    The Orient and Greece
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1932

    Abstract: On p. 289 of the last volume of the Journal Dr. Roes refers to the discovery at Nineveh by Dr. Campbell Thompson of large quantities of‘the black-painted ware the like of which is found in South Mesopotamia and Persia,’ in Parthian houses erected among the ruins of the destroyed temple of Ishtar. She discourages Dr. Thompson's suggestion that they were part of the ‘collection’ of a Parthian antiquary and suggests that ‘the discovery must mean that in the days of the Parthians the vases were still being made somewhere.’ I also feel sceptical about Dr. Thompson's Parthian antiquary, but think that Dr. Roes probably does not realise the peculiar nature of the site. Quyunjik is an immense mound rising about 100 feet above the bed of the Khosr that flows under it.

    Insinuations of Womanly Influence: An Aspect of the Christianization of the Roman Aristocracy
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1992
    In:  Journal of Roman Studies Vol. 82 ( 1992-11), p. 150-164
    Details
    In: Journal of Roman Studies, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 82 ( 1992-11), p. 150-164
    Abstract: Here is one of the laws of history: every event begins with a woman. It is the woman who confers life or death. It is in conformity with the nature of things that Helena should have converted Constantine. It is contrary to the nature of things that Constantine should have converted Helena. While we may smile at the ruminations of a nineteenth-century bourgeois on the sexual politics of Constantine's conversion to Christianity, if we turn our attention for a moment from the Emperor to the Empire itself we will perceive that our own more scientific studies reflect a similar vision of Helena, refracted in the persons of pious matrons across the Empire. For we generally imagine the religious changes which swept the later Roman Empire as resulting from a fateful collaboration, that of a few unusually persuasive clerics with a multitude of devout Christian women, who enforced the views of their clerical friends at home, and shepherded their prominent husbands towards the once-only cleansing of baptism. The view has much to recommend it, and it has sparked some of the most interesting writing on late antiquity in recent decades, beginning with a celebrated contribution by Peter Brown to this journal.

    The Name Anthesteria
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1900
    In:  The Journal of Hellenic Studies Vol. 20 ( 1900-11), p. 115-117
    Details
    In: The Journal of Hellenic Studies, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 20 ( 1900-11), p. 115-117
    Abstract: The conventional interpretation of the name Anthesteria as festival of flowers , or of the wine-bloom , and the derivation from ἄνθος always insecure and unsatisfactory, will need to be reconsidered in the light of Miss Harrison's paper in the present volume of the Journal on the origin and nature of the festival itself. Even from the Dionysiac point of view, it does not appear that either flowers or the ἄνθος of wine were connected with the season or the ceremonies in such a way as naturally to give a name to the whole: and still more doubtful is the supposed formation of the word. Nouns in -τηριο- are normally formed from verb-stems, through the ‘noun of the agent’ in -τηρ and take their sense from the action described by the verb, as σωτήριος λυτήριος βουλευτήριον etc. The names of festivals ending in -τηρια are no exception to this rule. They describe the action in which the ceremony consisted, or with which it was chiefly connected. Thus ἀνακλητήρια is a feast or ceremony of ἀνακλησις ἀνακαλυπτήρια of ἀυα κἀλυψις and so on.

    The Text of the Homeric Hymns
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1897
    In:  The Journal of Hellenic Studies Vol. 17 ( 1897-11), p. 241-267
    Details
    In: The Journal of Hellenic Studies, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 17 ( 1897-11), p. 241-267
    Abstract: Recent literature on this Hymn is almost limited to the notes of R. Peppmüller, Philologus , 1884, p. 196 sq. , 1894, p. 253 sq. , and H. Pomtow, Neue Jahrb. f. Phil. , 1886, p. 176, and the articles of A. Kirchhoff, Sitzungsberichte der preuss. Akad. xlii. 1893, and A. W. Verrall in this Journal vol. xiv. pp. 1 sqq. (1894). For Apollo we have the account by Roscher in his Lexicon; Mr. Farnell ( Cults of Greek States ) has not yet treated him. Want of illustration and of positive information upon the topics with which the Hymn deals, is the chief stumbling block to its interpretation. We are practically entirely ignorant, so far as other sources are concerned, at these places: the geographical names 32, 35, 40, 217, 422, 423; the nature of Eilithyia's necklace 103; the recitations at the Delian festival 156 sq. , Apollo's ‘brides’ 208 sq. , the observances connected with chariots at Onchestus 230 sq. , the epithets of Apollo 373, 496; the part taken by Cretans in the Delphic worship 393 sq.

