ASPECTS OF ANCIENT GREEK CULT III: Cults and Architecture at the South Slope of the Athenian AkropolisJul 07Montag, 07. Juli 2025 18:22
CALL FOR PAPERS FOR YOUNGER SCHOLARS
Cults and Architecture at the South Slope of the Athenian Akropolis
An International Colloquium
3-5 March 2026, Athens
Invitation
The Ephorate of Antiquities of the City of Athens and the Directorate for the Restoration of
Ancient Monuments, Hellenic Ministry of Culture, the Danish Institute at Athens (DIA)
and the Danish Institute for Mediterranean Studies (DIOMEDES) cordially invite three
younger scholars to participate with a paper in the first international conference dedicated
to the architectural monuments and cults of the South Slope of the Athenian Akropolis, 3-5
March 2025 in Athens.
The South Slope of the Athenian Akropolis
Today, the South Slope is one of the world’s most visited tourist destinations from the
ancient Greek world. It was here that the world’s first permanent theatre building was
built in the Sanctuary of Dionysos Eleuthereus. It was one of the most important locations
for visual culture with statues of important Athenian citizens and Greek deities, statues
that were master works of the most famous sculptors of the time like Alkamenes and
Praxiteles. These works of art were described and praised by ancient authors like the
rhetor and sophist Kallistratos (living during the late 4th or early 5th century AD), who
composed a unique series of descriptions (Ἐκφράσεις) of 14 works of art, mostly statues
set up on the South Slope and especially in the Sanctuary of the Dionysos Eleuthereus.
It was also in this theatre plays by legendary dramatic playwrights like Aeschylus,
Sophokles, Euripides and Aristophanes were performed during the annual festival in
March to the wine god, the Great Dionysia. The winners of the dithyrambic and dramatic
competitions were paying extreme amounts of money to famous sculptors and craftsmen
to create victory monuments erected along the Street of Tripods, thereby forever being
immortalized.
Just like in ancient times, the tourists today also visit the well-preserved and reconstructed
Herodion on their way up to the Propylaia of the Akropolis. If walking from the Theatre of
Dionysos Eleuthereus, tourists would visit the terrace above the Stoa of Eumenes II with
the ancient sanctuary of the medicine god Asklepios with its two temples (ἀρχαῖος ναός
and ναός) and the Doric Stoa with the monumental βόθρος. If they were going around
west of the theatre towards the East and North Slopes of the Akropolis, the ancient tourist
before and after the time of Pausanias would visit tombs of mythical heroes such as
Halirrhothios, Talos or Kalos and Hippolytos showing the importance of the South Slope’s
many ancient cults.
The South Slope was in ancient times the primary location for entertainment of the
Athenian citizens with the theatre, the stadion (before the Stoa of Eumenes II), Perikles’
Odeion and later in the Roman period, yet another concert hall, the Herodion (AD 161).
But the South Slope was just as important for the many ancient cults worshipped by the
Athenian citizens with sanctuaries of Aphodite, Asklepios, the Nymphs and Pan,
Dionysos and later foreign cults such as Kybele and Isis.
Therefore, it is now time for the first international colloquium to investigate the ancient
architecture, sculpture, inscriptions and cults of the South Slope of the Akropolis. As the
ancient city state of Athens used the South Slope as a place where it promoted Athenian
architecture, literature, music, performance arts, plastic arts and philosophy to the whole
Mediterranean world, we will now study aspects of ancient Greek cults and its
architecture in Athens.

Tagungsbericht: Mommsen-SoPHAU-Kolloquium, März 2025, Frankfurt am MainJul 03Donnerstag, 03. Juli 2025 11:07
Am 28. März 2025 fand an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main das erste gemeinsame deutsch-französisches Kolloquium der Mommsen-Gesellschaft und der SoPHAU zum Thema „Die griechischen Städte und die Macht Roms von Pompeius bis zu den Flaviern - Les cités grecques et le pouvoir romain de Pompée au temps des Flaviens“ statt. Das Kolloquium wurde ermöglicht durch eine logistische und finanzielle Zusammenarbeit des Historischen Seminars der Goethe-Universität Frakfurt, des Institut franco-allemand de sciences historiques et sociales (IFRA-SHS) in Frankfurt und der Mommsen-Gesellschaft.
