Hardcover. Condition: VG+. Matte color-printed boards with white text down a mostly black spine. Pages: (5), 6-215. Profusely illustrated with a majority color images. "Ancient Colchis, which was located on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, is best known from Greek mythology as the land where Jason and the Argonauts went in search of the Golden Fleece and Jason fell in love with Medea, who helped the hero complete his legendary feat. Archaeological finds prove that Colchis was indeed rich in gold. This illustrated catalogue explores what defined Colchian identity beyond its wealth by providing an overview of life at Vani, an important administrative and religious center in Colchis. It presents findings from five of Vani's richest graves, which include an impressive array of gold jewelry as well as imports from its western and eastern neighbors. These graves also give evidence of human sacrifice and of the important role that wine, drinking, and libation played in Colchian life. It provides a historical and archaeological overview of the city and explores such topics such as the rich tradition of Colchian gold working and the Greek view of Colchis through the myth of Medea." Contents are as follows: Medea's Colchis / Nino Lordkipanidze -- Vani, rich in gold / Michael Vickers -- The archealogy of Vani / Darejan Kacharava and Guram Kvirkvelia -- Colchian goldwork / Anna Chqonia -- Religious ritual : bronze and iron figurines from Vani / Darejan Kacharava and Guram Kvirkvelia -- Viticulture and Dionysos in Hellenistic Vani / Darejan Kacharava and Guram Kvirkvelia -- The golden graves of ancient Vani / Darejan Kacharava and Guram Kvirkvelia.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Two Cemeteries at Takhtidziri (Georgia): Late Achaemenid-Early Hellenistic and Late Hellenistic-Early Roman publishes excavations at two cemeteries located near to the village of Takhtidziri in Shida Kartli, the central region of Georgia. The first features Late Achaemenid-Early Hellenistic graves belonging to the representatives of the ruling family of a minor territorial-administrative unit, part of the only state that the Persians (Achaemenids) encountered in the Caucasus and which was referred to as Kolkhida by the Greeks. The other cemetery dates to the 1st century BC-1st century AD and was used by non-elite members of the community. The grave goods recovered through excavation are diverse and point to the fact that the kingdom of Kartli (Caucasian Iberia) was involved in international trade and economic relations in the Late Hellenistic and Early Roman period.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Ancient Colchis, which was located on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, is best known from Greek mythology as the land where Jason and the Argonauts went in search of the Golden Fleece and Jason fell in love with Medea, who helped the hero complete his legendary feat. Archaeological finds prove that Colchis was indeed rich in gold. But what defined Colchian identity beyond its wealth in this precious metal? Wine, Worship, and Sacrifice explores this question by providing an overview of life at Vani, an important administrative and religious center in Colchis. This richly illustrated catalogue, which accompanies a major inaugural exhibition at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, is the first comprehensive English-language publication about Vani. Wine, Worship, and Sacrifice presents findings from five of Vani's richest graves, which include an impressive array of gold jewelry as well as imports from its western and eastern neighbors. These graves also give evidence of human sacrifice and of the important role that wine, drinking, and libation played in Colchian life. Darejan Kacharava and Guram Kvirkvelia provide a historical and archaeological overview of the city, while the other contributors explore such topics such as the rich tradition of Colchian gold working and the Greek view of Colchis through the myth of Medea. …
