100 Jahre Koldewey-Gesellschaft. Entstehungskontext, Gründung, Geschichte 1926-2026herausgegeben für die Koldewey-Gesellschaft von Ursula Quatember und Elke RichterWien 2026ISBN 978-3-85161-336-0606 S./pp., zahlr. Farb- u. SW-Abb. / num. colour and b/w-figs., 25,7 x 18,2 cm; kartoniert/hardcover100 Jahre Koldewey-Gesellschaft – das bedeutet einerseits das runde Jubiläum einer Vereinigung, welche die Disziplinen der Archäologischen und Historischen Bauforschung durch Vernetzung, wissenschaftlichen Austausch und die Vertretung der Fachinteressen wesentlich mitgeprägt hat, von diesen aber auch geprägt wurde. Es bedeutet gleichzeitig mehr als ein Jahrhundert baugeschichtlicher Forschung, in der die Koldewey-Gesellschaft ein wichtiger ›Player‹ neben anderen war und ist. Zunächst wird der historische Kontext der 1920er Jahre erläutert, der zur Gründung der Koldewey-Gesellschaft führte und ohne den die Vorgänge nicht verständlich wären. Die Gründung der Gesellschaft 1926 in Bamberg wurde maßgeblich von den einzelnen Akteuren, ihrer Rolle in der Bauforschung und ihren Beziehungen geprägt, sodass die Gründungsmitglieder im zweiten Kapitel im Vordergrund stehen. Doch auch sie waren wiederum geprägt von ihren Lehrern und akademischen Umgebungen, auf die im dritten Kapitel eingegangen wird. Die Koldewey-Gesellschaft als Institution – ihre Satzung, die Namenswahl, die Mitgliederentwicklung und die Anliegen der Gesellschaft in den 1920er und 1930er Jahren werden in Kapitel 4 und zwei Exkursen kurz sowie in Kapitel 5 näher betrachtet. Parallel zum Heranwachsen einer neuen Generation von Forschenden kam es zum Erstarken des Nationalsozialismus. Der Rolle einzelner Gesellschaftsmitglieder in dieser Zeit sowie der unter ideologischen Vorzeichen erfolgten Bedrohung des wissenschaftlichen Ansatzes in der archäologischen Forschung, was Ulrich Klein als ›prähistorische Wende‹ bezeichnet, ist ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet. Der letzte Abschnitt der historischen Betrachtungen widmet sich der Gesellschaft in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Dabei wird zunächst die Wiedergründungsphase nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg beleuchtet, um darauf aufbauend die Vereinsstruktur, die Akteure und die Aktivitäten bis ungefähr 1990 darzustellen.

Zeev Weiss, Sepphoris. A Mosaic of CulturesJerusalem 2025ISBN 978-965-217-474-1311 S./pp., zahlr. Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 28 x 21 cm; kartoniert/hardcoverIn the heart of the Lower Galilee, 5 kilometers west of Nazareth, lie the remains of Sepphoris, longtime capital of the Galilee in antiquity. Hellenistic Sepphoris had a rural appearance. Its newly acquired status as a polis, replete with typical Roman-style civic buildings and institutions, changed the face of this Galilean city after the Great Revolt against Rome and later. Owing to its newfound wealth and prosperous economy, Sepphoris grew significantly, with a population that peaked at 15 to 20 thousand inhabitants. By the end of the first or early second century, the city expanded its boundaries and boasted public buildings and private dwellings that followed Roman guidelines. Sepphoris retained this layout throughout late antiquity, however in the course of the seventh century, when its magnificent buildings were destroyed and abandoned and its population waned, the city dwindled to a small town or large village. The wealth of evidence emerging from Sepphoris, one of the major Galilean settlements that nurtured the creation of part of the rabbinic literary corpus, illustrates the glorious past of this large and prosperous city that housed a mosaic of cultures. The wide spectrum of its architectural features, artistic expressions, and small finds, combined with the information culled from epigraphic and literary sources, afford abundant insights into the relationship between Jewish society and Graeco-Roman culture and how the local population conducted its affairs in a period of transition and change - from Rome to Byzantium and from paganism to Christianity. Consequently, major concerns raised only a decade or two ago regarding the nature of the Galilean city have now given way to in-depth discussions not only about Sepphoris and its population, but also about urbanism, art, and architecture in ancient Palestine.

Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 21 x 15 cm; broschiert/softcoverPaul’s Anatolian Harbors features the sea journeys of Saint Paul. Born in the port town of Tarsus, he experienced travel by ship from his youth. Each journey mentioned in the book of Acts had a maritime component as Paul sailed from harbor to harbor along the Mediterranean and Aegean coastlines. From Anatolia, he also sailed to and from the Roman provinces of Syria, Judea, Macedonia, Achaia, and finally to Rome itself. This guidebook introduces various aspects of nautical life in the first century: the ships, the crews, the shipwrecks. Using ancient authors, inscriptions, coins, and mosaics, the history of each harbor is brought to life. Colorful photographs, informative site plans, and descriptive maps amply illustrate the volume.

Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 23,5 x 16,5 cm; broschiert/softcoverAs a result of excavations launched in 1906 at the Hittite capital of Hattusa, thousands of cuneiform tablets and tablet fragments have been unearthed to this day. With Bedrich Hrozny’s decipherment of the Hittite language in 1915, philological studies on Hittite texts – the oldest known Indo-European language – gained significant momentum; starting in 1921, the tablets that had been recovered began to be published systematically. At present, approximately 95% of the Boğazköy tablet corpus has been published; however, studies aimed at both re-evaluating previously published texts and examining newly discovered documents continue uninterrupted to this day. This volume contains copies (drawings) and photographs of a total of 34 cuneiform tablet fragments of Boğazköy-Hattuša origin, currently preserved in the museums of Çorum and İzmir, along with philological and content-based evaluations of these fragments. Primarily aimed at cuneiform specialists and researchers working on Hittite history, this study contributes new material to the ongoing scholarly debates regarding the Boğazköy archive and helps expand the framework for interpreting the texts. 

Alexis Wick – Matthew Harpster – Alexis Rappas (eds.), Aquatic Worlds of Anatolia.Istanbul 2026ISBN 978-625-8520-04-0148 S./pp.; zahlr. Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 26 x 19 cm; broschiert/softcoverIn placing Anatolia at the center of inquiry, this volume offers a distinct contribution to wider conversations on environmental history, the technopolitics of infrastructure, and the spatial humanities. By charting the deep and varied histories of aquatic life-worlds, it seeks to situate water not as a universal medium, but as a regionally embedded substance, always shaped by – and shaping – the particular terrains, temporalities, and tensions of a particular place. This volume brings together researchers engaged in the study of the Anatolian past from an aquatic perspective, placing at the center of the analytical frame the many seas, rivers, lakes, and wetlands, which make up the space but remain too often overlooked in the writing of its history. Indeed, the very idea of Anatolia tends to be associated with land and its many attributes – the figure of the peasant, the pure language, the ideal village, the terroir, the national territory, etc. In fact, many of these symbols connote places even deeper inland in central Asia, farther and farther away from the aquatic landscapes – sometimes veritable seascapes and riverscapes – that define Anatolia intimately. In contrast to this conventional view, we propose that Anatolia’s particular space, probably more than most geographical units, has been profoundly marked, indeed forever scarred, by the aquatic element: water delineates its perimeter and constitutes its body.

Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 26 x 19 cm; broschiert/softcoverPlaces of Illness, Spaces for Healing: The Built Environment of Healthcare in Anatolia Through the Ages explores the intersections of spatiality, healing, illness, and healthcare architecture in Anatolia and its surrounding geographies from Antiquity to modern times. The volume addresses several themes and issues in critical medical and health humanities including the relationship between nature and health, therapeutic landscapes, sensory, ritualistic, and performative dynamics of healing environments, and the role of water in healthcare architecture, spaces, and places of healing. The 16 authors who have contributed chapters to this volume come from diverse disciplines and scholarly traditions and use a great variety of evidence in their research, ranging from material remains and hospital building plans to written documents, oral histories, and the imagined spaces of novels. Welcoming this highly inclusive approach to sources and methodologies, this volume demonstrates that healing and illness happen(ed) both within and outside hospital walls and in many places and spaces, such as the home, baths, gardens, and sites of ritual and religious practices. While contributing to the development of medical and health humanities in Türkiye and beyond, Places of Illness, Spaces for Healing: The Built Environment of Healthcare in Anatolia Through the Ages expands our current understanding and definitions of healthcare architecture and places and spaces of healing and illness in an important region of the world.

Oğuz Tekin,Roma ve Bizans Dünyasında Para. Tarihi Sikkelerden OkumakIstanbul 2025ISBN 978-625-6230-95-8XXII + 700 S./pp., zahlr. Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 24 x 16,5 cm; broschiert/softcoverCoins are among the most important archaeological and historical sources for reading, understanding, and writing history. In this book, which examines coins from the Roman and Byzantine worlds, four main categories stand out: Roman coins, coins from Roman colonies, city coins minted under Roman rule, and Byzantine coins. The period covered spans approximately 1,800 years, from the late 4th century BCE, when the Romans began minting and using coins, to the coins of the last Byzantine Emperor, Constantine XI (1449–1453). This book, on the one hand, presents the economic, political, socio-cultural, religious, and mythological traces left by the states that shaped the Mediterranean region, accompanied by a wealth of visual material; on the other hand, it is designed to offer something of interest to anyone curious about coins. The book does not focus solely on coins; it also aims to paint a historical, political, social, cultural, and economic picture of the era through the depictions, symbols, and inscriptions found on coins, and to demonstrate how crucial coins are in understanding this picture. Readers will explore the atmosphere spanning a wide range of topics – including politics, culture, beliefs, the pantheon of gods, mythology, and symbols – in the Roman and Byzantine worlds, accompanied by hundreds of visuals. Furthermore, the book addresses the numismatic methodology required by history and archaeology students, including the reading and interpretation of coin legends, the analysis of depictions known as “types,” and the interpretation of symbols – that is, identification and classification.

