A Companion to the Achaemenid Persian Empire
A Companion to the Achaemenid Persian Empire
A COMPANION TO THE ACHAEMENID PERSIAN EMPIRE

A comprehensive review of the political, cultural, social, economic and religious history of the Achaemenid Empirem

Often called the first world empire, the Achaemenid Empire is rooted in older Near Eastern traditions. A Companion to the Achaemenid Persian Empire offers a perspective in which the history of the empire is embedded in the preceding and subsequent epochs. In this way, the traditions that shaped the Achaemenid Empire become as visible as the powerful impact it had on further historical development. But the work does not only break new ground in this respect, but also in the fact that, in addition to written testimonies of all kinds, it also considers material tradition as an equal factor in historical reconstruction. This comprehensive two-volume set features contributions by internationally-recognized experts that offer balanced coverage of the whole of the empire from Anatolia and Egypt across western Asia to northern India and Central Asia.

Comprehensive in scope, the Companion provides readers with a panoramic view of the diversity, richness, and complexity of the Achaemenid Empire, dealing with all the many aspects of history, event history, administration, economy, society, communication, art, science and religion, illustrating the multifaceted nature of the first true empire.

A unique historical account presented in its multiregional dimensions, this important resource

  • deals with many aspects of history, administration, economy, society, communication, art, science and religion
  • it deals with topics that have only recently attracted interest such as court life, leisure activities, gender roles, and more
  • examines a variety of available sources to consider those predecessors who influenced Achaemenid structure, ideology, and self-expression
  • contains the study of Nachleben and the history of perception up to the present day
  • offers a spectrum of opinions in disputed fields of research, such as the interpretation of the imagery of Achaemenid art, or questions of religion
  • includes extensive bibliographies in each chapter for use as starting points for further research
  • devotes special interest to the east of the empire, which is often neglected in comparison to the western territories

Part of the acclaimed Blackwell Companions to the Ancient World series, A Companion to the Achaemenid Persian Empire is an indispensable work for students, instructors, and scholars of Persian and ancient world history, particularly the First Persian Empire.

Explore an insightful account of the reception of Mesopotamia in modern cinema    In  Reception of Mesopotamia on Film , Dr. Maria de F?tima Rosa explores how the Ancient Mesopotamian civilization was portrayed by the movie industry, especially in America and Italy, and how it was used to convey analogies between ancient and contemporary cultural and moral contexts.

After the Past
After the Past
Provides a unique and accessible understanding of Sallust and his influence on writing the history of Rome Gaius Sallustius Crispus (‘Sallust’, 86-35 BCE) is the earliest Roman historian from whom any works survive. His two extant writings chronicle crucial moments of a political, social, and ethical revolution with profound consequences for his own life and those of his audience. After the Past: Sallust on History and Writing History examines what it meant to write the history of contentious events—Catiline’s famous rebellion in 63 BCE and the war waged against the North African king Jugurtha fifty years earlier—while their effects were still so vividly felt. One of the first book-length treatments of Sallust in over fifty years, the text offers a comprehensive reading of Sallust’s works using the tools of narratology and intertextual analysis to reveal the changing functions of historiography at the end of the Roman Republic. Author Andrew Feldherr’s comprehensive approach examines the literary strategies used by Sallust and many of the most interesting and significant aspects of the historian’s accomplishment while advancing the study of historiography as a literary form, reconsidering its relationship to rival genres such as rhetoric and tragedy. Pursuing a focused and distinctive scholarly argument, this book: Provides a comprehensive approach to Sallust’s extant works Explores how Sallust helped his readers to reflect on their own relationship with their tumultuous past Contributes to understanding Roman conceptualizations of space and of writing Challenges the core assumption that literary historiography of the time period is essentially rhetorical nature After the Past: Sallust on History and Writing History is an accessible and useful resource for students of Latin literature and Roman history from the advanced undergraduate through professional levels, and for all those with an interest in historiography as a literary genre in Greco-Roman antiquity and in the literary history of the late Republic and triumviral period.

