In 1918 the Danube Monarchy ceased to exist and its provinces became parts of the Monarchys successor states, which increasingly assumed the character of nation-states. The regimes of these countries were usually oblivious and/or hostile to remnants of the erstwhile Austrian rule due to ideological reasons: they treated them as traces of a superimposed imperial power and an alien democratic, pluralistic, liberal tradition. Notwithstanding that fact, erasing the Habsburg Empire from maps of Europe did not entail the entire cancelation of its legacy on the former Habsburg territories. Although officially neglected or suppressed, this legacy made itself felt, overtly or tacitly, in discourses present in the public sphere of the countries that superseded the Monarchy.

This study presents the Early Helladic II ceramic roofing tile fragments from Zygouries, a site excavated by Carl Blegen more than a century ago. It is the first publication of an entire assemblage of Early Helladic roofing tiles, an oft-neglected find on archaeological sites. Details about the tiles forms, features, and variability are presented first, followed by a production-oriented analysis reconstructing much of the chaIne operatoire and complementary volumetric and energetic analyses. The results of these studies allow for the local reception and sociopolitical implications of Zygouriess ceramic-tiled roof to be explored. The assemblage is then contextualized alongside other Early Helladic roofing tile assemblages and the material culture of the period to gain a clearer understanding of the broader cultural significance of such tiled roofs.

An unparalleled assemblage of Archaic black-figure painted pinakes (plaques) was uncovered near Penteskouphia, a village west of ancient Corinth, over a century ago. The pinakes-represented by over 1,200 fragments-and their depictions of gods, warriors, animals, and the potters themselves, provide a uniquely rich source of information about Greek art, technology, and society. In this volume, the findspot of the pinakes is identified in a contribution by Ioulia Tzonou and James Herbst, and the assemblage as a whole is fully contextualized within the Archaic world. Then, by focusing specifically on the images of potters at work, the author illuminates the relationship between Corinthian and Athenian art, the technology used in ancient pottery production, and religious anxiety in the 6th century B.C. The first comprehensive register of all known Penteskouphia pinakes complements the well-illustrated discussion.

Even though Dorothy Thompson excavated the Agora Bone Well in 1938, the well and its remarkable finds have never been fully studied until now. Located outside the northwest corner of the Athenian Agora and dating to the second quarter of the 2nd century B.C., the well contained the remains of roughly 460 newborn infants, as well as a few older individuals. Also found in the well were the bones of over 150 dogs and an assortment of other animals, plus various artifacts, including an intriguing herm (treated here by Andrew Stewart) and an ivory chape. In addition to a thorough examination of the contents of the well, the authors provide a thoughtful analysis of the neighborhood in which the well was located and carefully compare the deposit with similar accumulations found elsewhere in the Mediterranean. The product of close cooperation between archaeological, palaeoanthropological, and faunal scholars, this interdisciplinary work will be of interest to a large audience across a variety of fields.

The analysis of stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in bone collagen provides a powerful tool for reconstructing past diets, since it provides the only direct evidence of the foods that were actually consumed. The chapters that comprise this volume describe the application of this methodology to the archaeology of Greece, a country whose archaeobotanical remains have been isotopically studied more extensively than any other place in the world. The archaeological issues that can be addressed using stable isotope methods include the importance of fishing; the possible early introduction of millet; the nature of childrearing including weaning age and weaning foods; temporal shifts in protein consumption; differential access to certain foods associated with social status as well as gender and age; and cultural differences in dietary patterns. Additionally, diet is strongly correlated with health or stress markers in the teeth and bones. Knowing what people ate has vital implications for our understanding of past environments and economies, subsistence strategies, and nutrition.

