Αn unknown Late Byzantine fortress: The castle of Vatika in Laconia
Full text linkThe castle of Vatika in Laconia occupies a rocky cliff not far from the modern coastal town of Neapolis. The castle’s small courtyard is surrounded by buildings attached to the high external wall, including a barrel-vaulted chapel and some one or two-storey houses. A rectangular tower with a cistern is built at the highest point. A circuit wall surrounds the castle at a small distance. The castle developed in several phases. Although it was constructed as a military fort, houses were later attached to the external walls, significantly reducing the size of the inner courtyard. A small church of the single-nave, cross-in-square type has survived in ruins on the south side. The castle of Vatika should be dated to the Late Byzantine period, after the recapture of Monemvasia in 1262 and before the fall of the Despotate of the Morea to the Ottomans. The strong resemblance of its houses to those of Mystra, but also the common features it shares with numerous churches of the cape Malea peninsula that are dated to this period, justify this assumption. The addition of bastions at the circuit wall could possibly be dated to the short period of Venetian rule in the fifteenth century
Στα ίχνη των κλεμμένων ελληνικών αρχαιοτήτων απο τις κατοχικές δυνάμεις (1940-1945): η συμβολή του Σπύρου Μαρινάτου
Full text linkAfter a short introduction referring to the most significant characteristics of the late Professor Spyros Marinatos’s personality as an excavator, an academic and in general as a public persona of his times, this paper deals with his contribution to the repatriation of Greek antiquities to their homeland. The antiquities under discussion were stolen from Crete by the German occupation forces during the 2nd World War. The paper is mainly based on documents kept in the Archives of the Greek Ministry of Culture, namely The Directorate of the National Archive of Monuments. These documents include the correspondence between various public services, regarding, among other matters, the preparation of Spyros Marinatos’s trip to Austria, Italy and Germany, as well as catalogues of the stolen and repatriated antiquities. The whole undertaking, which was adventurous, highlights his persistence and devotion to duty and his country as well as his love for archaeology
Human remains from the Pigi Artemidos LBA tumulus, region of Macedonian Olympus, Pieria
Full text linkThe paper addresses the contextual analysis of human remains from the Late Bronze Age tumulus cemetery of Pigi Artemidos, sited at the southeast border of the region of Macedonian Olympus. It presents the available body of evidence from this funerary assemblage and compares it to other LBA cemeteries from the same region. Bearing in mind the limitations imposed by the small sample size and the absence of a demographic profile for adults, infectious diseases (e.g. posttraumatic osteomyelitis), skeletal trauma and markers of occupational activity show that the few individuals buried in the tumulus of Pigi Artemidos were physically active; furthermore, stress and deprivation during growth and development suggest poor environmental conditions. A differential burial treatment is inferred between adults and subadults. At this early stage of the contextual analysis of prehistoric populations from the region of Macedonian Olympus in Pieria, the inter-cemetery variations reveal locally diverse lifestyles and funerary expressions at the dawn of the LBA
Τα νέα ευρήματα πεσσών στην Αθήνα και το Ωδείο του Αγρίππα
