Hellenistic Alexandria : Celebrating 24 Centuries : papers presented at the conference held on December 13-15 2017 at Acropolis Museum, Athens /

: Hellenistic Alexandria: Celebrating 24 Centuries' presents the proceedings of a conference held at the Acropolis Museum in Athens, on December 13-15, 2017, and includes high-level dialogues and philosophical discussions between international experts on Hellenistic Alexandria. The goal was to celebrate the 24 centuries which have elapsed since its foundation and the beginning of the Library and the Museum of Alexandria. The conference was divided into two parts, to include in the first part archaeology, history, philosophy, literature, art, culture and legal issues and in the second part science, medicine, technology and environment. A total of 28 original and peer-reviewed articles point to the importance of the brilliantly-original ideas that emerged during the Hellenistic age and the curious modernity of the whole atmosphere of the time. The range of presented topics covers a variety of new data on the foundation of Alexandria to comparison between Ptolemaic Alexandria and Ptolemaic Greece through philosophy, culture and drama to the forgotten revolution of science, medicine and the prevailing climatological and geophysical conditions throughout the Hellenistic Period.

Hellenistic painted goblets in Alexandria /

: Les gobelets peints ont été durant de longues années considérés comme un groupe de céramique égyptienne unique et difficile à définir. Leur riche iconographie restait incomprise et leur datation placée à l'époque romaine ou romaine tardive. L'examen de la collection de tessons réunie par Lukas Benaki dans les années 1930 dans la nécropole de Hadra à Alexandrie et conservée au British Museum, au Musée gréco-romain d'Alexandrie et au Musée Benaki d'Athènes et de quelques vases complets, ainsi que des fragments mis au jour dans des fouilles récentes bien stratifiées à Alexandrie a permis de conforter la datation à l'époque hellénistique (IIe-Ier siècle av.0J. -C.), proposée par D. Bailey et de fixer leur lieu de production en Maréotide. Il a été possible d'identifier des scènes de procréation, d'accouchement et de banquet, associées à des représentations d'une nature prolifique, qui placent ces vases dans un contexte cultuel de célébration de la vie et de la renaissance. Ce volume a recu le prix "A la Mémoire de Jean Leclant" décerné par la Fondation Michela Schiff Giorgini en 2020.

Pottery in hellenistic Alexandria : aux origines d'Alexandrie et de sa production céramique /

: Ce volume réunit deux contributions nées avec des intentions différentes, mais toutes deux consacrées à la céramique hellénistique de la région d?Alexandrie. Le matériel inédit présenté ici provient des fouilles effectuées par le CEAlex au centre-ville, sur les sites de l?ex-Consulat britannique et du Cricket Ground, et hors d?Alexandrie, par la mission italienne sur l?île de Nelson (MAIA), et par la mission française dans la nécropole de Plinthine (MAFTP). Dans la première partie, on s?est attaché à définir la datation et les modalités de la naissance d?un artisanat céramique au sein de la nouvelle capitale et dans sa chôra, entre la fin du IVe et le milieu du IIIe siècle av. J.-C., et la nature des importations. Dans la seconde partie, une sélection d?assemblages dans le matériel céramique du Cricket Ground a permis d?établir une séquence chronologique dont les jalons couvrent, à intervalles d?un quart de siècle, les IIIe et IIe siècles av. J.-C., et illustrent ainsi l?évolution du faciès alexandrin.00.
