Download or read book Balance Weights in the Aegean World written by Oğuz Tekin and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Historically, balance weights are as old as the balances themselves. Actually, balance and weight examples of Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Hittite civilisations are known from wall paintings, reliefs, papyri and collections. However, the scope of this book is the balance weights produced and used in the Aegean world during the Classical and Hellenistic periods. Balance weights were among the instruments of public sphere (instrumenta publica) of antiquity and they constitute an important group of antiquities worth studying for their unit marks, symbols, depictions, inscriptions and ornaments. However, balance weights have been among the most neglected artefacts within archaeological research. Certainly, this work at handbook level should not be expected to fill the gap entirely, but rather call attention to this field. The examples were chosen from the city-states in the Aegean world and cover only those which bear ethnic or symbol (parasemon)."--

Most of the examples from the Hellenistic and Roman Imperial periods are square or rectangular plain lead weights.

Byzantine weights in the collection vary from two-uncia to one-nomisma. Most of the Islamic weights are the dirhams from the Ottoman period but there are also a few dirhams from the pre-Ottoman period. Islamic weights are mostly decorated with bird's eye motif.

Download or read book Corpus Ponderum Antiquorum Et Islamicorum written by Oğuz Tekin and published by Ege Yayinlari. This book was released on 2013 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of the CPAI Project presents the weights kept in the Department of Metal Objects of Istanbul Archaeological Museums covering a time span from the fourth century BC through the end of the Ottoman Empire. Of the 455 weights presented in the catalogue some were purchased or confiscated while some others were registered as excavation finds: 111 of the weights belong to the period of fourth century BC through the end of the Roman Empire; 196 date to the Byzantine period while 148 belong to the Seljuk and Ottoman periods. Among the examples of the Classical period only few are dated to the fourth century but most to the Hellenistic period and weights from Athens, Lysimachea, Byzantium, Cyzicus, Cyme and Miletus are the most interesting ones. Weights of double-truncated spheroid shape from the Roman Imperial period are quite numerous in the catalogue. Byzantine weights are presented under two headings as "coin weights" (nomisma and multiples) and "commercial weights" (litra, uncia). Islamic weights in the catalogue vary from 400-dirham to 1-dirham and have a variety of forms.

Download or read book The Pied Piper of Tucson written by Don Moser and published by Signet Book. This book was released on 1967 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was Life and Time magazines that turned a local story from Tucson, Arizona, into a national abomination. Reporters came from all over, to be sure, but on March 4, 1966, Life printed an ominous photo of the desert landscape where three girls had disappeared and the story of Charles Howard Schmid, Jr., or "Smitty," became international news. He had been arrested four months earlier on November 11, just after marrying a fifteen-year-old girl whom he'd met on a blind date. The article was published even before the juries in two separate trials had decided his fate. Dubbed "The Pied Piper of Tucson," for his ability to get girls to fall for him, he stood five feet, four inches tall, but added three more inches by padding his stack-heeled cowboy boots with rags and tin cans. He also dyed his reddish-brown hair black, used pancake make-up, whitened his lips, and applied a fake mole to his left cheek-a "beauty" mark. Arrogant and narcissistic, he came from a wealthy family, so he used the niceties he could buy to impress young high school girls. He adopted the droopy-eyed look associated with Elvis, his idol, and acquired a rock musician's mystique. His tiny house on his parents' property was the scene of many parties. Tucson society was not merely shaken by the murders of three of their young women but by what the details of those murders revealed about its adolescent population-sex clubs, drinking parties, blackmail, cover-ups for murder, and even connections with the crime underworld. Parents suddenly became more strict, more aware now that their kids weren't safe and maybe weren't even behaving properly. When kids looked to someone like Charles Schmid for answers, there was something terribly wrong.
Download or read book The Invention of Heterosexual Culture written by Louis-Georges Tin and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of heterosexual culture and the resistance it met from feudal lords, church fathers, and the medical profession. Heterosexuality is celebrated—in film and television, in pop songs and opera, in literature and on greeting cards—and at the same time taken for granted. It is the cultural and sexual norm by default. And yet, as Louis-Georges Tin shows in The Invention of Heterosexual Culture, in premodern Europe heterosexuality was perceived as an alternative culture. The practice of heterosexuality may have been standard, but the symbolic primacy of the heterosexual couple was not. Tin maps the emergence of heterosexual culture in Western Europe and the significant resistance to it from feudal lords, church fathers, and the medical profession. Tin writes that before the phenomenon of "courtly love" in the early twelfth century, the man-woman pairing had not been deemed a subject worthy of more than passing interest. As heterosexuality became a recurrent theme in art and literature, the nobility came to view it as a disruption of the feudal chivalric ethos of virility and male bonding. If feudal lords objected to the "hetero" in heterosexuality and what they saw as the associated dangers of weakness and effeminacy, the church took issue with the “sexuality,” which threatened the Christian ethos of renunciation and divine love. Finally, the medical profession cast heterosexuality as pathology, warning of an epidemic of “lovesickness.” Noting that the discourse of heterosexuality does not belong to heterosexuals alone, Tin offers a groundbreaking history that reasserts the cultural identity of heterosexuality.
