HEROM Journal on Hellenistic and Roman Material Culture
Print ISSN: 2294-4273
Online ISSN: 2294-4281
HEROM Volume 7 Issue 1 & 2, 2018 (Journal Subscription)
HEROM is an online journal presenting innovative contributions to the study of material culture produced, exchanged, and consumed within the spheres of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the Roman world. The journal publishes papers in the full range of the scholarly field and in all relevant academic disciplines within the arts, humanities, social sciences and environmental sciences. HEROM creates a bridge between material culture specialists and the wider scientific community, with an interest in how humans interacted with and regarded artefacts from the late 4th century BC to the 7th century AD.

The journal seeks to provide more visibility for studies of material culture in many ways which are not necessarily covered by existing scholarly journals or conference proceedings. HEROM studies material culture in its totality, with a view to clarifying the complex wider implications of such evidence for understanding a host of issues concerning the economy, society, daily life, politics, religion, history of the ancient world, among other aspects.

A peer-reviewed online journal
HEROM contains Guaranteed Peer Reviewed Content (GPRC), coordinated by a strong, global scientific committee, and implements up-to-date online publication strategies.

Arimnestos. Ricerche di protostoria mediterranea
ISSN: 2611-5867
Arimnestos, logo Museo, Comune di Verucchio.
La rivista nasce con l’intento di proseguire l’attività di ricerca avviata ormai da molti anni dal Museo Civico Archeologico di Verucchio. Obiettivo centrale del Museo è sempre stato quello di unire un approccio scientifico rigoroso ad una proposta accessibile e godibile da parte del pubblico. Il primo numero si articola in tre sezioni distinte. La prima, dedicata a Verucchio, si apre con due relazioni sui dati d’archivio relativi ai materiali conservati nel Museo Nazionale Preistorico Etnografico L. Pigorini di Roma e nel Museo Civico Archeologico di Bologna e alle ricerche e dati di archivio relativi alla Necropoli Lippi. Si prosegue con la presentazione dei dati di scavo: schede preliminari di ulteriori tombe scavate nella necropoli Lippi tra il 2006 e il 2008; studio dei resti botanici della ricchissima tomba Lippi 12/2005; relazione sull’intervento in area di insediamento in Via Nanni. Vengono inoltre inserite altre presentazioni complete di classi di materiali classificati tipologicamente. Nella seconda sezione, dedicata all’Emilia-Romagna, viene presentato il tema dei troni in legno, anche alla luce di altri scavi condotti a Bologna e Imola, e lo scavo della necropoli di Pontesanto a Imola. La terza sezione vede un contributo sulle tombe a inumazione della necropoli Emo di Padova, uno sulle perle di vetro a uccellino e infine uno sul metodo narrativo nell’arte delle situle.
This journal was created with the intention of continuing the research which has for many years been carried out by the Museo Civico Archeologico of Verucchio. The main aim of the Museum is that of combining a rigorous scientific approach with one which is both accessible and pleasing to the public. The first issue is divided into three sections. The first, dedicated to Verucchio, opens with two reports on archive data. One deals with archival material relating to material kept in the Museo Nazionale Preistorico L. Pigorini of Rome, and in the Museo Civico Archeologico of Bologna, and the other with archival material relating to research and excavations concerning the Lippi necropolis. Then there are a set of papers presenting excavation data: reports on some more of the tombs excavated between 2005 and 2009 in the Lippi necropolis (40 tombs had been published in the 2015 volume); a study of the botanical remains from the very rich tomb Lippi 12/2005; and a paper on the excavation in Via Nanni which revealed part the settlement. Finally, there are four papers each presenting in full a catalogue of a single class of material and its typological classification. The second section, dedicated to Emilia-Romagna, consists of a paper on the wooden thrones from Verucchio, viewing them in the wider context of other excavations conducted at Bologna and Imola, and a paper on the excavation in the necropolis of Pontesanto at Imola. The third section contains a paper on the inhumation burials in the necropolis of Emo at Padua, one on glass bird beads, and finally one on the narrative method in situla art.

Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (OSHB) version 2.0
We are pleased to announce the release of the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (OSHB) version 2.0!
This version includes the fully completed and verified morphological data for the entire Hebrew Bible (following the WLC). See the wlc folder in the attached source files or download the OSHB-v.2.0.zip file if you just want the OSIS files directly.
A page that describes the morphology codes that we use may be found at OSHB Morph Codes. You may also see the overarching parsing principles we used for consistency.
The 2.0 release completes phase 1 of the morphology project. Many thanks and congratulations to the over 500 people that have contributed to this project over the course of 10 years!
For the OSHB Team,
Jesse Griffin
P.S. There is a companion project to the OSHB that is a basic Hebrew reference grammar, the unfoldingWord Hebrew Grammar. This grammar is based on the morphology codes in the OSHB and should therefore be easy to embed in software applications that make use of the OSHB.

unfoldingWord Hebrew Grammar

Introduction

The unfoldingWord Hebrew Grammar (UHG) is a Biblical Hebrew reference grammar based on the morphology codesthat appear in the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (OSHB). It enables the global Church to gain the best possible understanding of the Hebrew grammar of the Old Testament.

