Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,
die kommende Große Mommsen-Tagung in Köln unter dem Titel „Philologie – Archäologie – Geschichte. Einheit, Vielfalt und Wirkung der Klassischen Altertumswissenschaft“ kann leider nicht, wie ursprünglich geplant, vom 28. bis zum 30. Mai 2021 stattfinden. Sobald ein neuer Termin feststeht, werden wir Sie an dieser Stelle informieren.Die eigentlich für den Herbst 2020 geplante Kleine Mommsen-Tagung, die unter dem Thema „πρῶτος εὑρετής – Inszenierungen und Konzeptionalisierungen des ‚Ersten Erfinders‘ in der Antike“ steht, wurde zur Vorsicht um ein Jahr verschoben. Vorgesehen sind nun die Tage vom 11. bis 13. November 2021, Veranstaltungsort ist Bochum.
Sollte die aktuelle Krise bis dahin noch nicht überwunden sein, wird die Kleine Tagung als Online-Konferenz stattfinden. Eine Liste der Vortragenden finden Sie unter https://www.mommsen-gesellschaft.de/veranstaltungen/kleine-mommsen-tagung. Das genaue Tagungsprogramm wird im Frühjahr 2021 veröffentlicht.
Mit freundlichem Gruß und besten WünschenProf. Dr. Jürgen Hammerstaedt

- OPEN LETTER FROM THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY TO THE GREEK PRIME MINISTERFeb 19Freitag, 19. Februar 2021 17:33
CONCERNING THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF THE LEGAL STATUS OF ΤΗΕ MAJOR PUBLIC MUSEUMS
Dear Prime Minister,Dear colleagues,
we are writing to ask for your support in our effort to preserve the current legal status of the five largest Greek public museums and avert their transformation into Legal Entities governed by Public Law, resulting in their severance from the Archaeological Service.The petition attached has been written on the initiative of Greek university professors, who have embraced our cause with enthusiasm. Ifyou agree with its contents, please forward your answer to the following e-mail: Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein!.Very many thanks in advance,The archaeologists of the National Archaeological Museum, Athens
It was with great surprise and disquiet that we were recently informed of the imminent introduction to the Greek Parliament of a bill that will change the legal status of your country’s five largest public archaeological museums (the National Archaeological Museum, the Byzantine and Christian Museum, the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, the Museum of Byzantine Culture and the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion), at present organic components of the Ministry of Culture, to Legal Entities governed by Public Law. These museums, with which we have the strongest ties, have always been an integral part of the Greek Archaeological Service. The severance of that connection consequent on such legislation would have the most undesirable consequences for the future of museums and archaeological activity in Greece.
The collections of these museums illuminate the history of all the major regions of Greece and, further, illustrate the spread of Hellenic culture far beyond the territory of the Greek state, as is especially the case with the National Archaeological Museum and the Byzantine and Christian Museum. We have followed the impressive work of all of them through their numerous exhibitions, scientific catalogues and other publications, educational and cultural activities and, of course, the fine re-exhibitions of their permanent collections – not to mention the international awards granted to them over recent decades. We observe too that both the preservation of the archaeological wealth of Greece, during a period when many museum collections worldwide are being dissolved, and the dissemination of archaeological research, owe much to these state organisations and, indeed, to the current Greek legislation under which they operate.
The proposed change in the legal status of the five museums raises deep concerns. As archaeologists, historians, museologists, art historians, members of Academies, university professors and researchers, we fear that the forthcoming conversion will degrade their primary function as centres for the safe guarding of antiquities for future generations, for research and documentation of the past, for the advancement of science and diffusion of knowledge. We believe that they will concentrate one-sidedly on services of commercial character, e.g. shops, restaurants, cafés, rental of Museum spaces, etc., services that are undoubtedly important but secondary. Museums must aim higher than economic profitability – at the education and edification of people at large.
