervento di Luca Lanza e Francesco Bergamaschi prima, di Daniele Fava e di Immagica di Parma poi – nell'apertura e sviluppo del laboratorio informatico multifunzionale e multidisciplinare AGER VELEIAS (www.veleia.it: già Tveleia.unipr.it) Te, al suo interno, dell'omonima rassegna periodica "Ager Veleias", che ormai si è felicemente aperta a tutta la romanità e alla sua fortuna moderna / contemporanea (si veda nel sito l'Indice Generale). Un bel quadro recente ne ha dato Daniele Fava nella sua tesi «VELEIA 1760 – 2010: dal "Grand Tour" a Internet. 250 anni di "peregrinationes" al sito di Veleia, discussa con me a Parma, nell'estate 2010...

AIACNews: Bollettino quadrimestrale dell'Associazione Internazionale di Archeologia Classica Onlus 
http://www.aiac.org/sites/all/themes/aiac/images/logo.jpg

La fondazione dell’AIAC risale al 1945, nell’atmosfera di grande animazione della Roma postbellica. Fu quello un momento estremamente favorevole per la costituzione di un’organizzazione che fungesse da punto di riferimento per i numerosi studiosi stranieri che erano a Roma durante la guerra e per quelli che arrivavano al seguito delle truppe alleate.

Per comprendere fino in fondo la nascita dell’AIAC è necessario, però, tornare indietro nel tempo fino al 1823, quando fu fondato a Roma il “Circolo degli Iperborei romani”. Gli Iperborei erano un gruppo di quattro intellettuali nordici (A. Kestner, O. Magnus von Stackelberg, E. Gerhard e Th. Panofka) che si riunivano per leggere classici e per esplorare le antichità di Roma e dei suoi dintorni, in nome di un mitico popolo collocato ai confini del mondo abitato.

Online Exhibition: The Legacy of Ancient Palmyra

The Legacy of Ancient Palmyra
http://www.getty.edu/research/exhibitions_events/exhibitions/palmyra/images/i88_banner.jpg
The Getty Research Institute's first online exhibition, The Legacy of Ancient Palmyra, features the Institute's rare print and photograph collections documenting an important archaeological site that has recently undergone devastating changes amid an ongoing war in Syria. The project was conceived as a means to complement the Institute's exceptional holdings with an innovative design that creates a compelling digital experience. The online presentation of this exhibition aims to reach a global audience.
In this 21st century, war in Syria has irrevocably changed the ancient caravan city of Palmyra, famed as a meeting place of civilizations since its apogee in the mid-2nd to 3rd century CE. The Romans and Parthians knew Palmyra as a wealthy oasis metropolis, a center of culture and trade on the edge of their empires. Stretching some three kilometers across the Tadmurean desert, the ruins of Palmyra, like all ruins, stand as bearers of meaning marking their place in history. For centuries, traveling artists and explorers have documented the site in former states of preservation. Created as a tribute to Palmyra, this online exhibition captures the site as it was photographed for the first time by Louis Vignes in 1864 and illustrated in the 18th century by the architect Louis-François Cassas. Their works contribute to Palmyra's legacy, one that goes far beyond the stones of its once great buildings.

Linked Digital Version of Pyla-Koutsopetria I: Archaeological Survey of an Ancient Coastal Town
Fieldwalking on Vigla.
We are very pleased to release a digital version of Pyla-Koutsopetria I: Archaeological Survey of an Ancient Coastal Town (2014). We have modified this copy of the manuscript to include links to the archaeological data produced from 2003-2011 during almost a decade of intensive pedestrian survey and study by the Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project (PKAP). We have published our data with the Open Context platform where it underwent basic review by the managing editor. By integrating PKAP field and study data with Pyla-Koutsopetria I, the reader can now “drill down” into the data through hyperlinked text in a pdf version of the book. 

These links allow the reader to view the various digital archaeological “objects” that form the basis for the arguments advanced in this book. These digital archaeological objects range from individual survey units with attendant descriptive data to individual artifacts or batches of artifacts. We have also linked to the various categories of artifacts in our typology. These followed the chronotype system which both informed our sampling strategy in the survey and how we described our finds. We assigned a type to each artifact based on the chronotype naming conventions. These conventions combined a fabric or form with a period and could range from the exceedingly broad - like Medium Coarse Ware dating to the Ancient Historic period (750 BC- AD 749) – to much more narrowly defined and specific categories like African Red Slip Form 99. We have also linked to the various chronological periods assigned on the basis of the chronotype system which guided much of our analysis of artifact distribution in this book.

