SUMMARY:New Discoveries in the Jewish and Early Christian Catacombs of Rome
DESCRIPTION:The catacombs of ancient Rome form the single most important source of information concerning the rise of Christianity from an archaeological point of view. This lecture focuses on exciting new results produced by a science-based approach to these materials\, as performed within the framework of a recently concluded international project based at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. It discusses the results and historical ramifications of a series of radiocarbon datings in the Jewish and early Christian catacombs of Rome by seeking to answer such questions as: What does the fact that the Jewish catacombs antedate the Christian ones tell us about Jewish-Christian relationships in the very center of the Roman Empire? By then elaborating on the evidence produced by stable isotope analysis and several other research techniques\, this lecture also delves into the harsh demographic realities that Jews and Christians alike were facing during the first centuries of the Common Era. In an attempt to bring back to life the common folk that lie buried in the endless and pitch-dark subterranean galleries of the catacombs\, I will argue that there is very little in the archaeology of these monumental sites that lends support to more optimistic notions about the rise of Christianity such as those proposed\, most prominently\, by Rodney Stark.\nThis lecture is sponsored by the UC Multi-Campus Research Group in Late Antiquity in cooperation with the UCSB Ancient Mediterranean Studies Program. \njwil 02.xi.2011

SUMMARY:From Imperial Capital to Polis: Sardis from the Lydians to the Hellenistic Period
DESCRIPTION:Nicholas Cahill is Professor of Art History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Director of the Sardis Expedition.\nDuring the seventh and sixth centuries BCE\,  the Lydians\, a native Anatolian culture located in what is now western Turkey\, established the first empire in this region since the Bronze Age. As they conquered Greek cities along the Aegean coast and native peoples inland\, the Lydians established a border between the great civilizations of the Near East and the emerging western identity in Greece. In consequence\, they became both the most generous patrons of Greek sanctuaries and sages\, and paradigms to the Greeks of wealthy but disordered and ignorant barbarians. \nThis event is sponsored by the Department of the History of Art & Architecture\, the Ancient Mediterranean Studies program\, and Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group. \njwil 02.ii.2012
