Cartography of the archaeological surveys taken from an Ikonos stereo-pair: a case study of the territory of Hierapolis in Phrygia (Turkey)

The paper analyses methods and issues connected with the elaboration of Ikonos stereo high-resolution satellite images to create a large-scale cartography for archaeological research. This methodology has been used on an area of the ancient territory of Hierapolis in Phrygia (Turkey), where archaeological surveys, developed by the Italian Archaeological Mission, are in progress. In particular, the study area is situated between the modern villages of Yeniköy and Küçükdereköy, for which neither cartographies suitable for ground surveys nor aerophotogrammetrical covers were available. In this area there are a lot of archaeological remains; in particular, a large Hellenistic and Roman settlement and its necropolises, and also an old Turkish settlement, now destroyed. An Ikonos image was ortho-rectified to obtain a space-map of the entire area. It was used to extract vectorial thematic elements (modern topography, hydrology, archaeological remains and traces, etc.) for the production of maps for archaeological research in the tolerances of a 1:10,000 scale.

La Translatio Philippi : survie ou seconde mort de Philippe ?

The Translatio Philippi was edited by M. R. James in 1893 (Apocrypha Anecdota, p. 158-163) on the basis of a witness from the twelfth century and of a palimpsest from 935. In both manuscripts, the story of the Martyrdom of Philip is followed, without any break, by the translation of the relics of the apostle, but internal criticism can show that this is not the earliest form of that. The Translation does not deal with the encratism of the Martyrdom, nor with any of its characters, except the apostle John which role changes decisively. This study will illustrate how the author of the Translation found the name of an imaginary Ophioryme in the Martyrdom and built a fictional account of translation of relics, which aims not only at bringing Philip to Hierapolis in Phrygia, his traditional burial place, but mainly at confirming the veneration of Philippe from an orthodox point of view.

La carriera di un cittadino di Hierapolis di Frigia : G. Memmios Eutychos

Oggetto di questo studio è un’ iscrizione onoraria da Hierapolis di Frigia, databile al regno di Caracalla. Il documento permette di appurare la data della concessione di un tempio provinciale del culto imperiale a questa città e contiene inoltre la menzione di una lunga serie di funzioni pubbliche svolte dal personaggio onorato, G. Memmios Eutychos, una parte delle quali non era finora documentata a Hierapolis. Fra le parti più interessanti dell’iscrizione possiamo menzionare la carica di alitarca, che era qui collegata agli agoni pitici, e non, come di solito, alle feste olimpiche. Memmios Eutychos era stato presidente del Consiglio municipale e dell’associazione dei cittadini romani residenti nella città ; apprendiamo anche che egli aveva inviato a proprie spese un soldato all’imperatore e che più volte aveva svolto compiti relativi all’annona imperiale.

Epictetus and the Imperial Court

What we know of Roman political life under the early Empire we owe mostly to senatorial writers, and to an eques, Suetonius; a single Imperial freedman, Phlegon of Tralles, has left some scraps of information about the Court in his own time and before. It is therefore worth paying some attention when we have a lengthy text which reproduces the observations on human life and fortune of a man who was himself the slave of an Imperial freedman. Epictetus has been little used as a historical source; it is the aim of this paper to bring out both the extent and the value of his references to Roman society and politics in his own time.Before we can assess the value of these references, we must examine both the experience on which they are based and the authenticity of the text in which they occur. Epictetus originated from Hierapolis in Phrygia; according to an inscription he was born a slave. Either by birth or sale, he belonged to Epaphroditus, the freedman and a libellis of Nero, who after Nero's death survived unharmed until relegated, and then (in 95) executed, by Domitian. Whether Epaphroditus remained a libellis under the Flavians is not clear, though the likelihood is that he did not. This view would be supported if we could be sure that it was the same Epaphroditus who encouraged Josephus in the writing of his Antiquitates, completed in 93–4.
