I contributi raccolti in questo volume esplorano l’impatto delle
Intelligenze Artificiali sull’insegnamento delle lingue e della storia
antiche, con approccio critico e operativo insieme. La Parte Prima
introduce le basi teoriche dell’IA e ne analizza potenzialità educative,
limiti, rischi: sul piano generale, ponendo le basi per un uso
didatticamente consapevole (S.V. Cuffari), e in relazione ai rischi per
la traduzione di testi classici, elemento importante della didattica del
mondo antico nella scuola italiana (G. Mosconi). La Parte Seconda
propone esempi di utilizzo dell’IA nella didattica dell’antico: i chatbot
per l’apprendimento personalizzato della storia antica (S.V. Cuffari);
l’IA come strumento per guidare gli studenti nell’analisi contrastiva di
traduzioni da testi classici (G. Cianfrocca); l’uso dell’IA per lo
studio della storia controfattuale, palestra per ragionare sulla
causalità storica (C. Caserta). Emerge una riflessione condivisa: l’IA
non sostituisce il docente (non deve farlo), ma, se utilizzata in modo
intelligente, ne può amplificare il ruolo di guida critica e
facilitatore cognitivo.
Mersa/Wadi Gawasis è il porto del Medio Regno (ca. 2055-1650 a.Cr.) da
cui partivano le navigazioni egiziane verso la terra di Punt. Il sito è
localizzato sulla costa egiziana del Mar Rosso tra Safaga e Qosseir. Dal
2001, il sito è stato indagato da una Missione archeologica
italo-americana dell’Università “L’Orientale” e della Boston University,
diretta da Kathryn A. Bard e Rodolfo Fattovich. Il libro è la
pubblicazione dei risultati delle campagne condotte dalla Missione tra
2001 e 2005 e comprende la descrizione degli scavi archeologici che
hanno fornito nuovi dati sulla storia e l’organizzazione del porto.
Inoltre, i materiali archeologici e bioarcheologici rinvenuti nel corso
di tali indagini sono descritti e discussi. Tra questi si segnalano
stele, ostraca, iscrizioni su legno e papiro, cretule, ceramica locale e
importata, materiale litico, reperti connessi alla navigazione, resti
macrobotanici e malacologici. Tali materiali forniscono dati cruciali
sulle attività egiziane nella regione del Mar Rosso.

Il volume è dedicato allo studio delle monete rinvenute a Ghazni nel
corso degli scavi condotti dalla Missione Archeologica Italiana in
Afghanistan tra il 1956 e il 1978, nelle aree del sito buddhista di Tapa
Sardar e nei contesti islamici. Si tratta di un corpus inedito di
monete da scavo che, purtroppo, sono andati perduti. Tuttavia, grazie
alla conservazione della documentazione d’archivio e, soprattutto, dei
preziosi calchi in gesso del materiale numismatico, è stato possibile
riprendere e approfondire lo studio in anni recenti.
Le circa 227 monete, raccolte e descritte in un catalogo, coprono un
ampio arco cronologico e testimoniano la lunga storia dell’area di
Ghazni—attiva sin dall’antichità fino al periodo
contemporaneo—contribuendo ampliare la conoscenza della storia economica
e politica della regione. Gli esemplari sono presentati in due sezioni:
la prima dedicata alle monete databili tra il II e l’VIII secolo, la
seconda a quelle comprese tra il IX e il XX secolo. Ciascuna sezione è
accompagnata da una dettagliata analisi numismatica ed è arricchita da
aggiornati contributi archeologici sui siti di Tapa Sardar, il Palazzo
Ghaznavide e la Casa dei Lustri.
Il volume presenta una selezione di contributi tratti dalla Conferenza
Internazionale Ancient Egypt – New Technology, giunta alla sua seconda
edizione e ospitata dal Dipartimento di Asia, Africa e Mediterraneo
dell’Università di Napoli “L’Orientale” (5–7 luglio 2023). Il volume
mette in luce la crescente integrazione delle tecnologie digitali
nell’ambito dell’Egittologia. Metodi quali laser scanning,
fotogrammetria, modellazione 3D e tecniche di imaging non invasivo hanno
significativamente migliorato la documentazione, l’analisi e la
conservazione dei dati archeologici e dei manufatti.I contributi
riflettono la natura interdisciplinare di questo campo, riunendo
studiosi di Egittologia, archeologia, antropologia, conservazione e
digital heritage. Accanto agli approcci più innovativi, il volume prende
in considerazione anche tecniche diagnostiche consolidate, come i raggi
X e tomografie, quali strumenti essenziali per la ricerca.In fine, il
volume sottolinea l’importanza della collaborazione tra discipline
umanistiche e tecnologiche, offrendo una panoramica delle metodologie
attuali e delle prospettive future nello studio e nella valorizzazione del patrimonio dell’Antico Egitto.
