2005Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beitrage (PAwB) Band 7 ; 276 pages; Seit Urzeiten erfordert die Begegnung mit Fremden, insbesondere die Aufnahme von Fremden in die eigene Gesellschaft oder in das eigene Haus groae Aufmerksamkeit und Umsicht. Nie ist das Fremde etwas Beilaufiges. Immer hat es den Charakter des Besonderen. Wie war in den alten Gesellschaften der Kelten, der Agypter, der Griechen und der Romer der Umgang mit Fremden geregelt? Stand eher die Angst, die Xenophobie, im Vordergrund oder lasst sich ein bereits ritualisiertes Vertrautsein mit Jedermann, die Philoxenie, als Konstante nachweisen? Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler verschiedener Disziplinen sind diesen Fragen nachgegangen: der Vor- und Fruhgeschichte (R. Echt), der Keltologie (H. Tristram), der Agyptologie (J. Zeidler), der Archaologie (B. Babler), der Klassischen Philologie (H.-G. Nesselrath, P. Riemer, K. Schopsdau, K. Sier, B. Zimmermann), der Alten Geschichte (M. Dreher, H. Freis), der padagogischen Anthropologie (Chr. Luth), der Theologie (U. Riemer) und der Religionswissenschaft (J. Scheid).

2007Text in italian; Spudasmata Band 115; 280 pages; Dion of Prusa is one of the most important sources for the history of literature and rhetoric in the early Roman empire. He was not only Trajan’s political advisor, but also provided us with an important theoretical study on the political rhetoric of the period: the different forms of government, the dialectic of monarchy and tyranny, social harmony, Greek loyalty to the Romans, and the position of the intellectual in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. This book examines the connections between rhetoric, sophistics, politics and ethics in one of Dion of Prusa’s most famous speeches. The historical background, the literary context and significant aspects of the reception of Dion’s ideas and suggestions are illuminated, and major modern scholarly opinions are discussed and often disproved. The author always keeps the analysis and various interpretations of the text in the central focus of a critical reading. This gives the work its interest for philologists and historians in the field of the history of ancient rhetoric and the second sophistic as well as of Graeco-Roman society in the first two centuries of our era.
