The Münzkabinett Winterthur is the most recent institution to join the Nomisma.org consortium, through their collaboration with the NUMiD framework of German numismatic databases spearheaded by the MK Berlin.
One
of the largest collections in Switzerland, it is just getting underway
in its digitization program, with about 250 coins cataloged and
photographed in its online database. Of these, 20 have been linked to
existing Nomisma-affiliated Linked Open Data projects, such as Online Coins of the Roman Empire, Hellenistic Royal Coinages, and Inventory of Greek Coin Hoards.
Winterthur coins in IGCH 1419, found in Cappadocia.
We expect that more of Winterthur's coins will be integrated into these research portals as cataloging continues over the years.
Furthermore, Winterthur will be one of the major contributors to OSCAR,
the type corpus of Swiss coinage from all periods. Specimens will be
integrated into OSCAR from several collections in the coming months.

The Ancient World Mapping Center, in collaboration with the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University,
seeks Expressions of Interest from freelance and contract web
developers interested in a small project to replace an online viewer for
the so-called “Peutinger Map” of the Roman World. The current
HTML+JavaScript web application has been in production on the Web since 2011,
providing a seamless “pan and zoom” interface to a raster image of the
map, with switchable SVG layers highlighting thematic features. Raster
tile services were implemented in the application using the free and
open-source Djatoka server application, which is now defunct.
We seek a developer or small team to replace the application with a
new software stack that makes as much use as possible of off-the-shelf,
free and open-source code as possible, and that leverages applicable
widely-used standards like the International Image Interoperability
Framework (IIIF).
Interested parties should email ISAW’s Tom Elliott (tom.elliott@nyu.edu)
— not later than 6pm US Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, September
15, 2021 — in order to indicate their interest in learning more about
the scope of the project and its technical aspects. Elliott
will organize a prospective vendor teleconference or other forum for
questions during the month of October, after which AWMC will solicit
proposals for completion of the work. Meantime, the code has been posted to GitHub for review by interested parties.
This call supersedes that made on September 21, 2020.
The
Committee’s purpose is to encourage and support all activities that
promote the study of Classics, and of Latin and Greek in particular, in-
and outside of the schools. Its principal role is to increase
awareness, at each educational level, of our Classics community by
offering (1) funding opportunities for promotional activities in the
schools, (2) help for Latin/Greek/Classics programs in crisis, and (3)
an ongoing conversation (e.g., via CPLG panels and workshops at the
annual meeting) about how the study of Latin can be promoted best in the
field of education.
The chair of the Committee for the Promotion of Latin and Greek, can be reached at cplg@camws.org.

Print RRP: £80.00. 741 2021 Arabia Orientalis: Studien zur Archäologie Ostarabiens 2. Available both in print and Open Access. Printed ISBN 9781789699494. Epublication ISBN 9781789699500. The
Early Bronze Age in third-millennium-BC Eastern Arabia was a period of
fundamental change, which is apparent in the development of social
complexity, the exploitation of new resources and the emergence of new
modes of life. Hallmarks of this period include monumental structures,
so-called towers, and stone-built circular tombs.
The second volume of the series Arabia Orientalis is dedicated to the
archaeological investigation of the Early Bronze Age necropolises of the
UNESCO world heritage sites Bat and Al-Ayn in the Sultanate of Oman, as
well as the monumental tower structure Building II at Bat. It
encompasses detailed reports on the architecture and stratigraphy, as
well as the find assemblages from the excavated buildings, including
pottery and small finds, along with anthropological as well as
anthracological studies. The publication presents insights into changing
burial customs, as well as the function of the monumental tower
structures. Three out of the four excavated Hafit- and Umm an-Nar-period
tombs in the necropolises featured evidence for reuse at later times,
especially during the Samad period, where new inhumations were placed
into the Bronze Age tombs. The early Umm an-Nar tower Building II is
surrounded by a large ditch system that might have served as protection
against flooding from the nearby wadi.

