The Abacus project aims to apply scientific knowledge drawn from research into the history of ancient games and calculation to museums and schools, in order to pass on this knowledge to children, teachers, families and the general public, who are encouraged to learn mathematics in a playful way. The project is based on the close collaboration between scientific researchers whose work has become a landmark in the field of ancient history, and the team at the Swiss Museum of Games. The project will present an innovative and interactive museographic system, with school workshops supported by the exhibition 鈥淔rom Board to Keyboard鈥�, which will launch at the Swiss Museum of Games in February 2024.

The research on the function of Greek knucklebones in ancient Greece will be composed of three parts. Based on a review of documentary sources, Barbara Car猫 will first examine the value of astragali as playthings and game tools and assess what we actually know about games with astragali from ancient documents, as well as explore forms of continuity between past and present games collected in modern South Italy and Sicily. She will address how far such dynamic and polyvocal kind of evidence can be methodologically reconstructed from the past. Second, selected examples from different chronological and geographical contexts in Greece and South Italy, especially funerary (tombs of individuals of different sex and ages) and votive (sacred caves and sanctuaries) will be critically analysed. The comparison between evidence from funerary and religious contexts will shed light on the polysemic value of these objects in Greek society (alluding metaphorically to the prosperity of a farming family, to milk feeding animals, to successful games, to sociability, to securing luck, to divinatory activities...) and demonstrate methodologically the wealth of knowledge that can be deduced from a context-based analysis. The third part of the stay will be dedicated to studying manufacturing processes in order to reassess the interpretation of worked bones. A typochronology will be presented and discussed. Beside unaltered specimens, worked astragali 鈥� painted, polished, trimmed, holed, cut, marked or inscribed - are known from all over the ancient Mediterranean. A careful study of the different types of modifications and of their distribution and find-contexts in the Greek world allows reflecting on their votive, funerary, or gaming functions with different purposes (counters, markers, tokens, aso).

Textile craftsmanship and dress provide a privileged access to the social, cultural and economic fabric of past societies. Over the last two decades, the interest in the study of clothing in Antiquity has increased significantly. As Roland Barthes (1957) and several scholars after him demonstrated, dress plays a key role not only in the construction of social, gendered, ethnic, individual, and collective identities, it is also part of non-verbal communication in a shared normative system. Both the materiality (shape, texture, color) and the context in which it is worn (domestic, ritual, civic) are intertwined with various symbolic, social and religious values. This project is part of the innovative researches developed by the working groups (WG) of the COST Action 芦 Euroweb. Europe through textiles 禄 (CA #19131). It considers clothing as an identity marker and investigates this cultural dimension in iconographic representations produced in Apulia between the 5th and 3rd centuries BC, a region characterized by the coexistence of the Greek people established in Taranto with different indigenous populations (Messapians, Peucetians and Daunians).The study will be based on a multidisciplinary approach, gathering archaeological, iconographic and written data in order to analyze the self- and collective representations of gender, age, status and ethnic identities, as well as the social interactions between these populations through the lenses of clothes and body ornaments. The research focuses more specifically on Apulian vase painting produced in Taranto and distributed in South Italy both in Greek and indigenous settlements (ca 430-300 BC). The material is extensive (ca 10,000) and well published. A large number of vases, still under-exploited, are decorated with representations of women and men鈥檚 attire displaying interactions between the Greek inhabitants (apoikioi) and indigenous people which are not reduced to violent confrontations as mentioned in Greek literary sources. The visual language of vase painters reveals the peaceful weaving of Greek and Italic identities with varying accents over one hundred years. We will question how far visual conventions reflect socio-cultural changes, such as mixed marriages or trade relationships with neighbouring communities. This investigation of the fabric of gendered and multicultural identities will be divided into three parts. The first one will create a typology of the different visual clothing elements characterising Greek or local identities. These items will be classified according to their type (WG2) (dress, hairdress, hairstyle, shoes, body ornaments), their wearers (women or men, children or adults), as well as compared with depictions on other media (wall paintings, terracotta, reliefs) and with ancient written sources to establish a reference terminology (WG3). The second part will analyse the different types of dress according to social interactions in iconographical contexts where local and Greek people could interact (e.g. daily life, religious scenes, such as libation, marriage, funerals). The methodological limits of such investigations will be addressed, namely how to identify a local person in Greek attire, partners of mixed marriages and so on. We will finally compare the dress depicted in iconography with extant archaeological textile evidence of Apulia (WG4) and experimental archaeology. The third part will revisit the long-lasting devaluation of Italic people in ancient Apulia, often examined solely in relation to Greek culture. Their classification as 鈥渘on-Greeks鈥� as well as the use of the expression 鈥淢agna Grecia鈥� (Strabo 6.1.2) have imposed a misleading appreciation of a culturally complex and evolving area. The study of dress will contribute to developing another view as mixed indigenous and Greek clothing could reflect the appropriation of Greek customs and culture among Italics users as well as the reverse, the influence of Italic people on Greek habits. The research thus aims to be a benchmark re evaluating the extent of cross-cultural exchanges in Apulia (coastal and hinterland) based on most recent post-colonial studies.

