The So-called “Mithraic Cave” of Angera
2018
Summary The existence of a mithraeum at Angera (VA, Italy) was assumed for the first time in the 19th century, after the discovery of two Mithraic inscriptions re-used as ornaments of a private garden in the middle of the small town. The location of the alleged mithraeum is still uncertain: the inscriptions have been found out of context, and the place of worship has never been localized. The “Antro mitraico” (Mithraic Cave), also known as “Tana del Lupo”, is a natural cave situated at the base of the East wall of the cliff on which the Rocca Borromeo (the Castle of Angera) stands. At the cave the most visible archaeological evidences are tens of breaches cut into the outside rocky wall, wh…
A fossil sea urchin from the Celtic site Goincet in the Forez (Poncins, dép. Loire) and a perspective at the meaning of ovum anguinum
2014
Dieser Artikel behandelt die neue Entdeckung eines versteinerten Seeigels in einem archäologischen Fundkontext. Das Exemplar weist die notwendigen Charakteristika auf, um seine Art und seine vermutete Herkunft genauer bestimmen zu können. Der fossile Seeigel wurde wahrscheinlich aus einer Entfernung von mehreren Hundert Kilometern herbeigebracht. Es wird auch sein archäologischer Kontext untersucht, der sich im Bereich einer Straße in einer protourbanen Besiedlung befindet. Die archäologische Schicht mit dem Seeigel wird an das Ende des 1. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. datiert. Weiterhin wurde eine forschungsgeschichtliche Bilanz der Funde von versteinerten Seeigeln in ihrem vorkeltischen, keltische…

Suden uskonnollinen asema antiikin Roomassa
2018
Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tutkia suden uskonnollista merkitystä antiikin Roomassa sekä tuoda esille suden ja Rooman välisen erityissuhteen taustoja. Keskeisinä tutkimuskysymyksinäni on selvittää, missä määrin roomalaisten ja lähikansojen susiin liittyvissä kulteissa oli yhteisiä rakennetekijöitä, mikä oli suden merkitys roomalaisille enne-eläimenä sekä välttelivätkö roomalaiset susiin kohdistuvaa väkivaltaa. Tutkimukseni perustuu klassillisen filologian metodiin eli kielellisten dokumenttien kriittiseen tarkasteluun historiallisessa ja kulttuurisessa kontekstissaan. Osoitan tutkimuksessani, ettei suden uskonnollinen erityisasema rajoittunut antiikin Italiassa pelkästään roomalaisiin.…
Was There a Taboo on Killing Wolves in Rome?
2014
The treatment given to wolves differed from the treatment meted out to other large predators. The Romans generally seem to have refrained from intentionally harming wolves. For instance, they were not hunted for pleasure (but only in order to protect herds that were out at pasture), and not displayed in the venationes, either. The special status of the wolf was not based on national ideology, but rather was connected to the religious importance of the wolf to the Romans. peerReviewed
ROMAN DACIA IN THE DIGITAL ERA
2020
The study of Roman Dacia in the last two centuries produced thousands of articles, studies, monographs and proceedings and revealed at least 3800 archaeological sites from the short period of existence of the province between 106-270 AD. The large quantity of material evidence – epigraphic, figurative, ceramic, architectural and numismatic – is constantly growing due to the numerous rescue excavations in the last two decades. The emergence of digital humanities and the possibilities of digital era created new perspectives in cataloguing, collecting and presenting archaeological big data. The article presents some of the major results of digital humanities focusing on the digitization of the…