Pindars metaphor of the Isthmus as a bridge spanning two seas encapsulates the essence of the place and gives a fitting title for this volume of 17 essays on the history and archaeology of the area. The Isthmus, best known for the panhellenic Sanctuary of Poseidon, attracted travelers both before and after Pausaniass visit in the 2nd century A.D., but only toward the end of the 19th century were the ruins investigated and, a half century later, finally systematically excavated. More recently, archaeologists have surveyed the territory beyond the sanctuary, compiling evidence for a varied picture of activity on the wider Isthmus and the eastern Corinthia. The essays in this book celebrate 55 years of research on the Isthmus and provide a comprehensive overview of the state of our knowledge. Topics include an Early Mycenaean habitation site at Kyras Vrysi; the settlement at Kalamianos; the Archaic Temple of Poseidon; domestic architecture of the Rachi settlement; dining vessels from the Sanctuary of Poseidon; the Temple Deposit at Isthmia and the dating of Archaic and Early Classical Greek coins; terracotta figurines from the Sanctuary of Poseidon; the Chigi Painter; arms from the age of Philip and Alexander at Broneers West Foundation on the road to Corinth; new sculptures from the Isthmian Palaimonion; an inscribed herm from the Gymnasium Area of Corinth; Roman baths at Isthmia and sanctuary baths in Greece; Roman buildings east of the Temple of Poseidon; patterns of settlement and land use on the Roman Isthmus; epigraphy, liturgy, and Imperial policy on the Justinianic Isthmus; and circular lamps in the Late Antique Peloponnese.

Ancient Sikyon, in the northeastern Peloponnese, was a major player on the Mediterranean stage, especially in the Archaic and Hellenistic periods. This comprehensive study combines a discussion of the geological and historical background with the results of original research based on many years of archaeological fieldwork. Author Yannis Lolos, drawing upon the limited excavations in Sikyonia, literary sources, and mostly his own extensive survey data, traces the history of the human presence in the territory of Sikyon from prehistory to the early modern period. A series of detailed maps plots the position of many previously unknown roads, fortifications, and settlement sites.

This volume presents the papers of an international colloquium on the archaeology of houses and households in ancient Crete held in Ierapetra in May 2005. The 38 papers presented here range from a discussion of household activities at Final Neolithic Phaistos to the domestic correlates of "globalization" during the early Roman Empire. These studies demonstrate a variety of methodological approaches currently employed for understanding houses and household activities. Key themes include understanding the built environment in all of its manifestations, the variability of domestic organization, the role of houses and households in mediating social (and perhaps even ethnic) identity within a community or region, household composition, and of course, household activities of all types, ranging from basic subsistence needs to production and consumption at a suprahousehold level.

This book presents the first well-preserved set of sympotic pottery which served a Late Archaic house in the Athenian Agora. The deposit contains household and fine-ware pottery, nearly all the figured pieces of which are forms associated with communal drinking. Since it comes from a single house, the pottery also reflects purchasing patterns and thematic preferences of the homeowner. The multifaceted approach adopted in this book shows that meaning and use are inherently related, and that through archaeology one can restore a context of use for a class of objects frequently studied in isolation. Winner of the 2013 James R. Wiseman Book Award given by the Archaeological Institute of America.

This work presents a classification system and absolute chronology for black-gloss wares from Crete, establishing the first local and regional ceramic sequences during the period from 600 to 400 B.C. This new chronological foundation of datable pottery from excavated sites fills in the so-called 6th-/5th-century gap and dispels the prevailing view that this was a period of decline in population and one of artistic and cultural impoverishment. The 6th century heralded important changes in Cretan society, reflected in the reorganization of burial grounds, new patterns of sanctuary dedication, and the circulation of exotica among the elite. The study reveals unsuspected connections with mainland Greece, especially Sparta and Athens. Historians and archaeologists will find the authors conclusions, and their implications, to be of considerable interest.

