La bilancia e lo scarabeo alato: a proposito di due pesi bronzei dal Palazzo Nord-Ovest di Nimrud
No full textTwo bronze weight decorated with winged scarabs in thin golden sheets have been found in the so-called ‘room of the bronzes’ of the North-West Palace excavated by Layard in 1849-1850 at Kalhu/Nimrud. They were kept in the room together with a large amount of bronze items, including a collection of 150 bowls. The weights probably correspond to 1/2 and 1/3 of a mina, although the uncertain masses of the specimens makes a correlation with a weight system difficult. They are the only evidence of cubical weights with such a decoration in the whole corpus of Egyptian and Near Eastern weights and they probably have been brought to the Assyrian capital as a booty or tribute from a Phoenician or Aramaic center. The gold decoration, the comparisons from Levantine sites, and the winged scarab’s motiv make also probable their original use by the official administration of the town where they came from. The scarab motiv is in fact attested in the Levant on bronze bowls, ivory objects, seals and it seems an iconograpy eaborated during the 9th and 8th centuries BC with a specific connotation related to the royal power
Le relazioni tra l'Egitto e i “Paesi stranieri” nei lavori editi e inediti di Elmar Edel all’Università degli Studi di Milano
No full textIn 1999, the Università degli Studi di Milano acquired the library and the archives of Elmar Edel, the famous German scholar who was deeply interested in the contacts between Egyptian and Near-Eastern civilizations. In over fifty years of researches, Edel has provided accurate analysis and interpretation of the documents that witness these international relationships. His works and his unpublished papers on the subject are illustrated in the present contribution
Building Complexity: Layers from Initial EB IVA2 in Area P South at Ebla
No full textAn Initial EB IVA2 horizon can now be defined at Ebla both on a stratigraphic and a ceramic basis. To this phase belong the pottery materials retrieved on the floors of Building P6 in the Lower Town north-west, the immediate predecessor of Building P4, a multifunctional complex contemporary with Palace G. The resulting three-fold phasing of the EB IVA period may thus be evaluated also in terms of functional and incremental development, leading to a refined understanding of the urbanization process at the site
