Eranos. Acta philologica Suecana was founded in 1896 by Vilhelm Lundström, reader at Uppsala University and from 1907 professor of Classical philology at the University of Gothenburg. Prof. Lundström had sole charge of Eranos until his death in 1940 (vols. 1–37). Vol. 38 (1940) was edited by Dr. Harry Armini, Gothenburg. In 1941 the editorship was taken over by Dr. Tönnes Kleberg, Gothenburg, head librarian of Uppsala University from 1946. Assisted by various co-editors — Prof. Gudmund Björck (1946–55), Prof. Stig Y. Rudberg (1956–73), and Prof. Josef Svennung (1956–73) — he remained at the helm until the end of 1973. Thereafter the journal was edited by Prof. Birger Bergh, Lund (1973–96), Prof. Åke Fridh, Gothenburg (1973–91), Prof. Stig Y. Rudberg, Lund (1973–91), Prof. Jan-Olof Tjäder, Uppsala (1973–91), Prof. Sten Eklund, Uppsala (1991–96), Prof. Jan Fredrik Kindstrand, Uppsala (1991–2001), Prof. Lennart Rydén, Uppsala (1991–2002), Prof. Hans Helander, Uppsala (1995–2007), Prof. Monica Hedlund, Uppsala (1996–2007), Dr. Maria Berggren, Uppsala (1997– 2003), Prof. Jan Olof Rosenqvist, Uppsala (2002–5), Dr. Krister Östlund, Uppsala (2002–13), Prof. Jerker Blomqvist, Lund (2004–7), Prof. Eva-Carin Gerö, Stockholm (2002–11), Dr. Hans-Roland Johnsson, Stockholm (2008–11), Prof. Gunhild Vidén, Göteborg (2012–19), Dr. Johanna Akujärvi, Lund (2020–22).

Eranos publishes original scholarly papers (in English, German, and French) on Greek and Latin philology, including Medieval Latin, Neo-Latin and Byzantine Philology, and on Antiquity and Byzantine Studies in general. We also welcome contributions in Latin and the Scandinavian languages.

The journal has an international scope. In order to maintain a high academic standard, all submissions to Eranos are subject to anonymous peer review by at least two experts prior to publication.

Römische Kleinfunde aus Holz aus dem Legionslager Vindonissa – GPV XX

Rudolf Fellmann 

Der Schutthügel vor dem Nordtor des Legionlagers von Vindonissa bildet eine der grössten Fundstellen römischer Holzobjekte im ganzen römischen Reich. Inklusive der Schreibtäfelchen (in einem separaten Band aufgearbeitet) sind dies mehr als 1800 Objekte. Während 70–75 Jahren wurde der Abfall aus dem Legionslager über die natürliche Terrassenböschung hinuntergeschüttet. Die Erhaltungsbedingungen für organisches Material waren ideal: lehmiger, immer feuchter Boden. Die vorliegende Publikation widmet sich den Kleinfunden aus Holz aus dem Legionslager Vindonissa.

La Sardegna nel mondo romano fino a Costantino: Tomo I

Copertina per La Sardegna nel mondo romano fino a Costantino: Tomo I
DOI: https://doi.org/10.13125/unicapress.978-88-3312-142-0