Rationale

The rationale behind creating the first version of the UHG was to provide an openly licensed and up to date reference grammar for direct use with the OSHB. Such a grammar may be used in software to provide students and translators of Scripture with up to date and accurate descriptions of Hebrew grammar on an as needed basis. Because the articles are directly patterned after the morphological categories of the OSHB, it is easy for software to link directly to them.

Methodology

A team of scholars and technicians worked together to create and revise each of the articles in the UHG over the course of a year and a half. The creation process included individuals drafting glossary and article entries for each grammatical topic and then a series of peer reviews of each. Several meetings were held to help standardize the format of the articles and to discuss difficult issues as they arose.
The differentiation between the glossary entries and the articles is similar to the approach of many Wikipedia articles. The glossary entry is a one or two sentence summary of the grammatical topic, while the article goes into much more detail and includes several examples. This has the effect of being useful in a pop up or tooltip in software applications, which may provide immediate access to the glossary in the pop up and then link to the full article.
A unique design goal was to make the language of the grammar as simple as possible so that the resource can more easily be translated into the Gateway Languages of the world. This should also have the effect of rendering the grammar accessible to people of varied educational backgrounds and varied proficiency in the English language.
The work was completed using an online content creation and translation platform, the Door43 Content Service. Because of this, all the work is under revision control, you can go back and see the commit historyif you’d like (it totals over 2500 commits at the time of writing).

Greek Lexica for Students and Readers (Test)

Greek Lexica for Students and Readers (Test)
This site is intended as a repository of dictionaries for readers of Ancient Greek Texts. The idea is that your reading of a text will be a much better experience the least time you need to look up for the words on the dictionary, but you need to use the dictionary! Currently this is only a test. In time, it will develop into a place where students and readers will be able to download (and upload, too) lexica tailored for their readings of the Greek classics. To test the idea and the design, here you can download the lexicon for the first book of the Iliad. Lexica come in two flavours: extended and short (see description below), and each flavour has two versions, pdf or epub.
Please note that, as of now, the lexica contains many mistakes. Some of them come from mishaps in the digital transcription of the texts, or errata in lemmatization, and some of them are my own.

Please, send your comments and ideas to Daniel!

n.b. BIFAO is is now also beginning to emerge at Open EditionVolume 1116 (2017) appeared there in early December 2018.

Le Bulletin de l’Institut français d’archéologie orientale (BIFAO)
http://www.ifao.egnet.net/bifao/bifaos.jpg
Le BIFAO est maintenant disponible en ligne pour tous les numéros jusqu’au 100 (2000). Le site rassemble près de 1 650 articles pour un total de plus de 35 000 pages de texte et d’illustrations, permettant l’accès direct aux numéros de la revue qui sont actuellement pour une très grande part épuisés. Ce site est destiné à être mis à jour régulièrement. Les sommaires de tous les numéros (1 à 111) sont également accessibles sur ce site.  
Issu d’un projet lancé par l’Ifao en 2001, cet outil de recherche est le fruit de la collaboration, au sein de l’institut, de l’imprimerie, du service des publications et du service informatique. La première phase, réalisée à l’imprimerie, a consisté à scanner les 95 premiers volumes du Bulletin de l’Institut français d’archéologie orientale, puis à appliquer aux fichiers obtenus le traitement optique de reconnaissance des caractères. Les numéros récents déjà disponibles sous forme électronique ont été ajoutés. Le service des publications a effectué ensuite la relecture et la correction des tables des matières. L’ensemble des données a ensuite été transmis au service informatique qui a réalisé l’indexation du texte et sa mise en ligne.

Dodona Online(DOL): A New Collection and Edition of the lamellae of the Oracle at Dodona
AMI 1724_bis.jpg
Dodona Online (DOL) is a project whose main aim is to edit online all the oracular questions from Dodona. It will first include the 4216 new lamellae from the Evangelidis’ excavations, whose edition, which was long prepared by late researchers I. Vokotopoulou, S. Dakaris and A.-Ph. Christidis, was eventually published in 2013, thanks to the devoted efforts of S. Tselikas. Montreal is the epicentre of the project, but the team itself is scattered all over the world, mainly in Europe. It gathers the most eminent scholars of the Dodonaean field, Greek epigraphy, and Greek religion. Dodona online will eventually be hosted by the Perseus Digital Library, which will allow a worldwide, quick, free, and open access to the material.

