Publication of a glassy faience statuette fragment from Memphis which imitates the style of the Old Kingdom ("archaism") and which is inscribed for one king "Usermaatre". Following a discussion of the possible candidates who may be identified with this king it is considered that he may be the "northern" Late Libyan ruler Osorkon (IV) Usermaatre. Archaising relief images of this lesser known ruler which are stylistically harking back to the early OK were found in Tanis in 2009. These reliefs confirm that Osorkon IV's throne name was indeed "Usermaatre".

Es ist auffällig, daß die kleinasiatischen Säulensarkophage, deren Werkstätten jetzt endgültig in Dokimeion/Phrygien lokalisiert werden können', in der kontroversen Diskussion um die Sepulkralsymbolik der römischen Kaiserzeit kaum je eine Rolle spielen. Noch immer scheint man nach erfolglosen Deutungsversuchen' die alte Meinung gelten zu lassen, die in den Interkolumnien aufgereihten Figuren besäßen in der Regel keinen inhaltlichen Zusammenhangl, höchstens die Funktion, das architektonische Gehäuse statuengleich zu schmücken.

Syllabic signs were derived from originally Sumerian logograms according to the rebus principle for both the Akkadian and Sumerian language. In the Sargonic Akkadian (circa 2275–2133 BCE) syllabary there exist syllabic signs that are assigned the same phonetic value in the conventional modern transliteration and which can be grouped together as sign pairs or triplets based on this property. It has been shown, though, that the signs of each pair must be given different syllabic values in quite a number of cases. Therefore the existence of pairs may be regarded as an expression of phonological opposition which traditional transliteration fails to represent. This article presents an overview on how the signs of Sargonic Akkadian sign pairs are used in the Old Sumerian texts from Lagaˇs (circa 2340–2249 BCE) and what information can be gained about the exact syllabic values of these signs based on these texts. Subsequent to this overview, the syllabic values of the signs of both writing systems will be compared to each other and an attempt will be made at explaining the few observed differences. *

Die Dissertation widmet sich der detaillierten Erforschung und Beschreibung der Gestalt und der Funktionen der mesopotamischen Unterweltsgöttin Ereškigal sowie der Darstellung ihrer Rolle für das religiöse Leben der Gesellschaft und des Individuums. Detailliert untersucht sind auch die Hypostasen und die Vorgängerinnen Ereškigals sowie die Beziehungen der Göttin zu anderen Unterweltsgottheiten des Alten Orients und ihre späten Synkretismen.

This Feb 21, 2018 lecture at the Mint of Austria was on invitation by the Austrian Numismatic Society, entitled "The Lion Throne of King Solomon on Pennies, minted at the city of Krems, as issued by the Babenberg Duke Heinrich Jasomirgott". Henry did participate in the 12th century CE in the 2nd Crusade. End of 1148 CE he was married in Constantinople to a Byzantine empirial princess. In the Constantinople an impressive Solomonic Throne has been realized in the 9th century CE. From this it is concluded that the front side of the "Kremser Penny" issued by Henry and his Byzantine wife Theodora shows King Solomon, holding two lions at their tails symbolizing his power.
