… ubique naufragium …? Aspekte und Bedeutungen von Schiffsdarstellungen im Grab: II. Repertorium der Schiffsdarstellungen auf Grabdenkmälern der hellenistischen und römischen Zeit unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Inschriften
The online collection (Online-Repertorium) presented here was created out of the material used by the author for a recently published study on aspects and meaning of the representation of ships in burial monuments. Beginning simply as the by-product of preparation for the study, the collection of over 500 examples of relevant presentations of ships in the context of burial monuments was too comprehensive simply to file away at the end of study and not to make available for further use. The decision to publish electronically was guided by the intention of making as much visual material available as possible, by using hyperlinks from digital content available freely on the net. Publishing this amount of material in printed form would have been totally impractical. This online collection presents itself as a reliable source of material about the presentation of ships in burial monuments, with particular reference to the inscriptions evidenced there, alongside the current relevant collections concerning the presentation of ships in the collection from I. Pekáry and the Navis II database.

Schiffe und ihr Kontext: Darstellungen, Modelle, Bestandteile – von der Bronzezeit bis zum Ende des Byzantinischen Reiches
Seafaring was extraordinary important in Antiquity and the Middle Ages for the economy and the wielding of power. It also provided contact between distant places. Ships were on the one hand decorated and ornamented and on the other hand they were frequently objects of depictions which could range from sketchy graffiti to three-dimensional reproductions. The contexts of the depictions encompass different areas, such as public and private representation as well as religion.
This Volume assembles 18 articles that have been presented on the occasion of an international workshop in 2013. Different groups of material ranging from the period of Bronze Age until the end of the Byzantine Empire were presented as well as the development of ship-building and navigation. The depictions of ships which have investigated scanty until now were the main target of the workshop.
