Environment and human habitation have become principal topics of research with the growing interest in the Black Sea region in antiquity. This book highlights their interaction around all the coasts of the region, from different perspectives and disciplines. Here, archaeological excavation and survey combine with studies of classical texts, cults, medicine, and more, to explore ancient experiences of the region. Accordingly, the region is examined from external viewpoints, centred in the Mediterranean (Herodotus, the Hippocratics, ancient geographers, and poets), and through local lenses, particularly supplied by archaeology. While familiar disconnects emerge, there is also a striking coherence in the results of these different pathways into the study of local environments, which embrace not only Graeco-Roman settlement, but also a broader range of agricultural and pastoralist activities across a huge landscape which stretches as far afield as ancient Hungary. Throughout, there are methodological implications for research elsewhere in the ancient world. This book shows people in landscapes across a huge expanse, in local reality and in external conceptions, complete with their own agency, ideas, and lifestyles.
Offering a detailed analysis of the Roman provincial coinage of Bithynia and Pontus during the reign of Trajan (98-117), this book characterises individual mints, the rhythm of monetary production, iconography and legends, and considers the attribution and dating of individual issues.
Rafał Quirini-Popławski offers here the first panorama of the artistic phenomena of the Genoese outposts scattered around the Black Sea, an area whose cultural history is little known. The artistic creativity of the region emerges as extraordinarily rich and colorful, with a variety of heterogeneous, hybrid and intermingled characteristics. The book questions the extent to which the descriptor "Genoese" can be applied to the settlements’ artistic production; Quirini-Popławski demonstrates that, despite entrenched views of these colonies as centres of Italian and Latin culture, it was in fact Greek and Armenian art that was of greater importance.
The contributions in this volume combine fundamental questions of common sense geography with case studies of ancient geographical texts. The book bridges synchronic cognitive linguistic and cognitive psychological approaches to the ancient texts with a diachronic perspective. The mental modeling of common sense geography is a fruitful theoretical approach, to gain deeper insights in universal and cultural-specific mnemonic representational systems on the one hand, and to enhance our understanding of ancient geography on the other.

Proceedings of the Fifth International Congress on Black Sea Antiquities (Belgrade - 17-21 September 2013).

Ce volume est né de la collaboration entre deux équipes de chercheurs français e internationaux : l'une à Paris, qui appartient à l'UMR 8210 ANHIMA du CNRS, était codirigée par Clara Berrendonner et Mireille Cébeillac-Gervasoni (programme EMIRE), l'autre à Clermont-Ferrand, qui appartient au Centre d'Histoire "Espaces et Cultures" de l'Université Blaise-Pascal est cordonnée par Mireille Cébeillac-Gervasoni et Laurent Lamoine (programme "Les pouvoirs locaux depuis l'Antiquité"). La Praxis municipale dans l'Occident romain présente le bilan de trois années de recherches (2008-2010) sur le fonctionnement des cités locales de l'Occident durant le Haut-Empire avec des points de comparaison pris dans le monde grec et dans l'Europe médiévale. Le livre rassemble les résultats de la dernière rencontre du programme EMIRE (2009), dédiée à l'importance des sources littéraires dans la connaissance de l'administration locale, et des trois journées clermontoises (2008-2010) consacrées aux relations entre les pouvoirs locaux et les sanctuaires et à la place de l'écrit dans la pratique municipale
