Rare édition originale de cet étonnant ouvrage. Évrard Titon du Tillet était un militaire amateur des arts. En 1708, il conçut le projet de faire exécuter une statue en bronze à la gloire des artistes du siècle de Louis XIV. Il confia son projet au sculpteur Louis Garnier qui en réalisa une maquette en bronze en 1718. Faute de fonds, il ne put voir son projet exécuté à la taille voulue, et dut se contenter de la maquette ainsi que d'un dessin de Nicolas de Poilly qu'il fit graver et présenter au roi Louis XV. Il exposa dans la première partie du présent ouvrage son ambitieux dessein en décrivant minutieusement l'apparence que devait avoir la sculpture. La seconde partie consiste en une liste alphabétique des artistes (poètes et musiciens), avec leurs biographies, représentés sur le monument. Titon du Tillet rédigea plusieurs suites à cet ouvrage, augmentant le nombre des biographies, ce qui le rendit incontournable pour l'étude de la musique du Grand Siècle.

Summary How did societies change between the Early Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age? And what was the impetus that led to these changes - social contacts and innovation, intergenerational contacts, or perhaps simply adaptation? Taking these questions as its starting point, this richly detailed volume explores four different regions of southern Poland to compare and contrast the mechanisms that drove socio-cultural change in the region between the second and the first half of the first millennium BC. Drawing on standardized sets of archaeological data, the chapters gathered here examine the interplay of different factors influencing cultural change across five key parameters: environment; settlement patterns; settlement organization; economy; and material culture. The result is a beautifully illustrated volume that offers important insights into Central and Eastern European prehistory, made accessible for an English-speaking audience.

Summary The Bronze Age in Northern Europe was a place of diversity and contrast, an era that saw movements and changes not just of peoples, but of cultures, beliefs, and socio-political systems, and that led to the forging of ontological ideas materialized in landscapes, bodies, and technologies. Drawing on a range of materials and places, the innovative contributions gathered here in this volume explore the disparate facets of Bronze Age society across the Nordic region through the key themes of time and trajectory, rituals and everyday life, and encounters and identities. The contributions explore how and why society evolved over time, from the changing nature of sea travel to new technologies in house building, and from advances in lithic production to evolving burial practices and beliefs in the afterlife. This edited collection honours the ground-breaking research of Professor Christopher Prescott, an outstanding figure in the study of the Bronze Age north, and it takes as its inspiration the diversity, interdisciplinarity, and vitality of his own research in order to make a major new contribution to the field, and to shed new light on a Bronze Age full of contrasts and connections.

Summary This volume corresponds to the acts of a conference that closes the international interdisciplinary research project Badiyah, directed by Corinne Castel and Jan-Waalke Meyer (Directors of the Tell Al-Rawda and Tell Chuera archaeological missions). Both sites illustrate the importance of the 3rd millennium BCE 'circular cities' discovered in today's Syria. These pre-planned cities were fortified and organized following a concentric and radial urban pattern. They represent a particular form of the endogenous process of urbanization that appeared in this region when the first cities and territorial states emerged. The main results obtained from these two sites are compared to other Syrian 'circular cities' of the Early Bronze Age. Twenty-nine contributions enable us to reassess the process of urbanization in the Near East and to question the Southern Mesopotamian model as the unique cradle of urban civilization.