Full text linkAt the site of Hadrian’s Library in Athens three, almost intact, pier shafts have been traced among numerous architectural blocks and identified as parts of the same architectural composition based on their material, craftsmanship and mostly on their identical form and equal dimensions. Moreover, a pier capital, also stored in the Library, can be attributed to the same structure with dimension criteria; the feature most probably crowned the piers. The new finds increase the small number of known piers in the Athenian architecture up to date. This study aims at the determination of the original synthesis, which will reveal not only its dating at the time of Augustus, but also the theatrical character of the building from which they originated. These features reduce the number of possible buildings, of which the most possible is the Odeion of Agrippa in the Ancient Agora of Athens. Τhe graphic reconstruction of these piers along the balcony of the building, which Travlos and Thompson had hypothetically restored with piers, contributes in better understanding of the Odeion's design altogether, as well as in redefining the impact of its exterior arrangement in the middle of the Agora
Τhe Lost Skin of the Library of Hadrian in Athens. "... κίονες φρυγίου λίθου ... ὀρόφῳ τε ἐπιχρύσῳ καὶ ἀλαβάστρῳ λίθῳ"
Full text linkΗ απολεσθείσα επιδερμίδα της Βιβλιοθήκης του Αδριανού στην Αθήνα. "... κίονες φρυγίου λίθου ... ὀρόφῳ τε ἐπιχρύσῳ καὶ ἀλαβάστρῳ λίθῳ"Το άρθρο παρουσιάζει σύντομη περιγραφή της αρχιτεκτονικής στη Βιβλιοθήκη του Αδριανού, ακολουθούμενη από λεπτομερή ανάλυση της κατασκευής των τοίχων, των χώρων στο ανατολικό μέρος του συγκροτήματος και των ορθομαρμαρώσεων. Η Βιβλιοθήκη του Αδριανού ήταν το μοναδικό κτήριο στην Αθήνα στο οποίο χρησιμοποιήθηκε το λαμπρό Φρύγιο μάρμαρο (γνωστό και ως Συννάδιο ή pavonazzetto). Η μελέτη 200 θραυσμάτων Φρυγίου μαρμάρου από κίονες, παραστάδες και ορθομαρμαρώσεις τοίχων επιτρέπει την επανεξέταση της αρχιτεκτονικής. Τρείς λύσεις προτείνονται σχετικά με την αρχιτεκτονική της μεγάλης αίθουσας με τις κόγχες, γνωστής συμβατικά ως το Βιβλιοστάσιο. Η ερμηνεία της χρήσης είτε ως βιβλιοστάσιο είτε ως αίθουσα αυτοκρατορικής λατρείας/ σηκός του Αδριανού κατά τον Δίωνα συνδυάζεται με τα νέα στοιχεία.The paper presents a brief description of the architecture of the Library of Hadrian in Athens, followed by a detailed analysis of the construction of the walls, the rooms in the east of the compound and the revetments. The Library of Hadrian was the only building in Athens that employed prestigious Phrygian marble (Synnadian or pavonazzetto). The study of 200 fragments of Phrygian marble from columns, pilasters and wall revetments allows for a reconsideration of the architecture. Three solutions are proposed with regards the architecture of the large, aedicular eastern hall, termed the Bibliostasio. Intrepretation of its function –whether a book keeping hall or a Κaisersaal /Dio’s sekos to Hadrian- is combined with the architectural features and the new data
Vol. 3 (2020). O. Kakavoyianni and N. Petrochilos, From the ancient cemeteries of Anavyssos