This three-months scientific exchange will be devoted to researching the archaeological traces of children' spontaneous play and self-made artefacts in Classical antiquity, as long as it is possible to recognize toys self-made by infants. Beside toys manufactured by adults to convey a message about the roles children would be called to play within the society (good bride and mother for girls, brave warrior and active citizen for boys), any object may have become a toy in the hands of a child. Our common aim will be to identify this toy-stage in the biography of ancient artefacts and to try to understand what children might have experienced by playing spontaneously It will foster an intense collaboration between the PI, her team, and the invited professor on this neglected topic. This partnership between two scholars specialised in the history of childhood will contribute new insights to the ERC advanced project Locus Ludi. The Cultural Fabric of Play and Games in Classical Antiquity. Claudia Lambrugo will base her study on various archaeological sources that will be collected and analysed during the stay, in regular exchanges with the ERC team. This collective work will be associated with three presentations of results at workshops and conferences organised at Fribourg University in December 2020, January and February 2021. This stay will produce several outcomes, chapters for the forthcoming Handbook on Play and Games, for two collective books and a joint peer-reviewed paper.

Ce projet pluridisciplinaire est consacr茅脿 une cat茅gorie d鈥檕bjets d鈥檕rdinaire class茅s dans la cat茅gorie moderne des jouets: les figurines anthropomorphes qui repr茅sentent le plus souvent une femme adulte au corps sexu茅, commun茅ment appel茅es 芦 poup茅es 禄脿 cause de leur taille r茅duite et de leurs membres articul茅s. Dans le monde grec, aux 芦 idoles cloches 禄 (Xe-VIIe s. av. J.-C.) succ猫de la production de figurines principalement en terre cuite, mais aussi en os, de la fin de l鈥櫭﹑oque archa茂que 脿 l鈥櫭﹑oque hell茅nistique (VIe-IIe s. av. J.-C.). Dans le monde romain, en Italie et dans les provinces, les figurines sont en os, ivoire, bois, ambre, de l鈥櫭﹑oque romaine imp茅riale 脿 l鈥橝ntiquit茅 tardive (fin Ier-VIIe s. apr. J.-C.). Plus rares, des 芦 poup茅es 禄 articul茅es masculines sont aussi produites d猫s la fin du Ve s. av. J.-C. Aucune 茅tude scientifique d鈥檈nsemble n鈥檃 encore trait茅 ce ph茅nom猫ne culturel de mani猫re approfondie en d茅pit de l鈥檃bondance et de l鈥檌mportance sociale, religieuse et symbolique de ces objets associ茅s 脿 la classe d鈥櫭e de l鈥檈nfance et de la jeunesse. Dans le monde grec, les poup茅es articul茅es proviennent par centaines de sanctuaires de divinit茅s prot茅geant la croissance et le mariage ainsi que de tombes de jeunes individus. En Italie et dans les provinces, la majorit茅 provient de s茅pultures d鈥檈nfants et de femmes en 芒ge de se marier et de procr茅er. Ces objets se situent dans un entre-deux dont ce projet entend explorer les limites (jouet profane ou objet sacr茅 ? mortelle ou divinit茅 ? poup茅e ou marionnette de spectacle ?), les sp茅cificit茅s et les transformations dans l鈥檈space et le temps en croisant diff茅rents points de vue afin d鈥櫭﹍ucider les raisons de leur ambigu茂t茅. Le point de vue typo-chronologique : quels mat茅riaux pour quelle ergonomie ? quelles modalit茅s de production et quel r茅seau de diffusion ? Le point de vue socio-religieux : o霉 et comment sont-elles manipul茅es (contexte