German Description
Die frühe Bronzezeit im dritten Jahrtausend v. Chr. in Südostarabien ist
eine Zeit grundlegender Veränderungen, die sich in der Entwicklung
sozialer Komplexität, der Ausbeutung neuer Ressourcen und dem Aufkommen
neuer Lebensformen zeigt. Kennzeichen dieser Epoche sind monumentale
Bauwerke, sogenannte Türme, und aus Stein gebaute runde Gräber.
Der zweite Band der Reihe Arabia Orientalis widmet sich der
archäologischen Untersuchung der frühbronzezeitlichen Nekropolen der
UNESCO-Welterbestätten Bat und Al-Ayn im Sultanat Oman sowie dem
monumentalen Turm Gebäude II in Bat. Er umfasst ausführliche
Abhandlungen zur Architektur und Stratigraphie sowie zu den
Fundeassemblagen aus den ausgegrabenen Bauwerken, darunter Keramik-,
Kleinfunde-, anthropologische sowie anthrakologische Untersuchungen. Die
Publikation präsentiert Einblicke in sich verändernde Bestattungssitten
und die Funktion des monumentalen Turms. Drei der vier ausgegrabenen
Hafit- und Umm an-Nar-zeitlichen Gräber in den Nekropolen belegen
spätere Nachnutzungen, vor allem in der Samad-Zeit, in der neue
Bestattungen in die bronzezeitlichen Gräber eingebracht wurden. Das
Gebäude II aus der frühen Umm an-Nar-Zeit ist von einer großen
Grabenanlage umgeben, die möglicherweise als Schutz vor Überschwemmungen
des nahen Wadis diente.
Stephanie Döpper ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der
Goethe-Universität Frankfurt und beschäftigt sich mit mobilen und
sesshaften Gesellschaften der Bronzezeit in Südostarabien sowie der
Nachnutzung prähistorischer Gräber und frühneuzeitlicher
Lehmziegeldörfer in dieser Region. Um der Öffentlichkeit den Zugang zu
archäologischen Stätten zu erleichtern, hat sie die ArchaeoTrail-App für
selbstgeführte Smartphone-Touren an archäologischen Stätten
mitentwickelt.

Studies in the Language of Targum Canticles, with Annotated Transcription of Geniza Fragments.
Doctoral thesis (Ph.D), UCL (University College London).
While the
language of Targum Canticles—a species of Late Jewish Literary
Aramaic—has attracted previous study, many of its peculiarities have
been overlooked, or accorded but cursory treatment. The present work
investigates a range of morphological, syntactic, and semantic anomalies
that punctuate the text. These impinge on various domains, including
predicate argument marking, verbal stems, the nominal dimensions of
state and gender, and particle usage. Attending to these phenomena, with
descriptive sensitivity and comparative perspective, yields insight
into literary influences, the process of composition, and the
conceptions of Aramaic—both grammatical and aesthetic—of the Jewish
literati who adopted this dialectally eclectic idiom. This study also
probes the still under-researched nexus between Late Jewish Literary
Aramaic and the Aramaic of Zoharic literature. It concludes with an
annotated transcription of the fragments of Targum Canticles from the
Cairo Geniza: Cambridge, T-S B11.81, T-S NS 312—which are among the
earliest, known, extant witnesses to the text—and Oxford Heb. f. 56,
whose colophon bears the date 1416 CE. The latter features a
Judaeo-Arabic translation of the Targum—possibly the earliest known
example—which is included in the transcription. The alignments of the
readings of these fragments with other witnesses are highlighted,
accompanied by ad hoc textual and exegetical commentary.

Die
vorliegende Beschreibung semantischer und pragmatischer Aspekte des
Interpretierens und Übersetzens basiert auf einer
zweisprachig-kontrastiven Präsentation zahlreicher Textbeispiele. So
wird der Leser ohne Umwege mit dem Problem der Abweichungen und
Übereinstimmungen zwischen Ausgangs- und Zielsprache konfrontiert und
darin geübt, die sich daraus ergebenden Schwierigkeiten bei der
Auseinandersetzung mit lateinischen Texten zu meistern. Die sprachlichen
Äußerungen, die wir heute als Schreibakte durch historische
Kommunikation zu verstehen versuchen, waren in ihrer ursprünglichen
Kommunikationssituation Sprechakte und sind als solche vom heutigen
Leser zu rekonstruieren. Dazu bietet die vorliegende Textgrammatik
Anregungen und Anleitungen.

Straßen spielten eine Schlüsselrolle
bei der Gestaltung des antiken wirtschaftlichen Stadtbildes.
Normalerweise betrachten wir Straßen lediglich als Durchgangswege für
den Verkehr, aber diese Idee entspricht nicht den Tatsachen, wie sie von
antiken Autoren wie Martial oder Juvenal beleuchtet wurden. Der
"Straßenraum" wurde in drei Dimensionen angelegt und war ein wichtiger
Ort für die sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Interaktionen, die das
städtische Sozialleben in der Antike ausmachten. Eine solche Funktion
zeigt sich deutlich in der Architektur der Straße, die durch zahlreiche
tabernae, die in Atriumhäusern, Ladenzeilen oder mehrstöckigen Gebäuden
errichtet wurden, und durch die Aktivitäten, die sich dort abspielten.
Mit anderen Worten, die Wirtschaft der antiken Städte beschränkte sich
nicht auf bestimmte Gebäude wie etwa die macella. Im Gegenteil, die
wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten erstreckten sich über die Mauern solcher
Gebäude hinaus und drangen entlang der Straßen in das gesamte
Stadtgefüge ein. Die Beiträge des Panels "Antike Straßen und städtische
Wirtschaft" wollen ein neues Licht auf die Rolle des Straßenraums in der
städtischen Wirtschaft der antiken Gesellschaften werfen, zeitlich
fokussiert auf den Zeitraum zwischen dem 2. Jahrhundert v. Chr. und dem
3. Jh. n. Chr. Um unser Verständnis zu vertiefen, unter suchen die
verschiedenen Autoren einige Fallstudien z.B. aus Alba Fucens, Athen,
Lugdunum, Norba, Ostia und Pompeji.

