| The volume illuminates the understanding of and dealing with time in the cultures of antiquity. If you consider time as a social construct and not just a physical fact, chronological concepts, systems and practices can provide important insights into the self-image and functioning of societies. The focus is on 60 sources from Egypt, the Middle East and the Greek and Roman world, which date from the 3rd millennium BC. BC to late Christian antiquity. The spectrum ranges from paintings and reliefs to literary texts and documents to instruments and buildings, including well-known examples as well as previously neglected collector's items by the authors. In all contributions, related sources are recorded, technical aspects are explained and the certificates are evaluated from a socio-cultural point of view. |
