  • Summary

    Some years ago, the ‘Copenhagen Polis Centre’ project debated the essence of the ancient Greek city and produced an inventory of all ancient Greek cities in Archaic and Classical times, within a wider comparative perspective of emerging urban societies from different parts of the world and different chronological settings. More recently the ‘Reception of the City in Late Antiquity’ European Research Council funded project at the University of Cambridge, re-examined the impact of the ancient Greco-Roman city on subsequent urban history in Europe and the Islamic world, investigating both urban fabric and urban ideals.

  • Summary

    If we take archaeology’s current interest in human networks in a broad sense as an interest in understanding human interactions, this is not exactly new to archaeology.1 This is evident in archaeology’s interest in intercultural contacts as an explanation for cultural and socio-political changes, which is also a core theme in changing approaches to Mediterranean urbanisation.2 Processual archaeology still approached such changes by taking an over-formalistic approach to it, if it considered interaction at all.

  • Summary

    In an earlier essay on the interplay between charisma and office, I listed the questions I had left unanswered:

    the origin of bishops, deacons, and presbyters, the precise extent and scope of their duties (as part of which we should pose the, as much unasked as unanswered, question of how bishops and/or presbyters come to have the exclusive right of presidency at the Eucharist), the fate of the teacher in the second century, and the manner in which, despite the opposition of such figures as Clement, Hermas and Ignatius, the episcopate takes on an intellectual role in the second century.1

    Although this list is not exhaustive, as new questions arise, this provides a starting point for an examination of questions related to office, and appointment to office, in early Christian communities, that had yet to receive satisfactory treatment.
