Sokrates revised and revisited
Under the title Sokrates revised and revisited, a cooperative project dedicated to the trial of Socrates took place in 2021/22 at the Lessing-Gymnasium and the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main. Among its highlights there was an academic symposium and a staging of the trial. The volume contains the papers presented at the symposium as well as further contributions both from an academic perspective and out of the context of the actual project work. The articles reflect the current state of research on the Socrates trial and illustrate the great potential of creative debate on the ancient tradition.
Die letzte Fahrt
The Early Urnfield period wagon grave from Essenbach (Landshut district, Lower Bavaria) uncovered during a planned excavation in 2011 is an important new exhibit to the collection of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. This volume, published on the occasion of an exhibition on this important feature, presents the Essenbach wagon grave and categorises it in terms of the society, economy and religion of the Urnfield period.
Children on Choes
Between the second half of the fifth century BC and the first quarter of the following century, there was an increase in Athenian choes featuring images of children. A systematic analysis of these vase paintings has discovered that the painters did not document the lives of Athenian children, their activities, and how their parents perceived them. However, the choes with depictions of children is a valuable source of historical information on the self-image of Athenian men.

Sieg und Familie im frühen Prinzipat
This book examines how the military prowess of Augustus’ family was advertised within the city of Rome. The study draws on a variety of different sources. The focus is on contemporary written sources – in particular texts by the poets Virgil, Horace and Ovid. In addition, the study takes into account Rome’s monumental architecture and reports on celebrations for Augustus’ relatives held in the city. On this basis, the book paints a multifaceted, polyphonic picture of the discourse surrounding Rome's new first family and its military achievements.
Spätantike Statuenbasen aus kaiserzeitlichen Grabdenkmälern
The aim of this study is to re-examine the bases of Late Antique statues in Italy in order to identify all those which were not simply reused, but which initially had been funerary monuments. The phenomenon becomes evident when the same stone not only bears a Late Antique statue inscription, but also an earlier funerary inscription. By analysing Late Antique statue bases for the first time according to archaeological criteria, the author was able to find many more examples to which the reuse of a funerary monument applies. Considerations based on different perspectives, such as different practices of ancient reuse, provide a comprehensive assessment of this phenomenon, which is described here for the first time.

Materialien zur Archäologie in Baden-Württemberg
The "Materialien zur Archäologie in Baden-Württemberg" are an open access series of the State Office for Cultural Heritage Preservation in the Regional Council of Stuttgart (Landesamt für Denkmalpflege im Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart). It provides monographs and compilations on all subject areas of archaeological heritage conservation in Baden-Württemberg and all periods from pre- and protohistory through the Roman period and the Middle Ages to modern times.
The series was established in 2024 and supplements the traditional book publications of the State Office with an online format that is freely accessible without an embargo period. The primary aim is to publish results of archaeological excavations in Baden-Württemberg. In contrast to the print series "Forschungen und Berichte zur Archäologie in Baden-Württemberg", the focus is not on extensive scientific analyses, but on the timely publication of catalogue volumes and compilations of find material.
