The beginning of Xerxes' reign (r. 486-465 B.C.E.) was characterized by the outbreak of revolts, from Greece to Babylonia, which were quickly contained. Babylonia was a focus of separatist movements, driven by the urban priestly elite. The temples that hosted them were therefore the most impacted institutions by the imperial repressions in 484 BCE. This research will investigate the ways …
the aim of the present research is to analyze comparatively the place of Court eunuchs in the Neo-Assyrian and Achaemenid Empires, through the examination of the (supposed) figures of eunuchs in the reliefs of the 'palace' of Darius I (522-486 BCE) in Persepolis (ROOT, 1979, p.78-80; KUHRT, 2007, p. 592; YAMAUCHI, 1996, p. 263) and Apadana (KUHRT, op. cit., p. 536; SCHMIDT, 1953, pl. 121-…

Therefore, this research aims to discuss the early explorer's ambition to portray Assyria in …

These cuneiform sources ar…

In this research, I study the rural villages of Al-Yahudu, Bit-Abi-râm, Bit-Nashar and their neighboring settlements during the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. I focus on tablets from CUSAS 29 and BaAr 6, records of the daily life of Judeans and other West Semitic groups deported after the Babylonian military expeditions to the Levant on the early 6th century BCE. These tablets are full of rel…
The aim of the present research project is to analyze comparatively some figures of (presumed) court eunuchs in the Neo-Assyrian and Achaemenid monumental reliefs, through an approach that privileges notions of continuity and image performance in the near eastern tradition. Court eunuchs were essentially prepubescent castrated males that most likely served in several - and often very high…
This research project investigates the development of laments into penitential prayers during the end of the Neo-Babylonian Period to the end Late Persian Period in the province of Yehud. The historical experiences of destruction were incorporated into the literary corpus of Lamentations and of Ezra-Nehemiah by a process of trauma and memory. The biblical authors elaborated the social exp…
