Stamped amphorae and their stamps on them have been the subject of scientific studies for more than a century, and the stamped amphorae found in both archaeological excavations and museum collections have been evaluated and brought to the literature. The three complete stamped Rhodian amphorae registered in the Güray Museum inventory are the subject of this study. The aim of the study is to date the amphorae and to determine the eponyms and fabricants on the stamps on their handles. In this study, on the first amphora, the eponym Aratophanes I and the month Artamitios and the fabricant Aristokles II; on the second the eponym Aleximachos and the month Thesmophorios and the fabricant Bromios; on the last one, the eponym Timodikos and the month Sminthios and the fabricant Nysios were detected together. In this study, new eponym-fabricant associations, which were not previously identified, were detected and the use of fabricant and eponym matrices/dies together was revealed. Thus, new contributions have been made to the understanding of the Rhodian amphora stamping system and its chronology.

AbstractWomen’s sexuality has been defi ned, regulated and restricted throughout history, religions and cultures. Bible teachings regarding women’s sexuality have also responded to the concept of sexuality in its world. Thisresearch analyzes 1 Corinthians 7 using a socio-historical perspective to see how Paul applies specifi c rhetorical patterns to revise the concept of female sexuality lived by the Corinthians. The central theme of 1 Corinthians 7 is marriage and celibacy. Examining Corinth’s social and cultural context, this study verifi es that Paul’s opinion regarding women’s sexuality transcended those of the Jewish tradition and Greco-Roman culture. Nevertheless, behind his parallel statement pattern that appears more egalitarian, Paul is more interested in regulating women’s bodies and sexualities. AbstrakSeksualitas perempuan telah senantiasa didefi nisikan, diatur dan dibatasi dalam berbagai masa, agama dan budaya. Alkitab sebagai teks suci juga turut ambil bagian dalam merespon konsep seksualitas perempuan yangada dalam dunianya. Artikel ini meneliti 1 Korintus 7 dengan pendekatan sosio-historis untuk melihat bagaimana Rasul Paulus menggunakan pola-pola retoris tertentu untuk merevisi konsep seksualitas perempuan yang dihidupi oleh Jemaat di Korintus. Tema utama dari 1 Korintus 7 adalah kawin dan selibat. Dengan mempertimbangkan konteks sosial dan budaya yang dihidupi orang-orang Korintus, penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa pendapat Paulus mengenai seksualitas perempuan telah melampaui tradisi Yahudi dan budaya Greko-Roma. Meskipun demikian, di balik pola pernyataan paralelnya yang terkesan lebih egaliter, Paulus lebih tertarik untuk mengatur tubuh dan seksualitas perempuan.

This is the beginning of a new series monitoring on the one hand hitherto unknown types or unpublished variants from known series of ancient coins struck in Lycia, that have recently appeared at the international markets, and introducing on the other hand new research in the field by providing not only the bibliographical references but also short abstracts of the respective articles. It is meant to be continued on a fairly regular basis, perhaps in every second or third future issue. Readers are explicitly invited to participate and send in relevant observations and remarks to the author or to the editors of the journal.

According to Homer, ancient ruins were still visible in the Trojan plain at the time of the famous war, and were considered vestiges of an older world. This essay—which is part of an ongoing investigation into the various strata of the past that interact within the Iliad—focuses on two of these ruins. Its aim is not to discuss historical or archaeological issues, but to analyse some of the legends that scholiasts and mythographers relate to these remains. I seek to contribute to a better understanding of how certain tales, to which the Iliad refers without explaining them in any detail, resonated in the earliest Homeric performances.