Dear Prime Minister, we ask you not to permit the severance of these major Museums from the Archaeological Service which, together with the Archaeological Departments of the Universities, the Archaeological Society of Athens and the Foreign Archaeological Schools, has been at the forefront of the development of Archaeological Science. On the contrary, we invite you to further strengthen them with personnel, and with financial and technical resources. It is, after all, accepted in international archaeological and museum practice (and evident in the related bibliography) that museum collections should be treated as inseparable from their historical and excavation (and consequently also administrative and managerial) context and should in no way be divorced from it. Do not exclude the archaeological collections of Museums and Ephorates of Antiquities from the benefits and duties of joint management, which will enable ancient Greek and Byzantine material culture to remain what we all wish it to be: a common cultural heritage.
The transformation of public museums into Legal Entities governed by Public Law would run completely counter to their long history and tradition as public assets, fatally change their character and compromise their key role in society.
Respectfully,

Seit dem 15. Januar dieses Jahres ist unter https://rollpodest.hypotheses.org/ "das Rollpodest" online, eine Plattform für Archäologische Sammlungen und ihre Freund:innen und zugleich das Blog der archäologischen Sammlungen der Universitäten Freiburg, Heidelberg und Tübingen.
..."digitale Plattform für Termine und Aktuelles, Berichte über Projekte und Forschungen, Blicke hinter die Kulissen und nicht zuletzt für die Freundeskreise der Sammlungen. Noch sind beileibe nicht alle Rubriken mit Leben gefüllt, über die wir in diesem Blog Zugänge zu unseren Sammlungen erschließen wollen, aber sie geben bereits eine Idee, wo die Reise auf dem Rollpodest hingehen kann. Wer Exponate nicht nur hinter Glas mag, den macht vielleicht ein Blick „In die Werkstatt“ oder „Über den Tellerrand“ neugierig. „Am Objekt“ arbeiten oder „Mit Studierenden“ soll vorführen, wie breit das Spektrum forschender und lehrender Tätigkeit in unseren archäologischen Sammlungen ist. Nicht selten führt das zu wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen und Berichten, die sich bei uns „Auf dem Schreibtisch“ befinden. Abwegiges oder Selbstironisches am Rande der üblichen Routen unseres fahrbaren Untersatzes finden Sie unter „das Trollpodest“.

- The challenges of living closely together – cross-cultural perspectivesFeb 27Samstag, 27. Februar 2021 09:04
Call for papers for an international workshop on pre-industrial urbanism to be held at Ingelheim (near Mainz, Germany), Friday 12th to Saturday 13th November 2021
Academic fields: Archaeology (all sub-disciplines), Ancient, Medieval and Early Modern History, Assyriology, Urban Geography, Urban Sociology, Anthropology
Organizational context: Thematic Area 3 Urbane Verdichtung / urban agglomeration (research area 40.000 Years of Human Challenges at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz). The workshop is funded and supported by the Mainz Ancient Studies programme.
Call
The 21st century has been described as the "century of cities". Never before did such a high percentage of the global population live in cities and urban agglomerations. Today, as in the past, the urban experience is connected to specific challenges. The workshop announced in this call for papers aims to stimulate a multidisciplinary discussion on the problematic sides of going urban and focuses on pre-industrial cities and other settlements characterized by (relatively) high population densities.
While there are many different factors that incentivized people to move into larger settlements throughout the ages, living closely together brought new and multifold challenges. Particularly where smaller settlements developed into larger population centres, the possibility for communities to organize themselves along the lines of face-to-face interactions waned, while reciprocal dependencies increased. Although challenges develop dynamically and are dependent on a set of individual parameters, we can see some recurring themes resulting from the circumstance of close cohabitation, which invite diachronic and cross-cultural comparison. They range from a radically altered relationship to the environment, poor sanitary conditions and higher levels of social stress caused by crowding, to organizational challenges such as the logistics of sustaining larger populations, the negotiation of decision-making processes, as well as the experience of internal conflicts and dissent, to name just a few. Instead of focusing on one particular challenge, the workshop aims at facilitating a discussion on the overlap of multiple challenges and a more holistic view on the precarious, ever-changing dynamics of densely populated settlements.
