Oldtidens historie

This second volume on the excavations of the Norwegian Viking town Kaupang 2000-2003 presents find types used in economic transactions - coins, hacksilver, ingots, weights and balances. Changes in type and volume of economic transactions at Kaupang and in Scandinavia are discussed, and the economic mentality of Viking crafts- and tradesmen is explored.In the early ninth century, silver and goods seem to have come to Kaupang mainly from the Carolinigian world. After the mid-ninth century this early system was altered. The increased availability of silver and the introduction in most of Scandinavia in the 860s-870s of standardized weights, paved the way for an increased use of silver as payment.The combined study of the find types and the sophisticated chronology of settlements´ finds from sites like Kaupang give completely new insight into economy and exchange. The book demonstrates how sites like Kaupang led the way in economic development in Scandinavia and promoted an economic mentality that eventually led to the fundamental transformation of Scandinavian culture and society and culminated in the region´s integration in High Middle Ages Christian Europe.

Er gåden om det forsvundne Atlantis løst? Nye geologiske og arkæologiske fund på den græske vulkanø Santorini bringer en tabt kultur for dagens lys igen - måske den kultur, Platon beskrev i sin Atlantis-myte.Geologen Walter Friedrich har i mere end 30 år udforsket Santorini, og Ilden i havet er hans beretning om, hvordan vulkaner har præget øens historie, geografi og geologi. Bogens centrale tema er skildringen af, hvordan Santorinis blomstrende bronzealderkultur blev begravet under et tykt lag aske ved et af de kraftigste udbrud nogenskinde.Santorini-vulkanen minder os om, at vi er de små og naturen den store: Vulkaner lever deres eget uforudsigelige liv og kan omstyrte menneskelige kulturer på få minutter.

Knudshoved Odde på Sydsjælland er et af Danmarks vigtigste steder når det gælder stenalderbopladser fra slutningen af istiden. I bogen publiceres udgravningerne af flere af disse bopladser, og resultaterne perspektiveres til andre kendte lokaliteter fra samme periode. Bogens anden halvdel er dedikeret til en undersøgelse af bosættelsesintensiteten under slutningen af istiden, hvor der blandt andet gøres flittigt brug af etnografisk kildemateriale.

Hvad sker der, når en stedmor forelsker sig i sin stedsøn? Kan følelserne få frit løb, eller må de undertrykkes? Kan en familie overhovedet overleve et sådant tabubrud? Kan stedmoren? Kan sønnen? Hippolytos har det hele med: forelskelsen, forbitrelsen, fortrydelsen og måske en forsoning.Euripides’ tragedie Hippolytos blev opført en forårsdag i 428 f.v.t., men dens klare beskrivelse af voldsomme følelser og modstridende idealer er helt moderne og evigt aktuelle, for hvor langt må vi lade os styre af kærlighed, af skam, af hævn? Hippolytos har et langt efterliv gennem billedkunst, skuespil, opera og film, men ikke desto mindre har tragedien stået i skyggen af Euripides’ Medea. Det er med denne oversættelse håbet, at Hippolytos vil blive genlæst med fornyet interesse og ikke mindst med fornøjelse og gru.Bogen er oversat og introduceret af Marcel Lysgaard Lech.

Senecas BREVE er et hovedværk og en klassiker - det mest omfattende stoiske skrift fra antikken og igennem tiden det mest læste af Senecas værker.?Senecas BREVE er en indføring i stoicismen, skrevet som 124 breve til vennen Lucilius – så man får brevets nære og relaterbare tone, men i virkeligheden filosoffens lærebreve og pædagogiske formidling og anvisninger til sin yngre ven.Denne oversættelse er den første komplette oversættelse af Senecas værk til dansk i 400 år – levende og djærvt, nærværende og let flydende i sin form, men bag det, der kan opfattes som one liners i hobetal, altså et filosofisk læreværk.Stoicismen er en livsfilosofi, der oplever en stor interesse og renæssance i den vestlige verden, fordi den taler ind i vores måde at leve på, hvordan vi skal være som mennesker, ting, der optager os i dag. Brevenes emner er livsnære problemer som tiden, venskabet, døden, smerten, ofte illustreret med en klar kulturkritik, med tankevækkende formuleringer om massesamfundet, stress, materialisme og anden overfladiskhed.Seneca (ca. 4 f.Kr.-65 e.Kr.) var stoisk filosof og blev i sin tid en af Romerrigets mest indflydelsesrige mænd – først som advokat, derpå tvunget i eksil i otte år, siden kaldt tilbage for at tage sig af kejser Nero og til sidst tvunget til selvmord, anklaget for at tage del i en sammensværgelse mod Nero.? Sit værk skrev han i den sidste del af sit liv.Værket udgives i Hans Gregersen og Kell Commerau Madsens nyoversættelse.

