Hellenistic History
This marble inscription is part of ten steles whic This marble inscription is part of ten steles which detail the accounts of the city of Athens during the renovations of the city walls that connected the city with tthe harbour of Piraeus between 395/4 and 392/1 BC. The inscriptions makes note of the workings of the first year. To ensure the safety of Athenian supplies during war times, new cities walls were built on either side of the road which connected the city with the harbour at the start of the fifth century BC. After about a century these were destroyed and subsequently restored: the new walls were built in stone. The accounts as shown above, make it clear which works were concucted at what time, by whom and for what price. This fragment mainly discusses the placement of thousands of bricks. The expenses are split into drachms and obols. The dating of the inscription is expressed in the traditional Athenian way: by mentioning the name of the archon, the magistrate in charge. #piraeus #epigraphy #epigraphical #greekepigraphy #inscriptions #inscription #greekinscription #drachms #greekepigraphics #athens #greece #acropolis #athenian #greek #hellenistichistory #acropolisathens #greekhistory #ancientgreece #greekhistory #ancientathens #archaeology #archaeological #archaeologist #hellenisticgram

This is part five in the series on the connection of myth and politics! This time we try to answer these questions: who were these stories for? What kinds of kinship claims were employed?

This is one of the so-called Fayum portraits. Thes This is one of the so-called Fayum portraits. These were mummy portraits of men and women, painted directly onto wet plaster and then put on directly on the face of the deceased. These portraits were made shortly after death. This particular portrait shows a young woman wearing tunic and magenta mantle. She has put on sole exquisite pieces of jewellery: gold and Pearl earrings, a golden necklace and another one made of gold and emerald. Her hair is styled in the same way as that of empress Faustina the Younger, the wife of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. This would put date of this portrait around 160-181. It was found in Hawara in Egypt. #galloromanmuseum #history #ancientgreece #ancienthistory #ancientegypt #fayum #fayumportraits #archaeology #ancient #hellenistichistory #romanegypt
This lizard was made during the Hellenistic period This lizard was made during the Hellenistic period from bronze, wood and glasspaste. The little model is placed on a painted piece of wood and looks so lifelike that a real lizard could have been used for the creation of the mould. In the wood there is a hole with something inside, presumably these are the remains of a real lizard which this one would commemorate. #history #animals #lizard #hellenisticsculpture #hellenisricperiod #hellenistic #hellenisticgreek #hellenistichistory #statuette #ancienthistory #ancient #archaeology #archaeologic #archaeologist #hellenisticgram
Is this a statue of Cleopatra VII? This lime stone Is this a statue of Cleopatra VII? This lime stone portrait of a woman dates between 50 and 30 BC and shows several similarities to a known portraits of the last of the Ptolemies on coins. Her nose, chin and eyes look very similar but she is not wearing the royal diadem or famous hairstyle. It could possibly be one of the women from her entourage who was immortalised in stone after the queen’s visit to Rome in 44 BC. Or maybe she is a Roman women who became entranced by Egypt after Cleopatra passed through Rome. This piece, originally at the British Museum, is now in the Gallo-Roman Museum in Tongeren as part of the ‘Face to face with the Romans’, which I visited yesterday. #history #rome #roman #greece #ancienthistory #archaeology #archaeological #hellenistichistory #hellenisticage #hellenisticperiod #ptolemies #ptolemaic #cleopatra #cleopatraVII #hellenistickingdoms #facetofacewiththeromans #ooginoogmetderomeinen #galloromeinsmuseum
