1969From the historical record and discoveries unearthed in the extensive excavations over a fifteen year period, the author recreates the amazing story of Salamis, on the Levant coast of Cyprus, which served as an important link between the Greek world and the Near East. The manner in which archaeology and history are woven together to make this period live again is shown by one of the later excavations, a 'tomb' which in fact was proved to be only a cenotaph. This is almost certainly a memorial to King Nicocreon, last king of Salamis, who, with his family, committed suicide in 311 B.C. rather than submit to Ptolemy I .Account of the excavations of Necropolis at Salamis in Cyprus. .

2020This Way Back dramatizes a childhood split between Queens, New York, and Cyprus, an island nation with a long colonial history and a culture to which Joanna Eleftheriou could never quite adjust. The book avows a Greek-Cypriot-American lesbian's existence by documenting its scenes: reenacting an 1829 mass suicide by jumping off a school stage onto gym mats at St. Nicholas, harvesting carobs on ancestral land, purchasing UNESCO-protected lace, marching in the island's first gay pride parade, visiting Cyprus's occupied north against a dying father's wish, and pruning geraniums, cypress trees, and jasmine after her father grew too weak to lift the shears. While the author's life binds the essays into what reads like a memoir, the book questions memoir's conventional boundaries between the individual and her community, and between political and personal loss, the human and the environment, and the living and the dead.

20112 corners are bumped. ; Oversized. XLIV-379 p. , 139 ill. , 35 pl. Photo. Dont 8 en couleurs; Meletemata 64; Centre De Recherches De L'Antiquite Grecque Et Romaine. Fondation Nationale De La Recherche Scientifique; 379 pages; Au cours du IVe siècle avant J. -C. , certains royaumes chypriotes frappent des monnaies d'or, phénomène d’autant plus remarquable qu’en dehors des dariques en or du Grand Roi achéménide, la frappe de ce métal est extrêmement rare avant l’émission de statères d’or de Philippe II de Macédoine. Quels sont les rois chypriotes qui ont frappé des monnaies en or ? Dans quels royaumes, quand et pourquoi ? D’où provient l’or ? Les émissions sont-elles régulières ? Quel est le rapport entre ces monnayages et l’histoire politique de Chypre ? Quelle est la place de ces monnaies dans la circulation monétaire de l’époque, quel est l’étalon monétaire utilisé et le taux de change entre le monnayage en or et celui en argent ? La réponse aux questions posées ci-dessous sera donnée à partir du corpus par coin des monnaies en or des rois de Chypre et à partir de leur métrologie et de leur composition métallique. Dans ce livre, où le témoignage des sources littéraires, épigraphiques et archéologiques est associé à celui des monnaies, la politique monétaire des rois chypriotes est analysée afin d'éclairer l’histoire de Chypre jusqu’à la fin des royaumes autonomes.

2003Very faint bump to top of spine else fine. ; Stapled booklet. Metcalf examines how coinage can provide evidence for the study of the changing prosperity of Medieval Cyprus. Following an overview of his subject, the author focuses on two examples: the first concerns the effects on monetary economy caused by the loss of Famagusta to the Genoese in 1371. The second explores the effect of the Arab raids on the coinage of Cyprus during the second half of the seventh century. Both examples shed light on the methods required for establishing the relation between Coinage and History. The first half of the publication makes reference to James R. Stewart and the Stavrokonnos hoard. The presentation is completed by two annexes. ; Lectures on the History of Coinage- 4; 42 pages