My purpose for the preparation of my Ph.D. thesis is to study one of the most conservative element in the ancient Greek civilization: religion and the history of cults. For this reason, I decided to visit the two islands (Crete and Rhodes) and two Rhodio-Cretan colonies of Sicily (Gela and Akragas), attempting to reconstruct, through direct and indirect sources, the Pantheon and influence received by the colonies from the metropolis during the formation of cults. The first part begins with a brief historical and geographical description of the island of Rhodes, in the next chapter continues the analysis of the various cults in three cities (Lindos, Kamiros and Ialysos) prior to the Synoikismos in the late fifth century BC. I concentrated the until now published epigraphic and numismatic material relating to the worship in the three Rhodian cities and with the help of ancient sources, I established a framework of three pantheons. The second part is devoted to Crete. From many historians it did attention to "great island with one hundred cities" and, although it seems relatively easy to collect the published material from various archaeological missions in the island, it is very difficult to grasp. For this reason were specific geographical constraints. Following the likely course of Rhodes settlers to the West, the list of Archaic Cretan cities included 18 sites (Azoria, Aptera, Arcades, Axos, Dreros, Eleutherna, Gortyn, Itanos, Knossos, Cydonia, Lato, Lyktos, Polyrrhenia, Praisos, Prinias, Sybritos, Phaistos, Phalasarna). For everyone, as for Rhodes, I prepared a brief historical-geographical layout and a text on the history of research, then I investigated for a reconstitution of the pantheon. Particular emphasis was given to the cities of the plain of Messara, in south-central part of the island, exactly where is the settlers who founded Gela (and Akragas) came from. The third part is dedicated to Sicily. In the introductory chapter, I briefly described the phenomenon of Greek colonization and its effect on cultures of the island, and possible relations of the colonists with local indigenous cults (especially Sicanic and Siculian). The second and third chapter are devoted to Rhodes-Cretan colonies of Gela and Agrigento, respectively. First was a brief mention in the history of each city and then I described the course of investigations, followed a brief topographical and urban analysis. Then, I looked into the cult through written sources and archaeological finds. Where it was possible, I taken account of the epigraphic and numismatic sources as supporting research. In the fourth part, I exposed my final conclusions. The inquiry into the Siceliot religion necessarily give weight to the Greek character, undoubtedly with some features and a strong sense of syncretism and development, characteristics of border communities. Relations with the Pan-Hellenic sanctuaries and the so-called “voyages d’images” through trade of pottery were two figures clearly indicate the colonial imprint on Greek pantheon, where he no doubt the cult status of the Delphic Apollo, along with that feeling and spread the individual settler. Among the factors that contributed to the evolution of the religious dimension in Siceliot cities, there were definitely the arrive of other colonists, the politic of tyrants or various commercial relationships and alliances. An interesting feature that characterized most cults of Sicily was the vocation to the "chthonic mysticism" which pushed the population to be directed more towards the mystery cults than to citizens. Whether this is an example of indigenous influence on Greek religion, as claimed by Manni, or a Minoan or Mycenaean heritage that the colonists were able to revive in order to legitimize their rule on the island, unlike believed by Pugliese Carratelli, undoubtedly never the Siceliot religiosity left the bottom of the Greeks, maintaining solid ties with the major Pan-Hellenic sanctuaries (primarily to Olympia and Delphi), where the cities, especially those ruled by tyrants, clothing with the finest clothes to impress others with their wealth pilgrims and power. In conclusion, multi-functionality and syncretism are, in my opinion, the indispensable key to the interpretation of Sicilian cults. If it is true that religion, in the difficult and long process formation of the Greek nation, was an increasingly obvious cohesive factor, as shown by recent studies in recent decades mainly in Crete, and also served as an excellent vehicle to radiation of Hellenism all the coasts of the Mediterranean basin. This shows the temples and shrines which still look deserted us, but no longer silent, after those ages.

Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 23,5 x 16 cm; kartoniert/hardcoverBetween Text and Monument: Unveiling the Architectural Historiography of the Temple of Augustus and Roma at Ancyra offers a critical historiographical analysis of the Temple of Augustus and Roma at Ancyra, integrating textual, visual and material sources to examine the monument’s evolving reception from early modern antiquarianism to its place in modern heritage discourse. Through close engagement with original-language documents, travel literature, archaeological reports and epigraphic records, the study reassesses the ways in which the Augusteum has been interpreted and appropriated across shifting political, cultural and ideological landscapes. Emphasising both European and local perspectives, it highlights the role of institutional documentation, preservation initiatives and nationalist frameworks in shaping the temple’s historiography. By foregrounding the interrelations between architectural heritage, historical memory and textual representation, the volume contributes to broader debates in architectural history, classical reception and the politics of cultural heritage.