It is important to stress that this is a provisional document. In some ways, the book reflects the retrofitting of a traditional, analogue text with a layer (literally as well as figuratively) of links to our published digital material. As a result, we did not consider whether the data present in Open Context could be easily arranged by the user to replicate the analyses underpinning this analogue volume. For example, in the book, we organized our data spatially into zones which reflected both practical and archaeological divisions in our survey area. We have not arranged our data in Open Context in such a way that it is easy to query a zone for particular types of artifacts. In future projects, digital data and description will be more closely coordinated allowing the reader to explore the textual arguments more fully while still preserving the granularity of the original archaeological data.

This provisional digital edition would not have been possible without the cooperation of Eric and Sarah Kansa at Open Context who invited us to submit our data for publication at their site. Kevin M. McGeough and Hanan Charaf, the editors at the ASOR Archaeological Report Series, supported our distribution of this digital version of our work as did Charles Jones, the chair of the ASOR Committee on Publications, and Andy Vaughn, ASOR's Executive Director. We hope that this provisional publication represents a step forward in the publication of volumes with linked data.

Women's Classical Committee Publications
WCC-UK |
The Women’s Classical Committee was founded in 2015 in the United Kingdom with the following aims:
  • Support women* in classics**
  • Promote feminist and gender-informed perspectives in classics
  • Raise the profile of the study of women in antiquity and classical reception
  • Advance equality and diversity in classics
*By ‘women’ we include all those who self-define as women, including (if they wish) those with complex gender identities which include ‘woman’, and those who experience oppression as women.
** By ‘classics’ we understand the study of the ancient Mediterranean world and its reception, including but not limited to scholarship by students and post-holders in academic departments of Classics and Ancient History.
People of any gender expression or identity who support these aims are welcome to become members and to put themselves forward for office.

Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft (RE) ist die umfangreichste Enzyklopädie zum Altertum. Sie wurde ab 1890 von Georg Wissowa (1859–1931) herausgegeben und 1980 abgeschlossen. Sie führte die von August Friedrich Pauly (1796–1845) begründete Real-Encyclopädie der classischen Alterthumswissenschaft in alphabetischer Ordnung (1837–1864) fort und war als komplette Neubearbeitung konzipiert. Bis heute gilt die RE als Standardwerk der Altertumswissenschaft. Viele Artikel aus den ersten Bänden dieser Enzyklopädie sind mittlerweile gemeinfrei. Möglichst viele Artikel sollen hier sukzessive mit Hilfe von Scans digitalisiert werden.

How to use this site:
1. subscribe for daily updates Monday-Saturday
2. Check out our resources page for help with pronouncing Latin and Greek, finding grammars and guides, and much more
3. Send us your selection for analysis via our Viewer’s Choice feature. The world of Latin is rich and varied, waiting to be explored. Sometimes you need a pedagogus, an Orpheus to take you down into the details (and bring you back up katabatically).
4. Tell your friends and spread the word of simple, interesting Latin instruction with lots of variety
Exemplum regulam praecedit– show them, don’t just tell them!
Our pedagogical philosophy is that people learn language best when they see real-life uses in context, not merely abstractions. That is why each and every instance of Latin instruction is drawn from actual authors and texts, not manufactured exempla.

IT-Empfehlungen: Für den nachhaltigen Umgang mit digitalen Daten in den Altertumswissenschaften
Für die Durchführung archäologischer und altertumswissenschaftlicher Forschungsprojekte ist die Anwendung von In­formationstechnologien verschiedener Art immer geläufiger und selbstverständlicher. Dennoch fehlt es bis­lang an etablierten Strukturen, Standards und Verfahrensweisen, die allen Pro­jekten den erprobten und effizienten Einsatz von IT ermöglichen, Vergleichbarkeit ge­wonnener Datenbestände erlauben, übergreifend gleichwertige Qualität digitalen Ma­terials sicher­stellen und die langfristige Les- und Nutzbarkeit von Forschungsergebnissen in digi­taler Form garan­tieren. Durch die Einhaltung von Standards können nicht nur redundante Entwicklungsarbeiten mit zusätzlichen Finanzierungs-, Zeit- und Arbeits­aufwänden vermieden werden, sondern auch der Austausch von wissenschaftlichen Inhalten vereinfacht werden.

In zunehmendem Maße fordern auch wissenschaftspolitische Gremien (DFG, Wissenschaftsrat, Schwerpunktinitiative "Digitale Informationen") die Nachhaltigkeit und die Vernetzbarkeit digitaler wissenschaftlicher Informationen ein, was eine Auseinandersetzung mit Dateiformaten, Datenmanagement, Normen, Mindeststandards, semantischen Referenzmodellen, Dokumentations- und Austauschverfahren erforderlich macht - sowohl bei kleineren Projekten eines Einzelnen als auch bei größeren disziplinen- und institutionenübergreifenden Forschungen. Einheitliche und in den jeweiligen Fachcommunities abgestimmte Vorgehen eröffnen für die aktuelle und zukünftige Forschung neue Möglichkeiten, um auf einer größeren, qualitätvolleren und homogeneren Datengrundlage komplexe Fragestellungen besser als bisher beantworten zu können.

