The creation of new cities was imagined as an ideological project or a divine intervention in the political narratives and mythologies of Near Eastern cultures, often masking the complex processes behind the social production of urban space. During the Early Iron Age (c.1200-850 BCE), Assyrian and Syro-Hittite rulers developed a highly performative official discourse that revolved around constructing cities, cultivating landscapes, building watercourses, erecting monuments and initiating public festivals. This volume combs through archaeological, epigraphic, visual, architectural and environmental evidence to tell the story of a region from the perspective of its spatial practices, landscape history and architectural technologies. It argues that the cultural processes of the making of urban spaces shape collective memory and identity as well as sites of political performance and state spectacle. 517 3 $aCities & the Shaping of Memory in the Ancient Near East 606 $aCities and towns$zMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aCollective memory$zMiddle East 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aCollective memory 676 $a307.760956 700 $aHarmans?ah$b O?mu?r$01026713 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465393603321 996 $aCities and the shaping of memory in the ancient Near East$92441788 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03662nam 2200553 450 001 9910819502603321 005 20230807213556.0 010 $a90-04-28953-4 024 7 $a10.1163/9789004289536 035 $a(CKB)3710000000354182 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1981292 035 $a(OCoLC)904398564$z(OCoLC)905984822$z(OCoLC)910176501 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004289536 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1981292 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11028479 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL741182 035 $a(OCoLC)904398564 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000354182 100 $a20150313h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aAcross the ocean $enine essays on Indo-Mediterranean trade /$fedited by Federico De Romanis and Marco Maiuro ; cover illustration, Codice Magliabechiano 210 1$aLeiden, Netherlands ;$aBoston, [Massachusetts] :$cBrill,$d2015. 210 4$d©2015 215 $a1 online resource (214 pages) $cillustrations (some color), maps, tables, graphs, charts 225 1 $aColumbia Studies in the Classical Tradition,$x0166-1302 ;$vVolume 41 300 $a"This volume is a collection of papers delivered at the conference "A Tale of Two Worlds: Comparative Perspectives on Indo-Mediterranean Commerce (I-XVII c.)," held at the Center for the Ancient Mediterranean, Columbia University, March 4th-5th, 2011"--Acknowledgment. 311 $a90-04-28919-4 311 $a1-336-09896-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tPreliminary Material -- $tIntroduction /$rFederico De Romanis and Marco Maiuro -- $t1 Red Sea Trade and the State /$rAndrew Wilson -- $t2 Trajan?s Canal: River Navigation from the Nile to the Red Sea? /$rJean-Jacques Aubert -- $t3 Pearls, Power, and Profit: Mercantile Networks and Economic Considerations of the Pearl Trade in the Roman Empire /$rKatia Schörle -- $t4 Roman Policy on the Red Sea in the Second Century ce /$rDario Nappo -- $t5 Roman Trade with the Far East: Evidence for Nabataean Middlemen in Puteoli /$rTaco Terpstra -- $t6 Indian Gold Crossing the Indian Ocean Through the Millennia /$rHarry Falk -- $t7 ?Regions that Look Seaward?: Changing Fortunes, Submerged Histories, and the Slow Capitalism of the Sea /$rJairus Banaji -- $t8 Comparative Perspectives on the Pepper Trade /$rFederico De Romanis -- $t9 Into the East: European Merchants in Asian Markets During the Early Modern Period /$rMartha Howell -- $tAfterword /$rElio Lo Cascio -- $tReferences -- $tIndex of Sources -- $tGeneral Index. 330 $aAcross the Ocean contains nine essays, each dedicated to a key question in the history of the trade relations between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean from Antiquity to the Early Modern period: the role of the state in the Red Sea trade, Roman policy in the Red Sea, the function of Trajan?s Canal, the pepper trade, the pearl trade, the Nabataean middlemen, the use of gold in ancient India, the constant renewal of the Indian Ocean ports of trade, and the rise and demise of the VOC. 410 0$aColumbia studies in the classical tradition ;$vVolume 41. 607 $aMediterranean Region$xCommerce$xHistory$vCongresses 607 $aMediterranean Region$xHistory$y476-1517$vCongresses 676 $a382.0937/01824 702 $aDe Romanis$b Federico 702 $aMaiuro$b Marco 702 $aMagliabechiano$b Codice 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819502603321 996 $aAcross the ocean$91392400 997 $aUNINA
