The Attalids of Pergamon and Anatolia

Historians have long wondered at the improbable rise of the Attalids of Pergamon after 188 BCE. The Roman-brokered Settlement of Apameia offered a new mapa brittle framework for sovereignty in Anatolia and the eastern Aegean. What allowed the Attalids to make this map a reality and leave their indelible Pergamene imprint on our Classical imagination? In this uniquely comprehensive study of the political economy of the kingdom, Noah Kaye rethinks the impact of Attalid imperialism on the Greek polis and the multicultural character of the dynasty's notorious propaganda. By synthesizing new findings in epigraphy, archaeology, and numismatics, he shows the kingdom for the first time from the inside. The Pergamene way of ruling was a distinctively noncoercive and efficient means of taxing and winning loyalty. Royal tax collectors collaborated with city and village officials on budgets and minting, while the kings utterly transformed the civic space of the gymnasium.

“…na výraznou rozmanitost jejich vzdělávacích koncepcí upozorňuje Stavrouová (2016), v některých případech dokonce nelze ani s určitostí vymezit funkce, jež plnily jednotlivé sály a budovy gymnasiálních komplexů. Tuto situaci ilustruje archeologický výzkum gymnasia ve městě Noto na jihovýchodě Sicílie (Trümper, 2018), kde dosud není zřejmé, zda objevené široké haly sloužily administrativním, kultovním či dekorativním funkcím, sportovnímu tréninku a intelektuálnímu vzdělávání, popř. zda se využívaly zejména pro shromažďování obyvatel města nebo pro bankety.…”

“…V některých případech, mj. právě v souvislosti s dalšími archeologickými nálezy na Sicílii, pak s jistotou nelze dokonce ani určit, zda -i když existují písemné doklady -jde skutečně o gymnasion nebo palaistru (Trümper, 2018). Podstatné a typické funkce antických gymnasií shrnují Kah a Scholz (2007).…”

“…Tím podporovala ideologii dané doby a teritoria, ale současně i sounáležitost a společenská postavení (Stavrou, 2016). Tato náboženská a kultovní funkce starořeckých gymnasií pokračovala v lázeňských gymnasiích a lázních římského impéria, které "vykazovaly vztahy s pevně zakořeněnými tradicemi, jako jsou léčitelské kulty nebo (řecká) atletika" (Steuernagel, 2021, s. 254) a nadále se v nich také konaly náboženské rozpravy (Trümper, 2018).…”

Ancient Gymnasion as a Space of Lifelong Learning

The ancient gymnasion, a symbol of Hellenic culture, receives constant attention in the literature. Even today, however, the traditional interpretation prevails, which understands the gymnasion as a secondary school connected to the sports field, and neglects its other functions, including supporting lifelong learning. This study aims to expand the interpretation of the ancient gymnasion, above all, to bring closer its importance to adult education. Due to the absence of information in andragogy on the significance of gymnasion for adult education, the study leans on archaeological, historical and epigraphic sources and analyses of ancient sports. The spatial turn of the end of the 20th century contributed in these sources methodologically to the innovative reflections of the gymnasion. The text defines the terminological, chronological and territorial aspects of the ancient gymnasion and reflects the areas of its narrower interpretation. It summarizes the functions of the gymnasion and particularly those related to adult education. The gymnasion is further characterized as an antique interactive space that supports adult learning. The last section recalls gymnasion workers in terms of their activities that initiated non-formal adult education. In conclusion, we can therefore interpret the gymnasion as an institution of formal youth education and at the same time as an adult education facility – as a complex interactive space for lifelong learning.
