Platonism and Christianity perceived each other as a threat in late antiquity. Through reflection and polemics, they each attempted to establish their own sovereignty of interpretation and to invalidate the orientation promised by the other order. In their essays, the contributors of this volume focus on the influential Platonist Porphyrios and his fight against the Christian authors Eusebios of Caesarea and Augustine of Hippo.

Emotions in Antiquity (EmAnt) 5

Sponsored by: SFB (DFG)

Political communication in the late Roman Republic was highly coloured by rhetorical repertoires featuring disparagement, shaming, and other related phenomena. One of the most prolific perpetrators of such verbal conduct - known as invective - was the orator and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC). This volume, which gathers the contributions delivered during the conference »Ciceronian Invective. Emotions, Reactions, Performance«, held at Dresden's Technische Universität in 2020, takes a fresh look at the practices reflected in and relating to Cicero's tirades. By comprehending invective not only as a mere literary genre, but also as a practice embedded in social and political contexts, the aim is to arrive at a deeper understanding of Ciceronian invective. The emotions that such use of language aroused, its historical and rhetorical configurations, and the reactions of those offended by it or on its receiving end as an audience are all considered.

Table of contents:

Section I: Emotions
Christopher Degelmann:Ex ore impurissimo euomuit: Disgust and vomiting in Cicero's invective repertoire - Judith Hack: Sexual insults in Cicero? - Ken Heuring: Emotional language in the Second Philippic

Section II: Configurations
Catherine Steel: Invective and provincial government: Cicero and his predecessors - Rainer Wierzcholowski: Cicero's rhetorical technique of apostrophe and attack: The case of Hortensius in the Verrines - Christoph Schwameis: Incidents of invective in the 'pirate chapter' of De suppliciis

Section III: Reactions
Henriette van der Blom: The alternative story: Contemporary invective responses to Cicero - Kathryn Tempest: Cicero under attack: Deception and emotions in the Trial of Plancius - Christoph Pieper:Catilina in senatu obmutuit? Ancient and medieval responses to Cicero's first Catilinarian speech

 

 

 

‘En Esur (‘Ein Asawir) I: Excavatios at a Protohistoric Site in the Coastal Plain of Israel

‘En Esur (‘Ein Asawir) I: Excavatios at a Protohistoric Site in the Coastal Plain of Israel

Eli Yannai

‘En Esur is a large, multi-level protohistoric site with a sequence of settlements from the Neolithic, Early Chalcolithic, Late Chalcolithic periods and Early Bronze Age I. It grew up in an area of copious springs and rich alluvial fields in the northern Sharon Plain. A large-scale salvage excavation in 1993, and further excavations in 1999 and 2004, revealed exceptional architectural and material-cultural finds, including rich pottery, flint and groundstone assemblages.

Tel Mor: The Moshe Dothan Excavations, 1959–1960

Tel Mor: The Moshe Dothan Excavations, 1959–1960

Tristan J. Barako 

 

This is the final report of the excavations carried out by Moshe Dothan in 1959 at Tel Mor, a small tell in the coastal plain. Finds from the Middle Bronze Age to the Hellenistic period were uncovered, and some Roman-period and later finds as well. The principal remains date to the Late Bronze Age and early Iron Age, represented by a series of large buildings on the summit of the tell. Two of these buildings appear to be forts, and as they were accompanied by significant quantities of Egyptianized pottery, they may have functioned as Egyptian garrisons in Canaan. The rich finds include Canaanite, Philistine Egyptian and Egyptianized, Cypriot and Mycenean pottery, as well as flint, metal and groundstone assemblages and glyptics.
