TL;DR: Agarwal et al. as discussed by the authors presente trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar una puesta al dia de los catalogos del material relativo a los Misterios de Mitra en Hispania elaborados by Garcia y Bellido (1967) and Alvar Ezquerra (1981).
Abstract: El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar una puesta al dia de los catalogos del material relativo a los Misterios de Mitra en Hispania elaborados por Garcia y Bellido (1967) y Alvar Ezquerra (1981). La multiplicidad de hallazgos en las ultimas decadas y la revision de las teorias mas tradicionales en este campo de estudio, hacen obligado reexaminar material arqueologico. Para ello, nos hemos centrado en los monumentos figurativos, ya que la Iconografia mitraica ha sido considerada un mero vehiculo para la transmision de la escatologia del culto. De esta forma, el estudio de las imagenes quedaba relegado a un segundo plano, dado que se manifestaban como iconos repetitivos, monotonos, de dudosa calidad estetica. Sin embargo, el analisis de las fuentes literarias, el estudio de los modelos empleados, los diversos asuntos iconograficos y las semejanzas formales con otras imagenes de culto contemporaneas, revelan que los Misterios de Mitra se valieron del repertorio grecorromano para la conformacion de su propia iconografia. Los primeros autores dedicados al estudio de los Misterios de Mitra, Cumont y Vermaseren, concebian este fenomeno como una serie de creencias procedentes de Persia que penetraron el Imperio romano gracias al contacto de las tropas y comerciantes con los territorios conquistados, a partir del s. I d. C. Mitra, dios de naturaleza solar, encarnaria los valores viriles de lealtad y triunfo militar, hecho que habria favorecido su difusion entre los soldados del Imperio. No obstante, el culto de Mitra en Oriente carecia de la estructura misterica que desarrollaria mas tarde en epoca imperial. La tauroctonia, el icono central de la liturgia mitraica, presenta al dios vestido con atuendo oriental dando muerte al toro con un punal, acompanado de un perro y una serpiente que lamen la sangre que mana de la herida y un escorpion que se situa en los genitales. En esta escena suelen aparecer tambien los bustos de Sol y Luna, junto a dos dadoforos. Si bien en la Betica se han localizado tres representaciones del sacrificio divino, el banquete entre Mitra y Sol procedente de Troia y los hallazgos del cerro de San Albin, ambos en Lusitania, constituyen la fuente de materiales mas importante para el estudio del culto a Mitra en territorio hispano. Los recientes descubrimientos en Lugo, Altafulla, Cabrera de Mar, Puente Genil, San Juan de la Isla, Barbate, Merida, junto a la revision de fondos del Museo Nacional de Arte Romano, han supuesto una gran aportacion para el estudio del Mitraismo en la Peninsula Iberica. Sin embargo, los monumentos figurativos recuperados no ofrecen asuntos especificamente mitraicos, sino que se trata de representaciones de diversos elementos vegetales acompanados, en ocasiones, por la imagen de un toro o bucraneo. Estos motivos aparecen frecuentemente en el repertorio mitraico, aunque siempre se encuentran asociados a la imagen de Mitra o de los dadoforos. Gracias a la revision de los marmoles exhumados en San Albin hemos realizado una propuesta sobre el repertorio iconografico que habria decorado el mitreo emeritense, mientras que el analisis de otros monumentos sugiere que estos no pertenecerian al corpus mitraico hispano, como tradicionalmente se ha mantenido.

TL;DR: A Companion to Roman Architecture as discussed by the authors presents a selective overview of the critical issues and approaches that have transformed scholarly understanding of this rich field of study in recent decades and provides an updated historical understanding of Roman architecture.
Abstract: Roman architecture is arguably the most enduring physical legacy of the classical world. A Companion to Roman Architecture presents a selective overview of the critical issues and approaches that have transformed scholarly understanding of this rich field of study in recent decades. This volume draws on new archaeological discoveries and theoretical approaches in order to provide an updated historical understanding of Roman architecture.

TL;DR: Les recherches archeologiques, fouilles and prospections, conduites dans les regions steppiques du Proche-Orient n'ont ete menees de facon systematique que depuis une date recente que jusqu'a des periodes plus recentes de the technologie de the chasse en zone steppique.
Abstract: Les recherches archeologiques, fouilles et prospections, conduites dans les regions steppiques du Proche-Orient n'ont ete menees de facon systematique que depuis une date recente. Jusque-la, l'information ayant trait aux pasteurs nomades et les restes « archeologiques » provenaient des recits des voyageurs. Un corpus de donnees ainsi recueillies concernait de vastes structures en pierre qui se trouvent dans la zone basaltique ou «Badiyat esh Sham»; ces «pieges du desert» ont donne naissance a de nombreuses speculations. Leur fonction et leur datation n'avaient, jusque tres recemment, pu etre etablies de facon empirique; la nature des vestiges eux-memes restait problematique; ces deux aspects etant assez caracteristiques des problemes poses par l'archeologie des pays steppiques. Le long debat concernant ces pieges est presente ici; il est confronte aux nouvelles donnees acquises concernant le developpement depuis le neolithique jusqu'a des periodes plus recentes de la technologie de la chasse en zone steppique.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of the first paleoseismic study of the Yammouneh fault, the main on-land segment of the Levant fault system within the Lebanese restraining bend.
Abstract: We present results of the first paleoseismic study of the Yammouneh fault, the main on-land segment of the Levant fault system within the Lebanese restraining bend. A trench was excavated in the Yammouneh paleolake, where the fault cuts through finely laminated sequences of marls and clays. First-order variations throughout this outstanding stratigraphic record appear to reflect climate change at centennial and millennial scales. The lake beds are offset and deformed in a 2-m- wide zone coinciding with the mapped fault trace. Ten to thirteen events are identified, extending back more than ~12 kyr. Reliable age bounds on seven of these events constrain the mean seismic return time to 1127 ± 135 yr between ~12 ka and ~6.4 ka, implying that this fault slips in infrequent but large (M ~ 7.5) earthquakes. Our results also provide conclusive evidence that the latest event at this site was the great A.D. 1202 historical earthquake, and suggest that the Yammouneh fault might have been the source of a less well-known event circa A.D. 350. These findings, combined with previous paleoseismic data from the Zebadani valley, imply that the parallel faults bounding the Beqaa release strain in events with comparable recurrence intervals but significantly different magnitudes. Our results contribute to document the clustering of large events on the Levant fault into centennial episodes, such as that during the eleventh through twelfth centuries, separated by millennial periods of quiescence, and raise the possibility of a M > 7 event occurring on the Yammouneh fault in the coming century. Such a scenario should be taken into account in regional seismic-hazard assessments and planned for accordingly.

TL;DR: In the year 1300 BC, the great clash took place at Qadesh in Syria between the young Ramesses II and Muwatallish, the Great King of the Hittites as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: In the year 1300 BC, the great clash took place at Qadesh in Syria between the young Ramesses II and Muwatallish, the Great King of the Hittites. It is now accepted that Mukshush, the companion of Madduwattash, is identical in name with Mopsus, a strange figure of Greek legend, a seer and prince of Colophon. The razzia of Mopsus may be reasonably regarded as part of the downward thrust of the horde of assailants whom the Egyptians called collectively the Peoples of the Sea. There are some archaeological reasons to think that some settlement by Philistines or other closely related Sea Peoples in Palestine may start in this period before 1200 BC. In 1194 BC, Ramesses III clashed with the Libyans. The clash took the form of two battles: the first in Syria against the Land Raiders; the second real fight, against the Sea Raiders, taking place in the Delta at the entrance to Egypt itself.
