This importance was considered for the first time by Carlo Sigonio in his De dialogo liber. Referring to Aristotle’s Topica, Sigonio defined dialogue as a written imitation of a dialectical disputation. He considered the arguments in a dialogue as well as in a dialectical disputation not to be based on scientific propositions, which are necessarily true, but to be based on commonly accepted premises. In consequence thereof, dialogue is not intended to generate indubitable knowledge but to foster „opinions“ (opinio), „beliefs“ and „convictions“ (fides), whose epistemological value is a matter of discussion. The intention of this paper is to present the arguments developed by Sigonio in order to explain that opinio and fides are not only legitimate epistemic goals, but sometimes the only reasonable ones. A further topic is the functions of dialectic and rhetoric within the framework of this cognitive concept.

The reproduction of spaces and places in face design is an interesting phenomenon: alongside actually existing places, face design also depicts imaginary spatial structures representative of the city that issued the coins. This study shows, within the scope of a collection of artifacts, which spatial configurations were portrayed on archaic and classical Greek coins, and why these were chosen to characterize and represent their respective cities. Widely dispersed geographically and produced in rapid succession, Greek coins, more than almost any other art form, present an excellent opportunity for a visual-studies analysis of the representation of space and spatiality in antiquity.; Die Bilder auf griechischen Münzen dienen als Erkennungs- und Identifikationszeichen der sie ausprägenden Poleis und ihrer Bewohner. Die Wiedergabe von Räumen und Orten im Münzbild ist dabei ein interessantes Phänomen: Neben real existierenden Orten werden auch imaginierte Raumstrukturen, die als Wahrzeichen einer die Münzen ausgebenden Stadt fungieren können, ins Bild gesetzt. Diese Studie zeigt im Rahmen einer Materialsammlung auf, welche räumlichen Gegebenheiten auf archaischen und klassischen griechischen Münzen abgebildet wurden und weshalb sie geeignet waren, die entsprechenden Städte zu charakterisieren und zu repräsentieren. Die griechischen Münzen mit ihrer breiten geographischen Streuung und dichten chronologischen Abfolge bieten hierbei wie kaum eine andere Kunstgattung die hervorragende Möglichkeit, eine bildwissenschaftliche Analyse der Darstellung von Raum und Räumlichkeit in der Antike durchzuführen.

Vitruvius calls it “entasis” and cites aesthetic reasons for its use already in Greek architecture. However, the exact geometrical shape of the entasis remained unexplained. It was subject to wide speculation even in later times. The large columns at the Porticus of the Pantheon in Rome are made with an entasis. This article describes the exact measurements of their proportion and a method to determine the geometry of the entasis. The Bern Digital Pantheon Model is used as the data source.

Here we present 15 new OSL-dates and four new radiocarbon-ages. Data show that fundamental environmental changes did not take place in the investigation area at least during the past 2000 years; nevertheless, subsystems may have varied significantly.