Die Veranstaltung ging zurück auf den Wunsch der Mommsen-Gesellschaft und ihrer französischen Partnergesellschaft, der Société des professeurs d'histoire ancienne de l'université (SoPHAU), die wissenschaftlichen Kontakte zwischen französischen und deutschen Forscher:innen zu intensivieren. Doch wie sollte dies erfolgen? In Abstimmung mit dem damaligen Vorstand der Mommsen-Gesellschaft Prof. Dr. Werner Riess, Frau PD Dr. Muriel Moser-Gerber als potenzieller Organisatorin eines Formats, das dies ermöglichen sollte, und Herrn Prof. Dr. Manuel Royo, dem damaligen Vorsitzenden der SoPHAU, entstand die Idee einer Kolloquiumsreihe, deren Treffen im zweijährlichen Turnus von deutscher bzw. französischer Seite veranstaltet und jeweils zwei Expert:innen beider Länder zu einem bestimmten Thema die Möglichkeit geben sollten, aktuelle Forschungen in einem deutsch-französischen Austausch vorzustellen. Dass es in Frankfurt möglich war, die Beiträger:innenzahl auf sechs zu erhöhen, lag nicht zuletzt an der großzügigen Unterstützung des IFRA.
Das Thema des ersten Kolloquiums war schnell gefunden. Es verband in Sinne der Kolloquiumsreihe das Anliegen, aktuelle Forschungen bekannt zu machen und einem Thema, das sich in Frankreich seit Jahrzehnten großer Aufmerksamkeit erfreut, in Deutschland mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu verschaffen: Wie erging es griechischen Städten in römischer Zeit? Welches Interesse hatten Römer an den griechischen Städten im Osten während der Republik und der Kaiserzeit? Welchen Einfluss auf griechische Poleis übten römische Machthaber aus und weshalb? Es galt hier also, römische mit griechischer Geschichte zu verbinden, Makro- mit Mikroebenen zu vereinen.
Die sechs Vorträge des Kolloquiums verteilten sich auf drei Sektionen, die jeweils einem geographischen Raum gewidmet waren: Griechenland, Kleinasien und Syrien. Jede Sektion setzte sich dabei aus einem deutsch-französischen Paar zusammen, was es ermöglichte, aktuelle Fragestellungen zu vergleichen.
Die einzelnen Sektionen wurden, ganz im Sinne der Interdisziplinarität der Mommsen-Gesellschaft selbst, durch drei Frankfurter Kolleg:innen geleitet: durch PD Dr. Florian Forster aus der Alten Geschichte, durch Dr. Ute Kelp aus der Klassischen Archäologie und durch Prof. Dr. Hans Bernsdorff aus der Klassischen Philologie.
Zu Beginn des Kolloquiums begrüßten der Präsidenten der Mommsen-Gesellschaft, Prof. Dr. Dominik Maschek, und Prof. Dr. Laurence Mercuri, eine der Präsidentinnen der SoPHAU, die Gäste in Frankfurt.
Daraufhin folgte die erste Sektion mit zwei Vorträgen zu den Entwicklungen in Zentralgriechenland. Es begann Prof. Dr. Christine Hoët-Van Cauwenberghe (Lille). Ihr Beitrag über die Rezeption des Bildes des guten Kaisers in den Städten und Heiligtümern Griechenlands („La figure du bon prince en Achaïe au premier siècle de l’Empire“) erörterte zunächst die Qualitäten, die guten Kaisern in der frühen Kaiserzeit zugeschrieben bzw. von ihnen erwartet wurden: virtus, clementia, iustitia, pietas (die Tugenden des Augustus), aber auch die philosophischen Kardinaltugenden temperantia und sapientia. Der Vortrag legte dar, dass im griechischen Osten aber auch die Notionen des Philhellenismus und des Euergetismus eine zentrale Rolle spielten. Der Beitrag zeigte nicht nur auf, inwieweit diese Tugenden in den griechischen Gemeinwesen Athen, Olympia, Gytheion und Akraiphia die Darstellungen guter Kaiser beeinflussten, sondern illustrierte auch, wie disparat diese Rezeption geschah. Entscheidend für die Wertung kaiserlicher Qualitäten (und auch die Unterlassung einer damnatio memoriae) waren nicht zuletzt persönliche Erfahrungen mit den betreffenden römischen Machthabern, wie es etwa die Ehrung Neros in zwei Inschriften aus Akraiphia (IG VII, 2713, ILS, 8794) und Athen (IG II² 1990) aufzeigt. Auch kam man in Griechenland zu anderen Wertungen als in Rom, gerade, was die Auszeichnung der Kaiser (v.a. Nero, Vespasian, Domitian) als Philhellenen und Euergeten betraf.
