Brill's companion to Silius Italicus /

: Only recently have scholars turned their attention to Silius Italicus' Punica , a poem the reputation of which was eclipsed by the emergence of Virgil's Aeneid as the canonical Latin epos of Augustan Rome. This collection of essays aims at examining the importance of Silius' historical epic in Flavian, Domitianic Rome by offering a detailed overview of the poem's context and intertext, its themes and images, and its reception from antiquity through Renaissance and modern philological criticism. This pioneering volume is the first comprehensive, collaborative study on the longest epic poem in Latin literature.

Frontières et marges occidentales de l’Égypte de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge : actes du colloque international, Le Caire, 2-3 décembre 2017 /

: Y eut-il, aux dif̌frenteš poques de l'histoirě gyptienne, une frontïre occidentale clairement ďfinie d'un point de vue culturel et politique ? Comment les limites ouest du territoirě gyptieň taient-elles peṙues et ̌vcues par le pouvoir central comme par les populations locales ? Dans cette optique, les actes du colloque international du Caire des 2-3 ďcembre 2017 explorent les marges occidentales de l'⁹gypte selon quatre axes): 1) ďfinition, conception, repřsentation); 2) occupation, contr̥le, administration); 3)̌ conomie); 4) populations, řseaux, religion. Ils permettent d'esquisser le portrait d'une řgion-cľ de l'⁹gypte de l'Antiquiť au Moyen ℗ge. Une fois pasše la phase de fixation territoriale de l'⁹tať gyptien, la faible densiť de population dans le Delta occidental et l'absence de menace řelle n'ont güre inciť̉ ďfinir et ďfendre une ̌vritable limite occidentale. L'arrǐve de nouveaux groupes de populations libyennes aux portes de l'⁹gyptẻ ľ'poque ramesside repřsente un tournant. Ľ'mergence de la dynastie s̐ate place la řgion dans une dynamique nouvelle, celle d'une frontïre avec le monde grec et d'un front pionnier, qui přfigure la mise en valeur de ces territoires sous les Ptoľ̌mes. ° ľ'poque im̌priale, l'⁹gypte est englǒbe dans un empire qui š'tend largement plus̉ l'ouest et dont le centre de ďcision est exťrieur, ce qui modifie le statut des marges ouest. Les incursions nomades dans la Grande Oasis̉ la fin de la ̌priode montrent cependant que la question de la frontïre demeure un enjeu. Cet enjeu perdure ap̈rs la conqůte arabe alors que l'⁹gypte est de nouveau inťgřẻ un immense empire.
Was there, in different periods of Egyptian history, a clearly defined political and cultural western border? How was the western limit of Egyptian territory perceived and experienced by the central power and local populations? Keeping these questions in mind, the proceedings of the international conference held in Cairo on 2-3 December 2017 explore the western margins of Egypt along four lines: 1) definition, conception, representation; 2) occupation, control, administration; 3) economy; 4) populations, networks, religion. They allow us to sketch a portrait of a key region of Egypt from Antiquity to the Middle Ages. Once the phase of territorial fixation of the Egyptian state was completed, the low population density in the Western Delta and the absence of a real threat did not encourage the definition and defense of an actual western border. However, the arrival of new Libyan groups at the gates of Egypt during the Ramesside period was a turning point. The emergence of the Saite Dynasty placed this region in a new dynamic--that of border with the Greek world and pioneer front--which prefigured the development of this territory under the Ptolemies. During the Roman period, Egypt was part of an empire that extended much further west and whose decision-making center was outside the country, which changed the status of the western limit. Still, the nomadic incursions into the Great Oasis at the end of the period show that the question of the frontier remained an issue. This issue continued after the Arab conquest when Egypt became again part of a vast empire.

