The analysis determined that the diverse stone rocks from the various local deposits in the Crimean Mountains might have been used to produce the cornmills. These were trass, basalt, diorit, dacit, porphirit, tufa of volcanic origin, porous drive, limestones and sandstones of various consistency. The deposits of trass situated in the mountain mass of Kara Dag, were mined mainly. It is the former volcano 18 km westward from Theodosia. The cornmills made of trass were found almost on all the sites and cities of European Bosporus. It proves the fact that the stone mines in the Kara Dag and the workshops in Theodosia produced the cornmills spread in the antiquity.

Рейды ранних сарматов в Северном Причерноморье по данным эпиграфики и материальной культуры

Author(s): Fedor V. Shelov-Kovedyaev / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 6/2020

The paper publishes some new and summarizes earlier known evidences demonstrating the presence of the Sarmatians in the North Black Sea Region and Crimea in the 3rd cent. B. C. The new evidence includes: the Attic black lacquer plate from the excavations on acropolis of Panticapaeum with a spell against the Sarmatians cast as late as the end of the 4th cent. B. C.; some traces of abandoning — under Scythian pressure–of the military settlement in the rearward area of Uzunlar Wall and, in similar conditions, of the elite manors of Bondarenkovo Vostochnoie and Manitra on the border of the current city of Kerch; the discovery of Sarmatian kurgans of the 4th cent. B. C. on the Mid Don. The earlier evidence includes: accounts about Sarmatian attacks on the Chersonesos territory in the decrees of Chersonesos ΙOSPE I2 343 & 353; an image of a Sarmatian — cataphractarian on the Nymphaeum fresco at the end of the first quarter of the 3rd cent. B. C.; finds of Bosporan coins and hoards with these coins in Khoresm and Dzungaria in the stratum of the 2nd half of the 3rd cent. B. C.; the fact that the chorae of all of the Hellenic polises in the North Black Sea Region and Crimea were constricted in the 1st — 2nd quarters of the 3rd century B. C. All of these evidences prove that the military and political situation in the North Black Sea steppes had changed at the end of 225—230s B. C. due to the Sarmatian raids. They oppressed the Scythians who, in their turn, oppressed the Greeks.

Реконструкция деревянной чаши из Филипповского могильника

Author(s): Irina V. Rukavishnikova,Leonid T. Yablonsky / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 3/2009

The Priural’skaya expedition of the Institute of archaeology, (Russian Academy of Sciences) excavated seven kurgans of the world-famous cemetery at Filippovka settlement (Orenburg area) in 2004-2006. The wooden vessels ornamented with silver and golden details were found among other goods.One of the most interesting finds is a unique wooden cup founded in the burial 3 of the kurgan number 16 of the cemetery. It has no similarities with other cups and vessels which other kurgans contained. As the cup was made of wood it’s initial shape was lost. But small silver and golden plates which ornamented the cup, enabled us to fully reconstruct the cup. There were more than 30 of those plates we found in situ, some of them were produced in the traditions of the animal style. Other finds discovered in the kurgan – horse equipment, ornaments and weaponry – which date back to the second part of the 5-th – up to 4-th c. B.C., suggested that the cup was also produced at that time.When the excavations of those 7 kurgans were finished it became clear that wooden vessels covered with silver or golden plates were found both in individual male and female burials as well as in multiple burials. They were usually placed near the skull, on the right of it and were always made of precious metals. On the contrary, the details used to refurbish the vessel were made of bronze only.People (no matter if it was a male or a female found) buried with vessels of this type belonged to a high social class. This can be proved by the fact that warriors had a wide range of weaponry and female were buried with a set of cult goods.

