The Database of Byzantine Book Epigrams (DBBE)
The Database of Byzantine Book Epigrams (DBBE) is an ongoing project that makes available both textual and contextual data of book epigrams - also known as “metrical paratexts” - from medieval Greek manuscripts dating up to the fifteenth century. We define book epigrams as poems in and on books: they have as subject the very manuscript in which they are found, elaborating on its production, contents and use.

We distinguish between two kinds of textual material, namely occurrences and types. Further explanation of our definitions and working principles is to be found on the Help page. A technical guide to the use of DBBE is to be found on the Search tips and tricks page.

Survey of Mediterranean Survey Projects
We are conducting a survey of Mediterranean Survey Projects, which has two main purposes:
  1. We intend to use the data gathered here as part of a review article on archaeological survey in the Mediterranean world for Journal of Archaeological Research. We see this as an excellent opportunity to compile and aggregate data about historical, recent, and ongoing survey projects, as gathered from the people who have participated in and run these projects. The goal is to collect basic information and compare research and fieldwork practices across the Mediterranean. We also want to be aware of, access, and cite as broad a range of survey work as possible. Your responses will help us do that.
  2. We also plan to integrate this data into an online database at Fieldwalker.org, which aims to provide a very simple and open spatial directory of current and past systematic survey projects across the Mediterranean, with project website and data links, enabling readers to find projects and connect quickly to data sources. Information about methods and some quantitative elements are designed to allow quick comparisons between projects, and complement the strengths of other online inventories of survey projects (like Fasti or MAGIS). This survey is a starting point. If you would like to provide more information about your project, there will be an opportunity to do that as well.
Please fill out the form linked below with information about your project. This will take about 10 minutes. Please fill out one form per project, but do not worry about duplication if another member of the team fills out a form for the same project (duplicates will be edited out).


Thank you for participating in this short survey, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Cornell Collections of Antiquities
Photograph of frieze from Cornell Collection of Antiquities
Cornell University owns several collections of antiquities – originals and reproductions – from the ancient Mediterranean. Acquired mostly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, their primary purpose was to serve as hands-on material for teaching and research. Once housed in the ground floor of Goldwin Smith Hall, the University’s former Museum of Archaeology, they are now dispersed over several institutions, colleges, departments and buildings on campus. This website aims to reunite them again so that faculty, students and laypeople alike in Ithaca and beyond can discover these precious resources. So far, the collection of plaster casts, ancient coins, gems, photographs and squeezes are being documented and catalogued.

Resources for Classical Civilisation and Ancient History

Resources for Classical Civilisation and Ancient History
ACE Classics Logo
ACE recently put out a call for resources on a range of Class Civ and Ancient History topics which teachers had told us they wanted support with. We’ve had a really positive response, and while not every topic has been covered, we’re delighted to share some useful content below. Many of these were pulled from the Classics Library, so huge thanks to that entire community for its ongoing support of Classics teaching, as well as @NCCHistory.
There’s still time to reach out with more resources if you have them; just email ace@kcl.ac.uk.
I’ve just moved into school teaching myself after completing my PhD at King’s. So I know how important it is to pool resources, share best practice and support each other as we work to expand Classical subjects in schools across the country. In the wider school environment, Classical subjects can sometimes be overlooked as less important than the ‘core’ subjects. But as Classics teachers, we know the huge benefits a Classical education gives students; for skills acquisition, for future prospects, and also for their own well-being and engagement. This is particularly true of Classical Civilisation and Ancient History, with their wide-ranging syllabuses.
I’m therefore proud to be a newly-minted school teacher, and proud to be continuing my work with ACE to ensure that every child gets the opportunity of a Classical education.

À partir de tous les types de textes disponibles, les actes de ce colloque international invitent à s’interroger sur les mots et les discours relatifs à la ville dans les territoires où l’on a parlé grec au cours de l’Antiquité et du Moyen Âge. L’étude du vocabulaire et du langage vise à mieux comprendre le sens des mots eux-mêmes, leur évolution dans le temps, leur variation selon les régions et la diversité de leurs usages dans des écrits de nature différente. Elle a aussi pour but d’expliciter les représentations mentales qui tout à la fois sous‑tendent l’usage de ces mots et en résultent. Comment les mots de la ville se façonnent-ils ? Comment les mots façonnent-ils la ville ?
Les articles, consacrés à un terme pris isolément, à une famille lexicale, à un champ sémantique ou à une œuvre concernant des mondes urbains réels ou fictifs, examinent la ville dans son ensemble, ses édifices, les activités conçues comme proprement urbaines, ou les personnes qui y vivent. Ils sont répartis en quatre chapitres intitulés « Des hommes et des villes », « Composantes et composition de l’espace urbain », « Nommer et classer les villes » et « Des villes dans un empire ».

