Tourists to the archaeological site of Tiwanaku are presented with ancient calendars, of which the Gateway of the Sun is the most important, famous, and beautiful. Arthur Posnansky and other early 20th-century archaeologists claimed that its inscriptions constituted a written calendar. These claims were intimately connected to narratives of Tiwanaku as a central source of knowledge in both pre-Columbian times and the contemporary world. Posnansky presented his interpretation of Tiwanaku’s calendars as a response to the debates of the World Calendar Movement, which in the 1930s was attempting to rationalize the Gregorian calendar. In the Gateway, Posnansky found a uniquely Bolivian response to the international, North Atlantic-dominated scientific community’s search for a rational way to keep time in the world economy. Bolivian intellectuals merged their interest in the indigenous past with their concerns about the role of the modernist Bolivian state in the global system.

Dieser Text ist gewissermaßen die »Mutter« aller Reiseführer über die ewige Stadt. Er liegt zahlreichen lateinischen und muttersprachlichen Varianten und Redaktionen zugrunde. Zugleich ist er ein wichtiges Zeugnis für die Wiedergeburt der Stadt und ihres Selbstbewusstseins im 12. Jahrhundert. Von diesem Text, der in lateinischer Sprache schwer zugänglich ist, gibt es bislang keine deutsche Übersetzung. In dieser hier erstmals vorgelegten lateinisch-deutschen Ausgabe sind zahlreiche Anmerkungen enthalten. Karten und Bilder der beschriebenen »Wunderwerke« sowie eine bibliophile Ausstattung machen den Band zum Pflichttitel für jeden Romkenner und Romliebhaber. Eine knappe Einleitung zur Stadtgeschichte, zum Pilgerwesen sowie zur Geschichte dieses Führers komplettiert diese Ausgabe.

This paper focuses on the construction date of the Neo-Assyrian city walls on the western front of Ashur. W. Andrae and his team excavated the walls on a large scale and established that they were both referred to in Shalmaneser III’s inscriptions. However, a reconsideration of the archaeological and textual evidence suggests that not the „Binnenwall,“ but the „Niederwall“ was constructed at the same time as the „Außenwall.“ This implies that Shalmaneser III’s inscriptions actually never mentioned the „Binnenwall“ which was probably not built until the end or even sometime after of his reign.
