ISBN: 9781784911379 / Angielski / Miękka / 820 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Symbolism was endemic in the ancient world as a visual language, with its interpretation one of the most important challenges, especially in the realm of the divine and sacred, to today's cognitive archaeology and Classical Studies. This study is focussed on circular solar/cosmic symbolism which has endured for seven millennia in the European and Mediterranean worlds. The potency of the solar/cosmic circle should not be understated, as this study will demonstrate, with its worldwide affiliation. For all humankind is aware of the sun's benefits of light and warmth, and of the seasons which...

ISBN: 9781784911645 / Angielski / Miękka / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Gnathia ware, originally produced in Apulia (today's Puglia in South East Italy), was found on numerous sites on the East Adriatic coast and in its hinterland: in the Greek settlements - majority of them in Issa, today's Vis on the island of Vis in Central Dalmatia - and in indigenous settlements on the East Adriatic coast, stretching from the Istrian peninsula in the north to the present-day Albania in the south.

ISBN: 9780190256517 / Angielski / Twarda / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A vivid and engaging exploration of California's debt to the ancient world Discussing the influence of the classics on America is nothing new; indeed, classical antiquity could be considered second only to Christianity as a force in modeling America's national identity. What has never been explored until now is how, from the beginning, Californians in particular chose to visually and culturally craft their new world using the rhetoric of classical antiquity. Through a lively exploration of material culture, literature, and architecture, American Arcadia offers a tour through...

Nectar and Illusion: Nature in Byzantine Art and Literature
ISBN: 9780190497101 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nature and Illusion is the first extended treatment of the portrayal of nature in Byzantine art and literature. In this richly illustrated study, Henry Maguire shows how the Byzantines embraced terrestrial creation in the decoration of their churches during the fifth to seventh centuries but then adopted a much more cautious attitude toward the depiction of animals and plants in the middle ages, after the iconoclastic dispute of the eighth and ninth centuries. In the medieval period, the art of Byzantine churches became more anthropocentric and less accepting of natural images. The...

Die Romische Villa ALS Indikator Provinzialer Wirtschafts- Und Gesellschaftsstrukturen
ISBN: 9781784911683 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The investigation of the Roman villa and its economic structures in the western provinces of the Roman Empire has clearly shown that rural settlement developed at different paces and intensities that largely depended on the specific region in which a villa landscape was intended and created. The progress of Romanization was strongly linked to the existence of pre- Roman infrastructure in a given region (e.g. Tres Galliae: Celtic; Narbonensis: Greek; Northern Africa: Punic). This existing infrastructure was at first acquired and successively intensified by the Romans.
In its sum, the Roman... The investigation of the Roman villa and its economic structures in the western provinces of the Roman Empire has clearly shown that rural settlement ...

Desde el mas remoto pasado hasta nuestros dias, no ha dejado de fluir la fuente de vida que para nuestra civilizacion es el Arte. Un arte que nos resulta indescifrable pero a cuyo influjo no podemos oponernos, eso es debido a que esas obras encierran y transmiten conocimientos cuya naturaleza es imposible expresar por ningun otro medio, pero cuya accion sobre el ser humano esta mas alla de toda duda.

The Iranian Expanse: Transforming Royal Identity Through Architecture, Landscape, and the Built Environment, 550 Bce-642 Ce
ISBN: 9780520290037 / Angielski / Twarda / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Iranian Expanse explores how kings in the ancient Iranian world utilized the built and natural environment--everything from royal cities and paradise gardens, to hunting enclosures and fire temples--to form and contest Iranian cultural memory, royal identity, and sacred cosmologies over a thousand years of history. Although scholars have often noted startling continuities between the traditions of the Achaemenids and the art and architecture of medieval or Early Modern Islam, the tumultuous millennium between Alexander and Islam has routinely been downplayed or omitted. The...

Jewish Art in Its Late Antique Context
ISBN: 9783161543883 / Angielski / Twarda / 381 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The contributions to this volume examine the emergence of ancient Jewish art from the interdisciplinary perspective of Art and Archaeology, Ancient Judaism and Rabbinics, Patristics and Church History. The studies show that an interdisciplinary approach leads to a better understanding not only of ancient Jewish, but also of Graeco-Roman and Christian art. They evaluate how late antique Jewish art was embedded in its Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine cultural contexts by, at the same time, evincing specifically Jewish and local Near Eastern idiosyncrasies. Contributors: Roland Deines, Rachel...
