JRA LATEST NEWS

APHRODISIAS PAPERS 4 (supplement 70) has just been published. A lavish book of 395 pages with over 340 illustrations, printed on an 80 # Gloss sheet, it contains 15 chapters with much new material from the last decade of work. One highlight is R. R. R. Smith, “Sarcophagi and Roman citizenship”, linking marble sarcophagi with the new status for hundreds of new Aurelii. “The sarcophagi suggest that there were perceived to be real symbolic advantages in the citizenship...  The elaborate carved designs of the sarcophagi celebrate the honour of the newly acquired status of civis Romanus.” The book also contains full studies of major monuments such as the Civil Basilica, the Bouleuterion, and the City Walls, as well as a detailed study of the Founding of Aphrodisias and several studies of sculpture, including a statue of Julia Hera Sebaste (Livia), gladiatorial reliefs, portraits statues of boxers, and figural table supports.

The ANNUAL JOURNAL VOLUME 21 (2008), in two fascicules, is now mostly in proofs.  Publication is scheduled for the end of November. The list price is $140, plus post. The price for individual subscribers will continue to be approximately $70, plus post. One highlight is P. L. Tucci, “Galen’s storeroom, Rome’s libraries, and the fire of A.D. 192”, drawing upon a new manuscript of Galen. Some important reviews will be posted on this site in advance of publication.

Just added! An index of all reviews ever published by JRA.