Studies on Iran and the Caucasus. In honour of Garnik Asatrian /

: This unique collection of essays by leading international scholars gives a profound introduction into the great diversity and richness of facets forming the study of one of earth's most exciting areas, the Iranian and Caucasian lands. Each of the 37 contributions sheds light on a very special topic, the range of which comprises historical, cultural, ethnographical, religious, political and last but not least literary and linguistic issues, beginning from the late antiquity up to current times. Especially during the last decennia these two regions gained greater interest worldwide due to several developments in politics and culture. This fact grants the book, intended as a festschrift for Prof. Garnik Asatrian, a special relevance. Contributors: Victoria Arakelova; Marco Bais; Uwe Bläsing; Vahe S. Boyajian; Claudia A.

SCRIBE : The Magazine of The American Research Center in Egypt : Fall 2022 | ISSUE 10

: The Celebrations Continue! E veryone interested in ancient Egypt knows of the events being celebrated this year in Egypt and throughout the world of Egyptology. It is of course the centennial of Howard Carter’s amazing discovery of KV62, the tomb of Tutankhamun, and also the bicentennial of Jean-François Champollion’s demonstration that ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs could once again be read and understood. ARCE has thus continued rolling out its suite of events, bringing the celebrations to fruition! Programs In April, ARCE held its 73rd Annual Meeting in Irvine, California where we celebrated these momentous events with our keynote speaker, the current and 8th Earl of Carnarvon, Lord George Herbert. To further mark the centennial, we kicked-off our national chapter lecture tour in June with Dr. Marc Gabolde, who shared the fascinating story of the fate of several missing artifacts ‘diverted’ away from Tutankhamun’s tomb. The Virtual Annual Meeting also connected researchers and members from around the world, to participate and share their own research findings. Both virtual and in-person lectures were recorded and are all now online, helping more members experience the lectures at their own convenience. A sincere thank you to all the ARCE staff and members who helped make both the virtual and in-person Annual Meeting such a well-organized and successful event. We also have a number of exciting events coming up including the continuation of the Tutankhamun Centennial Chapter Lecture Tour with Dr. Betsy Bryan, who will be travelling to Chicago, Kansas City, North Texas, and Atlanta chapters between September 26th and October 3rd. The special event Transcending Eternity: The Centennial Tutankhamun Conference carried out in partnership with the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities will take place in Luxor from November 4th-6th, 2022, and we are honored to continue our partnership with National Geographic through our collaboration with their Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Experience project in providing content and partnership programming. See their advertisement in this issue for a discount code to visit the exhibition and stay tuned to ARCE.org for more information! Fieldwork In Luxor, the renovations of Howard Carter’s house continue thanks to the generous donation by long-time ARCE board member Adina Savin. In this issue of Scribe, ARCE’s Sally El Sabbahy and Nicholas Warner review the fascinating history behind the construction of Carter’s house and its use in the years following the discovery of KV62. In the next issue coming out in early 2023, the team will review the outcome of the conservation efforts and report on the grand re-opening of the house scheduled for November of this year, on the actual centennial of Carter opening the tomb on the 4th of November, 1922. Media Tour In June, ARCE hosted a special media tour to highlight ARCE Antiquities Endowment Fund (AEF) projects, Research Supporting Member projects, and past USAID-funded projects in Cairo. The tour included a visit to the Great Pyramid to see the results of the Ancient Egypt Research Associate’s (AERA) AEF-funded project to record and better-protect Khufu’s Mortuary Temple. The most visible change is the installation of a new access walkway encircling the remains of the temple’s formidable black basalt pavement, which should provide a more secure and less damaging path from which to see the surviving monumental remains. The tour also visited the Fatimid-era Bab Zuwayla gate, one of three surviving entrances that controlled access to the fortified medieval city of Old Cairo, where from 1998-2003, ARCE spearheaded an intense conservation project, with support from USAID and under the supervision of Nairy Hampikian, to remove, restore, and re-install the Bab Zuwayla’s sizable wood and iron doors. The final site visited was the Church of the blessed Virgin Mary, Saint George, and Abu Sefein to see some of the many Coptic icons that that were restored thanks to conservation efforts led by ARCE between 1998-2004. It is so important to revisit these successful projects in conjunction with the media and our colleagues from the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. They show just how great an impact the USAID grants, member donations, and endowments funds have ‘in the field’.
