[publicclassics] The Ancient Throne

[Kai Brodersen]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the publication of “The Ancient Throne: The Mediterranean, Near East, and Beyond, from the 3rd Millennium BCE to the 14th Century CE”, co-edited by Dana Brostowsky Gilboa and me and published by Austrian Academy of Sciences Press (https://austriaca.at/8556-7?frames=yes).
The volume features studies focusing on specific thrones known from historical texts, artistic depictions, or excavations, or that offer an overview of the role of thrones from as early as ancient Mesopotamia in the 3rd millennium BCE to as late as Iran and China in the 14th century CE. Its diverse articles all present thrones as a meaningful category of material culture, one that may inspire both inter-cultural and intra-cultural insights on how types of chairs may embody or induce notions of kingship and a range of concepts pertaining to the religious, ideological, and social spheres.
We are so very grateful to the authors for their wonderful contributions, to colleagues who provided much-appreciated anonymous peer-reviews, to ICAANE for hosting the Ancient Throne Workshop at Vienna in 2016, and to our publishers, the Austrian Academy of Sciences Press. Finally, we express our gratitude to our first academic home, the Mandel Scholion Interdisciplinary Research Center in the Humanities and Jewish Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, for their ongoing support of the publication.
Please see the table of contents below, and please also see more information by the Austrian Academy of Sciences here<https://austriaca.at/8556-7?frames=yes>.
With many best wishes on behalf of both Dana Brostowsky Gilboa and me,
Liat Naeh