<p><span>L’âge du Bronze reste encore peu connu, encadré par deux grandes périodes abordées dès l’école, le Néolithique (6000 à 2300 av. J.-C.) et l’âge du Fer (800 à 30 av. J.-C.). Les quinze siècles de l’âge du Bronze (-2300 / - 800 av. J.-C.) correspondent à l’invention puis au développement de la métallurgie du bronze. Cet alliage résulte d’une association de cuivre et d’étain qui lui donne des qualités nouvelles bien supérieures à celle du cuivre connu dès le Ve millénaire av. J.-C. en Europe orientale et centrale. Sa fusion vers 950 °C permet des moulages grâce à des enveloppes réfractaires de pierre ou d’argile. Sa résistance mécanique favorise la fabrication d’armes (épées, lances...) et d’outils (marteaux, faucilles, couteaux ...) ; sa belle couleur or est exploitée pour les bijoux (bracelets, torques, perles et pendeloques...) ; sa sonorité est aussi utilisée pour des trompes (lurs) et sonnailles cliquetantes. Son martelage permet de produire des tôles fines à l’origine de vaisselles, de casques et cuirasses.</span></p><p><span>Les gisements de cuivre et d’étain sont très inégalement répartis en Europe et il faudra que les matériaux circulent à l’échelle du continent pour que cette révolution technique touche tous les territoires. Le développement de la métallurgie du bronze suppose la présence de spécialistes du métal : mineurs, prospecteurs « géologues », artisans bronziers et orfèvres. Avec le métal, les sociétés gagnent en efficacité car les outils sont plus solides ; en compétitivité avec une production qui s’accroît considérablement, en complexité car les échanges et les rapports sociaux se multiplient. L’art des bronziers laisse à penser qu’ils font partie de l’élite sociale ou qu’ils en sont proches du fait de leurs compétences.</span></p><p><span>Aujourd’hui, avec l’amplification des recherches dynamisées par l’archéologie préventive, des centaines de fouilles en France et en Europe mettent en lumière les nombreuses innovations de cette période. Avec ces données récentes, différentes images de l’âge du Bronze en France apparaissent : des manières d’être et de paraître, de produire, d’habiter, de vivre. L’exposition du Musée d’Archéologie nationale, construite en partenariat avec l’Institut national d’archéologie préventive et l’Association pour la Promotion des Recherches sur l’âge du Bronze souhaite présenter toutes ces données nouvelles avec le support du catalogue qui l’accompagne.</span></p><p><span>Ce millénaire et demi d’innovations techniques de l’âge du Bronze marquent définitivement notre histoire humaine.

Cependant des interconnections s’établissent à l’échelle du continent grâce à l’amplification des échanges et contacts, des mobilités des produits, des idées et des savoirs, des personnes.

Summary Hoards are among the most enigmatic of archaeological finds. The term 'hoard' itself has been applied to different assemblages across space and time, from the Stone Age into the modern era, with an inventory that typically includes artefacts made of valuable raw materials, to which significant symbolic meanings can also be assigned. Archaeologists have been trying to understand this phenomenon for much of the last century, sometimes emphasizing the universal nature of hoards, but more typically focusing on specific regions, chronologies, and finds. They have, for the most part, used results derived from typolo-chronological methods. Contemporary archaeology has, however, developed a broad spectrum of paradigms and methods, and hoardresearch in the twenty-first century draws on an increasingly wide range of approaches. This volume presents examples of research that make use of these multi-faceted approaches through a focus on European hoards of metal objects dating to the Bronze and Iron Ages. The contributors to this volume make use of diverse methods, among them archaeometallurgical analyses, studies of use- and production-wear, destruction patterns, and landscape archaeology, but together, their common denominator is the search for a methodological toolkit that will allow researchers to better understand the phenomenon of hoard-deposition more broadly.

Summary This monograph examines the Late Classical and Hellenistic bronze coinages of five mints in the Thessalian perioikic region of Magnesia. At the core of this work lies a new die-study of the coins produced by the strategically and economically important coastal cities of Homolion and Meliboia as well as the lesser-known mints of Eureai, Eurymenai, and Rhizous. Combining this die-study with a close examination of the cities' topographical context in a border region between Thessaly and Macedon and drawing on archaeological data from Magnesia and beyond, the monograph addresses key questions concerning the chronology, denominations, and circulation patterns of the bronze issues minted on eastern Mount Ossa. This analysis not only throws new light on coin production in Late Classical and Hellenistic Magnesia, but also allows a discussion of the possible military and non-military functions of the region's different bronze issues. Placing the coins of Eureai, Eurymenai, Homolion, Meliboia, and Rhizous in their wider context, this monograph furthermore addresses broader issues in the history of Thessalian coinage. In particular, the monograph's regional approach offers an unusual opportunity to examine to what extent Thessaly's Late Classical and Hellenistic civic coins were genuinely local in design, production, and function. The monograph thus both explores the coins of Mount Ossa and contributes towards a better understanding of the introduction and development of bronze coinages in the wider Thessalian region and beyond.