Der Beitrag „Athen und Rom“ von Dr. Muriel Moser-Gerber (Frankfurt a. M.) thematisierte Ehrungen von Römern in Athen. Ca. 200 Ehrenstatuen für Mitglieder der römischen Elite sind in der Zeit von 80 v. Chr. bis ca. 100 n. Chr. belegt. Doch wie vorteilhaft war es für die römischen Geehrten, mit solchen Ehrenmonumenten in Athen ausgezeichnet zu werden? Moser-Gerber erörterte diese Frage, in dem sie zunächst die Eigenheiten der Ehrenstatuen für römische Geehrte auf der Akropolis untersuchte und aufzeigte, wie und in welchem Kontext diese Monumente römische Identitäten konstruierten. Hier sei zwischen neuen Statuenmonumenten und ca. 20 wiederverwendeten Monumenten aus der klassischen und hellenistischen Zeit zu unterscheiden. Beide Typen von Monumenten stellten jedoch Römer als beispielhalte Wohltäter (euergétai) Athens dar. Daraufhin wurden diese Ehrenstatuen anderen Monumenten römischer Eliten in Athen gegenübergestellt und gezeigt, wie sehr sich diese von Stiftungen (etwas jene des Kleineren Propylons in Eleusis durch Appius Claudius Pulcher) unterschieden: Ehrenstatuen wurden von der Polis gesetzt und ausgestaltet, Stiftungen von den Römern selbst initiiert. Die Tatsache, dass private Stiftungen durch römische Eliten mit Augustus in Athen zum Erliegen kamen, gleichzeitig aber die Wiederverwendung alter Monumente einsetzte, führte Moser-Gerber zu der Frage, inwiefern die wiederverwendeten Monumente eine Art Ersatz für private Stiftungen waren, man herausragenden Römern hier also besonders Ehrungen zuteilwerden ließ, die deren Renommee und sozialen Status ebenso deutlich unterstrichen wie private Stiftungen. Die Tatsache, dass es Athen durch diese Entwicklung möglich war, römischen Einfluss in Athen einzuhegen, führte sie schließlich zu der Feststellung, dass die forcierte Einrahmung der Selbstdarstellung römischer Eliten im System des Euergetismus auf die Athener selbst zurückging, die am meisten von der Situation profitierten.
Eine weitere Sektion thematisierte Kleinasien. Prof. Dr. Francois Kirbihler aus Nancy berichtete aus einem aktuellen Forschungsprojekt zu den conventus-Städten in Kleinasien, dass das Potential der Fragestellung auch auf andere Provinzen des römischen Reiches aufzeigte. „Die Konventstädte in der Provinz Asia zwischen römischem Herrschaftssystem und regionaler Identität“ zeigte eindrücklich, wie lohnend eine fundierte Beschäftigung mit der Thematik sein kann. Zunächst wurden (mit Rückgriff auf A. Dalla Rosa, ZPE 183, 2012, S. 264) die unterschiedlichen Angaben zur Existenz von conventus-Städten in Kleinasien betrachtet und diese auf einer Karte verortet. Nach einem kurzen Überblick über bekannte Konventstädte in anderen Provinzen des römischen Reiches erfolgte dann die Analyse des Materials in Hinblick auf die Rolle der Konventstädte in der politischen Organisation der Provinzen. Ihre Rolle im Kaiserkult ist gut belegt, aber es stellt sich die Frage, ob die römische Macht, beginnend mit Sulla, die Formierung solcher conventus-Städte förderte oder gar forcierte, um die Kontrolle über das Territorium zu verbessern. Kirbihler besprach das Beispiel von Ephesos ausführlich, ging aber auch auf andere Fälle ein (Städte in Lykien). Er schlug vor, in der Auswahl und Präferenz einiger Gerichtsorte des kleinasiatischen Statthalters eine mögliche Analyseebene für die Betrachtung der politischen Rolle der Konventstädte in der Ausübung der Zentralmacht Roms zu sehen. Insgesamt plädierte er überzeugend dafür, dass eine eingehende Betrachtung der politischen Rolle der Konventstädte neue Einsichten in den Regierungsstil römischer Kaiser geben könne, weg von der Notion eines stets reaktiven Staates, hin zu einem dynamischeren Modell, dass auch proaktives Eingreifen und Gestalten zulasse.
