Dionysos in Classical Athens
Dionysos, with his following of satyrs and women, was a major theme in a big part of the figure painted pottery in 500-300 B.C. Athens. As an original testimonial of their time, the imagery on these vases convey what this god meant to his worshippers. It becomes clear that he was not only appropriate for wine, wine indulgence, ecstasy and theatre. Rather, he was presenton many, both happy and sad, occasions. The vase painters have emphasized different aspects of Dionysos for their customers inside and outside of Athens, depending on the political and cultural situation.

Cleopatra of Egypt
Fabled for her sexual allure and cunning intelligence, Cleopatra VII of Egypt has fascinated generations of admirers and detractors since her tumultuous life ended in suicide on Octavians' capture of Egypt in 30 BC. The last of the Ptolemaic monarchs who had ruled Egypt as Hellenistic Greek kings and Egyptian pharaohs for 300 years, Cleopatra created her own mythology, becoming an icon in her own lifetime and even more so after her death. This book explores the ways in which she was depicted in antiquity, within the context of the iconography of contemporary coinage, statues and other images of Egyptian, Greek and Roman rulers, and then examines the image of Cleopatra from the Renaissance to modern times, as seen in plays, opera, painting, ceramics and even jewellery. Exciting new research has revealed seven Egyptian-style statues believed to represent Cleopatra, and two portraits probably commissioned in Rome while she lived there with Julius Caesar.
Roman Imports in the Lower Don Basin
A study, translated from Russian, of Roman imports in the Lower Don Basin, an area north of the Black Sea. These finds have been discovered in burials of the nomadic nobility and date to the first centuries AD when Sarmartian nomads moving westwards came into contact with the Romans, whose empire had expanded onto the north-west shores of the Black Sea. Raev looks at the different types of find and chronology, before discussing the different ways in which these objects came into the possession of the nomads-trade, inter-tribal exchange, diplomatic gifts, payment for services and spoils from raiding.