Archaic Greece
Archaic Greece
An introductory guide to the Archaic period in ancient Greece—the people, their society, and their culture. Excerpts from literary and other texts give voice to the interests, concerns, and emotions of the Archaic Greeks themselves. This book provides a brief but comprehensive introduction to the society and culture of the Archaic period in the Greek world from c. 750 to c. 480 BCE. It focuses on the persistent and often-conflicting themes, topics, and controversies of the Archaic Age (e. g. , elite and non-elite, religion and science, tradition and humanism). It seeks to lead the reader to a broader and deeper understanding of the period by placing themes and topics in a mutually supportive contextual network that will underscore their significance. Archaic Greece: The Age of New Reckonings begins with a chapter on how sources for the period are evaluated and deployed, and goes on to offer a concise yet thorough historical overview of the Archaic period.

A Social and Cultural History of Republican Rome
Provides students with a balanced understanding of the key aspects of the culture and society of the Roman Republic  A Social and Cultural History of Republican Rome  is the first undergraduate textbook of its kind to concentrate on the ways Roman societal structures, family dynamics, visual arts, law, religion, and other cultural and intellectual developments contributed to Roman identity between 509 BCE and 14 CE.

Why Rome Fell
Why Rome Fell
Explore an insightful and original discussion of the causes of the fall of the Roman Empire In Why Rome Fell: Decline and Fall, or Drift and Change? , celebrated scholar of Roman history Dr. Michael Arnheim delivers a fascinating and robust exploration of the causes of and reasons for Rome’s fall in the West. Steeped in applications of elite theory to the later Roman Empire, the author discusses several interconnected issues that influenced the decline of Rome, including monarchy, power structure, social mobility, religion, and the aristocratic ethos. Incisive comparisons of the situation in Rome to those in the Principate and the Byzantine Empire shed light on the relative lack of “indissoluble union and easy obedience” (in Gibbon’s phrase) in the later Roman Empire. Instead, the book reveals the divided loyalties of a fractured society that characterized Rome in its later years. Why Rome Fell also includes: A thorough introduction to the transition from the ancient to the medieval world, including discussions of monarchy, Diocletian and his relationship to the aristocracy, and Constantine’s reforms Comprehensive explorations of the rise of the Roman Christian empire and Constantine’s role Practical discussions of conflicting theories of what caused the fall of the Roman empire, including the Pirenne thesis, the malaria hypothesis, Gibbon’s ‘decline and fall’ theory, and the role played by religion An indispensable resource for students, scholars and the general reader with an inquiring mind about history, Why Rome Fell deserves a place on the bookshelves of anyone with an interest in a sophisticated and original take on historical continuity and change.

Steinzeit-Astronauten
Val Camonica in Oberitalien ist ein magischer Ort. Hier liegt das gr??te Geschichtsarchiv Alteuropas: Bislang wurden ?ber 350.000 pr?historische Felszeichnungen freigelegt. Die merkw?rdigsten Motive zeigen Gesch?pfe, die frappant an Astronauten unserer Tage erinnern. Nicht weniger verbl?ffend: Steinplatten mit fixierten Gel?ndemarkierungen, die ein erstaunliches Wissen ?ber Topografie und Vermessungstechnik belegen. Ausgehend vom Val Camonica geht Reinhard Habeck diesen und anderen Fragezeichen der alpinen Vorgeschichte auf den Grund. Er hat verborgene und neu entdeckte Fundstellen pr?historischer Felskunst besucht, bedeutende Forscher zu den alpinen Steinwundern befragt und stellt provokante und ?berraschende Thesen zur Diskussion. Wer die pr?historischen R?tsel wie der Autor in der paradiesischen Landschaft vor die Kameralinse bekommen will, muss sich auf manche Strapazen gefasst machen – aber auch auf handfeste ?berraschungen… Aus dem Inhalt: Die „Steinzeit-Astronauten“ im Val Camonica (Lombardei) Die r?tselhaften Kreise von Carschenna (Schweiz) Die seltsamen Felsritzungen der Kienbachklamm (Salzkammergut) Das etruskische Schriftr?tsel am Schneidjoch (Nordtirol) Das Reich der F?nes in den Dolomiten (S?dtirol) Das „Tal der Wunder“ beim Monte B?go (Frankreich) u.v.a.m.