KONGEMYSTERIET. JAHVE OG ZIONS DATTER I mange af oldtidens kongeriger blev der hvert år opført et dramatisk mysteriespil. Det handlede om gudens og kongens død og genkomst og om kongeslægtens og gudens ret til landet. Kongen var gudens søn på jorden, og landet og folket var på mystisk vis kongens og gudens hustru. Bibelens profeter så landet og folket Israel som Zions datter. Hvert år til pinse kom guden Jahve for at fejre et helligt bryllup med hende – næsten som det også sker i dag overalt i den kristne verden. For kristendommen er bygget over denne oldtidens største kult-myte. Evangelisternes fantastiske lignelser og fortællinger er døbersektens fortolkning af myten og af det årlige mysteriespil. Men de er også en genfortolkning af, at kongen og folket havde svigtet Jahve ved at overlade magten i landet til præsterne og farisæerne. Dramaet kan fortælle meget om den tidlige kristendom, og om den mystiske døbersekt, som fostrede den. Kongemysteriet. Jahve og Zions datter handler om denne mysterietradition og dens store men oversete betydning for kristendommen. Bibelen bliver her fortolket fra en helt ny vinkel.

Danmarks førende neandertalerforsker er overbevist om, at vi en dag finder spor efter menneskets nærmeste slægtning her i vores egen baghave. Sandsynligheden for det handler denne bog om.Nordlige neandertalere giver dog først og fremmest en oversigt over, hvad vi ved om neandertalerne som menneskeart netop nu. Forskningen og interessen for dem er tiltaget stærkt, og de fleste vil i dag vide, at cirka 2 % af vores genetiske arvemateriale stammer fra, da mennesket, homo sapiens, blandede sig med Homo neanderthalensis. Og at de forsvandt for cirka 30-40.000 år siden efter at have været en del af det eurasiske landskab i mere end 300.000 år.Deres udbredelse mod nord er imidlertid omdiskuteret, men sandsynlig. Særligt er perioden lige efter den varme Eem-mellemistid for 100.000 år siden, tiden, der tilbyder de bedste samlede forhold for neandertalere i Danmark. Trine Kellberg Nielsen indkredser mulighederne for, hvornår og hvor de kunne have opholdt sig her, og hun fremlægger de fund, der hidtil er gjort i Danmark, som er blevet tolket som mulige spor efter neandertalere. Endelig viser hun, hvor det er, arkæologerne i dag graver for at finde det endegyldige bevis for, at de nåede helt op til vores breddegrader.TRINE KELLBERG NIELSEN er arkæolog. Hun færdiggjorde en ph.d.-afhandling om neandertalere i 2016 og forsker stadig specifikt i dette felt. Som lektor ved Afdeling for Arkæologi og Kulturarvsstudier ved Aarhus Universitet var hun bl.a. projektansvarlig for Moesgaard Museums særudstilling "Neandertaler – I mammutjægernes land", indtil hun i 2022 blev leder af arkæologisk afdeling på Moesgaard Museum.