profane, religieux ou les deux ?), par quelle classe d鈥櫭e (que pr茅-adulte ?), quel sexe (que les filles ?), et quelles transformations de leurs usages dans l鈥檈space et le temps ? L鈥櫭﹖ude s鈥檌nt茅ressera aussi aux valeurs symboliques et d鈥檃pprentissage que transmet cette repr茅sentation sp茅cifique du corps f茅minin (et masculin) et la mobilit茅 des membres. La recherche se compose de deux volets distinguant production grecque et romaine. Pour le monde grec, de nouvelles connaissances seront livr茅es par l鈥櫭﹖ude d鈥檕bjets in茅dits ou m茅connus : les poup茅es articul茅es d鈥檃teliers 脿 Ath猫nes (IVe 鈥� IIe s. av. J.-C.), ainsi que les figurines en terre cuite et en os de Gr猫ce centrale (Xe- IVe s. av. J.-C.). Les r茅sultats mettront en perspective ces nouveaut茅s avec les corpus d茅j脿 publi茅s en r茅茅valuant la chronologie, la diffusion et les contextes des diff茅rents types. Pour l鈥櫭﹑oque romaine, le nombre r茅duit d鈥檕bjets permet d鈥櫭﹖ablir un corpus exhaustif en reprenant l鈥檌dentification des mat茅riaux, les contextes, la distribution spatiale et l鈥櫭﹙olution chronologique. Pour les deux corpus, grec et romain, l鈥檃rch茅ologie exp茅rimentale et des analyses trac茅ologiques permettront de proposer de nouvelles hypoth猫ses sur les techniques de fabrication et les usages. La recherche comprend aussi l鈥櫭﹖ude approfondie des sources 茅crites et iconographiques pour comprendre les diff茅rents statuts de ces objets, leurs rapports avec la notion de jouet et d鈥檃utres formes de figurines articul茅es, comme les marionnettes et les figures divines anim茅es, ainsi que d鈥檃utres sortes de poup茅es (de chiffon, en cire, 芦 magiques 禄). Des comparaisons diachroniques se feront avec les productions de poup茅es non articul茅es du monde oriental, copte et byzantin, ainsi que d鈥檃utres p茅riodes historiques. L鈥檕bjectif est d鈥檃pporter une contribution de r茅f茅rence novatrice, 脿 la fois empirique et th茅orique, sur l鈥檋istoire des 芦 poup茅es 禄 articul茅es antiques dans toutes leurs dimensions, technique, ludique, sociale, religieuse, symbolique et genr茅e.

This six-months scientific exchange will be devoted to reconstructing the role of play in education and socialisation process in the Roman Empire and Late Antiquity. It will foster an intense collaboration between the PI, her team, and the invited professor on this neglected topic that requires an in-depth and thorough investigation. This partnership between two scholars specialised on the history of childhood will significantly contribute to launching the ERC advanced project obtained by the PI and due to start on september 15 (Locus Ludi. The Cultural Fabric of Play and Games in Classical Antiquity). In order to provide new insights, Christian Laes will base his study on a large variety of written sources (literary texts, inscriptions, papyri) that will be collected and analysed during his stay. The study will be based on a careful reading, discourse analysis, regularly shared with the ERC team, also providing new translations that will be included in the planned anthology. This collective work involves regular presentations of results at workshops and conferences organised at Fribourg University. This stay will produce several outcomes, the proceedings of the first ERC conference, peer-reviewed papers by the PI and her guest, chapters for the forthcoming Handbook on Play and Games and the preparation of the section on education for the Anthology of Play and Games in Classical Antiquity.

