This volume focuses on the use of multimodal communication strategies in ancient Egypt and Western Asia. It comprises thoroughly revised contributions from an international conference held at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich in 2021. It brings together archaeologists, Assyriologists, and Egyptologists, alongside scholars from contemporary media studies and visual linguistics.
The concept of multimodality serves as a conceptual anchor, enabling insights into the relationships between semiotic codes, sensory modalities, and cognitive processes – past and present. Such a comparative perspective requires a reflection on terminological and theoretical-methodological issues. Several contributions acknowledge the significance of social semiotics in attaining this objective, while others explore sensory experiences and cognitive processes of perception. Detailed case studies investigate a wide range of image- and text-bearing artifacts from ancient Egypt, Babylonia, and Assyria, emphasizing the deliberate interplay between their visual, verbal, auditory, and tactile aspects. The volume adds a longue durée perspective to recent advances in multimodality studies and provides a fresh and promising angle for future inquiries into ancient material cultures.

The Ancient Egyptian Heritage and Archaeology Fund is a registered 501c3, private, nonprofit organization with a mission is to support research and conservation on Egyptian history and culture. In particular, it seeks to record and publish sites and monuments at risk from agricultural and urban expansion, looting, and vandalism.
In affiliation with the American University of Cairo and working at the Invitation of the Ministry of Antiquities of Egypt, we have been working since 2017 at the site of Deir el-Ballas. As the forward capital for the Theban kings during the Hyksos expulsion, Deir el-Ballas is of great archaeological and historical importance, but the site is at extreme risk from both looting and from the uncontrolled expansion of the neighboring modern town. Our fieldwork also dovetails with a grant we received from the Shelby White and Leon Levy Program for Archaeological Publications to prepare the results of the original expedition conducted at the site in 1900-1901 by George Andrew Reisner working for the Phoebe A. Hearst Expedition of the University of California.
Roman Copies, Collecting, and Culture in the Bay of Naples and Beyond presents ten chapters in celebration of the career, contributions, influence, and person of Eugene Dwyer, Professor of Art History Emeritus at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio.
The ten commissioned essays here are written by senior scholars in the fields of ancient Italic art history, architecture and archaeology, and focus on the visual and material culture of the Bay of Naples and Italy, from their points of creation in the late Republic and early Empire to their reception in the medieval, Early Modern, and Modern worlds. The essays are united in their engagement with topics of longstanding interest to their honorand: copies of famous marble statue types in antiquity (e.g., the Old Seneca in the Louvre, archaistic Athenas) and their later restorations and interpretation; the formation of collections of antiquities, from their original sites of display to their reconstitution in Early Modern venues (especially England); nineteenth and twentieth-century visual and poetic representations of Mount Vesuvius and of Giuseppe Fiorelli’s gypsum casts of Pompeian victims; and case studies of a wide array of both well-known and previously overlooked objects, whose imagery is subject to fresh interpretation and contextualized within its wider social and cultural settings.