Des liens historiques unissaient les Antilles et l'Anjou, entre le XVIIe et le XIXe siècle. L'Anjou et les bords de Loire constituaient l'arrière pays Nantais d'où partaient sur l'Atlantique flibustiers, pirates, corsaires et négriers pour combattre, commercer et coloniser les terres antillaises. Beaufort et la Vallée tenaient une bonne place dans cette aventure avec des hommes comme Pierre-Paul Tarin, petit-fils d'un meunier de la Ville, devenu gouverneur de Saint-Domingue le 30 septembre 1683.Le capitaine de navire Pierre-Augustin Moncousu, né à Bauné le 26 août 1756, a servi sur les vaisseaux du Roi ou de la République, mais aussi sur des navires du commerce triangulaire entre Nantes, la côte d'Angole en Afrique et Saint-Domingue, pour le compte d'armateurs Nantais.Des membres des familles Bourgeois et Bonamy, propriétaires à Beaufort-en-Vallée, et de la famille Bertrand du Platon, propriétaire du domaine de Narcé, en bordure de l'Authion, ont été présents à Saint-Domingue. Ils y ont exploité des industries, notamment indigoteries et des sucreries, avant la déclaration d'indépendance de l'île, sous le nom de Haïti.

Die Institution des antiken griechischen Symposions wird in der bisherigen Forschung wie folgt charakterisiert: Es handle sich dabei um eine aristokratische Einrichtung, die ausschließlich Männern vorbehalten war. Doch erlaubt dieses dominierende Deutungsmodell tatsächlich, dem griechischen Trinkgelage epochenübergreifend gerecht zu werden? Um dies zu überprüfen, bot es sich an, von den ersten Zeugnissen zum Symposion auszugehen. Gegenstand des Buches sind daher Text- und Bildzeugnisse des 8.-6. Jahrhunderts v.Chr. Dreh- und Angelpunkt war dabei der sogenannte "Nestorbecher" von der Insel Ischia, ein Trinkgefäß, dessen dreizeilige, poetisch geformte Inschrift als erstes Testimonium für das spezifisch griechische Trinkgelage anzusehen ist. Ausgehend von diesem im ersten Kapitel behandelten Objekt und seinem kulturellen Kontext werden dann in den übrigen drei Kapiteln, gerade auch in Bezug auf das Verhältnis zwischen Schriftgebrauch und Symposion, drei Problembereiche analysiert, mit dem Ergebnis, dass das frühgriechischen Trinkgelage von vielerlei Mischungen bestimmt wird, die im Zeichen der Gottheiten Dionysos und Aphrodite stehen und Männer wie freizügige Frauen betreffen, ohne dass diese Institution auf Aristokraten beschränkt war.

Ancient religion is traditionally understood in terms of myths, rituals and institutions, as transmitted in ancient texts. The studies gathered here focus instead on the lived experience of ancient cult and the places in which that experience was formed. They build on recent explorations of Lived Ancient Religion and also on new approaches to Material Ancient Religion. All ancient societies constructed elaborate sanctuaries. Their architecture and the collective rituals that took place there shaped collective experiences. Through case studies drawn from Ancient Egypt, the Greek World and the Roman Empire these themes are explored and elaborated. Together they indicate new ways of approaching ancient religious experience, collective and individual.

Der Leinenpanzer war der vorherrschende Brustpanzertyp im klassischen Griechenland. Er wurde von Hopliten, vielen Reitern sowie auch leichter ausgerüsteten Peltasten getragen. Aufgrund seiner vergänglichen Materialen ist kein Exemplar dieser Rüstung bis heute erhalten. Dennoch ist es dank der Informationen aus archäologischen und literarischen Quellen möglich, einige Aussagen über die Beschaffenheit und den Aufbau des Leinenpanzers zu tätigen. Genauere Information über seine Konstruktion und seine Schutzwirkung sind allerdings nur durch experimentalarchäologische Versuche zu erlangen. Seit mehreren Jahren werden entsprechende Experimente vom Hamburger Projekt "linothorax" durchgeführt. Der vorliegende Band liefert ein erstes umfassendes Zwischenfazit dieser Arbeit. Er enthält einen Überblick über den Hopliten als Träger der Rüstung, die wichtigsten Quellen, die Hamburger Experimente und die Schutzwirkung des Leinenpanzers. In weiteren Kapiteln werden detaillierte Beschreibungen der Herstellungen von Leinenpanzer-platten, Bronzeschuppen und Brustpanzern geboten. Somit dient das Buch nicht nur als einführendes Werk zum Leinenpanzer, sondern kann auch als Anleitung für weitere Versuche verwendet werden.
