THE SO-CALLED PELEUS AND THETIS SARCOPHAGUS IN THE VILLA ALBANI
J C Gieben. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 9050632467 . Iconological Studies in Roman Art No Iconological Studies in Roman Art No 1; 0.9 x 8.9 x 6 Inches; 179 pages; In this iconological study the author demonstrates the invalidity of the current interpretation of the relief on the so-called Peleus and Thetis sarcophagus in the Villa Albani in Rome an interpretation which goes back to Winckelmann. By applying a modern art-historical method he arives at a fundamentally new interpretation. It becomes clear that the splendid sarcophagus in the Villa Albani is highly characteristic of academic art of the Hadrianic era. The unique nature of the representation on the Albani sarcophagus which consists mainly of allegorical figures makes it an excellent point of entry for the interpretation of mythological scenes applied in a funerary context. .

Doch seine Fragestellungen sind immer noch aufregend und ganz und gar nicht überholt. Heinz Luschey sagte dazu: "Das Bildmaterial ist nicht so sehr neu es ist aber neu gesehen"; oder: ". Denn in der Bewegungsrichtung allein der Gestalten schon liegt etwas was außer J. D. Beazley eigentlich niemand in unserer Wissenschaft gesehen hat. Wer sieht schon das Einfache" Bernhard Schweitzer der damalige Ordinarius für Klassische Archäologie in Tübingen habilitierte Heinz Luschey mit dieser Arbeit und schloß sein Gutachten vom 22. 12. 1955 mit der Formulierung: "in summa: ein sehendes Auge und ein produktives Denken Verantwortung vor Wissenschaft und Sprache didaktische Begabung endlich die Erfahrung und die Sicherheit eines reifen Gelehrten stehen hinter der vorgelegten Arbeit. " Karl Schefold Klassischer Archäologe aus Basel meinte 1993 dazu: "Als hervorragender Kenner der griechischen und römischen aber auch der fernöstlichen und alt-orientalischen Kunst und mit seinem feinen Sinn für die Form des Kunstwerks hat er dieses Problem in einen weltgeschichtlichen Zusammenhang gestellt. " Und Heinz Gaube Orientalist aus Tübingen: "Nun liegt die Arbeit technisch auf den wissenschaftlich neuesten Stand gebracht vor. Ich schrieb "technisch" d. H. Die Anmerkungen denn inhaltlich ist an diesem Wurf nichts zu ändern. Die Arbeit ist ein "Klassiker" und kann in dieser Art von niemandem wiederholt werden. " . Ernst Wasmuth hardcover

The second lecture describes the cult both local and official and the purpose of the open-air temple at Yazilikaya. The third is devoted to Hittite rituals of elimination and substitution and the mortuary ritual for the King. Parallels are drawn with the biblical masseba as a cult object and with the scapegoat ritual of Leviticus. . Oxford University Press hardcover

Themistocles favored the expansion of the navy to meet the Persian threat and persuaded the Athenians to spend the surplus generated by their silver mines on building new ships - the Athenian navy grew from 70 to 200 ships. Despite the importance of this enigmatic figure in Greek history our knowledge still largely comes from the ancient accounts of Herodotus Thucydides and Plutarch. Podlecki provides the first modern comprehensive assessment of Themistocles based on literary and archaeological evidence. . Mcgill-Queen's University Press hardcover

THE VISIGOTHS FROM THE MIGRATION PERIOD TO THE SEVENTH CENTURY An Ethnographic Perspective
Boydell Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 0851157629 . Dustjacket has very minor rubbing. ; Studies in Historical Archaeoethnology; 1.8 x 9.77 x 6.98 Inches; 488 pages; Between 376 and 476 the Roman Empire in western Europe was dismantled by aggressive outsiders `barbarians' as the Romans labelled them. Chief among these were the Visigoths a new force of previously separate Gothic and other groups from south-west France initially settled by the Romans but subsequently from the middle of the fifth century achieving total independence from the failing Roman Empire and extending their power from the Loire to the Straits of Gibraltar. These studies draw on literary and archaeological evidence to address important questions thrown up by the history of the Visigoths and of the kingdom they generated: the historical processes which led to their initial creation; the emergence of the Visigothic kingdom in the fifth century; and the government society culture and economy of the `mature' kingdom of the sixth and seventh centuries. A valuable feature of the collection reflecting the switch of the centre of the Visigothic kingdom from France to Spain from the beginning of the sixth century is the inclusion in English of current Spanish scholarship.

The main historical significance of Dr. Janse's archaeological documents is to be found in the fact that they not only introduce to us the Chinese conquerors of what was to become Vietnam at the very moment when they were laying its foundations as a civilized nation buy they also reflect on Chinese culture and conditions even at home and may help to give us a clearer idea of what the Chinese were about the beginning of our era and what their quest was so far south of the Honanese cradle of their civilization. .

PHRYGIAN ROCK-CUT SHRINES Structure Function and Cult Practice
Brill Academic Publishers. Fine with no dust jacket. 2006. Hardcover. 9004152423 . Unwrapped in plastic. ; Culture and History of the Ancient Near East; 11.25 x 1 x 8.5 Inches; 438 pages; This volume explores the Iron Age Phrygian rock-cut monuments in Anatolia and defines their role in religion. Among other features this book questions the traditional view of the Mother goddess Kybele being the only Phrygian deity. A detailed analysis based on the monuments provides new interpretations and aspects of Phrygian religion: the Mother goddess was not alone but rather accompanied by a Superior male god. For the first time all known Phrygian rock-cut monuments are brought together in the useful corpus with plenty of illustrations. It is a unique and significant contribution to the study of Phrygian religion and spatial conceptualization and is useful both for those interested in Anatolian culture and archaeology but also in fields such as classical religion and archaeology. .