    The Pottery called Minyan Ware
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1914
    In:  The Journal of Hellenic Studies Vol. 34 ( 1914-11), p. 126-156
    Details
    In: The Journal of Hellenic Studies, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 34 ( 1914-11), p. 126-156
    Abstract: The name ‘Minyan’ has recently been given to a kind of pottery which was first noticed at Orchomenos by Schliemann in 1881. In the report of his excavation which Schliemann contributed to the second volume of the Hellenic Journal , he carefully described the nature and position of this ware. ‘It is very remarkable that at Orchomenos painted pottery, with spirals and other Mycenean ornamentation, also cows with two long horns and the same variegated colours as at Mycenae, as well as goblets of the very same form and colour as at Mycenae, are generally only found down to a depth of about six feet below the surface of the ground, and that at a greater depth, monochrome, black, red, or yellow, hand-made or wheelmade pottery is found almost exclusively, analogous to some of that collected by me in the royal sepulchres at Mycenae. Very frequent here are the large hand-made black goblets or bowls, with a hollow foot and horizontal flutings in the middle, which I also found at Mycenae. . .

    The Imperial Nvmen in Roman Britain
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1969

    In: Journal of Roman Studies, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 59 ( 1969-11), p. 76-91
    Abstract: With the welcome appearance of The Roman Inscriptions of Britain, Vol. I: Inscriptions on Stone , by R. G. Collingwood and R. P. Wright, the major part of the epigraphical evidence for the Roman presence in Britain has at last been conveniently assembled under one cover. An Index is still forthcoming and inscriptions have not been included which came to light after 1954; but so clearly is the material laid out that it is a comparatively light task to comb the 2,400 inscriptions of the collection and to add later texts published in the annual report of the Journal from 1955 onwards. The following remarks have been occasioned by a survey of British inscriptions attesting the worship of the Imperial numen . They are not concerned, except incidentally, with the religious doctrine underlying this concept, still less with the thorny problem of the relationship between the numen and the genius . My main purpose is to consider some of the epigraphical problems resulting from the various ways in which the cult of the numen is recorded in order to establish a basis on which to discuss the nature and significance of this particular form of worship in Britain.

    The Imperial German Archaeological Institute
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1889
    In:  The Journal of Hellenic Studies Vol. 10 ( 1889-11), p. 190-215
    Details
    In: The Journal of Hellenic Studies, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 10 ( 1889-11), p. 190-215
    Abstract: Few English scholars have an exact knowledge of the history, the constitution, and the labours of the German Archaeological Institute, although the existing science of classical archaeology may be roughly said to be a creation of that Institute. So when, some months ago, an authoritative paper by Professor Michaelis of Strassburg, a member of the Central Direction, appeared in the Preussische Jahrbücher , supplying exactly such information on these matters as should be current among us, the Editors of this Journal thought that the opportunity thus offered was one of which advantage should be taken. Accordingly permission was obtained from Professor Michaelis and the Editors of the Jahrbücher to publish in these pages a translation of the article. The translation was undertaken by Miss Alice Gardner; and Professor Michaelis has himself made some additions to the text to fit it more completely for an English audience. [ED.] Scientific institutions, which take their functions seriously, live a silent life. This is a result of the very nature of scientific work, which in most points of its manifold occupations cannot appeal to a wide public. Only in case of especially important discoveries, or of conspicuous performances, and on festal occasions do such institutions step out of their quiet round of work into public light, and demand the sympathy of wider circles.

