The urban development of a city is often closely linked to its fortifications. Comprehensive research, undertaken by a multidisciplinary team from the University of Vienna between 1974 and 2001 in the Lower town of Velia, studied the evolution of the city walls in relation to the urban development of the Phocaean polis on the Tyrrhenian coast and provided new information on the development of the city mainly between the 5th and the 2nd c. BC. The study focused on the architecture of the fortifications as well as on a detailed analysis of the complex stratigraphy and the geology. A major force for the dynamics of urban evolution was ecological factors, mainly due to the instability of the slopes on which the city was built, and due to recurring, destructive sea floods.The contextualization and processing of the finds from these excavations (pottery, small finds and coins) allows for a new, precise dating of the individual periods of the urban development, ultimately changing older approaches. The newly understood relations have implications for the interpretation of the fortifications in other historical and cultural settings, as previously assumed.

“…When faced in 427/6 with the need for massive borrowing at this stage of the war, the polis lowered the interest rate it owed to the gods from 7% to 1.5%. 28) At Rhamnous, twenty years earlier, rates probably would be somewhat higher, and the sanctuary's requirement for suffi cient funds would have prevented the interest rate from being even 25) Th e most likely source of the additional income would be the leasing of more sacred lands belonging to Nemesis, and perhaps occasional fi nes; on such sources of income Whitehead 1986, 163-71;Horster 2004; on leasing public land at Athens Osborne 1988, 281-92. 26) Whitehead 1986, 159;Millett 1991, 98-108, esp.…”

Deme Accounts and the Meaning of <I>hosios</I> Money in Fifth-Century Athens<SUP>*</SUP>

Comparing the accounts of the deme Ikarion (IG I 3 253) with those of Rhamnous (IG I 3 247 bis and 253; IRhamnous 181 and 182) and Plotheia (IG I 3 258), this article argues that the adjective hosios applied to a fund in Ikarion indicates that this money was dêmosios and to be used in a way pleasing to the gods. Th e longstanding view that hosios when applied to money means 'free for secular use' or 'secular' (e.g. LSJ s.v. ὅσιος) is shown to be unfounded, inviting a reassessment of the meanings of hosios. Th e use of public money for funding cults as attested in these deme accounts sheds new light on public fi nance in classical Athens.

“…17 For example, the basic chronology of events as presented here (oracle consultation is followed by Polyeuctus' decree proposal, which in turn is followed by the εἰσαγγελία trial) is not even wholly accepted: van Lieshout 1980, 176 andHorster 2004, 72 both construct a completely different narrative of these events, alleging that first Polyeuctus proposed his decree, then Euxenippus was ordered to consult the god, and Polyeuctus then disputed the dream by lodging the εἰσαγγελία charge. However, this chronology is illogical and does not accord at all with the narrative as Hyperides describes it.…”

A Dream on Trial

This paper re-examines Hyperides’ speech In Defence of Euxenippus as evidence for the role of divination in fourth-century BCE Athens. The oration recounts an occasion of oracular divination through incubation at Amphiaraos’ sanctuary in Oropos, whereby the Athenian Assembly ordered individuals to undergo incubation to resolve an issue concerning land ownership. This paper argues that Hyperides’ speech not only furnishes crucial evidence which broadens our understanding of divination beyond the famous oracle at Delphi, it also provides us with a valuable case study for the process of oracular consultation. The paper analyses the different stages of this process, including the selection of incubants, the nature of the dream received and the aftermath of incubation, demonstrating how the dream could be contested. It thereby sheds new light on the complexities of oracular transmission and interpretation, both of which are open to contestation as a result of the multiplicity of religious authority.