In preparation for our workshop, we will invite scholars of larger pre-industrial sites to discuss a particular set of predefined challenges with us (see list provided below). The list offers a very simple, yet robust tool to compare densely populated settlements from different periods and world regions. During the workshop, we will discuss how various communities conceptualized, perceived and dealt with different but recurring structural challenges inherent in living closely together and going urban.
To facilitate a joint discussion, we ask all participants to either focus on one particular settlement (or a group of settlements) and three or more challenges picked from the list provided below. Alternatively, participants can choose to focus their paper on methodological or comparative approaches referring to one specific challenge from the list.
The following list makes no claim of completeness and deliberately prioritizes social, economic and technological challenges:
- Supplying the many (food, drinking water, construction materials etc.)
- Dealing with waste (waste disposal, sewage)
- Negotiating decisions (e.g. with regard to urban planning, urban expansion, the socio-spatial organization of built-up areas, distribution of urban functions etc.)
- Organizing production and exchange (ensuring the production and distribution of every day necessities and other goods, markets as physical places and institutions, etc.)
- Coping with the other (-ed) (religious minorities, deviant groups, outsiders)
- Structuring mobility and access to communal infrastructure (transport infrastructure, street network, accessibility of ritual infrastructure, public baths, gendered spaces, etc.)
- Coping with catastrophic events (e.g. natural disasters, fire accidents, pandemic disease, warfare)
- Regulating conflicts – containing violence – maintaining peace (settlements as conflict zones, cities as violent actors, the role of violent factions within settlements, construction of fortifications)
- Creating, maintaining, and contesting social institutions (legitimization and visualization of power relations, social norms, etc.)
- Coping with socio-economic inequalities (resisting socio-economic marginalization, channeling economic resources, legitimization of socio-economic inequalities)
We encourage archaeologists of all sub-disciplines as well as historians and urban geographers to submit abstracts. Contributions of researchers from other disciplines devoted to pre-industrial cities are also welcome, as are papers focusing on challenges connected to modern or present-day urbanism, given the potential for contextualizing and broadening our perspective. Moreover, we would be glad to include the perspective of researchers dealing with larger permanent settlements not defined as cities, e.g. larger prehistoric village communities.

- The Power of Anonymity in the Material, Historical, and Literary Cultures of the Ancient WorldFeb 18Donnerstag, 18. Februar 2021 10:35
(Interdisciplinary Workshop)
LMU Munich, 18-19 June 2021
Organised by the PhD candidates of the ‘Promotionsprogramm Altertumswissenschaften (PAW)’ and the ‘Münchner Zentrum für Antike Welten (MZAW)’.
In the material, historical, and literary cultures of ancient societies, we frequently find ourselves in front of works of art, historical and religious pieces of evidence, as well as legal and literary texts, whose authorship cannot be ascertained. Anonymous texts were regularly attributed to famous authors to give them greater authority (e.g. the play ‘Octavia’ attributed to Seneca). The notion of the author or creator—the so-called πρῶτος εὑρητής or inuentor in the Graeco-Roman culture—played a fundamental role. At the same time, there are myths, legends and artworks that have no author but still have a strong impact on identity formation as well as on political discourses.
Most artworks and texts of the Egyptian, Chinese, Greek and Roman literary and material cultures are documented without any names associated with them. This holds true for the Parthenon sculptures, which, although often linked to Pheidias alone, were produced by many nameless, unacknowledged and thus unattested artists; it holds true for Roman state art, for which we have very little written evidence (just to mention Trajan’s Column in Rome), for famous collections of poems such as the anonymous ‘carmina’ of the Anthologia Latina, which roughly date from the fifth/sixth century AD, for the Shijing, a Chinese anthology of odes dating from approximately the eleventh to the seventh centuries BC purportedly compiled by Confucius, or for the Panegyrici Latini, a fourth-century collection of twelve speeches praising various emperors, most of which were written by anonymous authors. For other objects, especially those involving the divine, the identity of the creator was deliberately left obscure. Several aniconic divine images were said to have fallen from heaven (e.g. the image of the Taurean Artemis) or to have been washed ashore (e.g. the mask of Dionysos at Methymna). While such claims point to divine intervention and possibly to divine workmanship, the agency and power an object was to unfold depended on human perception. «Ever since a collection of people called Homer blamed the Muse to obfuscate their part in the crime, authors have mystified the very concepts of agency, individuality, responsibility, and personhood that are often taken for granted elsewhere» (see T. Geue, Author Unknown. The Power of Anonymity in Ancient Rome, Harvard 2019, 1 ff.). So it also happens that an anonymous material product or an anonymous text becomes a sacred or fetishized object, precisely because it seems to have no origin.