    Excavations in Cyprus, 1887–88. Paphos, Leontari, Amargetti
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1888

    Abstract: The immediate publication of the results of an extensive excavation is sometimes very difficult, often impossible. In the present instance the nature and quantity of our discoveries was not such as to preclude this possibility, and therefore we felt that we should best consult the interests of the archaeological public in making all that we can accessible in the number of the Journal of Hellenic Studies appearing after the conclusion of our season's work. The Report published by the Cyprus Exploration Fund has served to indicate the manner and attainments of our excavations; but it seemed desirable to publish at once all the material which has been gained for the advance of historical, archaeological, and artistic knowledge. For this purpose we have divided that material amongst ourselves; and while each of us is individually responsible for the section he has undertaken, we trust that we have so divided the field that our accounts may be found to mutually explain and supplement one another. We have attempted no more than to add such comments to the facts as were necessary for their due comprehension. If we had wished to finally systematize the whole of our results, or to deduce from them more remote inferences as to the history or institutions of Cyprus, we could not have published them so soon. This larger task may afterwards be completed either by others or by ourselves. At present our desire is to place on record the material available for its accomplishment.

    A Roman Writing Tablet from Somerset
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1956

    Details
    In: Journal of Roman Studies, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 46, No. 1-2 ( 1956-11), p. 115-118
    Abstract: The find in Roman Britain of a Latin writing tablet bearing a still legible ink inscription is of so unusual a nature that it has seemed worthwhile to offer a provisional account of it to readers of the Journal . It is probable that more of the text will eventually prove readable than I have managed to decipher; for I have failed to obtain a continuous text. Apart from the difficulties inherent in reading Latin cursive writing, the faintness at many places of the ink, discoloration of the surface, and above all, the frequently misleading horizontal grain of the wood offer obstacles that I have failed to surmount. It is also possible that laboratory treatment will succeed at some future date in separating the ink more clearly from its background, at least for photographic purposes. Experiments to achieve this are in progress, but they must inevitably proceed cautiously and therefore slowly. I believe, however, that enough of the writing has been made out to establish with reasonable certainty the type of text concerned, and that further success in decipherment, while it will fill in details, will not change the essential framework into which those details are to be fitted. It has seemed right, in consequence, not to delay longer but to submit the results achieved so far to the judgment of colleagues and hope that their criticisms and suggestions will make good the writer's failings. The accompanying plate (XII) will supply a means of check and supplement.

    Discoveries in Asia Minor
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1888

    Details
    In: The Journal of Hellenic Studies, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 9 ( 1888-11), p. 82-87
    Abstract: At the commencement of our cruise along the south coast of Asia Minor we first touched at Capo Krio and examined closely the tombs in the neighbourhood of Cnidos, which were constructed on rising ground about two miles to the east of the ancient town. Most of them were about 20 ft. square; some built entirely of polygonal masonry, others with the sides in polygonal masonry and the fronts in square-cut stones. Along this front ran a narrow line of square-cut stones on which in most cases traces of inscriptions appeared, but owing to the nature of the stone almost all the letters were defaced with the exception of the following: …. ΤΑΣΣΑΣΕΡΜ. ΑΣ. … In the upper chambers were many grave altars and memorial tablets; in two graves we found altars with snakes represented as coiled around them, and in another an altar with the ordinary bull's head and garland decoration, bearing the inscription ΟΔΑΜΟΣ (ἀνέθηκεν). Proceeding along Capo Krio to the point where the land contracts into a narrow isthmus we found traces of other tombs which have lately been exposed to view by the washing away of the soil by a winter's flood. In these tombs have been found many small marble figures similar to those I found at Antiparos and described in this Journal (vol. v. p. 50). One represents a figure seated in a chair playing a harp similar to that in the Museum at Athens, which was found at Amorgos, another is of a female figure with a crescent on her head similar to one which I have seen, and which was discovered in the island of Tenos.
