Diplomacy is a performance. The stage is set on the streets and palaces that centre upon the spaces of political power. As this volume explores, diplomacy as spectacle is no mere metaphor for political interaction, but an elevation of how it was practiced as performance. No other activity in the early modern world yielded to such an intensive flow of cultural exchange, artistic endeavour to be patronised, or expense to be lavished on the aggrandisement of events, entertainments, and festivities. Indeed, these efforts were orchestrated: the ambassadors were both impresarii and lead actors. Understanding the ambassador as a cultural mediator is the recognition of the power of diplomatic activity to transform culture through the process of mediation, and more, the appreciation of the sphere of diplomatic mediation as a most fertile ground for cultural invention.

This volume is the first in a four-part series presenting the final results of the Molyvoti, Thrace, Archaeological Project (MTAP), a Greek-American synergasia project in northern Greece. The project is centered on a site often referred to as "Ancient Stryme," which ancient sources identified as an emporion (trading post) and polis settled by Thasians. Focusing on the 2013-2015 field seasons, this volume offers a detailed presentation of the sites stratigraphy, material culture, and historical development. It proposes a revised chronology, including a 4th-century BCE reoccupation after destruction possibly associated with Philip of Macedon, and traces diachronic change through the Early Byzantine period. Among the projects notable discoveries is a complete Classical house--one of the few uncovered in Aegean Thrace--offering valuable insights into domestic architecture and material culture. An intensive urban survey sheds light on the citys 4th-century BCE fortifications and harbors, significantly enhancing our understanding of the scale and function of coastal settlements in the region. In the surrounding chora, the areas first geomorphological study examines landscape use and shifts in the ancient coastline. Contributions from more than 20 scholars present the sites architecture, stratigraphy, ceramics, small finds, and geographical data. Together, these studies illuminate Greek-Thracian interactions, patterns of settlement and trade, and environmental change from prehistory through the Early Byzantine era in this understudied region of the northern Aegean.

In the translators introduction to this volume, James Kellerman relates the following story:As Thomas Aquinas was approaching Paris, a fellow traveler pointed out the lovely buildings gracing that city. Aquinas was impressed, to be sure, but he sighed and stated that he would rather have the complete Incomplete Commentary on Matthew than to be mayor of Paris itself.Thomass affection for the work attests its great popularity during the Middle Ages, despite its significant missing parts--everything beyond the end of Matthew 25, with further gaps of Matthew 8:11--10:15 and 13:14--18:35. Although there are gaps, what remains is quite lengthy, so much so that we offer the work in two volumes, comprising fifty-four homilies.While the early-fifth-century author displays a few Arian propensities in a handful of passages, for the most part the commentary is moral in nature and therefore orthodox and generic. The unknown author, who for several centuries was thought to be John Chrysostom, follows the allegorizing method of the Alexandrians, but not by overlooking the literal meaning. His passion, above all, is to set forth the meaning of Matthews Gospel for his readers.Here, for the first time, this ancient work is made available in English, ably translated by James A. Kellerman and edited by Thomas C. Oden.Ancient Christian Texts are new English translations of full-length commentaries or sermon series from ancient Christian authors that allow you to study key writings of the early church fathers in a fresh way.

With the book How to become a Mistress, Mistress Moriah presents her candid and special view, from her experience as a Mistress and lifestyle Femdom lady. Her views have emerged from walking her own path and from the many conversations she has had with dominants and subs over the years.She hopes this book can be an inspiration and give more insight into the deeper layers of experience. The book forms a practical reference book for certain acts (from Age play to Whips), as a small handhold in the wonderful world of BDSM. Questions such as How safe is sounding?, How does electro work?, Where is the best place to hit with the cane? or What is the deeper experience of Needleplay? are covered in detail. The book informs, in an engaging way that makes the content an enjoyable read. It is an absolute must-have for the novice or discovering Domina, but just as much for social workers who want to understand more about BDSM.

After the launch of "How to Become a Mistress," dozens of topics immediately flew into my head that had not yet been covered in this book. Capturing the versatility of BDSM in one book just proved impossible. And I fear that even two books is going to be too little. "More BDSM" is the logical sequel to "How to Become a Mistress." In this book I go even deeper into the versatility of BDSM. All kinds of game forms and materials are discussed that have not been discussed before.BDSM is difficult to capture in a handful of words. That will always be a challenge, even though it is my passion and lifestyle. There is still so much unnecessary taboo surrounding this subject and so many misunderstandings. I like to introduce the world to the loving intensity of BDSM. A side that - to my mind - gets far too little attention. It is so much more than flapping a whip in a sexy outfit. Its about merging, finding each other in the deeper layers of our being and accepting yourself and each other as a whole.
