:
Von Magna Graecia nach Asia Minor' ? der Titel ist Programm: 23 Beiträge von renommierten Althistorikern und Archäologen spiegeln anlässlich des 65. Geburtstages der Althistorikerin Linda-Marie Günther die vielfältigen Interessen der Jubilarin wider. Mit besonderem Fokus auf der griechischen Geschichte, von der Archaik bis in die Kaiserzeit, greift die Festschrift zentrale Themen von Günthers Forschung und Lehre auf. 0Aspekte der Ikonographie antiker Münzen, die Günther besonders am Herzen liegt, werden ebenso bearbeitet wie epigraphische Quellen und Probleme. Die antike Historiographie, auch dies ein Steckenpferd der Jubilarin, ist Gegenstand mehrerer Beiträge. Untersuchungen zu genuin archäologischen Fragen und zur antiken Lebenswelt reflektieren ihre fächerübergreifenden Interessen.

Brill's companion to the reception of classics in international modernism and the avant-garde /
:
Brill's Companion to the Reception of Classics in International Modernism and the Avant-Garde examines how the writers and artists who lived from roughly the last quarter of the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth sought to build a new world from the ashes of one marked by two world wars, global economic depression, the rise of nationalism, and the collapse of empires. By surveying the modernist appropriation of Ancient Greece and Rome, the fourteen chapters in this volume demonstrate how the Classics, as foundational texts of the old order, were nevertheless adapted to suit the stylistic innovation and formal experimentation that characterized modernist and avant-garde literature and art.

Brill's companion to classics and early anthropology /
:
The chapters in Brill's Companion to Classics and Early Anthropology explore key points of interaction between classics and anthropology from the eighteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Ancient Greece and Rome played varying roles in early anthropological thinking, from the observations of colonial officials and missionaries, through the ethnography and evolutionary ethnology of the late nineteenth century, and into the professionalized social sciences of the twentieth century. The chapters illuminate these roles and uncover an intellectual history of fission and fusion, exposing common interests and opposing methodologies, shared theories and conflicting datasets, close collaborations and adversarial estrangements. In augmenting and reevaluating this history, the volume offers a new and nuanced picture of the early formative relationship between the two disciplines.

Brill's Companion to Ancient Geography /
:
Brill's Companion to Ancient Geography edited by S. Bianchetti, M. R. Cataudella, H. J. Gehrke is the first collection of studies on historical geography of the ancient world that focuses on a selection of topics considered crucial for understanding the development of geographical thought. In this work, scholars, all of whom are specialists in a variety of fields, examine the interaction of humans with their environment and try to reconstruct the representations of the inhabited world in the works of ancient historians, scientists, and cartographers. Topics include: Eudoxus, Dicaearchus, Eratosthenes, Hipparchus, Agatharchides, Agrippa, Strabo, Pliny and Solinus, Ptolemy, and the Peutinger Map. Other issues are also discussed such as onomastics, the boundaries of states, Pythagorism, sacred itineraries, measurement systems, and the Holy Land.
