Book Assyria to Iberia at the Dawn of the Classical Age

Download or read book Assyria to Iberia at the Dawn of the Classical Age written by Joan Aruz and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together the research of internationally renowned scholars, Assyria to Iberia at the Dawn of the Classical Age contributes significantly to our understanding of the epoch-making artistic and cultural exchanges that took place across the Near East and Mediterranean in the early first millennium B.C. This was the world of Odysseus, in which seafaring Phoenician merchants charted new nautical trade routes and established prosperous trading posts and colonies on the shores of three continents; of kings Midas and Croesus, legendary for their wealth; and of the Hebrew Bible, whose stories are brought vividly to life by archaeological discoveries. Objects drawn from collections in the Middle East, Europe, North Africa, and the United States, reproduced here in sumptuous detail, reflect the cultural encounters of diverse populations interacting through trade, travel, and migration as well as war and displacement. Together, they tell a compelling story of the origins and development of Western artistic traditions that trace their roots to the ancient Near East and across the Mediterranean world. Among the masterpieces brought together in this volume are stone reliefs that adorned the majestic palaces of ancient Assyria; expertly crafted Phonecian and Syrian bronzes and worked ivories that were stored in the treasuries of Assyria and deposited in tombs and sanctuaries in regions far to the west; and lavish personal adornments and other luxury goods, some imported and others inspired by Near Eastern craftsmanship. Accompanying texts by leading scholars position each object in cultural and historical context, weaving a narrative of crisis and conquest, worship and warfare, and epic and empire that spans both continents and millennia. Writing another chapter in the story begun in Art of the First Cities (2003) and Beyond Babylon (2008), Assyria to Iberia offers a comprehensive overview of art, diplomacy, and cultural exchange in an age of imperial and mercantile expansion in the ancient Near East and across the Mediterranean in the first millennium B.C.—the dawn of the Classical age.

Book Barter  Money and Coinage in the Ancient Mediterranean

Download or read book Barter Money and Coinage in the Ancient Mediterranean written by Ma. Paz García-Bellido and published by Editorial CSIC - CSIC Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La acuñación de moneda es, junto con la escritura, uno de los grandes inventos de la historia de la humanidad. La escritura ha sido esencial en la transmisión de ideas y conocimientos a través del tiempo y el dinero ha jugado un papel muy importante en la fermentación de la evolución política y social de los grupos humanos. Muy pocas cosas han condicionado la economía de manera más directa que la moneda , con sus efectos concomitantes sobre las ideologías políticas de nuestro universo.. Hemos confirmado que nunca la invención del dinero supuso una evolución lineal de proto-monetaria a la economía monetaria y también que no se llevó a cabo al mismo ritmo en los diferentes espacios culturales del Mediterráneo. Esta es una de las conclusiones más importantes de nuestra conferencia. Desde la invención de la moneda en Lidia, al final del siglo 7 aC, a la monetización de los hispanos del norte-oeste, o del interior de la Galia y Germania en la época de Augusto, 600 años que abarca toda una cadena de acontecimientos históricos importantes tuvo que pasar a la monetización de ser aceptados en las economías sociales, culturales y políticas, ya que el uso del dinero, tal vez no en su origen, pero definitivamente después, ayudó a los polis en sus intentos de equilibrar el equilibrio social. De hecho, 200 años después que se inventara el dinero, Aristóteles seguía filosofando sobre esto, y escribió sobre las relaciones de intercambio entre las comunidades el derecho a la reciprocidad que mantiene la sociedad civil, sobre la base de la proporción y no en la igualdad ... es el objeto que marca una justicia equitativa y que se da expresamente la no misma palabra, que significa "lo que se debe", "lo que es proporcional", "la medida correcta".

Download or read book Physics of the Stoics written by Samuel Sambursky and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stoic physics, based entirely on the continuum concept, is one of the great original contributions in the history of physical systems. Building on The Physical World of the Greeks, the author describes the main aspects of the Stoic continuum theory, traces its origins back to pre-Stoic science and philosophy, and shows the attempts of the Stoics to work out a coherent system of thought that would explain the essential phenomena of the physical world by a few basic assumptions. Originally published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Book Understanding Relations Between Scripts

Download or read book Understanding Relations Between Scripts written by Philippa Steele and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2017-08-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Relations Between Scripts examines the writing systems of the ancient Aegean and Cyprus in the second and first millennia BC, principally Cretan ‘Hieroglyphic’, Linear A, Linear B, Cypro-Minoan and the Cypriot Syllabary. These scripts, of which some are deciphered and others are not, are known to be related to each other. However, the details of their relationships with each other have remained poorly understood and this will be the first volume dedicated solely to this issue. Nine papers aim to reach a better appreciation of relationships between writing systems than has been possible in previous research, through an interdisciplinary dialogue that takes account of both features of the writing systems and the contextual factors affecting the way in which writing was passed on. Each individual contribution furthers this aim by presenting the latest research on the Aegean scripts, demonstrating the great advances in our understanding of script relations that are possible through such detailed and innovative studies.