Абарис
Начиная с 1999 года Bibliotheca classica Pertopolitana совместно в Санкт-Петербургской классической гимназией издается журнал “Абарис», в котором печатаются статьи, доклады, стихи, переводы, рассказы о летних поездках, рисунки учеников, выпускников, учителей школы и ученых-антиковедов. Материалы каждого выпуска журнала посвящены какой-то теме — путешествиям в древнем мире, отдельным античным авторам, диковинным животным и т. д. Много внимания уделяется рассказам о постановках гимназического театра.

Since 1999, the Bibliotheca classica Pertopolitana and the Gymnasium classicum Petropolitanum publish ‘Abaris’ (the Magazine of Friends of Gymnasium classicum Petropolitanum), which includes articles, reports, poems, translations, summer travel accounts by pupils, graduates, teachers and classicists. Each issue is dedicated to a particular topic – such as travel in the ancient world, ancient Greek or Latin authors, fantastic creatures, etc. One of the sections tells about last performances of the school’s theatre.

Historische Literatur: Rezensionszeitschrift von H-Soz-u-Kult
ISSN: 1611-9509
http://edoc.hu-berlin.de/e_images/hub_logo2.jpg
Historische Literatur ist eine vier Mal jährlich erscheinende Rezensionszeitschrift von H-Soz-u-Kult, einem verbreiteten Internetforum für die Geschichtswissenschaften. Der Name steht für das Programm der Zeitschrift, denn Historische Literatur veröffentlicht ausschließlich Besprechungen aktueller historischer Publikationen und thematische Forschungs- und Literaturüberblicke. Sie berücksichtigt dabei ohne Privilegierung spezieller Forschungsansätze und Methoden ein möglichst breites Spektrum historisch relevanter Publikationen, die alle Epochen adäquat abdecken und fachliche, methodische wie regionale Aspekte angemessen einbinden. Dabei stehen die deutschsprachigen Neuerscheinungen im Vordergrund, jedoch findet die fremdsprachige Fachliteratur zunehmend Berücksichtigung.

Historische Literatur steht zudem auch für ein Experiment, denn die Zeitschrift bzw. deren Inhalt erscheint in mehrfacher Weise in hybrider Form. Die in den jeweiligen Quartalsbänden der Rezensionszeitschrift abgedruckten Besprechungen und Artikel wurden für H-Soz-u-Kult geschrieben und sowohl über den Mailverteiler einzeln an die Subskribenten des Forums verteilt als auch über die Websites von H-Soz-u-Kult in Berlin und des H-Net in Michigan der Fachöffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht. Die Besprechungen eines jeden Quartals wurden zwischen 2003 und 2008 zusätzlich in sowohl elektronisch wie gedruckt verfügbaren Heften zusammengefasst. Ende 2008 wurde die Druckausgabe aus finanziellen Erwägungen eingestellt; seit 2009 erscheinen die Quartalshefte nur noch in elektronischer Form auf dem Dokumenten- und Publikationsserver der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Die Rezensionszeitschrift Historische Literatur ist ein Kooperationsprojekt in mehrfacher Hinsicht: den Inhalt steuern die Fachredakteure von H-Soz-u-Kult durch ihre fortlaufende Arbeit bei, weshalb sie auch das gemeinsame Herausgeberkollektiv der Zeitschrift stellen. Die technische Realisation geht zurück auf eine Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Kooperationsprojekt Clio-online und den Mitarbeitern des von Einrichtungen der Humboldt-Universität, der Universitätsbibliothek und dem Computer- und Medienzentrum, getragenen Projektes edoc-Server (Dokumenten- und Publikationsserver).

IPinCH Newsletters: Intellectual Property Issues in Cultural Heritage
http://www.sfu.ca/ipinch/sites/all/themes/zeropoint/images/ipinch_header.png

Mission

The Intellectual Property Issues in Cultural Heritage (IPinCH) research project is an international collaboration of archaeologists, Indigenous organizations, lawyers, anthropologists, ethicists, policy makers, and others, working to explore and facilitate fair and equitable exchanges of knowledge relating to heritage. We are concerned with the theoretical, ethical, and practical implications of commodification, appropriation, and other flows of knowledge about the past, and how these may affect communities, researchers, and other stakeholders.

Vision

IPinCH provides a foundation of research, knowledge and resources to assist archaeologists, academic institutions, descendant communities, scholars, policy makers, and other stakeholders in negotiating more equitable and successful terms of research and policies through an agenda of community-based research and topical exploration of intellectual property (IP) issues. Our focus is on archaeology as a primary component of cultural heritage; however, this project is ultimately concerned with larger issues of the nature of knowledge and rights based on culture—how these are defined and used, who has control and access, and especially how fair and appropriate use and access can be achieved to the benefit of all stakeholders in the past.