LANX è il quadrimestrale elettronico open access della Scuola di Specializzazione in Archeologia dell’Università degli Studi di Milano. La rivista raccoglie i contributi di studenti e docenti della Scuola e di studiosi che vi hanno collaborato, insieme ai risultati di ricerche e scavi a essa collegati.LANX nasce dall’idea e con l’obiettivo di condividere e divulgare i risultati dell’intensa attività di studio e ricerca condotta dalla Scuola, che accanto alla didattica consueta prevede un fitto programma annuale di seminari, giornate di studio, convegni, con la frequente partecipazione di studiosi esterni. A tutto ciò si aggiungono i viaggi di studio nelle mete più rilevanti per gli ambiti disciplinari caratterizzanti la Scuola, e le campagne di scavo dirette dai Docenti della Scuola in numerosi siti italiani e stranieri.Si apre così l’opportunità tanto per gli affermati quanto per i più giovani studiosi vicini alla Scuola di far conoscere il proprio lavoro grazie alle potenzialità offerte dalle nuove tecnologie, di cui il formato elettronico di questa rivista è realizzazione concreta. Il Comitato Scientifico della rivista è composto dai Docenti della Scuola di Specializzazione in Archeologia dell’Università degli Studi di Milano, i quali approvano preliminarmente il contenuto scientifico dei contributi editi. Il singolo Docente si fa inoltre garante, presentandoli anche a proprio nome, degli interventi esterni.
The Journal of Textual Reasoning is
the main publishing expression of the Society of Textual Reasoning,
which sponsors an electronic list-serve
[textualreasoning@list.mail.virginia.edu] and meetings at professional
academic conferences. The Journal will publish essays in the exegetical
analyses of Jewish texts and the practice of textual reasoning as well
as statements in the on-going development of the theory of Textual
Reasoning. The Journal will generally follow a particular theme in each
issue and include reviews of books relevant to Textual Reasoning. In the
traditions of rabbinic thought and dialogical philosophy, we aim to
present individual articles along with commentaries to them. To
subscribe or to check on your options, write to
textualreasoning-request@list.mail.virginia.edu.
Old Series The Journal of Textual Reasoning evolved from
“The Postmodern Jewish Philosophy Bitnetwork,” a collaborative project
begun in 1991. An archive of these correspondences and early iterations
of the journal may be found here. The year 2002 marked the official transition to the Journal of Textual Reasoning, whose publications are listed above.
Shabtis are statuettes in human form or mummy form, generally
measuring between 10 and 25 cm. The term shabti is used for statuettes
made before 970 BC, while ushebti or ushabti refers to statuettes made
in a later period. The literature generally refers to ‘shabtis’. Their
task was to relieve their owner of any form of labour, such as farming
in the Hereafter
For a dazzling two-thousand years, prosperous Egyptians took shabtis
with them in their tombs. Firstly, as possible replacement for the
mummies in case they should decay or perish, and secondly as servants or
slaves to serve them in the afterlife
After Napoleon’s expedition at the beginning of the 19th century,
Egypt became popular among archaeologists, scientists, art dealers and
tourists. As a result of this, many archaeological objects such as
shabtis can be found in museums, at art dealers or in private
collections
Notes to information on this site
This is a non-commercial site about the old-Egyptian statuettes known
as shabtis, ushabtis or ushebtis. The translation feature in the menu,
will translate the majority of the content into a number of different
languages. Please be aware that this is a machine translation. The base
language of the site is English
For datings and descriptions I am indebted to the unequalled oeuvres
of Petrie, Aubert & Aubert, Schneider, Janes, Schlögl and many
others. In a number of cases my findings on this site may differ due to
recent research, new discoveries or my own interpretation
When visiting this website please allow for a considerable margin of
error regarding the dating of pieces that are not related to royal
persons. Please also bear in mind that shabtis were often created while
their owners were still alive, and not necessarily after they had passed
away
Photos marked with ‘Photo: VB’ as well as the written information on
this site are freely available for non-commercial use. In order to
present a good overview, I have also made use of photos available on the
Internet or in other publications. Where possible, I have tried to
mention the most likely source or photographer. However, if publication
here is undesired or incorrect, please let me know and I will endeavour
to make the necessary changes
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.
