MEIER Ludwig

Neue kaiserzeitliche Inschriften aus Kibyra

The new inscriptions published in this volume are an impressive cross-section of the prosperous urban society of Roman Imperial Cibyra. Outstanding honorary families, some of whose members were able to rise to the imperial aristocracy, stand before our eyes in desirable differentiation of their kinship relations: the Claudii Paulini, the Claudii Polemones or the hitherto unknown Flavii Captiones, who were among the builders of the impressive stadium of Cibyra. The findings of the excavations in...

TSETSENTSOLMON Baatarnaran

Constructing National Culture

Music and the Performing Arts in Mongolia

Mongolia has faced rapid ideological shifts towards global cosmopolitan perspectives since the collapse of state socialism in the 1990s. Contemporary Mongolian music and the performing arts are dynamic and market-oriented, and these new artistic practices contrast with existing institutional patterns and social settings inherited from the previous regime. In the field of artistic practices, there is a conflict between the old state structure, which was left intact as a vessel, and new...

Von Hyele zu Velia, Volume II

Die Stadtmauern im urbanistischen Kontext. Die Funde. Die österreichischen Forschungen in der West- und Unterstadt (1974, 1990‒1993 und 1997‒2001). Mit Beiträgen von Renata Cantilena, Mechthild Ladurner und Luigi Vecchio

Comprehensive research, undertaken by a multidisciplinary team from the University of Vienna between 1974 and 2001 in the Lower town of Velia, studied the evolution of the city walls in relation to the urban development of the Phocaean polis on the Tyrrhenian coast and provided new information on the development of the city mainly between the 5th and the 2nd c. BC. The contextualization and processing of the finds from these excavations (pottery, small finds and coins) allowed for a new,...

Von Hyele zu Velia, Volume I

Die Stadtmauern im urbanistischen Kontext. Die Befunde. Die österreichischen Forschungen in der West- und Unterstadt (1974, 1990‒1993 und 1997‒2001). Mit Beiträgen von Gert Augustin und Roman Sauer

The urban development of a city is often closely linked to its fortifications. Comprehensive research, undertaken by a multidisciplinary team from the University of Vienna between 1974 and 2001 in the Lower town of Velia, studied the evolution of the city walls in relation to the urban development of the Phocaean polis on the Tyrrhenian coast and provided new information on the development of the city mainly between the 5th and the 2nd c. BC. The study focused on the architecture of the...

Untersuchungen zu visuellen Strukturen und Wirkungsmechanismen in der römischen Katakombenmalerei

The book opens up a completely new perspective on Roman catacomb painting. As key monuments of Christian Archaeology, the catacombs of Rome repeatedly have been the focus of research since their rediscovery. Nevertheless, overarching questions concerning the conceptual design of their burial sites decorated with paintings, have hardly been addressed so far. The present study fills this research gap by using a comprehensive material base to analyze which guiding principles were decisive for the...

The Syriac Script at Turfan

First Soundings

This is the first book-length palaeographic study of about a thousand fragments in Syriac and Sogdian languages discovered between 1902 and 1914 in the Turfan area on the ancient Northern Silk Roads. This manuscript material, probably dating between the late 8th and 13th /14th centuries, is of utmost relevance for the history of an area that represents a crossroads region of various communities, languages and religions, not least the East Syriac Christian community. Palaeographic factors such...

Unter dem Siegel Roms

Ausgewählte Schriften (2004‒2020)

The present volume contains 40 papers on the Roman Empire, published between 2004 and 2020. Several papers have as their starting point the province of Dacia. They focus upon themes like the conquest of Dacia; the foundation, the colonisation, the organisation and the urbanisation of the province; its economic, social and politic structures; its military history (legions, auxiliary units, hierarchy) and, finally, the reasons for its abandonment. Prosopographical studies deal with personalities...

The Sinai Palimpsests and Other Advances in Palimpsest Studies

The study of palimpsest manuscripts has a long tradition and has led to spectacular discoveries of new texts or new text versions. Recent decades have seen the development of advanced nondestructive methods of multispectral imaging and computer-based image processing. The focus of such research have been individual manuscripts, such as the Archimedes palimpsest that was studied in Baltimore, or the Dexippus fragments in Vienna. The Sinai Palimpsests Project broke new ground by studying for the...

Synchronizing the Destructions of the Mycenaean Palaces

The Late Bronze Age Mycenaean palaces in southern and central Greece stood at the head of the earliest state system on the European continent. The authors, all leading scholars in Bronze Age research and often engaged in excavating the palace sites themselves, focus in their contributions on the most recent progress in pottery studies, in order to arrive at precise relative chronological dates of the destruction events. The investigated archaeological sites range from Crete in the south to the...