This interdisciplinary project is based on the study of cemeteries from Roman Aventicum/ Avenches (1st-3rd c. AD). It will combine traditional documentary evidence (literary, epigraphic and iconographic sources), and archaeological evidence (burial context and associated material), with anthropological data (study of the skeletal remains, recording of pathological conditions on the bones), and stable isotope data for the reconstruction of breastfeeding and weaning patterns. The aim is to serve as an exemplary model for a specific geographic region of the Roman Empire by offering comparative data in order to understand the causes of infant health hazards and their possible relation to feeding practices. It will provide a holistic investigation of how socio-cultural beliefs influenced feeding practices, adding to the scientific debate on ancient childhood in a wide temporal and regional context.

L鈥檕bjectif de ce projet est de contribuer au renouveau de l鈥檋istoire de la m茅decine 脿 l鈥櫭﹑oque romaine en int茅grant la question des conditions de vie des Anciens, telles qu鈥檜ne approche interdisciplinaire, croisant sources 茅crites et arch茅ologiques, permet de les appr茅hender. Sans promouvoir une v茅ritable politique sanitaire concert茅e, l鈥櫭﹖at romain a mis en place diff茅rentes mesures dans le but d鈥檃m茅liorer l鈥檋ygi猫ne de la population: am茅nagement et contr么le de l鈥檃limentation en eau (aqueducs, thermes), installations sanitaires (茅gouts, latrines). Conscients 茅galement de l鈥檌mportance de l鈥檈nvironnement sur la sant茅, les auteurs anciens insistent sur la prise en compte de la nature des lieux et de la diff茅rence des climats pour choisir l鈥檈mplacement de l鈥檋abitat; ils se soucient de la qualit茅 de l鈥檃ir susceptible d鈥櫭猼re pollu茅 par les 茅vaporations d鈥櫭ゞouts, de mar茅cages, de mati猫res en putr茅faction, ainsi que par toutes sortes de vapeurs, fum茅es et poussi猫res 茅manant des villes. Mais de nombreuses lacunes au niveau de l鈥檋ygi猫ne menacent la sant茅 des habitants (mauvaise 茅vacuation des d茅chets, manque d鈥檃茅ration et de lumi猫re, conservation inad茅quate des aliments, vermine et parasites, usage du plomb dans la vaisselle). Les recherches vont 茅tendre 脿 de nouvelles th茅matiques une approche bas茅e sur la pluridisciplinarit茅, alliant les apports de diff茅rents domaines, historiques (茅pigraphie, numismatique, sources 茅crites) et arch茅ologiques (sites et monuments, objets de la vie quotidienne, documents figur茅s, pal茅opathologie, pal茅obotanique) afin d鈥櫭﹍argir les perspectives en int茅grant les donn茅es issues des derni猫res avanc茅es de la recherche. L鈥檋istoire de la m茅decine, et plus largement de la sant茅, se pr锚te particuli猫rement bien 脿 ce type de d茅marche. La probl茅matique 茅tant tr猫s large, l鈥檌mpact des conditions de vie et de la politique sanitaire sur l鈥檋ygi猫ne et la sant茅 sera 茅tudi茅e au travers de l鈥櫭﹖ude de cas. Deux dossiers constituent ce projet. Le premier, intitul茅芦M茅decine et hygi猫ne dans l鈥檃rm茅e romaine禄, sera trait茅 par M. Pascal Bader. Diff茅rents types de sources, litt茅raires, 茅pigraphiques et arch茅ologiques, t茅moignent de l鈥檃ttention port茅e 脿 l鈥檋ygi猫ne, 脿 la salubrit茅, ainsi qu鈥櫭� la prise en charge des soldats bless茅s et malades. Cette th茅matique a 茅t茅 jusqu鈥檌ci abord茅e de mani猫re incompl猫te par les historiens et les arch茅ologues. Plusieurs sp茅cialistes se sont int茅ress茅s 脿 l鈥檕rganisation du service m茅dical dans l鈥檃rm茅e romaine, ainsi qu鈥檃ux espaces de soins dans les camps, mais en se focalisant sur un seul type de sources, principalement 茅pigraphiques, sans jamais prendre en compte l鈥檈nsemble des