Herzlich Willkommen!
In the Hellenistic and particularly the Roman Imperial period the Acropolis of Athens embodied the greatness of the “polis” in Classical times and must to an extent have attained a museum-like status. This volume represents the results of an International Colloquium at Bonn University which took place in June 2006. In their contributions scholars of Classical Archaeology and Ancient History treat subjects such as: buildings, votive offerings and honorific statues of the Hellenistic and Roman periods (and up to Late Antiquity), as well as the historical and political context and the well documented references to Athens’ glorious past in the development of democracy and in the age of Perikles. Im Hellenismus und vor allem in der römischen Kaiserzeit galt die Akropolis als Inbegriff der Größe und „Blütezeit“ des klassischen Athen und muss partiell geradezu museale Züge aufgewiesen haben. Dieser Band basiert auf einem internationalen Kolloquium an der Universität Bonn: Autoren aus den Fächern Klassische Archäologie und Alte Geschichte behandeln in ihren Beiträgen Bauten, Weihgeschenke und Ehrenstatuen hellenistischer und römischer Zeit (bis zur Spätantike), deren historischen und politischen Kontext sowie den gerade auf der Akropolis gut dokumentierten absichtsvollen Rückbezug auf die Vergangenheit Athens in der Frühzeit der Demokratie und in der Epoche des Perikles.