The purpose of this workshop is to shed light on the power of anonymity in its multiple manifestations in the ancient world, and to explore the meaningful and complex ways in which unattributed cultural products have been received and interpreted by their contemporaneous recipients as well as by later audiences. Core questions to be pursued in the workshop are:
What does it mean—to the ancients as well as to us—if a work is anonymous or not? Are texts or works of art interpreted differently if the author is known or if the name of the author is fake or a pseudonym? Does the age of the works matter? Does the absence of a poetic context make a text necessarily less understandable? And is it possible to appreciate an artistic monument or a legal, historical, religious or literary text, although we do not know at all the intentions of its creator/author? Does anonymous art possess efficacy and meaning surpassing that of identifiable authorship? Was anonymity a general feature or just an artistic ‘device’ used for special cases? Which role does anonymity play in ancient political discourses? And ultimately: What does it mean to give a “name” to an object or to “unname” an object and/or its author?
The conference is open to postgraduate students and early career researchers. Please submit titles and abstracts (in German or English) of up to 300 words (excluding bibliographical references) and a short academic biography by 31 March 2021 at Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein!. We welcome submissions from all scholarly fields of Classics as well as Ancient Near East and Oriental Studies, Classical Reception Studies and Comparative Study of Antiquity. The presentation at the workshop should not exceed 20 minutes. The keynote speakers are Professor Anna Anguissola (University of Pisa) and Dr. Felix K. Mayer (Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg).
Depending on the development of the current pandemic situation, the workshop will take place in Munich or will be held online. There will be no registration fee.

- Biblical Exegesis from Eastern Orthodox PerspectivesFeb 12Freitag, 12. Februar 2021 15:14
It is our great pleasure to inform you that the SBL Unit, “Biblical Exegesis from Eastern Orthodox Perspectives” will have four sessions at the SBL Annual Meeting 2021 that will be held on November 20-23 in San Antonio TX.
We hope you will consider proposing a paper for one of the sessions! We welcome proposals on the following topics:
- Image of God in Paul, Middle-Platonism, and the early Fathers (joint session with the Pauline Letters Unit): References to the concept of creation "according to the image of God" in the Septuagint translation of Gen 1:26 and its reception by Hellenistic-Jewish authors presuppose a broad cultural discourse between biblical and Hellenistic philosophical traditions. This session will focus on the way Paul and the Pauline school draw on this discourse and create new concepts by interpreting the "εἰκὼν Θεοῦ" notion against new Christological backgrounds. The research papers will be expected also to consider the voices of ancient philosophers and exegetes of Paul.
- Fresh Perspectives on John Chrysostom as Biblical Exegete: John Chrysostom is the most celebrated exegete in Eastern Orthodox traditions. An increasing number of scholars describe John Chrysostom's profile as that of a son of both 4th century Christianity and Hellenism who conceives of exegesis as a kind of care for the soul. This session invites papers that consider current scholarly debates on John Chrysostom and reconstruct his exegetical background, techniques, and strategies.
- Divine Plurality in the Hebrew Bible/Septuagint and its Christian Interpreters: We invite abstracts on the identification of Jesus with the God of the Hebrew Scriptures, not only in theological treatises and exegetical texts, but especially in hymnography and iconography. How does this “liturgical exegesis” express the relationship between the Father and the Son on the basis of Scripture?
- On the occasion of the recent critical edition and German translation of short chronographic Paleja (Die Kurze Chronographische Paleja, Gütersloh 2019), we solicit proposals which examine the impact of these Slavonic literary traditions on the study of the Pseudepigrapha and Eastern Orthodox Hermeneutics (Joint Session with the Pseudepigrapha Unit).