Arabian Epigraphic Notes: An Open Access Online Journal on Arabian Epigraphy
ISSN: 2451-8875
The Arabian Peninsula contains one of the richest epigraphic landscapes in the Old World, and new texts are being discovered with every expedition to its deserts and oases. Arabian Epigraphic Notes is a forum for the publication of these epigraphic finds, and for the discussion of relevant historical and linguistic issues. The Arabian Peninsula is broadly defined as including the landmass between the Red Sea and the Arabo-Persian gulf, and stretching northward into the Syrian Desert, Jordan, and adjacent cultural areas. In order to keep up with the rapid pace of discoveries, our online format will provide authors the ability to publish immediately following peer-review, and will make available for download high resolution, color photographs. The open-access format will ensure as wide a readership as possible.
AEN invites original articles and short communications dealing with the Ancient South Arabian, Ancient North Arabian, Nabataean (and Aramaic in general), Arabic, and Greek epigraphy from the Arabian Peninsula, but also from other areas so long as the link to Arabia and its cultures is clear. The language of the Journal is English. Review articles will also be considered.
Arabian Epigraphic Notes is essential reading for all interested in the languages and scripts of the ancient Near East, and of interest to students of Northwest Semitic epigraphy, Cuneiform studies, Egyptology, and classical antiquity. We hope that the journal will contribute to our understanding of the languages and cultures of Arabia, from their earliest attestations until the contemporary period. It is hoped that the journal’s accessibility will further help integrate the epigraphy and languages of ancient Arabia into the broader field of Semitic Philology.

Politics of Value: New Approaches to Early Money and the State
Elon D. Heymans , Marleen K. Termeer (Hrsg.)
 Panel 5.11 Archaeology and Economy in the Ancient World – Proceedings of the 19th International Congress of Classical Archaeology, Cologne/Bonn 2018
 Politics of Value: New Approaches to Early Money and the State 
Als eine der beständigsten Ikonen des Wirtschaftslebens war Geld von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart ein gemeinsames Merkmal und ein zentraler Fokuspunkt in komplexen Gesellschaften. Im Laufe des ersten Jahrtausends v. Chr. gewann es als wesentliches Merkmal der Volkswirtschaften des Mittelmeerraums an Gewicht, meist in Form von Münzen. Aber Geld ist mehr als nur eine Münze, und seine Bedeutung ist nicht nur im engeren Feld der "Wirtschaft" allgegenwärtig.
Im antiken Mittelmeerraum waren Geld und sein Bedeutungsgewinn überwiegend mit dem Staat assoziiert. Aber kann Geld nur unter staatlicher Autorität entstehen? Der vorliegende Band hinterfragt den vermuteten Zusammenhang zwischen der Verbreitung früher Geldformen und dem Staat und macht auf verschiedene Möglichkeiten aufmerksam, wie Geld als Innovation verankert und gesellschaftlich eingebettet werden konnte.

TARII was established in 1989 to promote scholarly research on and in Iraq and ancient Mesopotamia. The Institute, a consortium of American universities and museums, intends to establish a multidisciplinary American scholarly research center in Iraq when conditions permit. TARII raises funds for graduate and post-graduate fellowships for Americans to work on Iraq in as broad a range of disciplines as possible. It also has a fellowship program for Iraqi academics to aid them in carrying out research in Iraq. TARII initiates its own research projects and fosters joint projects between American and Iraqi academics. Like similar American overseas research centers, TARII has as its primary focus the humanities and social sciences, as well as closely related natural sciences, but it will facilitate outstanding research in any legitimate academic field. 
TARII was formerly the American Association for Research in Baghdad (AARB) and The American Academic Research Institute in Iraq (TAARII). For security reasons, TAARII has operated as The Academic Research Institute in Iraq (TARII) since 2017.

Eugène Piot (1812-1890), esthète et archéologue, qui voulait contribuer au développement de la recherche et du goût dans le vaste domaine de l’art depuis le temps des anciennes cultures de l’Orient jusqu’à la Renaissance, légua sa fortune à l’Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. La Compagnie du quai de Conti décida alors de publier, grâce aux revenus de la Fondation Piot, des Monuments et Mémoires consacrés aux études d’art et d’archéologie, collection très richement illustrée dont le premier volume parut en 1894.