This paper focuses on Herodotus’ mention of Sappho in the Histories (2.134-5). Through the analysis of some of the extant sources on the involvement of her brother Charaxus with the hetaira Doricha/Rhodopis, it advances an interpretation of Sappho’s fr. 55 V as relevant to the affair. It then draws attention to Herodotus’ description of courtesans, in the same context, with the poetic term ἀοίδιμος. The adjective occurs only once in Homer, in the self-deprecating words that Helen speaks to Hector (Il. 6.354-8). Such Homeric echo might be understood as triggering an allusion to Sappho’s own treatment of Helen in fr. 16 V: Helen’s behaviour in that poem in fact closely matches no one other’s than Charaxus’ own. The possibility that Herodotus might be engaging with more than one Sapphic poem in this context finds a parallel in his engagement with Pindar’s poetry in 3.38, where, it has been argued, he ‘contaminates’ two distinct Pindaric intertexts (frr. 169a and 215 S.-M.). The contamination of thematically linked poems might in turn suggest, in both cases, sympotic reperformances as possible contexts for Herodotus’ reception of Greek lyric poetry.

Sarah Levin-Richardson

In this book, Sarah Levin-Richardson offers the first authoritative examination of Pompeii’s purpose-built brothel, the only verifiable brothel from Greco-Roman antiquity. Taking readers on a tour of the structure, including the rarely seen upper floor, she illuminates the subculture housed within its walls. Here, prostitutes could flout the norms of society and proclaim themselves sexual subjects and agents, while servile clients were allowed to act as “real men.” Prostitutes and clients also exchanged gifts, greetings, jokes, taunts, and praise. Written in a clear, engaging style and accompanied by ample illustrations and translations of humorous and haunting graffitti, Levin-Richardson’s book will become a new touchstone for those interested in the history of women, slavery, and prostitution in the classical world.

Reúne este volume trabalhos que foram apresentados no Réseau Thématique Plutarque Européen, na Universidade de Toulouse, que decorreu em Setembro de 2014. Coincidiu, infelizmente, a sua publicação com o falecimento da Professora Françoise Frazier, ilustre classicista e uma das principais investigadoras, nas duas últimas decádas, da obra de Plutarco. Com toda a justiça, o livro abre com uma nota prévia, em que, de forma breve, são realçados os valores da mulher e o saber da professora, com especial ênfase no seu extraordinário trabalho científico, filológico e pedagógico. Os caminhos de análise filológica, de grande profundidade filosófica, que foi abrindo são a maior herança que Françoise Frazier nos deixa, sobretudo para aqueles que de forma mais próxima foram ouvindo as suas lições e reflexões.

In Cicero’s correspondence, the references to the landscape and the sights from the villas do not only mean that the epistolary "dialogue" often emphasizes the spatiotemporal frame of the exchange. Talking about landscape is of course a way of praising private properties of the correspondents. But we also know that landscape and views can express feelings and psychological states. Furthermore, they are a frame for witty badinage and complex scaenographic constructions with the amici docti. They also have a role to play in the thoughts, exchanged between educated familiars, on the political situation : in the letters, the landscape, seen by the private man, is still eminently political.

A pesquisa acadêmica sobre Homero está crescentemente inclinada a usar um modelo estematológico para explicar a relação do poeta com seus predecessores, sejam gregos ou não gregos: isto é, Homero aparentemente usou poemas escritos e fixos na maneira alusiva de Calímaco ou Virgílio. Todavia, à parte seus profundos problemas metodológicos, essa concepção da cultura poética grega não encontra paralelo ou apoio na recepção de Homero nos poetas líricos arcaicos gregos mais antigos: não há nestes uma boa evidência de uma cultura literária altamente alusiva até a metade do séc. VI a.C., na poesia de Estesícoro, cuja obra representa uma clara mudança no modo como os textos homéricos são conhecidos, recebidos e recriados. ‘Não há Virgílios’ na Grécia arcaica, e a concepção não tem lugar na história da literatura grega mais antiga.

The Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965 initiated the second major paradigm shift in the Catholic Church. The first major paradigm shift, according to Karl Rahner, was the transition from a Jewish Christian Church after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. to the initiation of the Greco-Roman Church which flourished for almost 1,900 years in many parts of the world. 1 The second great paradigm shift in the history of the Catholic Church arrived after Vatican II, which ended the lengthy sway of the Greco-Roman Church and led, as Rahner wrote, to “the Church actualizing itself precisely as a world Church.” 2
