Abstract:

From the Norse sagas or the Arthurian cycles, we are used to the concept that the warrior's weapon has an identity, a name. In this article I shall ask whether some prehistoric weapons also had an identity. Using case studies of La Tène swords, early Iron Age central and southern Italian spearheads and middle and late Bronze Age type Boiu and type Sauerbrunn swords, I shall argue that prehistoric weapons could indeed have an identity and that this has important implications for their biographies, suggesting that they may have been conserved as heirlooms or exchanged as prestige gifts for much

Abstract This contribution aims to shed light on the lost mosaic of the Archangel Michael with a drawn sword once set, according to Niketas Choniates, in a πρόναος of the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. After an overview of previous hypotheses, I will argue for a position just outside of the south-west vestibule of the church in the 10th century. Such a location and dating would be in line with the connotation of the Archangel as defender of a sacred space, perceived as a sort of Eden in Byzantine textual and visual sources. The spread of similar representations confirms the role of a referenc

Abstract:

From its first steps, the Christian ideology interpreted the Crucifixion first of all as a victory over death. In many medieval canonical and paracanonical stories and pictorial fictions, the cross is presented as the most victorious weapon. Christ thereby destroys hell, slays the dragon, conquers death, overcomes sin, etc. He is followed by various saints armed with cross-spears. All this found its pictorial and especially scriptural expression in Khachkar culture. However, the medieval masters, characterizing the cross as a weapon or symbol of victory in the khachkar inscriptions, avoided ma

The popular yet demonic guardian of ancient Egypt, Bes, combines dwarfish and leonine features, and embodies opposing traits such as a fierce and gentle demeanor, a hideous and comical appearance, serious and humorous roles, an animalistic and numinous nature.

Abstract:

Abstract Media reportage of war conflicts tends to underrepresent women, especially older women, and distort their involvement in wars through narrow role characterizations. Women are often cast less as political actors and more as helpless victims. This backdrop sets the stage for our study, which examines the media portrayal of older women during wartime, focusing on conflicts in Ukraine and Israel. By content-analyzing news from Ukraine and Israel, we identify recurring themes and highlight the roles and experiences of older women as depicted in media from the onset of the full-scale war in

One type of swords with an adorned guard is a bronze dagger that uses Taotie patterns on the guard; these are called Qin-style swords or Qin’s daggers, depending on the researcher. Although early research on swords with adorned guards and Qin’s daggers were split into the northern nomadic culture and Central Plain culture, researchers came to realize that both types originated from the same type of sword. Considering that Yu Village M1 and Xiguan Village M1, which belong to the earliest period of China’s territory, show strong elements of northern nomadic culture, and comparing them with artif

Alongside with personification of Russia, there are other state personifications in Russian art, including Genius of Russia. Despite some interest to this figure (V.M. Faibisovich), its iconography has not yet been comprehensively analyzed. Appearance of “Genius of the Russian Empire” in the ballet “The New Argonauts” (1770) by Gasparo Angiolini allows us to assume that this personification became widespread in Russian art in the second half of the 18th century. In the article, this personification is examined on materials of artworks and performances of the late 18th and early 19th centuries

In Anglo-Saxon and Viking literature swords form part of a hero's identity. In addition to being weapons, they represent a material agent for the individual's actions, a physical expression of identity.

The placement of the sword in funerary contexts is important. Swords were not just objects; they were worn close to the body, intermingling with the phy