Религиозные мотивы некоторых монет Ольвии и Кизика как средство социально-политических прокламаций

Author(s): Vladimir P. Alexeev,Petr G. Loboda / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 6/2013

The Dionysian typology of the new version of the hemiobol “Bucranion-Thyrsus” (№ 1) and the essential idea of the Orphic cult of Dionysus — liberation of the soul from the body prison — give the reasons to surmise the extrapolation of this idea by olbiopolites into the socio-political plane where it turned into the proclamation of the liberation of Olbia in the beginning of the 4th century BC from their own tyrants and the Scythian protectorate. The dichalk “Demeter-eagle upon dolphin” presents the new magistrate’s name abbreviation APTE… (№ 2), and the sacral scene of excruciation being the “emblem” of Olbia is transformed into a symbol of the victory of democracy. On the borysphenes (№ 3, 4 — re-stamped and new monograms — № 5—7), the Scythian pole-axe and bow in gorytus are considered not only the symbols of Borysphene’s authority but also as the weapons of mix-Hellenic mercenaries protecting the domain and the boundaries of Olbia. It is possible that the borysphenes were coined specifically to pay for their services. Rare dichalk “Apollo-wreath, palm-branch” is presented (№ 8). The protective function of the sphinx and the gryphon on the published coins of Kyzikos (№ 9, № 10) were used for different purposes. Hecta with a sphinx (500—460 BC) is considered as Kyzikos’ wish for protection during the Ionian Revolt and its defeat. On the stater (460—400 BC), the letter “lambda” is understood as the symbol of Lacedaemon state and possibly witnesses of Kyzikos submission to Sparta.

Религия, многообразие и взаимодействие по тракийските земи – примерът на еврейската общност в района на Филипопол (1–4 в.)

Author(s): Mina Tasseva-Bencheva / Language(s): English,Bulgarian / Issue: 25/2020

During the I–IV centuries AD, religious diversity became one of the key features of the Graeco-roman world, as attested by literary evidence from the period and supported by a series of modern studies. Coexistence and interaction between various cults in the Empire, along with their understanding of the gods and the sacred, contributed to shape the specific culture of the period. The paper intends to examine some aspects of this culture through the example of the Jewish community in region of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv). The existence of the Jewish community in the region of Philippopolis during the first centuries of the Roman Empire is attested by a group of inscriptions as well as the excavation of a building identified as a synagogue. This evidence is well known and it is currently being supplemented by new studies. However, few of them have focused specifically on the subject of the interaction between this community and its milieu. By exploring this subject, the paper contextualizes the community and brings a clearer image of its life, its understanding and expression of the sacred and its possible interactions with other religions on Thracian land.

РЕЦЕПЦИЯ АНТИЧНОСТИ КАК МЕТАМОРФОЗА «ПОГРАНИЧЬЯ» В ПОЛЬСКОМ ИНТЕЛЛЕКТУАЛЬНОМ КОНТЕКСТЕ ВТОРОЙ ПОЛОВИНЫ ХХ – НАЧАЛА XXI В.

Author(s): Anastasia Valerievna Ashaeva,Evgenii Aleksandrovich Chiglintsev / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 3/2016

The paper is devoted to the research of the Polish historiography of antiquity reception in the second half of the 20th – early 21st century. The appeal to Graeco-Roman antiquity in the cultural practices of the Central Eastern European region during the last decade has become a subject of research from the standpoint of regional and sociocultural studies, as well as interaction with local cultural traditions of individual countries. The historiographical experience of Poland demonstrates a certain connotation of the ancient heritage in the context of “frontier”, which characterizes the position of the entire region since 1989 and allows construction of the historical/cultural memory of the Polish society at the crossroads of cultural traditions of the East and West. The aim of the research is to identify the specifics of antiquity reception in Poland, which is reflected in the Polish academic historiography and literary tradition (Z. Herbert, J. Bohensky, and R. Kapuscinski). The task of the paper is to determine how the Polish professional academic studies of antiquity demonstrate the attitude to antiquity reception from the standpoint of self-identification and self-reflection of the community under the conditions of changes in the sociocultural situation. Simultaneously, the problem of considering reception of the ancient heritage in the Polish culture, such as in the intellectual literary tradition, is solved. The sociocultural approach to the investigated problem allows to show the forms and mechanisms of development of separate historiographic images of antiquity. The trends and approaches to study of the ancient heritage that developed in Poland make it possible to consider antiquity as the integral part of the culture of socialist Poland and such phenomena accompanying it as dissidence, anti-socialist fight, and revival of national identity, as well as turn antiquity into a tool for constructing the post-socialist historical and cultural memory and renewed pan-European identity of the Polish society in the 21st century.
