Short-term occupations at high elevation during the Middle Paleolithic at Kalavan 2 (Republic of Armenia).

2021

The Armenian highlands encompasses rugged and environmentally diverse landscapes and is characterized by a mosaic of distinct ecological niches and large temperature gradients. Strong seasonal fluctuations in resource availability along topographic gradients likely prompted Pleistocene hominin groups to adapt by adjusting their mobility strategies. However, the role that elevated landscapes played in hunter-gatherer settlement systems during the Late Pleistocene (Middle Palaeolithic [MP]) remains poorly understood. At 1640 m above sea level, the MP site of Kalavan 2 (Armenia) is ideally positioned for testing hypotheses involving elevation-dependent seasonal mobility and subsistence strateg…

La chora e i notabili di Iasos in epoca ellenistico-romana. A proposito di un libro (e di uno studio) recente su Chalketor e Iasos

2017

L'analisi di una recente monografia storico-epigrafica di Thibaut Boulay e Anne-Valérie Pont su Chalketor di Caria (2014) e di uno studio della stessa Pont sui proprietari terrieri di Iasos (2016) offre l'occasione per discutere alcuni aspetti riguardanti la chora di Iasos e l'appartenenza del villaggio di Chalketor a questo territorio, l'attribuzione di Iasos ai distretti giudiziari (conventus, dioikeseis) di Mylasa e quindi di Alabanda all'interno della provincia Asia, il ruolo politico e socio-economico dei notabili iasei e l'ascesa di alcuni di essi alla classe senatoria. The analysis of a recent historical-epigraphical monograph on Chalketor of Caria (2014) by Thibaut Boulay and Anne-V…

Tripolis on the Maeander in Hellenistic and Roman Age (Cent. 3rd B.C. - 3rd A.D.): Epigraphy and Prosopography

2017

This appendix is conceived to be a useful tool for the study of the history of Tripolis on the Maeander (Lydia, Anatolia). It offers a catalogue of the already published inscriptions concerning Tripolis, which come from the same city (A.1) or from anywhere else (A.2), and a prosopographical dossier of the citizens of Apollonia/Tripolis and other important persons of Hellenistic (B) and Roman age (C) up to the 3rd cent. AD, such as Roman senators (C.1), Roman magistrates and officials (C.2), Roman knights (C.3), federal magistrates of the koinon tes Asias (C.4), civic magistrates and councillors of Tripolis (C.5), “monetales” (C.6), civic priests (C.7), agonothetai and athletes (C.8), and si…

Tripolis on the Maeander under Roman Rule (Cent. 2nd B.C. - 3rd A.D.): History and Epigraphy

2017

This paper aims at depicting the historical and administrative geography of Tripolis on the Maeander (Lydia, Anatolia) within the Roman province Asia since its institution (129 B.C.) up to the provincial reform of Diocletian (late 3rd cent. A.D.). Tripolis traditionally belonged to the south-eastern part of Lydia, which in the Lykos Valley, and especially along the Maeander’s stream, met and mingled with Caria and Phrygia. The changes of names have an important historical meaning for the city, since the Hellenistic age (Apollonia) up to the Civil Wars of the late 1st cent. B.C. (Antoniopolis, Tripolis). Three wars can be considered as turning points for the Greek cities in Roman Asia: the A…

Schiavi, poveri e benefattori nell’Anatolia tardoantica: la visione socio-economica delle comunità enkratite attraverso gli atti apocrifi degli apost…

2015

Different sources (epigrahical, literary, apocryphal) can be used to analyse the Christian heretical sects connected to an enkratite movement (Enkratites, Apotactites, Sakkophoroi, Hydroparastatai, Aerians), which was characterised by radical forms of self-restraint (enkrateia). Epigraphical documents are helpful in setting these communities in the rural background of late antique Anatolia (4th-5th cent. AD). On the other side the apocryphal acts of the apostles – specially the so called Acta Petri from the Codex Vercellensis and the Acta Philippi – offer important hints on social and economic ideas developed by Enkratites, in particular concerning the most debated issues of evangelic pover…