Sinossi

I Romani sottrassero la Sardegna – almeno stando a Polibio – con l’inganno e con giustificazioni inaccettabili: occuparono un’isola vasta, popolosa e fertile, senza esser stati provocati, molti mesi dopo il trattato che chiudeva la prima guerra punica. Questa sarebbe stata la causa principale della guerra annibalica, dopo la proditoria occupazione delle città, delle terre, delle miniere da parte dei mercenari per conto dei Romani, alla vigilia della rivolta di Hampsicora.
A partire da questo momento, le mille eredità culturali, linguistiche, istituzionali, giuridiche, economiche paleosarde e cartaginesi in Sardegna si confrontarono, anche militarmente con Roma, dimostrando una complessità e una dignità che andavano ben al di là della sola esperienza punica.
Furono i populares, in particolare Cesare e poi Augusto, ad avviare un processo di “romanizzazione” di quella che Cicerone conosce ancora come la natio Sarda, processo che non oscurò mai completamente la cultura locale, ma che divenne inarrestabile e che si accompagnò con il nuovo immaginario dell’isola felice (eudàimon), che godeva di una mitica abbondanza di prodotti ed era abitata dalle Ninfe del mare e della terra. Questo volume vuole tentare di ribaltare la prospettiva di interpretazione della storia della Sardegna, non più come isolata, ma inserita attivamente nel mondo romano, richiamandosi ai grandi maestri che hanno studiato l’importanza decisiva della fase romana fino a Costantino e ben oltre.
Dietro questo libro c’è l’appassionato lavoro sul campo di generazioni di studiosi impegnati con coraggio in grandi imprese sempre più internazionali, con uno sguardo largo e un orizzonte finalmente aperto: a loro siamo debitori di tante scoperte, di tante intuizioni, di tanti scambi e confronti all’interno dell’ecuméne romana.

Identities and Ideologies in the Medieval East Roman World

Edited by Yannis Stouraitis 
Identities and Ideologies in the Medieval East Roman World
Examining ideas, beliefs and practices of identification in the medieval East Roman world
  • Approaches ideology and identity in the Byzantine world from different perspectives, top-down, bottom-up, and outside-in, and from various disciplinary perspectives including historical, literary, art-historical and archaeological
  • Explores what makes discourses ideological by giving them a central function in the promotion of power relations and interests on the macro-level of society as well as on the micro-level of certain social groups
  • Explores the interrelation between dominant imperial ideology and collective identification
  • Scrutinizes various kinds of identification, local-regional, religious, gender, class, ethno-cultural and regnal-political
  • Contributors include Leslie Brubaker, Kostis Smyrlis, Alicia Simpson and Dionysios Sthathakopoulos

This collection offers new insights into ideology and identity in the Byzantine world. The range of international contributors explore the content and role of various ideological discourses in shaping the relationship between the imperial centre and the provinces. Crucially, they examine various kinds of collective identifications and visions of community in the broader Byzantine world within and beyond the political boundaries of the empire.

This interdisciplinary collection includes historical, literary, art-historical and archaeological as well as cross-cultural perspectives along with the exploration of ideas and identifications in cultures on the empire’s periphery.

Theocritus and Things: Material Agency in the Idylls

Theocritus and Things

Foregrounds underrepresented agents (women, nature and the nonhuman) in and through the poetry of Theocritus

  • Provides a new approach to canonical Greek poetry
  • Brings Classics into conversation with burgeoning theoretical frameworks
  • Speaks to current political concerns about the relationship between humans and nature
  • Decentres the male human subject and listens to a wider cast of characters, offering a ‘from below’ reading


This book contributes to the literary-theoretical field of Material Ecocriticism, expanding its chronological remit, and is the first to apply it to Classics. Material Ecocriticism has been described as an exercise in listening – and it is to a series of underrepresented agents (women, nature, the nonhuman) in the poetry of Theocritus that this book urges us to listen. This ‘from below’ reading that allows nature and materiality their agency, that sees objects and the labour behind them, gives a new way in to the paradoxes of Hellenistic pastoral poetry: the urban backdrop to bucolic poetry, the artifice of the locus amoenus. This book reveals a detailed picture of material agency and a diverse cast of characters human and nonhuman in Theocritus’ Idylls, showing that while the poetry might be paradoxical it is not rarefied. And through a dark-ecological reading it highlights the darkness that undercuts the idyll.

Comunità umane tra Sardegna e Mediterraneo occidentale nel V millennio cal BC. Le produzioni ceramiche ‘San Ciriaco’

Copertina per Comunità umane tra Sardegna e Mediterraneo occidentale nel V millennio cal BC. Le produzioni ceramiche ‘San Ciriaco’

Sinossi

In virtù della sua posizione centrale nel Mediterraneo occidentale, la Sardegna costituisce una regione cruciale per la comprensione del processo di neolitizzazione e dell’evoluzione delle culture neolitiche nell’area nord-tirrenica. Nel pieno sviluppo dell’economia di produzione sull’isola, un ruolo fondamentale è svolto dai gruppi umani del Neolitico Medio B (4500-4000 cal BC), dei quali le produzioni materiali più distintive sono le ceramiche denominate ‘San Ciriaco’.