Die letzte Bl?te Roms
Die letzte Bl?te Roms
Das Westr?mische Reich ist untergegangen. Das Ostr?mische Reich unterliegt im Krieg gegen die Perser, der Nika-Aufstand 532 n. Chr. st?rzt das Reich innenpolitisch in die Krise, Konstantinopel, die kaiserliche Hauptstadt, liegt in Schutt und Asche. Wie kommt es aus dieser verfahrenen Situation heraus zur letzten Bl?te Roms, zur gr??ten Ausdehnung des Reichs im 6. Jahrhundert? Peter Heather erz?hlt meisterhaft die Geschichte einer Umbruchzeit. Zwischen Antike und Mittelalter, zwischen Rom und Byzanz manifestiert sie sich vor allem in der Herrschaft eines Kaisers, der als Bauernsohn ein sozialer Aufsteiger war und sich selbst als „Herrscher von Gottes Gnaden“ verstand. Justinian (reg. 527-568) eroberte Nordafrika und Italien, Bauwerke wie die Hagia Sophia in Istanbul oder San Vitale in Ravenna gehen ebenso auf ihn zur?ck wie der Codex Iustinianus. Am Ende aber bleibt die Frage, wie hoch der Preis f?r Roms letzte Bl?te war.

Utopia
Utopia
What we can learn from a Renaissance nowhere  In 1516, a book was published in Latin with the enigmatic Greek-derived word as its title. Utopia—which could mean either “good-place” or “no-place”—gives a traveler’s account of a newly discovered island somewhere in the New World where the inhabitants enjoy a social order based purely on natural reason and justice. As the traveler describes the harmony, prosperity, and equality found there, a dramatic contrast is drawn between the ideal community he portrays and the poverty, crime, and often frightening political conditions of 16th century Europe. Written by Sir Thomas More (1477–1535)—then a rising intellectual star of the Renaissance and ultimately the advisor and friend of Henry VIII who was executed for his devoutly Catholic opposition to the king—Utopia is as complex as its author.  In the form of a Platonic dialogue,  Utopia  explores topics such as money, property, crime, education, religious tolerance, euthanasia, and feminism. Claimed as a paean to communism (Lenin had More’s name inscribed on a statue in Moscow) as often as it has been seen as a defense of traditional medieval values,  Utopia  began the lineage of utopian thinkers who use storytelling to explore new possibilities for human society—and remains as relevant today as when it was written in Antwerp 500 years ago. Explore the issues like feminism, euthanasia, and equality through Renaissance eyes Early communist tract or a defense of medieval values? You decide. Peer inside the enigmatic mind of the man who dared stand up to Henry VIII Appreciate the postmodern possibilities of Platonic dialogue Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon, this edition features an introduction from writer, economist, and historian Niall Kishtainy.

DISCOVER THE ENDURING LEGACY OF ANCIENT STOICISM Since Roman antiquity, Lucius Annaeus Seneca’s Letters have been one of the greatest expressions of Stoic philosophy.

This deluxe hardback selected edition includes Seneca’s first 65 letters from the Richard M. Gummere translation.

Wie alles begann Erst seit etwas mehr als hundert Jahren d?rfen in Deutschland Frauen das Fach Medizin studieren. Sie sind inzwischen dabei, die M?nner in den Medizinberufen an Zahl zu ?berfl?geln. Doch bereits in der Antike waren Frauen als ?rztinnen t?tig. Sie arbeiteten nicht nur als Chirurginnen, Zahn?rztinnen, Allgemeinmedizinerinnen, Gyn?kologinnen, sondern auch als Hebammen, Pharmazeutinnen und Medizinschriftstellerinnen. Die erste ?rztin der Geschichte praktizierte um 300 v. Chr. in Athen, die erste Gemeinschaftspraxis gab es bereits um 50 v. Chr. in Rom und die erste Chirurgin operierte in Spanien um die Zeitenwende. Im R?mischen Reich waren ?rztinnen eine durchaus vertraute Erscheinung. Davon legen Aufzeichnungen antiker Autoren, arch?ologische Bodenfunde und Inschriftendenkm?ler ein beredtes Zeugnis ab. Der Autor zeichnet den ebenso schweren wie selbstverst?ndlichen Weg in einem Berufsfeld, das lange Zeit als reine M?nnerdom?ne galt. Der handliche Band ist durch vielf?ltige Illustrationen eine anschauliche Gesamtdarstellung der Rolle der Frau in einem der – wissenschaftlich und sozial durch alle Zeiten betrachtet – wichtigsten Berufe f?r die Menschheit.