Dies wurde gefolgt von einem Beitrag mit dem Titel „Performanz und Herrschaft. Cicero in Ephesos, Laodikeia und Tarsos“ durch Prof. Dr. Susanne Froehlich (Darmstadt), der aufzeigte, wie sehr Ciceros Inszenierung seiner Statthalterschaft in Kilikien, und hier besonders seine Anreise und Ankunft (adventus), von dem Bemühen geprägt war, sich als guter Römer zu stilisieren. Froehlich debattierte zunächst das Konzept der Performanz von John L. Austin sowie Kolesch und Lehmann und die Frage, wie sich dies gewinnbringend bei der Analyse der Aussagen Ciceros anwenden lässt. Der Vortrag thematisierte Ciceros adventus in Ephesos, Laodikeia und Tarsos und die Frage, wie Cicero sich gegenüber der Stadtbevölkerung, die auch aus Römern bestand, stilisierte. Dabei ging es Froehlich nicht nur um die Darstellung vor Ort, sondern auch um Ciceros Selbstinszenierung in seinen Briefen, zwei Ebenen, die sie in einer eingehenden Analyse des Briefwechsels aus Ciceros Zeit als Statthalter in Kilikien im Amtsjahr 51/50 v. Chr. herausarbeitete. Dem fügte sie eine weitere Analyseebene hinzu, jene der Adressant:innen. Hier sei zwischen den primären Adressat:innen vor Ort, den sekundären Adressant:innen in Rom und den tertiären Adressant:innen der Nachwelt zu unterscheiden. Ciceros Empfang in den Provinzstädten kontrastierte nicht nur mit seinem Verhältnis zu anderen Gruppen in seiner Provinz, der Bevölkerung des Amanosgebirges und den mit Rom verbündeten Klientelkönigen, es stand auch dem entgegen, was Cicero bei seiner Rückkehr in Rom erlebte.
Nach einem geselligen Mittagessen in einem frühlingshaft warmen, sonnigen Frankfurt ging es dann weiter mit der Nachmittagssektion zu Syrien. Eröffnet wurde diese von einem Vortrag von Prof. Dr. Julien Aliquot (Lyon), der die ca. 40 Zuhörer:innen mit auf eine Reise nach Ägypten nahm. Dort nämlich befindet sich bis heute ein beschrifteter Steinsockel, der, so zeigte es Aliquot in einer Darlegung der Aufzeichnungen und Untersuchungen des Steines (Bruwier, Claes & Quertinmont, « La Description de l’Égypte » de Jean-Jacques Rifaud, 2014, p. 135, pl. 186, no 29) seit der Zeit Napoleons (Publikationen aus den Jahren 1802, 1806, 1822, 1845 sowie später 1902-5) überzeugend, aus Arados stammt und über Damietta nach Kairo kam. Sein Vortrag „Arados et Rome d’après une inscription honorifique errante adressée par une cité anonyme de Syrie à un légat de l’empereur Claude (41-54)“ beleuchtet abschließend die Frage, welche Aussagen die Inschrift in ihrem ursprünglichen Kontext über die Geschichte von Arados und seiner Region zur Zeit des Claudius, als L. Popillius Balbus gegen lokale Aufstände vorging, zulassen.
Ein abschließender Beitrag durch PD Dr. Julia Hoffmann-Salz (Freiburg i. Brsg.) beleuchtete dann die Neuordnung Syriens durch Pompeius. Ihr Beitrag „Pompeius -oder Tigranes? Wer reorganisierte das seleukidische Syrien?“ betrachtete insbesondere die Frage, wieviel von Pompeiusʼ Plänen auf die Politik von Tigranes zurückging und welcher Anteil der sogenannten Neuordnung als Erfindung des Pompeius gelten muss. Zunächst analysierte sie die Situation in der Region Pontos, wo Pompeius eine ähnliche Neuordnung vornahm, die im Folgenden als Modell und/oder Kontrast fungierte. Die Rekonstruktion der Ankunft von Pompeiusʼ Truppen in Syrien wurde auf Grundlage antiker Quellen (App. Mithr. 106, Plut. Pomp. 39, Plut. Luc. 25, Jos. AJ 14,3,2 , 4,4 , Jos. BJ 1,7,7, Strab. 11,11,4; 16,2,18, aber auch zahlreicher Münzen) rekonstruiert. Hoffmann-Salz kam zu dem Schluss, dass Rom hier größtenteils bestehende Entwicklungen aufnahm, an einigen Stellen aber auch neue Akzente setzte und dies besonders in jenen Städten und Regionen, die Pompeius belagerte bzw. im Kampf eroberte.