Proposals must present a clear thesis, explain the theoretical and methodological approaches of the research, and identify a specific body of evidence that the research will interpret. See also our official website: www.orthodoxbiblical.org. The call for papers closes at 11:59 pm, Eastern Standard Time, on March 23.
SBL offers grants for scholars outside North America to attend the Annual meeting. Please consider the relevant information here: https://www.sbl-site.org/membership/SBLAwards.aspx
We are aware of the troubles and the continuing uncertainty due to the pandemic, but we remain optimistic regarding the SBL Annual Metting.

- International conference on the reproduction of Greek vases, ca. 1840–1900Feb 04Donnerstag, 04. Februar 2021 15:16
Artes Etruriae renascuntur 2.0
The reception of Greek vases by European ceramic factories, ca. 1840–1900
In the second half of the eighteen century, collecting Greek vases gradually became a more widespread phenomenon. Many of them were found in the newly excavated graves in Campania and (later) Etruria and attracted much attention. The appreciation of Greek vases resulted in a new taste and fashion – first known under the terms Etruscan taste, à l’etrusque, all’etrusca or hetrurisch, before most of these vessels began to be widely recognised as Greek products and the fashion was then termed Greek revival or neogrec/neoclassical. This fashion concerned nearly every part of everyday life, especially the contemporary ceramic production. In 1769, Josiah Wedgwood started imitating ancient vases in his factory called ‘Etruria’ and coined the motto ‘Artes Etruriae renascuntur’ for his famous stoneware ceramics. In 1787, the Servizio Etrusco of Naples’ Real Fabbrica Porzellana di Ferdinandea was presented as a gift to George III of Great Britain and Ireland and at the same time, Sèvres manufactured an Etruscan service for Marie Antoinette’s country house Rambouillet. Other production sites quickly followed, and at the end of the 18th century, various, even small factories produced ceramics in ‘Etruscan’ taste. These 18th-century neoclassical reproductions of ancient pottery are well-known, and a lot of publications and exhibitions have addressed them.
However, the aesthetic paradigm of the design and paintings of Greek vases did not find an end with the beginning of the 19th century. On the contrary, Greek vases remained prestigious artefacts in 19th-century Europe (no matter if they were originals, nearly identical copies or new creations in the same style). Until now, this period of reception has found only little attention. Publications are available only for some factories (such as Hjorth and Ipsen [Enke] in Denmark)1 but there has been a rise in interest as indicated by recent research which focuses on English ceramic production using ancient models in relation to its social context.2
From an European perspective, a considerable number of questions have remained open so far: what kind of pictures come out of individual European countries, is it possible to discern specific developments, and how and to what extent were the agents of this craft interrelated with one another? What were the reception mechanisms of Greek vases and their imagery during the 19th century – and in what sense do they relate to – or differ from – those in the initial period in the late 18th and early 19th century? What was the relationship between the development of artistic production and the desire to imitate the appearance of ancient pottery?
Albeit almost unknown today, a wide range of different factories and productions existed in the middle and second half of the 19th century which imitated Greek vases in different techniques and colours. A good example is the factory of August Sältzer at Eisenach/Thuringia (founded in 1858). Sältzer began as stove producer before he focused on imitating Greek vases as well as other historical styles in the mid-sixties (his company was to last until the beginning of the 20th century). The production range of this factory, the technical development, the ancient models and reproduction media used for these ceramics stand at the core of a current research project conducted by Corinna Reinhardt, the initiatorof this conference which seeks to discuss the reception of Greek vases in Europe, ca. 1840–1900, within an interdisciplinary environment.
The aim of the conference is, on the one hand, to provide an overview over the heterogeneous factories especially in Austria, Denmark, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy which produced ceramics after the design and paintings of Greek vases in the period between ca. 1840 and 1900. Here, the main objective is to bring together research which is often separated by disciplinary boundaries, different subjects as well as different European countries, in order to provide for the first time a pan-European view on the reception of Greek vases in this period. On the other hand, the contrast and comparison between different productions is supposed to bring to light different aspects of this reception, and will help to understand the various phenomena within specific contexts and constellations.