Kykladen
Kykladen
„Bin ihnen begegnet, den G?ttern und Halbg?ttern“ … unter strahlend blauem Himmel, in zerkl?fteter, unber?hrter Landschaft und mit atemberaubendem Blick auf das ?g?ische Meer. Dieses Bild senkt sich im Kopf, denkt man an die Inselgruppe der Kykladen vor der griechischen K?ste. Hier spielten sie eine tragende Rolle. Denn die Kykladen, mit ihren Mythen, sind die heiligen Inseln der olympischen G?tter. Sie finden ihren Niederschlag in der Dichtung und Literatur eines Archilochos, Thukydides, Herodot und Ovid. Delos lud als Geburtsinsel des Gottes Apollon mit ausgefeilter Wohnkultur zu n?chtlichem Gelage; einem Luxus der auf den Ertr?gen aus grausamem Sklavenhandel auf den M?rkten der Insel gr?ndete. Naxos erz?hlt die Geschichte einer verratenen Liebe; Ariadne, verlassen vom treuelosen Theseus, gerettet von Dionysos, der auf Naxos in Yria ein bedeutendes Heiligtum besa?. Sein g?ttlicher Halbbruder Apollon sollte gar einen kolossalen Tempel erhalten, den man zwar nie fertigstellte, dessen Tor aber zum Wahrzeichen der Insel wurde. Melos durch Obsidian-Vorkommen seit Urzeiten reich, ist Schauplatz eines vom Historiker Thukydides im 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. in Szene gesetzten Dialogs, in dem es um Macht und Recht geht. Wunder gibt es immer wieder! Das zeigt die Gottesverehrung auf Tenos. Einst war es Poseidon, auf den Verzweifelte und Kranke alle Hoffnung setzten und dabei nicht selten durch wundersame Heilungen belohnt wurden. Heute ist es die Gottesmutter Maria, deren wundert?tiges Bildnis in einer Wallfahrtskirche verehrt wird. Und dann ist da noch Thera / Santorin, deren unbeschreibliche Sch?nheit das Ergebnis einer der gr??ten Naturkatastrophen aller Zeiten war – die uns aber gleichzeitig Momentaufnahmen des Lebens vor ?ber 3.000 Jahren geschenkt hat.

Das Hatschepsut-Puzzle
Das Hatschepsut-Puzzle
St?ck f?r St?ck – dem Menschen Hatschepsut gen?hert Sie war eine der wichtigsten Herrschergestalten des Neuen Reichs und ihre Regierungsjahre galten als eine der Glanzzeiten der ?gyptischen Geschichte – Hatschepsut der weibliche K?nig von ?gypten (ca. 1489–1467 v. Chr.). Ein Flakon und sein Inhalt – eine ca. 3500 Jahre alte Substanz – gew?hren ?berraschend tiefe und pers?nliche Einblicke in das Leben dieser legend?ren Pharaonin. Der Tod der Hatschepsut blieb ?ber 3500 Jahre r?tselhaft. War eine der ber?hmtesten ?gyptischen K?niginnen zum Opfer eines Mordkomplotts geworden? Ein handtellergro?er Flakon mit dem Namen der Hatschepsut wurde in dieser Frage zum entscheidenden Puzzleteil f?r die Forschung und lieferte entscheidende Indizien zur L?sung dieses Falls. Der vorliegende Band „Das Puzzle der Hatschepsut“ bietet erstmals einen fundierten ?berblick der Forschungsarbeiten an dem Gef?? der K?nigin, das 2009 originalversiegelt ger?ntgt wurde. Naturwissenschaftliche Analysen entlarven die anf?nglich f?r ein Parfum gehaltene Originalsubstanz als ein Heilmittel f?r Hautkrankheiten. Diese Erkenntnisse liefern tiefe und pers?nliche Einblicke in das Leben und den Tod der au?ergew?hnlichen Herrscherin und f?gen ihrer Geschichte ein entscheidendes Kapitel hinzu. Ein spannender Wissenschaftskrimi, der dem Leser die weibliche Pharaonin n?herbringt, die zu Lebzeiten geliebt, gehasst und gef?rchtet wurde.

