Der Seehandel im Römischen Reich
zeichnet sich durch eine für die vormoderne Welt bemerkenswerte
Leistungsfähigkeit aus. Von Ägypten bis nach Britannien lassen sich
Handelsverbindungen anhand von archäologischen Funden nachweisen. Die
Aktionsräume dieser Aktivitäten umfassen Mittelmeer, Schwarzes Meer und
Teile des nordöstlichen Atlantik. Wichtige Bezugsgrößen für eine
Beurteilung der römischen Handelsschifffahrt stellen Häfen, Schiffe und
Ladungsreste dar. Aufgrund der Quantität der bekannten Schiffswracks und
Häfen kann insbesondere die Archäologie zum besseren Verständnis des
Seehandels beitragen. Die Beiträge nehmen sich mit einem breiten
methodischen Spektrum verschiedener Aspekte des Themas „Seehandel“ an.
Neben Wrackfunden werden die Relevanz von Aufschriften auf Amphoren und
anderen Ladungsresten ebenso behandelt wie die Bildung von Netzwerken,
die Rekonstruktion von Schiffsrouten und die Leistungsfähigkeit antiker
Wasserfahrzeuge aufgrund von Experimenten.

It houses two commentary projects: a student commentary to Horace’s Epistles I, and a scholarly commentary to Seneca’s Naturales Quaestiones Book 3 (see the NQ introduction for acknowledgements).
In the Spring of 2019, Prof. Christopher Trinacty taught a course on Horace’s Epistles
with the goal of producing commentaries for intermediate Latin
students. These commentaries were written by Prof. Trinacty, Neil
McCalmont, and Thomas Valle-Hoag (with editing help provided by Hannah
Long). Prof. Trinacty continued to work on these commentaries with the
help of students in the Fall of 2020. The student researchers were Colin
Regan, Emma Glen, Emily Hudson, Zihua Ren, Elliott Ronna, and Charlotte
Glessner-Fischer. In the Fall of 2021, students in a Horace class were
tasked with producing the commentary to Epistle 2.1. Those
students were Emily Hudson, Kayla Elias, Yang Han, Sam Tar, Raphael
Thomas, and Elliot Diaz. We hope you enjoy them (and feel free to get in
touch with us about comments, questions, or corrections). This wouldn’t
be possible without the programming help of Bret Mulligan at Haverford
College and Aidan Kidder-Wolff.
We relied heavily on previous commentaries such as those by Cucchiarelli 2019, Mayer 1994, Wickam 1903, and Greenough 1887. For Epistle 2.1, the commentaries of Brink 1982 and Rudd 1989 were invaluable. The text is Klingner 1959 (accessed through the Packard Humanities Institute).
In the commentaries OLD refers to the Oxford Latin Dictionary and A&G refers to Allen and Greenough’s New Latin Grammar.
Reveals monstrosity to be a central conceptual challenge in every ancient Greek and Roman philosophical system
Reconstructs
the concept of monstrosity in classic thought from its earliest
beginnings, through pre-Platonic and Attic philosophy to the Hellenistic
systems and finally arriving at Neapolitanism
Covers all the major figures: from Hesiod to Augustine, through Democritus, Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus and Lucretius
Addresses questions of time, causality, necessity, finality, order, justice and anomaly
Shows the diverse aspects of reflections on monstrosity and the problems related to its interpretation
Amazons
and giants, snakes and gorgons, centaurs and gryphons: monsters
abounded in ancient culture. They raise enduring philosophical
questions: about chaos and order; about divinity and perversion; about
meaning and purpose; about the hierarchy of nature or its absence. Del
Lucchese grapples with the concept of monstrosity, showing how ancient
philosophers explored metaphysics, ontology, theology and politics to
respond to the challenge of radical otherness in nature and in thought.
Each
chapter explores the emergence of monstrosity in a set of authors and
theories. In chapter 1, monsters rise as the challenging adversaries of
the new gods of the early cosmogonies. But they can also be powerful
productive forces that support building the new order or ambiguous
characters that catalyse the unfolding of the tragic universe. In
chapter 2, the Pre-Platonic systems of Anaxagoras, Empedocle and
Democritus pave the way for the recognition of the philosophical status
of monstrosity.
This status becomes central in Attic philosophy,
first with Plato’s mythological monstrosities and then with the
construction of a hierarchical structure of the universe – taken up in
chapter 3. Chapter 4 focuses on Aristotle’s study of physical
monstrosity and its role within his metaphysical and aetiological
framework.
Chapters 5–7 deal with the extraordinarily elaborate
responses to Attic philosophy by the major Hellenistic systems:
Epicureanism, Stoicism and Scepticism. The final chapter looks at the
Middle and Neoplatonist response to Hellenism and explores the richness
of late-antiquity’s reflection on monstrosity up to its absorption and
reworking by early Christian thought.
Images
and Text in Roman Mosaics: Intermedial Communication Strategies in the
Context of Home Decor from the Third to Fifth Centuries

The combination of image and text is a central element of Roman mosaics
from the third to fifth centuries. This volume is the first to present a
comprehensive media studies analysis of the complex medial
configuration of these artworks that views both media as equal. It
reveals mosaics’ communicative strategies within their spatial contexts
but also in light of their social and cultural background.