Summary Coins of the Ptolemaic Empire, Part 1, Volumes 1 and 2 (Precious Metal and Bronze) by Catharine Lorber, is the massive, long-anticipated catalogue of coins struck by the first four Ptolemaic kings. It essentially rewrites the sections on these rulers in J. N. Svoronos' classic, but now much out of date,?Ta Nomismata tou Kratous ton Ptolemaion?(1904). The body of coinage catalogued by Svoronos is enlarged by more than 300 further emissions in precious metal and more than 180 emissions in bronze, recorded from subsequent scholarship, from hoards, from commercial sources, and from private collections, and constituting about a third of the total catalogue entries. Lorber's attributions, dates, and interpretations rest on numismatic research since Svoronos, or on the latest archaeological and hoard information. She also provides extensive historical and numismatic introductions that give the coins deeper context and meaning. The coinage of Ptolemies I through IV is supplemented by a few issues possibly attributable to Cleomenes of Naucratis, the predecessor of Ptolemy I in Egypt, as well as by coinages of Ptolemy Ceraunus, Magas, and Ptolemy of Telmessus, members of the Lagid dynasty ruling their own kingdoms outside of Egypt.

Summary Located along the River Euphrates, in modern-day Syria, el-Qitar was a mountain fortress of the Middle Bronze Age. Excavations, fully analysed in this volume for the first time, revealed extensive fortifications, with two city gates, multiple towers, a fosse, an earthen rampart, and casemate walls, in addition to a public building lined with orthostats of the Middle Bronze Age. After a short time, the site was abandoned and, following a gap of several centuries, re-settled in the Late Bronze Age. It was then that upper and lower settlements were established within the old fortifications, possibly in the wake of Hittite campaigns in Northern Syria that destroyed nearby towns.?Detailed analyses of ceramics and objects explore the possibility that el-Qitar was re-occupied by local refugees. This volume traces the changing function of the site over time, arguing that el-Qitar might have been the site known as Dur Samsi-Addu during the Middle Bronze Age, and Til-Abnu of the Late Bronze Age.

Summary The Diyala region in eastern Iraq has long been a focal area of study for scholars of the Bronze Age, thanks both to its long history of human occupation, and its position as a site of strategic importance. Drawing on this strong tradition of scholarship and the results of numerous excavations and collections in the area, the seven contributions gathered in this volume aim to offer new insights into the cultures and societies of the Bronze Age Diyala by proposing new questions, problems, and approaches. Exploring subjects as widespread as architecture and iconography, cultural and economic history, the study of social networks, historiography, and the identification of ancient cities, these chapters explore the richness of the Bronze Age Diyala from a range of perspectives, and together offer important new insights into our understanding of the area.

Bronze à patine brune, nuancée médaille, sur base cylindrique en bronze parsemée de végétation, diamètre 77 mm, hauteur 185 mm (socle inclus).
Bronze ciselé non signé et sans cachet de fondeur mais dune parfaite exécution et en parfait état, datant très certainement de la seconde partie du XIXe s.Lattribution de ce modèle, souvent associé à celui de Rousseau, est très incertaine. Le modèle est parfois attribué à Houdon, parfois à Forestier, parfois encore à latelier de Claude-Antoine Rosset (cf. Voltaire, bronze, H. 32,5 cm, Paris, musée du Louvre, inv. OA 5297) ; un modèle similaire en plâtre patiné, passé en vente en 2019 chez Delon-Hoebanx, était, quant à lui, signé et daté sur la base " Suzanne " " 1790 " et donc attribué à François-Marie Suzanne (1750-1802).Notre exemplaire est de taille réduite par rapport à ceux que lon rencontre parfois en salle des ventes (la plupart du temps de taille supérieure à 300 mm).