Insgesamt zeigen die sechs Beiträge auf, wieviel Potential weiterhin in Fallstudien über die Frage nach der Ausübung römischer Macht und der Rezeption römischer Vorstellungen in griechischen Städten steckt.
An dieser Stelle sei den Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern noch einmal für die Bereitschaft gedankt, das Kolloquium mitzugestalten. Die Veranstaltung zeigte nachdrücklich, wie die drei großen Bereiche der Altertumswissenschaft in Arbeitsweise und Diskussion zusammenkommen können, ganz im Sinne der Idee der Mommsen-Gesellschaft. Gedankt sei auch den wissenschaftlichen Hilfskräften der Abteilung für Alte Geschichte, die tatkräftig und mit viel Engagement beim Catering und der Organisation unterstützten. Der reibungslose Ablauf der Veranstaltung, und der gute Marmorkuchen aus Marburg, war nicht zuletzt ihnen zu verdanken.
In der abschließenden Diskussionsrunde wurden dann nicht nur die Ergebnisse der Vorträge reflektiert, sondern auch das Format der Kolloquiumsreihe. Dabei sprachen sich alle Beiträger:innen für die Beibehaltung eines kleinen Formats aus, das eine intensiven Austausch und rege Diskussionen ermöglicht. Der Vorschlag, bei der nächsten Veranstaltung die Möglichkeit der Online-Zuschaltung zu geben, sollte sicherlich weiterdiskutiert werden. Insgesamt war die Veranstaltung aber ein schöner Erfolg, der sich auch an der regen Teilnahme am geselligen Abendessen zeigte. Möge all dies dazu beitragen, die neue deutsch-französische Kolloquiumsreihe, die ihm Jahre 2027 in einem Treffen in Frankreich fortgeführt werden wird, zu dem Erfolg zu geleiten, den sie verdient und der uns alle um wichtige Perspektiven bereichern wird.

Durham Collections Fellowships Durham Collections Fellowships for the academic year 2025-2026Jul 02Mittwoch, 02. Juli 2025 13:02
Durham University is delighted to invite applications from researchers for Visiting Fellowships of one month in duration.
The aim of the Durham Collections Fellowships is to enable and foster research across the historic collections of Durham, notably Archives and Special Collections at Palace Green Library, the Oriental Museum, the library and archives of Ushaw College (the former Roman Catholic seminary just outside the city), the Cathedral Library and the archives of Durham Priory and Cathedral.
The resources available to scholars include not only libraries and archives, but also collections of visual and material culture, and architectural assets. The purpose of the Visiting Fellowships is to support research into these globally significant collections.
The Barker Visiting Fellowships are intended to support research into any of the collections held in Durham and there are a number of Lendrum Priory Library Fellowships available specifically to support work on the surviving contents of Durham Cathedral's medieval priory library. This collection is currently the focus of a large-scale digitisation project, Durham Priory Library Recreated [http://www.durhampriory.ac.uk<http://www.durhampriory.ac.uk]www.durhampriory.ac.uk<http://www.durhampriory.ac.uk>.
The Lendrum Fellowships are intended to support research into any of the collections but there is a preference for applicants wishing to use the historic book collections of Durham. This is interpreted broadly to include consultation of individual books, study of specific collections, research into the material forms of books, histories of book circulation and collecting, plus consideration of the readers of books. We welcome applications from both academic and practitioner researchers at all stages in their career.
The Lord Crewe's Charity Fellowships are open to any applicant wishing to work on the Bamburgh Library Collection. The remit is wide, from those wishing to research it as a collection, to those planning to consult an individual item, and also includes the material culture of the books.
Fellows will be encouraged to work collaboratively with academic subject specialists, librarians, archivists and curators to realise the collections' research potential, and to develop innovative research agendas. They will also be encouraged to participate in the life of the University, particularly its broad range of seminar series.
Applications
Applicants should submit a short CV together with a summary of the project and materials they propose to work on, and the expected publications or other outcomes (the summary should be maximum two sides of A4). Applications should demonstrate a serious research interest that focuses on primary source material within the collections held at Durham. Applicants who plan to collaborate with Durham academic or collections staff are especially welcome and should mention this in their application. There is no need to identify a particular fellowship scheme when applying; the selection committee will decide which scheme is most appropriate, though applicants can highlight one if they wish.
Applicants must consult with the relevant collections staff to ensure that the materials they wish to work with are available at the times of their visit. This is particularly important in the case of the Oriental Museum, the Cathedral Library and Ushaw Library, all of which have limited opening hours.