Gebrannte Erde
Was vor den Scherben war Antike Keramik – nur bemalte Vasen oder ein Haufen Scherben hinter gl?sernen Museumsvitrinen? Weit gefehlt. Die durch Formenvielfalt und Dekor bestechenden Gef??e waren keine blo?en Anschauungsobjekte, sondern erf?llten wichtige Funktionen. Nicht zuletzt als Leitfossil f?r die Datierung antiker Fundst?tten. Vordergr?ndig nur eine gigantische antike M?llhalde, in seinem Inneren ein Paradies f?r die Arch?ologie – der Monte Testaccio in Rom. Dort stapeln sich Meter hoch Scherben antiker Keramik, das Pendant zur Plastik unserer Zeit. Doch bevor die Zeugnisse antiker Lebensweise auf der Scherbenm?lldeponie landeten, hatten sie bereits einen langen Weg von der Tongrube, ?ber den Brennofen, bis zu ihren Besitzern hinter sich gebracht und die Haushalte der R?mer mit Leben gef?llt. Aber wie genau sahen Herstellung und Handel der Waren aus, was wurde in ihnen transportiert oder von Tontellern verzehrt und welchen materiellen Wert hatten die Gef??e f?r die Menschen in der Antike? Exkurse zeigen, dass Keramik in Form von Ziegeln, Tonrohren und Baudekor auch Ihre Funktion im Bereich der Architektur hatte. Wolfram Letzners neues Buch beantwortet viele Fragen und behandelt sowohl r?mische als auch griechische Keramik. Neben einem fundierten Textteil ?berzeugt das Buch vor allem mit seinen zahlreichen Abbildungen und Karten, die den Titel zu einem gelungenen Nachschlagewerk f?r jeden Museumsbesucher und Studenten machen. Fragen, wie man eigentlich r?mische von griechischer Schwerkeramik unterscheidet und was genau nochmal Terra Sigillata ist, d?rften mit dem vorliegenden Band also kein Problem mehr darstellen.

Die Inschrift gilt seitdem als verschollen, doch die Vorstellung eines uralten, t?dlichen Fluchs h?lt die Menschheit nach wie vor in Atem.

Der gr??te Irrtum der Weltgeschichte
Der gr??te Irrtum der Weltgeschichte
Naturwissenschaftliche Daten widerlegen die antike Jahresz?hlung! ?berzeugen Sie sich selbst: Es gibt nicht ein Ereignis in der griechisch-r?mischen Antike, dessen traditionelles Datum sich unabh?ngig verifizieren lie?e. Seit L?ngerem werden immer neue Hinweise entdeckt, wonach die gel?ufigen Jahreszahlen der Antike um drei Jahrhunderte zu alt datieren. Gestirne, C14, Baumringe, Eisbohrkerne, sowie Dopplungen best?tigen diese Zweifel an der traditionellen Zeitrechnung. Wie konnte es dazu kommen? Christliche Kirchen und Koran lehrten, die Sieben Schl?fer von Ephesus h?tten in einer H?hle 300 Jahre verschlafen. So mussten die Gl?ubigen annehmen, alles was davor geschah, l?ge weit l?nger zur?ck. Verwechslung von Jahresangaben war daher unvermeidlich. Mittelalterliche Quellen zeigen, wie dieser Bruch in unserer Geschichtsschreibung mit ganz wenigen simplen Eingriffen verschleiert wurde. Erstmals bewahrheiten sich damit nun auch viele Angaben aus der Anfangszeit des Christentums – beginnend mit dem Stern von Bethlehem … denn die Bibel hat auch Recht.