Full text linkΣτον Άτλαντα των Αθηνών των Ernst Curtius και Johann Kaupert υποδηλώνεται ότι κατά τα τέλη του 19ου αιώνα στην παράλια πεδιάδα που εκτείνεται από τις βόρειες απολήξεις του όρους Όλυμπος έως την Λαυρεωτική ήταν ορατοί πολλοί ταφικοί τύμβοι. Σε αυτήν την ευρεία περιοχή, σε οικόπεδα στα δυτικά της Λεωφόρου Λαυρίου-Αναβύσσου, η τότε Επιμελήτρια αρχαιοτήτων Όλγα Κακαβογιάννη πραγματοποίησε εκτεταμένες σωστικές ανασκαφικές έρευνες μεταξύ των ετών 1983 και 1990. Σε αυτό το πλαίσιο ερευνήθηκαν τμήματα ταφικών τύμβων, οι οποίοι θα ανήκαν σε διακεκριμένα τοπικά γένη και χρησιμοποιήθηκαν από τα τέλη του 8ου μέχρι και τον 5ο αι. π.Χ.Στην παρούσα μελέτη παρουσιάζονται οι δύο τύμβοι (Τύμβος Α και Τύμβος Β), οι οποίοι εντοπίζονται στα διοικητικά όρια του δήμου των Αναφλυστίων. Περαιτέρω, παρουσιάζεται το ελάχιστο υλικό από τις έρευνες του Ευθύμιου Μαστροκώστα στον Τύμβο του Κροίσου, κατά το 1972, καθώς και το αντίστοιχο από μικρής έκτασης έρευνα στο παρακείμενο νεκροταφείο του δήμου των Αιγιλιέων, το οποίο με σαφήνεια διακρίνεται από τον τύμβο του Κροίσου. Εξετάζονται, επίσης, τα ταφικά κτερίσματα και οι ταφικές πρακτικές, καθώς και θέματα σχετικά με την τοπογραφία των δήμων της παραλίας, από τις Λαμπτρές, μέχρι το Σούνιο.ISBN 978-960-466-222-7 (έντυπη), 978-960-466-221-0 (ψηφιακή)In Ernst Curtius’ and Johann Kaupert’s Atlas von Athen it is indicated that around the end of 19th century, in the coastal plain stretching westwards from the northern mountainous endings of Mount Olympus up to Lavreotike towards the east, many burial tumuli were visible. The curator of antiquities Olga Kakavoyianni carried out intensive rescue research between the years 1983 and 1990 in this extended area. Within this context parts of tumuli (burial mounds) that probably belonged to prominent local families and were employed from the late 8th to the 5th c. B.C. were excavated.The purpose of this study is to present the excavation results from the tumuli (Tumulus A and Tumulus B), both located within the administrational borders of the Anaphlystos’ deme. Furthermore, the limited in terms of quantity material from Euthymios Mastrokostas’ excavation at Croesus’ tomb is also presented, along with the results from a short excavation campaign in the cemetery of the Aigilia’s deme, which is clearly distinguished from the burial mound of Croesus. Moreover, the grave offerings and the burial practices are discussed, along with issues concerning the topography of the coastal demes from Lamptrai to Sounion.ISBN: 978-960-466-222-7 (print), 978-960-466-221-0 (digital

No full textΗ τέχνη της γαστρονομίας στο πλαίσιο της οράτειας σάτιρας
No full textΣκοπός του άρθρου είναι να αναδείξει τις επιδράσεις που έχει δεχτεί η σάτιρα του Ορατίου από τη fabula palliata και ιδιαίτερα από τις κωμωδίες του Πλαύτου και του Τερεντίου, τόσο μέσα από τον τρόπο που αξιοποιεί ο Οράτιος τον locus communis του συμποσίου και του φαγητού, όσο και μέσα από τον τρόπο με τον οποίο εμφανίζονται οι τυπικοί χαρακτήρες της ρωμαϊκής κωμωδίας στην ορατιανή σάτιρα. Μελετώντας τις σάτιρες 2.4 και 2.8 του δευτέρου βιβλίου των Σατιρών του, διαπιστώνουμε εντέλει ότι οι χαρακτήρες αυτοί αποτελούν σατιρικές φωνές-personae πίσω από τις οποίες βρίσκεται ο ίδιος ο ποιητής, με στόχο αφενός να στηλιτεύσει πολλές καταστάσεις της εποχής του και αφετέρου να αυτοσαρκαστεί, αλλά και να νουθετήσει τους αναγνώστες του σχετικά με διάφορες πτυχές της καθημερινής τους ζωής.ABSTRACTThe aim of this article is to present the effects that the Horatian satire has accepted from the fabula palliata, not only through the way that Horace develops the locus communis of the symposium and food in general, but also through the way in which the common characters of the Roman comedy appear in Horaces satire. By focusing on Sat. 2.4 and 2.8, we realise that these characters constitute satirical voices-personae behind whom lies the poet himself, in order to laugh at himself, but also in order to offer advice to his readers concerning various aspects of their daily life