This is especially important for applicants:
*
whose research projects may require access to a large number of objects, books or
archives
*
who are interested in the materiality of collections or items
*
who wish to be considered for the Lendrum Fellowships
*
who wish to be considered for the Lord Crewe's Charity Fellowships.
For these areas of research, we strongly recommend that applicants consult relevant collections staff to discuss the practicalities of their research project and their proposed dates of research before applying. If this has not been possible, we may need to ask applicants for further information before assessing their application.
There will be five fellowship intakes throughout the academic year, lasting for four weeks each:
October = 13 October - 7 November 2025
November = 17 November - 12 December 2025
February = 23 February - 20 March 2026
May = 27 April - 22 May 2026
June = 1 June - 26 June 2026
Applicants should indicate their preferred dates. They should also indicate to which university department(s) and/or research centres their research most relates. Applications should be submitted by noon on Wednesday 3 September 2025. We shall aim to notify successful candidates by mid-September 2025.
Fellows will be granted an honorarium of £2,000 per month towards their transport and subsistence costs. A small number of PhD bursaries may be available to the value of £600. Please note that fellows will be expected to arrange their own travel and accommodation.
Those who have previously held fellowships are eligible to apply again after three years have elapsed since their previous award. Please note that the maximum times an individual can be awarded a fellowship is on three occasions, or the equivalent of three months, over a period of 10 years.
Recipients of all fellowships are expected to be in continuous residence in Durham and to participate in and make a contribution to the intellectual life of the University. This may include an informal talk, other event or blog post about their research, as part of museum or special collections engagement programmes.

Two postdoctoral fellowships (fixed-term contract) in the research project Locally Crafted Empires (LoCiS), School of Culture and Society, Aarhus UniversityJul 02Mittwoch, 02. Juli 2025 13:00
Aarhus University
Deadline 1 Sep 23:59 CEST
Expected start 1 Jan
* School of Culture and Society - Classical Archaeology, subject Jens Chr. Skous Vej 5 8000 Aarhus C
* Fixed term full-time position 1 Jan 2026 - 31 Dec 2026 ID: 18517
The research project Locally Crafted Empires: Intersecting identities under Imperial rule in Western Asia as expressed in local portrait cultures (1st c. BCE-5th c. CE) (LoCiS) headed by Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art, Rubina Raja, at the School of Culture and Society, Faculty of Arts, Aarhus University (AU), is looking to recruit two full-time (37 hours/week) postdoctoral researchers. The postdoctoral researchers will be working on specific project tasks set out by the project director.
The positions are for 1 year with the possibility of prolongation for another 2 years. Both positions will commence on 1 January 2026.
About the project
The LoCiS project investigates the rich but understudied local portrait cultures of ancient Western Asia with the aim of determining how they reflect local and regional entanglements with and responses to different imperial hegemonies. LoCiS aims to reveal new knowledge about intersecting identities on an individual, local and regional level through a long durée perspective with a global historical outlook. The thousands of surviving portraits have not been studied comprehensively - neither diachronically nor in contexts or in cross-regional perspectives. LoCiS aims at offering unprecedented insights into the multilayered narratives of the varied individual experiences in antiquity.
The postdocs will work closely with Professor Rubina Raja and other project members. Tasks include work on the project database and catalogues, producing a monograph, co- and single-authored articles and contributions, organizing conferences, workshops and guest lectures, undertaking research travel. The postdocs will specifically undertake research on locally produced portraits from the region of West Asia from 100 BCE - 500 CE. The more narrowly defined region will be subject to definition together with the project director at the time of a potential interview for the position. Applicants should therefore specify in their application the region(s) within the study area where they believe their strongest competences lie.
We are looking for candidates who are specialised in Classical Archaeology with a focus on Greece and/or the eastern Roman provinces and/or Near Eastern archaeology in the period between 100 BCE - 500 CE and who have a solid research profile and demonstrates wide-ranging knowledge of the archaeology and history of West Asia - here defined that the region from and including Egypt to Anatolia and from the Tigris to the Mediterranean with a focus on visual culture.
Qualifications
Applicants must hold a PhD degree in Classical Archaeology or closely related disciplines and be able to demonstrate expertise in ancient visual culture.
Applicants must also be able to document:
* Research and knowledge in archaeology on topics relevant to the outlined project.

* Flexibility and the ability to prioritise.
* Excellent time-management skills and ability to meet deadlines.
