‎Byzantine Attica. An Archaeology of Settlement and Landscape (4th-12th Centuries)‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 664 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:90 b/w, 106 col., 11 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503611204.‎

‎Summary Attica, the region which surrounds Athens (Greece) is a key area for understanding the transformation of the ancient Roman world to its Medieval successor in the eastern Mediterranean. Located at a crossroads for land and maritime communications, being well populated, carrying a thorough administrative organization and a heavy cultural and religious tradition, the region participated in the broader historic evolutions from the 4th to the 12th centuries. Moreover, Attica stands out in contemporary historic and archaeological research due to its very intensive field research, starting in the 19th century and culminating since the 1960s, through rescue excavation and systematic studies. The outcome of this multi-faceted research on field and monuments which concerns the 4th to 12th centuries forms the backbone of the present volume. Stepping beyond this compilation, however, this study proceeds into being a synthesis of evidence on settlement patterns, road communications, defensive works, religious activities and burial habits. These topics are underpinned by aspects which belong to the longue dur e, geography and the natural environment, which are considered as crucial to the understanding of the Byzantine history. In short, the present book covers as many aspects of the studied area as possible, aiming to show the potential of regional studies for the history and archaeology of Late Antiquity and Byzantium.

‎Writing Tablets of Roman Tongeren (Belgium) and Associated Wooden Finds‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2025 Hardback, Pages: 424 p. Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:3 b/w, 295 col., 11 tables b/w. Language:English *new. ISBN 9782503616872.‎

‎Roman wooden writing tablets, known in Latin as tabulae ceratae, have been found by archaeologists in various locations around the former capital of the civitas/municipium Tungrorum or Roman Tongeren (now the Belgian city of Tongeren-Borgloon). These rare and delicate finds are remarkable not only due to the excellent state of their preservation, but also because they are inscribed with the remnants of texts, once etched into an overlying wax layer, that can, to the discerning eye, still be deciphered. The tablets not only provide concrete information about religious, judicial and administrative practices, but they also enhance our understanding of the complex processes of Romanisation and Latinisation in the northwestern civitates and municipia of the Roman Empire. Unearthed in the first half of the twentieth century, with a second group discovered in 2013, the Roman tablets housed in the Gallo-Roman Museum of Tongeren-Borgloon and in the city?s municipal heritage depository, became the object of an in-depth study by an international team of specialists piloted by the Gallo-Roman Museum. It is the results of this project that are presented here in this volume for the first time. The painstaking process of deciphering and interpreting the script marks and text fragments is explored via analysis of palaeography, philology and onomastics, along with key scientific techniques such as wax analysis, wood species identification, and script visualisation by Multi-Light Reflectance Imaging. Rich detail is also provided about other associated wooden finds that shed light on how and where the tablets were produced. The result is a beautifully illustrated and insightful volume that introduces the lost world of Roman Tongeren and its writing tablets to professionals and the general public alike.Edited by Else Hartoch and with contributions by Bl nsdorf J., Scholz M., Accardo S., Boudin M., Deforce K., De Vos D., Groetembril S., Hameeuw H., Hartoch E., Marquez C., Pauwels D., Raepsaet G., Raepsaet-Charlier M.-Th., Vanderhoeven A., Van Kersen V., Verbanck-Pi rard A. & Watteeuw L.‎

‎Des Balkans aux iles britanniques, les Celtes ont etendu leur civilisation sur l'Europe entiere. Si ses premieres traces se decelent pres d'un demi millenaire plus tot, c'est du Ve siecle au Ier siecle avant notre ere qu'elle connaitra son apogee. A l'origine, ce sont des peuples diriges par des princes audacieux de Suisse, de Bourgogne, d'Allemagne, amoureux d'or, de vin et de conquetes, qui vont chercher leurs richesses chez leurs adversaires ; ils lancent ensuite des attaques jusqu'en Italie ou en Grece ; les Romains se souviendront longtemps du sac de Rome en 386 avant notre ere. Apres une breve periode, ou ils se sont stabilises dans le bassin parisien, en Rhenanie ou en Boheme, ils repartent jusqu'aux Balkans, ou a Delphes, et vers le Nord, jusqu'aux iles britanniques. Aux IIe et Ier siecles, leur territoire ne fera que se reduire, sous la pression des armees romaines. Vercingetorix en sera l'un des derniers symboles en Gaule. C'est en Irlande que leur culture survivra le plus longtemps, en alimentant le christianisme naissant de ses formes et de ses traditions. Pendant pres d'un millenaire, les Celtes se reveleront comme d'immenses artistes, maniant le fer, l'or et tous les metaux comme aucun autre peuple de l'epoque. Depuis maintenant deux siecles, on retrouve leurs tresors grace a d'incessantes fouilles et etudes. Conservateur et organisatrice de plusieurs expositions consacrees aux Celtes, Christiane Eluere fait revivre cette epopee de maniere vivante et fracassante. Livre est comme bon etat. ‎

‎Pal.M.A.I.S. Syro-Italian Joint Project. Selected Essays on the Southwest Quarter and the Peristyle Building of Palmyra in Memory of Prof. Maria Teresa Grassi‎

‎, Brepols, 2025 Hardback, Pages: xix + 190, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:190 b/w, 61 col., 10 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503607238.‎

‎Summary The Pal.M.A.I.S. Syro-Italian Joint Project at Palmyra, established in 2007, aimed to shed light on private housing in the Roman East. Through excavations in Palmyra's southwest quarter, the remains of a residential complex, the 'Peristyle Building', were uncovered; this site was built in the Roman period but was inhabited up to the eighth century AD. This volume, dedicated to Prof. Maria Teresa Grassi (Universit degli Studi di Milano), who co-directed the project together with Dr Walid Asaad (Museum of Palmyra), presents selected studies stemming from the Pal.M.A.I.S. Project. It draws together contributions dedicated to the topography of the southwest quarter, the excavation of the Peristyle Building, and selected classes of material. Through detailed analysis and the presentation of fresh data, this volume sheds new light on a relatively unexplored sector of a threatened UNESCO World Heritage site.