Archeologie Sperimentali
Logo per l'intestazione della pagina
Archeologie Sperimentali è una rivista scientifica digitale edita dall'Università di Torino e pubblicata con cadenza annuale. Nasce con l'intento di colmare il vuoto editoriale che caratterizza l'Archeologia Sperimentale italiana che, pur essendo riconosciuta come un valido strumento di conoscenza, non ha un luogo dedicato al dialogo tra l'archeologia, le scienze e la sperimentazione.

La rivista si rivolge alla comunità scientifica internazionale per accogliere contributi innovativi ed originali che approfondiscono la conoscenza delle culture antiche attraverso l'utilizzo dei metodi sperimentali. In particolare, l'attenzione è rivolta alle esperienze che operano nel campo dell'Archeologia Sperimentale, dell'Archeologia della Produzione, della Storia delle Tecnologie, dell'Artigianato Storico e dell'Esperienzialità.

L'obiettivo è quello di diffondere l'adozione di approcci pratici, sperimentali e multidisciplinari allo studio del dato archeologico, promuovendo la ripresa del dibattito sui significati e sui metodi dell'Archeologia Sperimentale e creando un luogo di incontro tra ricercatori che operano all'interno di questo ambito. Archeologie Sperimentali aderisce alla "Dichiarazione di Berlino" promuovendo la diffusione online gratuita dei dati e favorendo la comunicazione ed il dibattito scientifico; il progetto riconosce al lettore il diritto di accedere liberamente e gratuitamente ai risultati della ricerca scientifica.

Revista Internacional de Derecho Romano
ISSN: 1989-1970
OBJECTIVES

The International Review of Roman Law, created under the auspices of the Ibero-American Association of Roman Law and of the University of Castilla-La Mancha, is focused on accepting research within the ambit of the Roman Law, Romanistic Tradition and Historical-Juridical Sciences, and difussing its results. The aim of Ridrom is to overcome all geographical frontiers and it is open to all like-minded individuals and institutions. The review also covers the activities of the Ibero-American Association, along with any news or information that may be of interest to the Romanistic community.


The RIDROM aspires to become a reference publication within its field. In order to achieve this, the rigour and quality of all contributions will be guaranteed through an evaluation by researchers of accredited claim and prestige.


FORMAT


RIDROM is a periodic scientific publication in electronic format (HTML format). It doesn't have printed edition, although the published articles will also be conserved in paper support.


FREQUENCY OF PUBLICATION


RIDROM is a biannual publication. Editions will be published in the months of April and October respectively.


LANGUAGE


RIDROM will be published in Spanish and English. Nevertheless, it is possible for articles to be published in any other language of considerable scientific diffusion (German, French, Italian, Portuguese). That said, the translation of the article into English, on the part of the author, inevitably facilitates its diffusion and impact considerably.


SECTIONS


RIDROM is divided up into four main sections: summaries, news, view of reviews and links. Under "Summaries", information on the articles of each edition will be given, along with the corresponding abstracts, and shall be divided by articles /file. In the "News" section, forthcoming events, meetings, congresses, seminars, courses, publications, etc., will be detailed. "View of reviews" section will detail information regarding other magazines. Finally, under "Links", we shall provide information on other interesting resources available on-line.

Bulletin of the British Foundation For the Study of Arabia
ISSN: 1361-9144
ISSN: 2050-2036
The BFSA publishes an annual bulletin (formerly the Bulletin of the Society for Arabian Studies) in the spring giving information on current research, publications, field work, conferences and events in the Arabian peninsula in fields ranging from archaeology and history to natural history and the environment. It also carries feature articles and book reviews.

Submissions for short notices of ongoing or forthcoming research are welcome, as is information on interesting conferences, exhibitions and events relating to the study of the Arabian Peninsula.
Notices are intended to raise awareness of the range and scope of current research in the Arabian Peninsula. They should be short abstracts or summaries, between 300- 700 words, followed by bibliographic references to recent publications and links to relevant department or project websites. Photographs would be welcome, too, and should be at least 300 dpi; please indicate the copyright in each case. Research notices published by the Bulletin constitute an excellent means to raise the profile of your research amongst peers and provides a platform for cross-disciplinary collaboration. Email your contribution to current_research@thebfsa.org.
Current and back issues can be purchased at the Seminar for Arabian Studies in July each year or from the BFSA (contact@thebfsa.org). Printed back-copies of the Bulletin are £5.00 each. Previous issues may also be downloaded free of charge in pdf format by clicking on the cover images below.

Open Access Journal: L’Année épigraphique

L’Année épigraphique
ISSN: 0066-2348
ISSN en ligne: 2492-0509 
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.