* Excellent interpersonal and collaborative skills.
* The ability to speak and write professional/academic English.
* The ability to read German, French and Italian.
Please submit up to two publications for assessment. Note that only publications that are actually submitted with the application will be assessed; a list of publications is not sufficient. Applications that are not accompanied by publications will not be assessed.
The university is keen for its staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified applicants, regardless of their personal background. Members of the academic staff at the School of Culture and Society are expected to contribute to a vibrant, dynamic and collegial work environment.
Further information

War in the Ancient World - International Conference 2026Jun 30Montag, 30. Juni 2025 15:47
(WAWIC 2026)
June 9–11, 2026 (Winnipeg and Madrid)
We are pleased to announce the upcoming War in the Ancient World International Conference 2026 (WAWIC 2026), an annual event that brings together researchers from around the globe to exchange ideas and present new research on ancient warfare. We invite submissions from scholars working on all aspects of ancient warfare and military history. Contributions from archaeological, philological, and historical perspectives are welcome. We are particularly interested in topics related to the Greco-Roman world, the ancient Near East, ancient Egypt, and neighboring cultures. The conference is open to graduate students, early-career researchers, and established scholars alike. The 2026 conference will take place in person at two locations: in Winnipeg for participants based in North America and in Madrid for those based in Europe. Selected panels will be connected via Zoom to enable transcontinental interaction and discussion.
We welcome proposals in three categories: (a) individual papers, (b) project presentations, and (c) thematic panels.
(a) Individual papers may address any aspect of ancient warfare and will be assigned to appropriate panels by the organizers. Presentations should not exceed 20 minutes and will be followed by a 10-minute discussion.
(b) Project presentations, aimed primarily at master’s students, doctoral candidates, and other early-career scholars, should take the form of a brief 10-minute talk. These will be followed by a 20-minute workshop-style discussion focused on open questions and constructive feedback.
(c) Thematic panels should have a clear focus on a specific topic related to ancient warfare. Panels hosted at one of the conference locations may include 4 to 8 related presentations. We especially encourage the submission of transcontinental panels, which should consist of 3 to 6 coordinated presentations. If you would like to organize a thematic panel, please contact
Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein. with a brief outline of your proposed panel (150–300 words) BEFORE October 30, 2025. A complete list of speakers, contributors, and abstracts is only due by January 15, 2026.If necessary, priority will be given to contributions from authors with an ongoing or well-established line of research on ancient warfare. Panel organizers are likewise encouraged to apply this criterion when selecting participants for their proposals.
In-person participation at one of the two venues is expected, unless compelling personal circumstances or intercontinental travel make this impossible. Students and early-career scholars as well as unemployed researchers will be able to apply for up to 150 € of their travel expenses reimbursed.
For individual papers and project presentations, please send a 300-word abstract and a brief biographical note to

Pressemitteilung des Deutschen Archäologen Verbandes zur Novellierung des KulturgutschutzgesetzesJun 27Freitag, 27. Juni 2025 09:56
Antikenhandel im Wandel
Vor Novellierung: Deutscher Archäologen-Verband begrüßt Schutz archäologischer Objekte im neuen Kulturgutschutzgesetz
Vor der Abstimmung im Bundestag über die Novellierung des Kulturgutschutzgesetzes diskutierte der Deutsche Archäologen-Verband auf seiner Jahrestagung in Würzburg Herausforderungen und Perspektiven im Umgang mit Antikenhandel und Kulturerbe.
Am 26. Juni 2025 entscheidet der Bundestag über eine Änderung des Kulturgutschutzgesetzes (KGSG), das den Handel mit Kulturgütern künftig vereinfachen und transparenter gestalten soll. Der Deutsche Archäologen-Verband (DArV) begrüßt in diesem Zusammenhang ausdrücklich, dass archäologische Kulturgüter weiterhin unter besondere Schutzbestimmungen fallen sollen. Im Vorfeld der parlamentarischen Entscheidung widmete sich die Jahrestagung des Verbands vom 20. bis 22. Juni in Würzburg unter dem Titel „Cultural Heritage – Eigentumsfragen – Best practice“ der aktuellen Debatte um den Antikenhandel und seine gesellschaftliche Verantwortung.