In questo lavoro, si propone una nuova lettura e definizione delle produzioni fittili ‘San Ciriaco’, fondata sull’analisi morfotipologica, morfometrica, tecnologica, stilistica e funzionale dei complessi ceramici rinvenuti nei siti della Sardegna centro-occidentale e sulla revisione critica dei dati disponibili nella letteratura scientifica. Questa ricerca offre un contributo alla conoscenza delle comunità umane artefici delle innovazioni tecniche e culturali che contraddistinsero l’isola nel più ampio scenario del Mediterraneo occidentale durante la seconda metà del V millennio cal BC.

Rabbinic Judaism in the Making: The Halakhah from Ezra to Judah I

Cover thumbnail for Rabbinic Judaism in the Making
Through the ages, theology in Judaism has played roles of varying importance. But the role of theology is minor compared with that of law and observance. This book is devoted to a study of the evolution of normative Judaism from the time of Ezra (ca. 400 B.C.) to Judah I, the Prince (ca. 200 A.D.). Its focus on law represents a realistic approach to the history of applied Judaism. Rabbinic Judaism in the Making is the first study in English to trace the evolution of Rabbinic Law and Rabbinic Judaism. A concise history of post-biblical normative Judaism in antiquity, Mr. Guttmann's book concentrates on the crucial inter-testamental period, and should be valuable to students of ancient history, and both Christian and Jewish theologians, ministers, and rabbis.

The Gurob Ship-Cart Model and Its Mediterranean Context: An Archaeological Find and Its Mediterranean Context

Shelley Wachsmann
Cover thumbnail for The Gurob Ship-Cart Model and Its Mediterranean Context

When Shelley Wachsmann began his analysis of the small ship model excavated by assistants of famed Egyptologist W. M. F. Petrie in Gurob, Egypt, in 1920, he expected to produce a brief monograph that would shed light on the model and the ship type that it represented. Instead, Wachsmann discovered that the model held clues to the identities and cultures of the enigmatic Sea Peoples, to the religious practices of ancient Egypt and Greece, and to the oared ships used by the Bronze Age Mycenaean Greeks.

Although found in Egypt, the prototype of the Gurob model was clearly an Aegean-style galley of a type used by both the Mycenaeans and the Sea Peoples. The model is the most detailed representation presently known of this vessel type, which played a major role in changing the course of world history. Contemporaneous textual evidence for Sherden—one of the Sea Peoples—settled in the region suggests that the model may be patterned after a galley of that culture. Bearing a typical Helladic bird-head decoration topping the stempost, with holes along the sheer strakes confirming the use of stanchions, the model was found with four wheels and other evidence for a wagon-like support structure, connecting it with European cultic prototypes.

The online resources that accompany the book illustrate Wachsmann’s research and analysis. They include 3D interactive models that allow readers to examine the Gurob model on their computers as if held in the hand, both in its present state and in two hypothetical reconstructions. The online component also contains high-resolution color photos of the model, maps and satellite photos of the site, and other related materials. Offering a wide range of insights and evidence for linkages among ancient Mediterranean peoples and traditions, The Gurob Ship-Cart Model and Its Mediterranean Context presents an invaluable asset for anyone interested in the complexities of cultural change in the eastern Mediterranean at the end of the Bronze Age and the beginning of the Iron Age.

Sectarian Law in the Dead Sea Scrolls: Courts, Testimony and the Penal Code

Sectarian Law in the Dead Sea Scrolls cover
This volume examines the sectarian legal system, specifically its courts, court pro­cedure, rules of testimony and the Penal Code. Schiffman argues that the legal system portrayed in the scrolls coheres organically with the community’s theological outlook and idealized vision of itself. His argument thus challenges attempts to see the scrolls as having been produced by multiple groups, randomly collected and preserved.
