Authors:poj@peeters-leuven.be Abstract: This review of Jacques Chamay's publication on Pierre Sciclounoff Collection (1926-1997) is an opportunity to emphasize the importance of the context in Archaeology and, consequently, on the problems raised by the traceability of ancient artefacts in the art market.

Authors:poj@peeters-leuven.be Abstract: In the last few years, a new project focused on the island of Capri has improved our knowledge about the archeological record of the area. The research has actually started from the archivistic record, discovering new papers about the excavation and the transportation of at least three different marble floors. Two of them are already known and still visible in their actual location, the last instead is a totally new find, hitherto not recognizable in any of the visible marble floors reused in the royal palaces of Naples. The new documents improve our knowledge of the location and time of the discoveries, and help us in proposing an hypothetical reconstruction of the lost floor. PubDate: Fri, 20 May 2022 06:50:01 +000

Authors:poj@peeters-leuven.be Abstract: This paper deals with a particular kind of ludic objects, the so-called <i>fritilli</i> (or dice-shakers). Usually, peculiar types of small pot of pyriform or cylindrical shape are considered <i>fritilli</i> in Pompeii, but the question can be faced in a different way. The work carried out in the storageroom of Pompeii has permitted to identify several gaming sets in which the presence of <i>fritilli</i> can be attested. The data here presented can offer new insights to the question, shifting from a morphological approach to a contextual one, as suggested by the last perspectives of research. This paper underlines, once again, the complexity of the Pompeian material culture and allow us to throw new lights on the ludic habits of the ancient inhabitants.

Authors:poj@peeters-leuven.be Abstract: The main sanctuary of Commagene is situated on Mt. Nemrud in eastern Turkey. Here, the coronation memorial of Antiochus is presented. Two identical ensembles of five colossal statues were erected at the East and West terraces during the first century BCE. The statues are named after five deities corresponding with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. The ensemble represents a frozen picture of the sky as seen from Mt. Nemrud on the 29th January 91 BCE at dawn around 06:58 local time. The time is determined by an annual phenomenon of Regulus, the royal star of Commagene as explained in the article. The colossi represent the largest known horoscope in the world and commemorate the coronation day of Antiochus I. Next to the statues, an ensemble of five reliefs was erected on the West and East terraces i.e., four dexioseis and the Lion Horoscope. The Lion relief is the oldest picture of a horoscope in the world. The importance of Regulus is emphasized by its central location at the heart of the lion. The sculpture is a frozen picture of the sky as seen from Mt. Nemrud on the 14th July of 109 BCE at dusk around 19:38 local time. Also here, the time is determined by Regulus. The ensemble of dexioseis and Lion relief is the coronation memorial of Mithridates I and likely commemorates the symbolic birthday of his son, Antiochus. The research presented in this article, allows for a reconstruction of the Commagenian calendar. Moreover, it is hypothesized that historical chronology can benefit from an unknown tool i.e., the use of the four annual phenomena of the agricultural marker star to determine absolute dates.

Authors:poj@peeters-leuven.be Abstract: In the age of the Mycenaean palaces (LH IIIA-B, ca. 1420/10-1200/1190 BC) thousands of relief beads of gold sheet, glass and faience were made for personal adornment, both on the Greek mainland and on Crete. On the mainland this industry already started during LH IIB (1480/70-1420/10 BC). Earlier relief beads were recovered in fairly small numbers on the mainland and on Crete. This paper presents an overview of these and shows what they look like. It is made clear that their production already started on Crete in the Middle Minoan period (MM I-II, ca. 2100/2050-1750/1700 BC). It is also shown that these earlier beads can be interpreted as precursors of later examples (from LH IIB and LM IIIA onwards). The latter were nearly all produced with the help of moulds, but more than one quarter of the early Minoan specimens were cut from different, mostly precious stones.

Authors:poj@peeters-leuven.be Abstract: This paper proposes to model historically coherent microregions in which long-term dynamics of spatial organization can be studied. Using published datasets from a 520 km<sup>2</sup> catchment area in south-central Crete (Greece), settlement evolution is traced by evolutionary trajectories whose variability is then analyzed with State Sequence Analysis. Around diachronically major settlements from Early Iron Age to the Hellenistic period, microregions are modeled using Site Catchment Analysis based on a modeled road network. This enables us to observe the development of small rural city-states, and to date the start of their formation process to the 9th century BC. PubDate: Fri, 20 May 2022 06:29:23 +000
