Based on the author's doctoral dissertation, this large volume presents data and interpretation on the archaeology of Punic Malta, c.900BC to c.AD200. Sagona focuses in particular on the developmental sequence and chronology of Punic pottery, outlining the various types and clay sources, and the nature and distribution of tombs, along with their contents (such as jewellery, coins, figurines, metal, glass, bone and ivory objects).

The god Tutu is known to have existed before the Ptolemaic period in Egypt and is recorded in Greek, Demotic and Roman documents, and featured on a range of monuments and stelae. This book presents a detailed study of Tutu exploring his origins and the development and spread of his cult. Represented as a striding sphinx with a crown of ostrich feathers and a pair of ram's horns, he appears on a number of stelae, as relief decoration and as statues. Here, Kaper devotes chapters to investigating the names and titles of Tutu, exploring his iconography, and presents a definition of his characteristics, his role and place among the pantheon of gods. Kaper traces the development of the cult of Tutu, demonstrating that it was prevalent for more than 800 years and, in the Ptolemaic period, increasingly linked with the god Amun-Re. A catalogue of 185 representations of Tutu is given at the end.

Augustus' Res Gestae , inscribed on two pillars at the entrance to the emperor's tomb, is a unique text that still provokes debate concerning its translation and interpretation. This detailed study looks back over four hundred years of research, focusing in particularly on the rivalry between the English, French and Germans to produce the first definitive edition during the 18th and 19th centuries. Ridley then discusses the editions and interpretations of the last century before turning his attention to the text itself. After an examination of parallel texts, Ridley offers his own translation of the Res Gestae with an extensive commentary. He focuses on difficult and controversial sections and shows that, despite the vehement protestations of past commentators, the text is rife with Augustus' lies.

by Sean G Byrne This volume presents a Register of `all Athenians and residents of Athens who bear nomina gentilica . The nomen indicated that these citizens of Athens were also citizens of a far larger world, the Roman empire, to which that citizen had ultimately dedicated his identity. The Register is organised in alphabetical order by nomen and, within each nomen , in order of tribe. Family members are grouped together.

The large collections of antiquities reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the island of Malta have largely remained unpublished until now. This large volume provides a good introduction to the process of cultural change in Maltese history, as well as discussing the background to antiquarian collecting and their collections. Although much of the material is of Punic date, the 303 page illustrated catalogue includes a range of figurines and miscellaneous objects from eight major collections, although for the most part the catalogue comprises ceramic material. A companion to Segona's The Archaeology of Punic Malta (Peeters 2002).

The 15 papers in this volume, delivered to an international conference held at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in the Fall of 2001, offer a systematic investigation into Polybius's many critiques and attempt to assess their potentially distortive effects. The historian of Megalopolis emerges as a towering personality who has cast a long shadow over the badly damaged landscape of Hellenistic historiography.

Unlike the Seleukid's the Ptolemies did not at first glance create numerous eye-catching cities. However evidence can be found of settlement of Macedonian Greeks in more rural areas, and Katja Mueller makes it plain that the Ptolemies did have a settlement policy, focusing her attention on the plethora of surviving demotic papyri, and analysing Hellenistic toponyms rather than relying on the literary sources.

The sixth international colloquium devoted to the Iron Age of Anatolia was convened at Eskisehir, Turkey, between 16-20 August 2004. As for previous such meetings, the ultimate goal of the Eskisehir gathering was to stimulate academic discussion and pique the curiosity of researchers whose interest lie primarily in the first half of the first millennium BC. The exchange of information and ideas was greatly facilitated by tours to sites that formed the perfect backdrop for many discussions and brought into sharper focus the issues raised by some of the papers. In publishing the revised version of the Eskisehir papers, we hope that this volume will serve as a useful survey on a wide range of critical issues - cultural, historical, chronological and geographical - that are currently shaping archaeological discourse on Iron Age Anatolia.