sources 脿 disposition. Les travaux pr茅paratoires de M. Bader, achev茅s sous la forme du m茅moire de master 芦La m茅decine dans l鈥檃rm茅e romaine, entre sources 茅crites et sources arch茅ologiques禄, ont montr茅 la richesse du sujet et l鈥檃pport de d茅couvertes r茅centes, notamment dans le camp de Novae en Bulgarie. Le deuxi猫me projet, intitul茅芦M茅decine et soins des enfants dans le monde romain禄, sera trait茅 par Mme Lucinne Rossier dont les travaux pr茅paratoires ont pris la forme du m茅moire de master 芦La ville, espace pathog猫ne 脿 Rome? Mythe et r茅alit茅禄. Son projet visera 脿 rassembler les sources grecques et latines se rapportant 脿 la p茅diatrie antique, en les lisant 脿 la lumi猫re des autres disciplines historiques (茅pigraphie, arch茅ologie, pal茅opathologie). Cette 茅tude r茅unira d鈥檜ne part le corpus comment茅 des textes m茅dicaux grecs et latins relatifs 脿 la p茅diatrie, d鈥檃utre part des documents arch茅ologiques associ茅s 脿 la culture mat茅rielle des enfants replac茅s dans leur cadre de vie (茅pid茅miologie, pal茅opathologie). Ces deux th茅matiques de recherche, qui touchent plus largement 脿 l鈥檋istoire du corps et de la sant茅 publique, seront int茅gr茅es par les deux doctorants 脿 l鈥檈xposition sur 芦La m茅decine, l鈥檋ygi猫ne et la sant茅脿 l鈥櫭﹑oque romaine禄 qui s鈥檕uvrira au Mus茅e romain de Nyon en mai 2010.

Ce projet porte sur l鈥櫭ヾition, la traduction et le commentaire de trois trait茅s transmis sous le nom de M茅lampous, l鈥檋i茅rogrammate, consacr茅s 脿 l鈥檌nterpr茅tation divinatoire des signes corporels Ces trait茅s se composent du : 1) Peri palmon mantike, sur l鈥檕bservation des tressaillements involontaires du corps, 2) PPeri elaion tou somatos, sur la lecture divinatoire des marques naturelles du corps, et du 3) Peri ton tes Selenes prognoseon, aussi connu sous le titre de Lunarium, un trait茅 d鈥檃strologie consacr茅脿 l鈥檌nterpr茅tation des phases de la lune lors de son passage dans les douze signes du zodiaque. Un passage d鈥橝rt茅midore dans sa Clef des songes, 芦 M茅lampous 鈥� dans son livre Sur les prodiges et les signes 禄, permet d鈥檃vancer que ces trois textes ont fait partie d鈥檜n seul livre. Ces trait茅s constituent un ensemble unique, jusqu'ici n茅glig茅. Ils sont d鈥檜n acc猫s difficile et leurs 茅ditions datent d鈥檃u moins un si猫cle. Ce projet propose d'en r茅aliser une 茅dition critique dot茅e d鈥檜ne premi猫re traduction moderne en fran莽ais, accompagn茅e d鈥檜n commentaire approfondi. Nous tenterons de r茅soudre la question probl茅matique de l鈥檃ttribution et de la datation des trait茅s par l鈥櫭﹖ude approfondie de leur langue et de leur contenu. La croyance aux correspondances cach茅es entre les mouvements du corps, les marques naturelles et l'ordre cosmique a occup茅 une place importante dans la soci茅t茅 antique. Le langage corporel appartient 脿 ces savoirs partag茅s qui s鈥檌nscrivent dans la tr猫s longue dur茅e. Son origine se perd en Gr猫ce ancienne, qui l鈥檃 sans doute h茅rit茅 du monde assyro-babylonien. Pour les Anciens, le corps peut produire des signes qui sontl鈥檈xpression de la volont茅 divine et de l鈥檕rdre cosmique. Leur valeur est pr茅monitoire. Ils annoncent des 茅v茅nements, heureux ou malheureux, qui concernent le destin individuel. L鈥檃rt de les interpr茅ter suit le principe g茅n茅ral que toute perte de ma卯trise du corps est due 脿 une intervention surnaturelle. L鈥櫭﹖ude de ce savoir, longtemps tenu pour une d茅cadence de la "physiognomonie scientifique", n茅cessite une d茅marche pluridisciplinaire, au carrefour de l鈥檋istoire de la m茅decine, de l鈥檃rt et des religions. Elle participe au d茅veloppement du nouveau champ d鈥櫭﹖ude que repr茅sente l鈥檋istoire du corps.