La ciudad, especialmente en la Baja Edad Media, constituye un espacio de atracción para la nobleza. Un espacio donde instala sus casas-palacio e incorpora sus prácticas clientelares, y en cuyo aparato de toma de decisiones procura hacerse presente. Pero, sobre todo, un espacio urbano que ambiciona, que procura ocupar alli y donde puede, y cuyo alfoz, en todo caso, somete a practicas de usurpacion, de violencia y tension por momentos permanentes en ciertas areas de la geografia castellana. Aunque esta violencia esta ampliamente documentada, las relaciones de la nobleza y el mundo urbano no transitaron solo caminos de conflicto. En paralelo a los alineamientos politicos a los que en cada momento se incorporan los linajes nobles en el marco de la alta politica del reino, surgio tambien una cierta capacidad para la cooperacion, la ayuda mutua y la solidaridad (relativamente desinteresadas) entre nobles y ciudades. Esta obra se ocupa de algunos de los elementos teoricos que un analisis de este tipo de relaciones (conflictivas, cooperativas, neutras) ha de alcanzar: los aspectos mas politicos del marco de relaciones que se construye alrededor de las conexiones entre ciudad y nobleza, y monarquia; las implicaciones de contenido economico que aquellas conllevaron; y la formulacion de algunos modelos discursivos en los que se sustentaron dichas relaciones.

With eleven new contributions, this second edition of essays on the sources and principles of Dominican values in education offers an extended sample of the many settings in which Dominican education, broadly understood, finds expression. Cherished by all Dominicans, these values are exemplified not only in the lives of well-known foundational Dominicans, but also in some of those many others who, on every continent and across time, have responded in typically Dominican ways at key moments in history. Educators, activists, philosophers, teachers, preachers, artists, healers and theologians at many levels share their analyses and reflections on educating in many different contexts, explicitly and implicitly demonstrating ideals and values common to the goals of Dominican education everywhere. It is hoped that this collection, offered again in this decade of Dominican Jubilee--1206-1216 to 2006- 2016--will inform, inspire and encourage all those engaged in the great work of educating not only youth but people of all ages towards greater life and liberty.

Tloha es una palabra del idioma Sesoto, que se habla en un pequeño país africano, y que significa El Olvido."Desde el reino de Tloha" es eso, el intento de encerrar en la palabra la vida de un escritor y preservarla asi de la aniquilacion total que supone el olvido, un intento vano de tocar la trascendencia.Mediante un diario, ora en El Otero, Toledo, ora en Monteprincipe, Madrid, ora en El valle del Marinero, Marte, el escritor va describiendo los cambios que su vida va tomando al acercarse a su fin: por un lado con los achaques propios de la ancianidad - incontinencia, impotencia, etc. -, por otro con la perdida cognitiva de su esposa, que le lleva directamente y angustiosamente a releer todo lo escrito desde los tiempos de la transicion hasta finales de 2017, que es el momento historico en el que se situa la linea temporal principal de la novela."Desde el reino de Tloha" es la obra completa que Santiago Solano Grande ha ido urdiendo durante mas de cuarenta y cinco años, una novela de libros, una biografia de lo escrito, un repaso a la historia de España. Es tambien poesia, con anotaciones criticas de grandes personajes reales de la vida literaria de finales del XX y principios del XXI, relatos, cuentos breves, muy breves, micro relatos, novelas de ciencia ficcion: una Inteligencia Artificial en forma de bicicleta que toma conciencia ante las murallas de Toledo, un superviviente de la Humanidad, Elias Quimey, medio hombre, medio maquina, que busca en el oceano de datos post humanos la esencia de la Humanidad, y que termina descubriendo que la muerte tambien existe para el.En definitiva, "Desde el reino de Tloha" es una tetralogia que se va mas alla de las 1500 paginas, un lugar magico en el que lo real se viste con el manto de lo imaginado y no parece tal. O si prefieres un mundo imaginario que parece la intrahistoria de una realidad que se ha ido para siempre.

