 * Bringing Roman Light to Life
   
   John R. Clarke
   Available as Open Access
   
   Nuova luce da Pompei (New Light from Pompeii) explored the role of artificial
   light in the lives of ancient Romans. In addition to presenting 180 rarely
   seen bronzes from Pompeii, including lamps, candelabra, and elegant statues
   that held lamps, the exhibition demonstrated the effects and meanings these
   lighting devices generated.

 * Hermes Psychopompos in an Anatolian Grave: The White-Ground Cup from
   Daskyleion
   
   Çiçek Karaöz, Kaan İren
   
   A striking find emerged from a tumulus in the eastern necropolis of
   Daskyleion in northwestern Anatolia: a white-ground cup depicting Hermes
   Psychopompos leading a deceased woman to the underworld. This article focuses
   on the painter or workshop associated with the cup and questions how it ended
   up in the multicultural context of a noble grave in a Persian satrapal
   center.

 * Representations of Gender: Recognizing the Role of Feminine Sacrificial
   Attendants in the Column of Trajan Sacrifice Scenes
   
   Elizabeth Wolfram Thill, Maryl B. Gensheimer, Elizabeth M. Greene
   Available as Open Access
   
   This article offers an analysis of the Feminine Sacrificial Attendant figure
   type on the Column of Trajan frieze in Rome. We first present a detailed
   study of the Column of Trajan examples, focusing on both composition and
   broader narrative context. We argue, based on this methodology, that the
   traditional identification of these figures as masculine must be abandoned,
   in favor of a more demonstrable identification as feminine.

 * The Christian Building at Dura-Europos: Rethinking the Archaeology of the
   World’s Oldest House Church
   
   David K. Pettegrew
   
   In his final report of the excavations at Dura-Europos, Syria, the scholar
   Carl Kraeling established the site’s Christian Building as the ancient
   world’s preeminent example of a domus ecclesiae, a house converted into a
   church through architectural adaptation. In Kraeling’s interpretation, a
   private domestic structure (House M8A) built in 232 CE was later remade as a
   community-owned church through a single, deliberate program of modification.

 * The First Koinon Temple of Roman Sardis: A Sanctuary from the First Century
   Through Late Antiquity
   
   Nicholas D. Cahill, Philip Stinson, Marcus Rautman, Bahadır Yıldırım, Jane
   DeRose Evans, Frances Gallart Marques, Vanessa Rousseau, Elizabeth DeRidder
   Raubolt
   
   An artificial terrace in the center of the city of Sardis in western Asia
   Minor formed a focus of urban life from the Early Imperial period until the
   early Byzantine era. Following the earthquake of 17 CE, the terrace became a
   major sanctuary of the imperial cult belonging to the koinon of Asia. The
   lavishly ornamented octastyle temple and broad range of honorific monuments
   attest the importance of the sanctuary for the first three centuries CE.

 * A Mason’s Mark from the Stelida Peak Sanctuary, Naxos
   
   Tristan Carter, Dimitris Athanasoulis
   
   This archaeological note reports on an architectural block from the peak
   sanctuary at Stelida on Naxos that is inscribed with a mason’s mark, the
   first such example from the island and one of only a handful outside of Crete
   and Akrotiri on Thera.

 * Mikon’s Hekatompedon: An Architectural Graffito from Attica
   
   Merle K. Langdon, Jan Z. van Rookhuijzen
   Available as Open Access
   
   Among the more than 2,000 ancient engravings on marble outcrops in hills
   north and east of Vari, Attica, there appears a remarkable drawing of a
   building. The structure, which seems to be a temple, is identified by its
   inscription as “the Hekatompedon” and was produced by an individual named
   Mikon. This note presents the drawing and the inscription.

   Daskyleion in northwestern Anatolia: a white-ground cup depicting Hermes
   Psychopompos leading a deceased woman to the underworld. This article focuses
   on the painter or workshop associated with the cup and questions how it ended
