The study of emotions has emerged in the last two decades as a major research subject in ancient studies. One of the primary aims of the study of emotions in the context of Greek and Roman Antiquity is to explore the means through which emotions are displayed and aroused, the contexts in which these media were applied, and the aims that they served. These are the themes addressed by the studies assembled in this volume, based on research conducted in association with a research project in Oxford. The subjects discussed by the authors include the use of disgust for the stigmatization and marginalization of individuals and groups; the use of emotions such as anger, pity, hope, fear, and affection for the construction of social hierarchies and political fictions; the various means used for the arousal of emotions in drama, historiography, oratory, and art; emotional aspects in the work of Isocrates, Polybios, and Philostratos; the role of emotions in rhetorical training, court dramas, petitions, and magic; and the display and arousal of emotions in ancient pantomime.

La praefectura fabrum era una posizione istituzionale affidata su base fiduciaria dai magistrati cum imperio, figure apicali della politica romana. Indipendentemente dalle mansioni dei prefetti, definite dai loro deleganti, l'incarico dimostrava l'esistenza di vincoli di lealtà personale e politica fra magistrati curuli e personalità dei municipi, delle colonie e delle province. Per profilo e funzioni, la prefettura era dunque uno strumento ideale per stringere e consolidare relazioni fra le classi proprietarie dell'Urbe e quelle della "periferia".Questo libro affronta in modo sistematico la documentazione relativa alla prefettura dei fabri, dalla sua più antica attestazione, nel II sec. a. C., all'età severiana e ne esamina l'evoluzione e la funzione all'interno del mutevole sistema istituzionale e politico romano. Il volume è arricchito da un ampio catalogo prosopografico dedicato ai prefetti attestati. Ampio spazio è dedicato al ruolo dei prefetti nel contesto socio-politico ad essi contemporaneo e alla posizione della praefectura fabrum nella cultura e nella prassi politiche delle élites (urbane e non), evidenziandone l'importanza per il governo dell'Impero.

Pārsa, approximately corresponding to the modern-day Iranian province of Fars, can reasonably be considered to occupy a prominent place in the history of Ancient Iran. Indeed, it was the heartland of the Persian empires of the Teispids, Achaemenids and Sasanians. The spectacular archaeological remains of Fars are well known – we need only think, for example, of the monumental remains of Persepolis. Much less is known about life outside of the royal palaces and about human-environment interactions in this region. In recent decades, a new interest in socio-environmental issues in the humanities, the use of innovative scientific methods in archaeology, and the rapid expansion of the field of paleoenvironmental studies have vastly increased the potential for investigating this topic from an interdisciplinary perspective. The contributions to this volume are the result of a scholarly effort to investigate the landscape and society of ancient Fars using an integrative approach, which benefits from the contributions from the humanities and the natural and technological sciences.

Welche Prozesse, Praktiken und Medien ermöglichten es antiken Gesellschaften, Grenzen und Übergänge zu definieren und zu reflektieren? Wie wurden sie sichtbar und wahrnehmbar, und somit auch verhandelbar gemacht? Mit welchen Mitteln wurden Übergänge konstruiert?Als Weiterentwicklung des von Victor W. Turner kulturwissenschaftlich etablierten Begriffs der Liminalität betont der Begriff der Liminalisierung das Prozesshafte von Grenzziehungen und -überschreitungen. Er lenkt so den Blick auf die kulturellen und sozialen Dynamiken der Herstellung, Wahrnehmung und Verhandlung von Übergangszuständen und Schwellenbereichen. Die Autorinnen und Autoren untersuchen in ihren Beiträgen, die vom Klassischen Griechenland bis in die Spätantike reichen, sowohl konkret räumliche als auch soziale und kategoriale Übergänge und Schwellen in verschiedenen Textgattungen antiker Kulturen.

Zu Beginn des 7. Jahrhunderts kämpfte das Imperium Romanum um seine Existenz. Nach jahrelangem intensivem Ringen gelang ihm am Vorabend der arabischen Expansion noch einmal der Triumph über äußere Feinde und innere Krisen. Theresia Raum fragt nach den Bedingungen und Folgen dieses Überlebenskampfes und zeigt dabei auf, wie sich Kaisertum und Reich unter dem Druck der Bedrohung veränderten. Während der Kaiser mit verschiedenen Strategien auf den enormen Handlungsdruck zu reagieren suchte und dabei das Rollenbild eines soldatischen Kaisers annahm, verschob sich das politische Kräfteverhältnis zugunsten anderer Akteure wie dem Senat oder dem Patriarchen. Gleichzeitig richteten sich gesellschaftliche Erwartungshaltungen im Sinne eines gestiegenen Frömmigkeitsbedürfnisses neu aus und stellten den Kaiser damit wiederum vor die Herausforderung, seinen Platz im politischen System zu finden und zu behaupten. In kompakter Form macht die Darstellung mit den Ereignissen jener existenzbedrohenden Phase vertraut und leuchtet die Handlungsspielräume zentraler Akteure behutsam aus.