Angesichts nachlassenden Interesses unter den Erben früherer Sammlerinnen und Sammler und aufgrund der verstärkten öffentlichen Debatte über Rückgaben werden insbesondere Museen als Schnittstellen zwischen Forschung und Öffentlichkeit zuletzt immer wieder mit Angeboten konfrontiert, private Antikensammlungen zu übernehmen. Deren nicht selten ungeklärte oder problematische Provenienzen erschweren den Umgang mit solchen Angeboten: Sie auszustellen würde bedeuten, ihnen Legitimation zu verleihen, sie abzulehnen ginge mit dem Risiko des Verlusts dieser Stücke einher. Museen könnten allenfalls, so ein in Würzburg diskutierter Vorschlag, als „sicherer Hafen“ agieren und, entsprechende Kapazitäten vorausgesetzt, Objekte unklarer Herkunft vorübergehend verwahren bis rechtmäßige Eigentümer ermittelt und Rückgaben in die Wege geleitet werden können. Hierfür gilt es, Leitlinien zu entwickeln.
Gleichzeitig betont der DArV die Notwendigkeit noch früher anzusetzen: Raubgrabungen und illegale Ausfuhr von Kulturgut müssen effektiver verhindert werden. Dabei geht es nicht darum, den legalen Besitz oder Handel grundsätzlich zu kriminalisieren, sondern um eine konsequente Dokumentations- und Nachweispflicht für alle Beteiligten. Das Kulturgutschutzgesetz von 2016 hat hier bereits wichtige Impulse gesetzt. Die nun geplanten Änderungen sollen bürokratische Hürden abbauen und mehr Transparenz schaffen. Ausdrücklich begrüßt der DArV, dass archäologische Kulturgüter wegen ihrer besonderen Schutzbedürftigkeit von einer geplanten Lockerung der Sorgfaltspflichten, etwa zum Erwerb, zu Ein- und Ausfuhr, ausgenommen sind.
Die Änderungen sollen im Sommer 2025 in Kraft treten.
Der Deutsche Archäologen-Verband wurde 1970 in Bonn gegründet und vertritt heute etwa 1.150 Mitglieder aus allen archäologischen Disziplinen. Als disziplinenübergreifender Berufsverband setzt er sich für die beruflichen, wissenschaftlichen und sozialen Interessen von Archäologinnen und Archäologen in Deutschland ein. Während seiner Jahrestagung diskutiert er regelmäßig aktuelle Themen der archäologischen Wissenschaften, Museen und des Kulturerbes.

Athens: Visiting Fellowships at the British School at AthensJun 20Freitag, 20. Juni 2025 12:18
Visiting Fellowships at the British School at Athens are offered for periods of between four and twelve weeks for research in any branch of the arts or social sciences related to Greece and related to any chronological period from the Palaeolithic to the present.
The BSA is a world-renowned institution with its Library, Archives, Fitch Laboratory in Athens and the Knossos Research Centre. Fellows will become members of the BSA and will benefit from all it has to offer in terms of research facilities and accommodation in the centre of Athens. They will have access to the network of research libraries in Athens as well as the ability to undertake museum or site studies (with prior consultation). Athens has a lively intellectual life and Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in the stimulating academic life of the BSA and wider Athenian community.
Fellowships are open to established scholars at any career stage beyond PhD level, normally in full-time employment at a university, museum, or comparable institution, and are ideally suited to those who have been granted a period of sabbatical leave during the relevant academic year. Preference may be given to applicants from UK HEIs.
Fellowships are non-stipendiary, but accommodation is provided free of charge and the cost of one return airfare from the UK or elsewhere in Europe to Athens will be reimbursed. Fellows are required to submit a report covering their research and their time at the BSA to the BSA's Council.
Visiting Fellows will be expected to conduct a programme of their own research, give one public lecture at the BSA and an open seminar as part of the established programme. They should also be willing to concern themselves with the current students and their work and may wish to contribute additional lectures or seminars as appropriate in discussion with the Director.
Fellowships may be taken up in either the autumn or the spring semester in Athens or Knossos. The period of time is usually spent in a continuous block but it may alternatively be broken up into non-continuous blocks after discussion with the Director. Accommodation is also offered to an accompanying spouse/partner, at a nominal daily rate.
Before developing a proposal, applicants are advised to contact the relevant member of staff if they propose to include: BSA material (Archivist), BSA Museum material (Assistant Director), Knossos material (Knossos Curator), Fitch Laboratory collections and facilities (Fitch Director) or need permissions to visit sites or study material in Greek Museums (School Administrator). Further information about the School can be found at www.bsa.ac.uk.
Applicants should submit a covering letter, a statement of their proposed programme of research in Greece, and a Curriculum Vitae.