We kindly invite you to submit an abstract of about 300 words for a 30-minute paper to Professor Corinna Reinhardt (Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein!) by March 31, 2021. Please refer to one of the areas of focus:
1. Spectrum and diversity of the production à la grecque in the period between ca. 1840–1900 (factories such as Samuel Alcock, Thomas Battam, Copeland [and Garrett], Dillwyn, Bates Brown – Westhead & Moore, Fratelli Francesco e Gaetano, Mollica, Peter Ipsen, P. Ipsen Enke, Lauritz Hjorth, Frederick Sonne/V. Wendrich, Villeroy & Boch, August Sältzer, Victor Brausewetter)
2. Comparative contributions with a diachronic, pan-European or thematic focus. Examples include phenomena like the repertoire of copied ancient vases, the question, how the media for reproduction were used, the technique of the ceramics in relation to the question of how ancient vases were imitated, the technical progress of artistic production, the relevance of colour and colour effects, the imagery, painting styles or the shapes of the vessels.
The conference is planned for July 16–18, 2021. The host institution is Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg/Germany. Due to the uncertain situation regarding travelling and meeting in person in the summer of 2021, no final decision can be currently made regarding the question if the conference will be held in person (which we would prefer) or virtually via Zoom (though a combination of both might be considered– please let us know your preferences). We plan to publish the proceedings of the conference.1 P. Birk Hansen (ed.), Kähler, Ipsen, Hjorth. Fra pottemageri til fabrik. De tidlige år ved tre danske keramikværksteder.

- Naturkatastrophen, Epidemien, Plagen – und was sie mit uns anrichtenFeb 21Sonntag, 21. Februar 2021 09:09
Interdisziplinäre Ringvorlesung Frühjahrssemester 2021
Universität Zürich
Gedanken aus der Antike im Dialog mit heute
Menschenleere Straßen, geschlossene Geschäfte, verlassene Schulen, stillstehende Züge, abgeriegelte Grenzen: Das Coronavirus hat im Frühjahr 2020 innert kürzester Zeit Verhältnisse geschaffen, die wir für kaum vorstellbar gehalten hatten. Angesichts einer Bedrohung, deren Gefährlichkeit niemand richtig einschätzen konnte, reagierte die Bevölkerung teils verängstigt, teils gelassen fatalistisch, so oder so aber radikal verunsichert. Worauf soll man noch vertrauen, wenn die Welt plötzlich unheimlich wird, wenn sie sich als doch nicht so beherrschbar erweist, wie wir meinten? Naturkatastrophen, Epidemien und Plagen haben die Welt auch in der Antike erschüttert. Sie trafen Gesellschaften, in denen ein Gesundheitssystem höchstens in Ansätzen entwickelt war und die deshalb ungleich verletzlicher waren als die heutigen. Und kaum jemand wusste, weshalb die Erde bebt, eine Stadt unter Asche verschwindet, Menschen plötzlich krank werden und dahinsterben. Wer war schuld und was sollte man tun? Die Deutungs- und Reaktionsmuster, die uns in den antiken Quellen begegnen, erscheinen bisweilen irritierend aktuell: Man sucht nach Sündenböcken, bevorzugt bei den Minderheiten in der Gesellschaft; Zweifel kommen auf an einem politischen System, dem man Versagen bei der Bewältigung der Krise vorwirft; von der Bevölkerung wird ein neues moralisches Verhalten gefordert, nachdem das frühere offenbar in die Krise geführt hat. Die Ringvorlesung möchte im Dialog mit der Gegenwart unterschiedliche Katastrophenphänomene, von Heuschreckenplagen über den Vesuvausbruch bis zu Pest und Klimawandel, in ihrem Verlauf beleuchten und insbesondere die politischen, religiösen und psychischen Reaktionen der Menschen in den Blick nehmen. Verschiedene disziplinäre Zugänge sollen nicht allein das zerstörerische Potential von Naturkatastrophen und Epidemien fassbar machen, sondern auch ins Bewusstsein rufen, welche Veränderungsprozesse in der Antike und gewiss auch heute durch sie ausgelöst werden können.