Un aperçu complet de l'archéologie syro-palestinienne des origines à la fin du monde antique. Le tome II est découpé en deux parties : 1. De l'Age du Bronze moyen jusqu'à la période classique (2200-332 av. J.-C.) par Aharon Kempinski ; 2. De l'époque d'Alexandre le Grand à la fin de la période romaine (332 av. J.-C.-324 apr. J.-C.) par Michael Avi-Yonah. — "Les temps qui, dans la zone syro-palestinienne, ont précédé les récits de la Bible étaient peu connus. Depuis quelques décennies de nombreuses équipes de chercheurs ont entrepris des fouilles qui se sont révélées très fructueuses. Jean Perrot y a lui-même participé comme directeur de la Mission archéologique française en Israël. Dans cet ouvrage, avec de belles illustrations à l'appui, il présente les problèmes posés aux archéologues, les méthodes scientifiques utilisées, les résultats obtenus. Ainsi commencent de s'éclairer les jalons de la préhistoire d'une région où l'homme semble être apparu il y a plus de 500.000 ans et a laissé, au cours des millénaires, des traces importantes de sa vie au milieu d'un environnement écologique changeant, de son industrie, des diverses civilisations qu'il a créées jusqu'à l'âge du bronze. Une bibliographie, détaillée par thèmes, complète ce volume." (Pierre Frison, revue Etudes, 1979) — "Cet ouvrage prolonge celui qu'a publié Jean Perrot (cf. Études, juillet 1979, p. 140). Descendant le cours du temps, il poursuit la présentation des résultats des recherches archéologiques effectuées dans la région syro-palestinienne. Il comporte deux parties, dont chacune est l'oeuvre d'un spécialiste. La première concerne l'âge de bronze, l'âge de fer et la période perse, au cours desquelles semble se croiser une influence venue de Syrie septentrionale et de Mésopotamie, avec une autre venue d'Egypte. La seconde partie va de l'époque d'Alexandre le Grand jusqu'à la fin de la période romaine : elle analyse les étapes de l'évolution qu'ont connue l'architecture, la sculpture, la peinture, les arts mineurs. L'intérêt de ces études est de dégager les strates successives d'une civilisation riche en histoire, de distinguer son originalité et les courants qui l'ont traversée, d'éclairer des sources qui ont nourri le premier art chrétien. 85 illustrations bien choisies, des tableaux chronologiques et des bibliographies complètent heureusement le texte."

En juillet 1986, au lieu-dit Sanxingdui, à quelques kilomètres de Chengdu, capitale du Sichuan, le hasard d'un coup de pioche révèle la plus inattendue des découvertes archéologiques : une douzaine de têtes en bronze, de grande taille, empilées dans une fosse. Aucun site de l'âge du bronze, en Chine, n'avait livré jusqu'alors de telles effigies humaines. Un mois plus tard, un autre coup de pioche met au jour le contenu d'une seconde fosse plus riche encore. Tous ces objets - environ 1 700 dont plus de 50 têtes et masques pour les deux fosses - ont été brisés et brûlés avant d'être inhumés. Pourquoi ? D'où vient cette civilisation ancienne du Sichuan ? Quels rapports entretient-elle avec les autres cultures, les autres époques de l'âge du bronze ? C'est à ces questions que l'équipe de spécialistes internationaux entourant Alain Thote tente de répondre en présentant d'abord les découvertes faites dans les dernières décennies à Sanxingdui, à Jinsha et à Zhuwajie, puis les sites de l'époque des Royaumes combattants au Sichuan.