Argentina y conquista del Río de la Plata (Lisboa, 1602) de Martín del Barco Centenera es uno de los pocos testimonios de las acciones imperiales en el Río de la Plata y el único cantado en octavas reales. El autor, que vivio un cuarto de siglo en la region, no critica la fundacion del imperio en si mismo, pero ni tiene una vision complaciente de los conquistadores ni los reivindica.A lo largo de sus paginas se cuentan intrigas de las autoridades, levantamientos indigenas, rebeliones mestizas, ataques piratas... desde una mirada sarcastica muy personal. Experiencia propia y leyendas, pasado inmediato que busca mitificarse y universo contemporaneo, son los elementos propios de este poema transgresor que ha aportado numerosisimas referencias al imaginario colonial rioplatense, incluso desde el siglo XIX en adelante.La Argentina hasta ahora ha conocido distintas versiones, algunas muy manipuladas, a lo largo de los siglos. Esta edicion critica fija el texto a partir de la princeps de 1602 y por primera vez aclara en su anotacion una indispensable cantidad de datos historicos, linguisticos, geograficos, etnograficos, zoologicos, literarios, etc.

Previous research on ancient state or city religion has suggested that the growth and multiplication of priesthoods in Rome was a means of dispersing religious authority within a growing aristocratic class. Tendencies towards recentralisation can also be observed in the course of the imperial period.This volume draws a picture of the processes of religious specialisation as they are discussed today under the term urban religion for ancient cities and metropolises. The prosopographical data of the Fasti sacerdotum are used to examine how religious actors in Rome dealt with the challenges and opportunities of urbanisation and reshaped religious practices according to their experiences and their vision of the urban. The focus is on the historicisation of these processes in a city that became the capital of an empire. However, the focus is not on an imperial, but on a local and glocalised religion. Religious roles and their interactions reacted to political institutions and social values and shaped them at the same time.

Autocannon is a comprehensive history of the development of automatic cannon and their ammunition from the end of the nineteenth century up to the present day. A brief history of their development is followed by sections examining the basic principles of gun and ammunition design, including various unconventional systems. Next comes a survey of cartridges in calibre order, from 20mm to 57mm, including not only ammunition that has seen service, but also a wide range of experimental types. Finally there is a survey of the cannon, grouped by nationality, which again includes many experimental models. The book includes data on about 200 different cartridges and 400 cannon, and has nearly 500 illustrations. It is the culmination of decades of research, and is unmatched in its coverage of this subject.

From Guilt to Responsibility and Beyond tackles the ever-controversial topic of German security and defence policy from the perspective of strategic culture. In particular, it describes the way in which German strategic culture the ways of thinking and acting in terms of peace and war has gradually changed after the end of the Cold War. The book delivers a comprehensive picture of the evolution of German strategic culture from the end of the Second World War to present times with a focus on Post-Cold War events. It also discusses hitherto unexplored ways and methods of how to study continuity and change in strategic culture e.g. through counterfactual thought experiments. The book offers a novel scientific-philosophical take on strategic culture based on Critical Realism and concludes that a combination of present and past experiences of warfare is one of the key generative mechanisms in facilitating strategic cultural change.

This e-book gathers eight papers devoted to specific aspects of Ciceros engagement with Roman religion, and seeks to make a wider contribution to the understanding of Ciceros work as historical evidence. By engaging with religion as a fundamental factor of social cohesion and political stability, both in his theoretical works and his speeches, Cicero shaped a wide-ranging and ambitious discourse around themes and images that were firmly located in first-century BCE Rome. His contribution also proved very influential in the centuries to come.The volume focuses on the relationship between law, religion, and religious authority in Cicero; the interplay between divine images, ritual contexts, and the conceptualization of the divine; Ciceros construction of a Greek deity for a Roman audience; the role of religious elements in the shaping of a Roman political identity; the tension between natural law and Roman pietas; the problem of divine and human foresight; the relationship between theoretical views of the gods and late Republican public cult; and the reception, use, and readaptation of Ciceronian theology in the English Enlightenment.