This
book argues that women served as leaders in a number of synagogues
during the Roman and Byzantine periods. The evidence for this consists
of nineteen Greek and Latin inscriptions in which women bear the titles
"head of the synagogue," "leader," "elder," "mother of the synagogue"
and "priestess." These inscriptions range in date from 27 B.C.E. to
perhaps the sixth century C.E. and in provenance from Italy to Asia
Minor, Egypt and Palestine. While new discoveries make this a growing
corpus of material, a number of the inscriptions have been known to
scholars for some time. The book contains a new preface by the author.
In Women Leaders in the Ancient Synagogue,
I argued against a then-prevailing view. On the basis of nineteen
inscriptions, I challenged certain ideas about women whose relatives
honored them with such titles as head of the synagogue, leader, elder,
mother of the synagogue, and woman of priestly class/priestess or who
claimed those titles for themselves, such as in donative inscriptions.¹
According to the consensus at that time, these titles did not imply that
Coelia Paterna, Gaudentia, Rufina and the other women referenced in the
inscriptions carried out any functions at all. Scholars claimed that
they bore these titles because their...

In
three Greek inscriptions women bear the title
archisynagōgos/archisynagōgisss. The fornation is a rather curious one.
whereas, for example, archirerus, archigrammateus archikybernētēs
consist of archi- plus the nane of the office,
archisynagōgos/archisunagōgissa comes from a archi- plus an element
formed from the institution orer which the officer stands in this case
synagōgē. Architriklinos (from .triclinium—a dining room, with three
couches), meaning a “head waiter,” would be a parallel Although
the-title siso occurs occasionally in paganism, it is most often Jewish
and it is a probabit that the pagan a examples represent a borrowing
from Judaism, rather than vice versa....
One
of the more recent additions to our knowledge of women leaders in
ancient Judaism is the Peristeria inscription, first published in 1937,
from the area of Thebes in Phthiotis in Thessaly.
CII 696b.¹ A
kioniskos (also called columella: a small column, flat on top and
without a capital, used as a gravestone²) with the symbol of the seven~
branched menorah,
G. Scjtirou f who discovered the inscription,
took peristeria a to be a common noun (cf peristeria “pigeon,” “dove”),
and Archegisis to be the name of the deceased. Louis Mobert suggested
the interpretation fiven above, on the basis that...
Six
ancient Greek inscriptions have been found in which women bear the
title “elder” (preabytera/presbyterēsa = presbyterissa). In addition to
these, there exists-one Greek inscription in which a woman la called
PRESEBYTNS (sic), most likely presbytis.

occurs, and one Latin inscription in which a woman bears the unusual
title .. pateressa. All six of the inscriptions are from Italy, three
being from Rome two from Venosa in Apulia and one from Venetia in
Brescia. They range in date from around the second century C. E. until
perhaps as late as the sixth century.

There-exist
three ancient Jewish inscriptions in which a woman bears the title
hiereia/hierissa. They range in age from the first century B.C.E.
through possibly the fourth century C.E. and were found in fell
el-Yahudiyyeh in Lower Egypt, in Beth She’arim in Galilee, and in Rome.
C.
C. Edgar, who first published the inscription, in 1922, thought that
IERISA was “the name of Marion’s father; whether it is an indeclinable
noun or whether this is a genitive in -a I do not know.”¹ Edgar thus
thought that Marion’s father’s name was Ierisas or Ierisa. This rather
strange interpretation of a not...
In
a lecture on the Galilean synagogue ruins held on December 16, 1911 in
Berlin, the great Jamaica scholar Samuel Irauss said to his audiences
Following
the. demands of politeness, Mr. Krauss did look for f and did find f
the remains of what he called the women’s gallery in the ancient
Galilean synagogues.³ The majority of modern Judaica scholars and
archaeologists follow Krauss in both, method and result, i.e., they look
for a women’s gallery and they find one.
The significance of the question of the women’s gallery for the question of women as leaders in the synagogue should...
The
lack of an adequate understanding of women’s partialpation in the life
of the ancient synagogue has hindered research on the Jewish
inscriptions in which women bear titles. Even the following, very
cursory survey of several salient points should shed light on the
context from which they arose. The basis for all other participation is
attendance at the synagogue services. Women’s attendance at synagogue
worship services is taken for granted in the ancient sources. The New
Testament gives several of the earliest attestations of this. In Luke
13: 10-17, Jesus heals a woman who had been bent over for eighteen...
The
view that the titles in question were honorific is based less on
evidence from the inscriptions themselves or from other ancient sources
than on current presuppositions concerning the nature of ancient
Judaism, Seen in the larger context of women’s participation in the life
of the ancient synagogue? there is no reason not to take the titles as
functional, nor to assume that women heads or elders of synagogues had
radically different functions than men heads or elders of synagogues, Of
the functions outlined for each title, there are none which women could
not have carried out. If women donated...