Présentation du Choix d’inscriptions oraculaires de Dodone (CIOD)
Le CIOD, dirigé par Éric LHÔTE, est un sous-programme de Dodona Online, dirigé par Pierre Bonnechere. Dans cette entreprise, EL est étroitement associé à Jan-Mathieu CARBON, d’une grande compétence en épigraphie et en informatique. Les deux programmes sont complémentaires : DOL se consacre à un dépouillement systématique des 4216 inscriptions de DVC en vue d’une exploitation informatique et statistique, tandis que CIOD offre un choix des inscriptions les plus intéressantes, présentées sous forme canonique et en PDF. Chaque fiche est datée de sa dernière mise à jour, et le mail qui est indiqué permet à tout lecteur d’adresser ses critiques ou suggestions au responsable, qui s’engage à citer nommément les correspondants dont il retiendra les idées. Cette formule permet de mettre immédiatement à la disposition du public les interprétations que nous supposons plausibles, quitte à les modifier au gré de l’avancement des recherches, et des remarques des uns et des autres. Notre but est une présentation aussi concise et synthétique que possible, dans l’esprit de la Sammlung par exemple.

The Project and its Aims

The open-access electronic Corpus of Urartian Texts (eCUT) Project, a sub-project of the Munich Open-access Cuneiform Corpus Initiative (MOCCI) prepared by Birgit Christiansen, is the first electronic corpus of the written sources from the kingdom of Urartu, which in the first half of the 1st millennium stretched from its eastern Anatolian capital Ṭušpa (today's Van) over the Armenian highlands and was one of the most fierce adversaries of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. Moreover, eCUT is the first corpus that presents Urartian texts in transliterations with annotations of individual words (lemmatization), English translations, and glossaries of Urartian words, proper nouns, and logograms. The editions are based on Mirjo Salvini's Corpus dei testi urartei I–V, which, to date, is by far the most comprehensive and most recent scholarly treatment of Urartian texts. In addition to the editions, the portal pages of the eCUT project provide further information on Urartu's history and culture and the Urartian language, in which most of the text from the Urartian kingdom are composed. The project thus intends to help the kingdom of Urartu escape its shadowy existence, which it holds in the cultural memory of today's world, and to increase knowledge about its rich archaeological and written sources among scholars, students, and interested members of the public.

Important Notes

Please note that eCUT is still a work in progress. We kindly ask you to be patient with us as we expand, improve, and refine our content, and to bear in mind that the information presently included on the eCUT website is still incomplete and is subject to change, without warning. In the course of 2019, the editions of the stone and rock inscriptions will be refined and complimented with score transliterations, information about individual exemplars of texts, as well as commentaries and bibliographic references. In addition, we will add editions of archival texts on clay tablets, as well as inscriptions on bronze and silver objects, agate stone and bone, and inscriptions on seals, pithoi and clay bullae. For further information, see the About the project page. Should you wish to cite the texts edited on the eCUT Project in a forthcoming publication, please contact Birgit Christiansen (birgit.christiansen@lrz.uni-muenchen.de) and she will suggest the best way to reference the text(s). Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Furthermore, please note that the Urartian language belongs to the lesser known languages of the ancient Near East. Many Urartian sources are, to date, only partially understandable. Another obstacle is that many texts are only fragmentarily preserved. Transliterations and translations in eCUT, therefore, often contain omission marks, round and square brackets and words marked with question marks. For further information see the portal page "Using eCUT" and the portal page "Language and Writing".

Epoiesen – A journal for creative engagement in history and archaeology
signature_nikosthenes_f102
Epoiesen (ἐποίησεν) – made – is a journal for exploring creative engagement with the past, especially through digital means. It publishes primarily what might be thought of as “paradata” or artist’s statements that accompany playful and unfamiliar forms of singing the past into existence.
What have you made? What will you make? This journal, in its online home, makes space to valorize and recognize the scholarly ways of knowing that are expressed well beyond the text. Bill White reminds us why society allows archaeologists to exist in the first place:

