From the Fjords to the Nile brings together essays by students and colleagues of Richard Holton Pierce (b. 1935), presented on the occasion of his 80th birthday. It covers topics on the ancient world and the Near East. Pierce is Professor Emeritus of Egyptology at the University of Bergen. Starting out as an expert in Egyptian languages, and of law in Greco-Roman Egypt, his professional interest has spanned from ancient Nubia and Coptic Egypt, to digital humanities and game theory. His contributions as scholar, teacher, supervisor and informal advisor to Norwegian studies in Egyptology, classics, archaeology, history, religion, and linguistics through more than five decades can hardly be overstated.

Long-Distance Trade in the Ancient World

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

This book presents a novel perspective on long-distance trade in the ancient world that integrates network theory and environmental analysis into our understandings of production, movement and exchange in the so-called Long Classical Millennium (c.300 BCE – 900 BCE).This approach departs from traditional Eurocentric perspectives that have tended to focus primarily on empires and imperial agency as the dominant analytical category, arguing instead that environmental factors played a much greater role in influencing the formation of trade routes during this period. Written in an accessible style, chapters seek to integrate and synthesise recent developments from global history, network studies, economic history and critical geography, offering new ways for scholars to examine the growth of this proto-globalised economic system. By examining the networks of people, places, animals, and things that came together in order to connect ancient Africa and Eurasia, the author de-centers any one group or region to instead foreground the environmental dynamics of ancient trade. This book will be a fascinating resource for scholars and students of ancient and global history, as well as ancient economic and environmental historians, archaeologists, and more.

The third century is often seen as a period of crisis in the Roman world, marked by political upheaval, violence, war, religious strife, hyperinflation, climatic instability, pandemics, and border incursions. These troubled times, however, coincided with the peak of Palmyra's prosperity. They encompassed the Syrian city's drift towards centralised rulership and short-lived political hegemony in the Near East, as well as its reach for imperial power and downfall in the years 270-272 CE. How can this discrepancy between metropolitan crisis and peripheral prosperity be explained? Along with experts on different aspects of Palmyra, this volume gathers contributions from leading scholars working with the Roman Empire, and with neighbouring regions inside and beyond the imperial borders. Highlighting parallels, discrepancies, connections, and disconnections between developments in Palmyra and other parts of the world with which Palmyra interacted, the aim is a more critical, detailed, and nuanced understanding of the situation in the Roman Near East in the third century CE.