Der Band enthält die Beiträge zum XXIV. Symposion der Internationalen
Gesellschaft für griechische und hellenistische Rechtsgeschichte, das
vom 2. bis 4. September 2024 an der Universität Mailand stattfand. Er
umfasst 15 Vorträge und 14 „Antworten“, die der Untersuchung neuer
Dokumente und der Neuinterpretation bereits bekannter Texte gewidmet
sind. Das Ziel ist, wie auch bei den anderen Bänden der Symposion-Reihe,
die neuesten Forschungsergebnisse und Perspektiven im Bereich des
öffentlichen und privaten Rechts der klassischen und hellenistischen
Zeiten vorzustellen. Die bemerkenswerte thematische Vielfalt schließt
eine grundlegende Kohärenz in Bezug auf Inhalte, Methoden und Ansätze
der Beiträge nicht aus. Die zentralen Themen der 29 Beiträge sind unter
anderem: Recht, Rechtskultur und Gesellschaft, das griechische Recht in
der archaischen Zeit, Verträge und Verpflichtungen, das Recht der
kretischen Städte sowie die Institutionen der griechischen Städte in der
hellenistischen Zeit. Der Band wird durch ein analytisches Verzeichnis
der zitierten und besprochenen Quellen ergänzt.
There are a number of exciting new development so discuss at Perseus!
To begin with, a long planned move of the Scaife Viewer to the Tufts IT
infrastructure has finally occurred.
Another common request has been the addition of more reference works
found in P4 such as commentaries on individual authors (e.g. Cicero,
Sophocles, Homer), which form an integral part of the P4 reading
environment. We are happy to announce that the first steps towards both
of these requested features have been taken and are now available for
use on the Scaife Viewer. This post will give a brief overview of these
new features.
A Perseus Dictionary Widget
While individual morphological analysis (the P4 Word Study Tool)
for Greek words has been available on Scaife for some time, for the
first time a Perseus dictionary widget is now available for all Greek
and Latin texts. The interface attempts to default to the correct
dictionary for the current text (LSJ for Greek texts, Lewis & Short for Latin) but this is still a work in progress.
In order to use the dictionary, select the HIGHLIGHT option in the
TEXT MODE widget on the upper right (see Figure 1 below). Highlighting
any word will then 1) show its morphology, 2) search in the default
dictionary (LSJ in this example), and, 3) in some cases, provide a short
definition.
Figure 1: Example of morphology and dictionary results for the word τροφή in Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrranus.
The new dictionary widget is also available for all Latin texts, but in this case defaults to the Lewis and Short Dictionary.
The image below does not indicate the full length of the dictionary
entry, which can be scrolled down to view the numerous entries
(depending on the word).
Figure 2: Example of morphology and partial dictionary resultsfor the word magisin Cicero’s Pro T. Annio Milone.
The Beginning of a Commentary Integration
Although a number of Homeric texts have had commentaries from the New Alexandria Foundation
for a number of years, for the first time a limited number of Perseus
commentaries (from P4) are available in Scaife. The first collection of
commentaries that have been released are commentaries by Sir Richard
Jebb on the plays of Sophocles. Viewing the Oedipus Tyrannus once more (Figure 1 above), the Commentary widget is found beneath the Perseus Dictionaries and Short Definitions.
Figure 3: Example of a commentary now available for readingwith Sophocles Oedipus Tyrranus.
Clicking on the expansion icon in the Commentary widget panel (Figure
3 above) reveals all applicable commentary available for the selected
text section (with a scroll bar to read the full commentary as
illustrated in Figure 4 below)
Figure 4: Reading the text of Oedipus Tyrannuswith the commentary expanded.
Latin commentaries for the orations of Cicero are soon to follow!
Changes to the Interface
There have also been some changes made to the main interface to try
and make the reading environment a bit cleaner. There are a large number
of widgets available in the Scaife Viewer reading panel as well as
bibliographic information. As part of this new release, some
information has been relocated in order to present a more logical flow.
As seen in Figure 5 below, the right hand panel is now entirely
dedicated to word study and deeper reading tools including the word
highlighting feature, the morphology tool, the Perseus dictionaries,
commentaries (when available) and display settings such as text size and
width.
The left hand panel is dedicated to text navigation and information
regarding the text itself including the CTS-URN, the relevant passage,
the ability to Search the currently displayed text, Attributions for the
source file, the ability to Export the passage as text or XML, and a
link to this file in the relevant GitHub Repository.
Figure 5: The new interface for the reading environment in the Scaife Viewer.
This is just the beginning of what we hope will be a continuing
update of new texts and commentaries in Scaife. We are still working out
various issues so if you find any bugs or want to let us know what you
think, please email the Perseus webmaster or open a GitHub issue.
The AWOL Index: The bibliographic data presented herein has been programmatically extracted from the content of AWOL - The Ancient World Online (ISSN 2156-2253) and formatted in accordance with a structured data model.
AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University
AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.
The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.
The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