The Dietrich von Bothmer Fragment Collection Online

The Dietrich von Bothmer Fragment Collection Online
The collection is a study resource of over 16,000 fragments of Greek vases assembled by Dietrich von Bothmer, former head of the Department of Greek and Roman Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Bothmer began acquiring the pieces in the late 1960s, around the time he began to teach. On his death in 2009, he bequeathed them to The Met, which accepted them with the approval of the Italian Ministry for Cultural Property and Activity. Between 2013 and 2018, the Department of Greek and Roman Art, together with the Imaging and Digital Departments, accessioned, photographed, and digitized the collection. It is a work in progress that The Met is pleased to make available online. A selection of fragments is on view in gallery 157.
Born in 1918, Dietrich von Bothmer joined the Department of Greek and Roman Art at the Metropolitan Museum in 1946. He became head of the Department in 1959 and Chairman in 1973 until his retirement in 1990; thereafter, he was the Distinguished Research Curator until his death. While his competence extended to all areas of classical art, as reflected by his acquisitions, publications, and teaching, his particular expertise lay in Greek vase-painting, notably that of Athens.
Following in the footsteps of his mentor, the great English scholar Sir John Beazley, Bothmer's special interest lay in reassembling ancient vases—actually, or on paper—from their component pieces that had become dispersed. He formed his study collection in large measure to make it possible for fragments of vases, many of which came from the backfill of nineteenth-century excavations, to be reunited and joined together. This work has benefitted museums worldwide.
The Met website presents the contents of the study collection and records the identifications that Bothmer provided for the vase fragments. The primary rubrics are the fabric (the geographical region where the object was made); the shape of the original whole vase; the subject of the figural decoration; and the artist. The majority of attributions are Bothmer's own; the initial cataloguing has not gone beyond this stage of documenting his work.
Given the large number of pieces, they have been subdivided into groups for ease of reference. After the general accession number for the entire bequest (2011.604.), the subgroups are:
2011.604.1Attic red-figure kylikes (cups)
2011.604.2Attic red-figure shapes other than cups
2011.604.3Attic black-figure vases
2011.604.4Attic fragments from the Bothmer and Love collections
2011.604.5Black-glaze fragments from Attic cups
2011.604.6Black-glaze fragments from Attic shapes other than cups
2011.604.8Corinthian
2011.604.9Laconian
2011.604.10Etruscan
2011.604.11Chalcidian
2011.604.12South Italian
2011.604.13East Greek
2011.604.14Fabric unknown
2011.604.15Caeretan
2011.604.16Megarian
2011.604.17Roman
2011.604.18Byzantine
2011.604.20Terracottas
2011.604.21Bronzes
2011.604.22Glass
2011.604.23Miscellaneous Bone and Ivory 
The photography records the appearance of the fragments, obverse and reverse. In view of the quantity, they have not been measured individually but appear on a grid measuring 1 cm. The reverses in many cases retain the stickers, attached by Bothmer, that identify the year in which he acquired the fragment and the source. Some stickers also indicate dimensions.
Communications to the Museum concerning the fragments may be sent to fragmentcollection@metmuseum.org. Appointments to study the original works may also be made by writing to that address. Individuals must indicate the purpose of their study and provide a list, by accession number, of the objects they wish to see.

Poesia latina
Il proposito di queste pagine è quello di facilitare per quanto possibile lo studio e la conoscenza delle lingue e delle letterature dell'antichità classica. L'utilizzo delle tecnologie messe a disposizione dal web e più in generale dagli strumenti informatici e multimediali potrà risultare utile a chi intenda approfondire lo studio dell'antichità greco-romana in ambito scolastico o per puro interesse culturale.

Nello studio della lingua greca e latina le numerose pagine interattive potranno consentire sia una più agevole visualizzazione dei contenuti che una valutazione del proprio livello di apprendimento.

Una particolare attenzione, almeno nei propositi, è dedicata alla poesia greca e latina ed alla metrica, che della poesia classica costituisce il mezzo espressivo caratterizzante ed essenziale.

Nei limiti del possibile saranno affrontati in un'unica trattazione alcuni argomenti che coinvolgono entrambe le lingue classiche, come appunto la metrica, l'analisi logica e l'analisi del periodo, con esemplificazioni che consentiranno di evidenziare analogie e differenze mediante una visualizzazione sinottica dei vari contenuti.

Data l'ampiezza del progetto tutte le sezioni che costituiscono il sito sono da considerare attualmente in fase di costruzione e pertanto incomplete.

Ringrazio anticipatamente quanti vorranno collaborare con proposte, suggerimenti e segnalazioni di errori o problemi.

Bulletin of the Council of University Classical Departments
Council of University Classical Departments | CUCD
Welcome to CUCD Bulletin, the forum for raising, reflecting on and debating issues of academic and professional significance for UK classics teachers (of all sorts – ECRs, PhD students, in-post academics, visiting lecturers, hourly-paid staff etc.) As editor, a role I’ve held since Bulletin 40 (2011), I welcome pieces of various shapes – from short reports on pedagogical events/projects through to longer, reflective articles. Recent issues have included obituaries celebrating the lives of late colleagues. Each number is crowned by the statistics on student numbers. Do contact me if you would like to offer a piece or suggest a topic. We publish throughout the year, building up to a publication ‘moment’ each winter.
