Hur ny var nyplatonismen? by Anton Svanqvist

“…In this paper I have outlined some ways to substantiate these claims, by showing that (1) the term ”Neoplatonism” was coined and cemented in modern times by Protestant scholars wishing to dissociate Plato from his late-antique followers, who were regarded as anti-Christian; that (2) Plotinus’ key doctrine of principles can in fact be discerned in Plato’s oral teachings as transmitted by Aristotle and other disciples, as well as by ancient commentators and doxographers; and that (3) this same doctrine of principles may be gleaned from Plato’s written philosophy as well, since it is hinted at and presupposed throughout the dialogues, albeit in a way consistent with Plato’s explicit refusal to commit his loftiest doctrines to writing. …”

The House of Aion in Nea Paphos: seat of an artistic synodos? by Elżbieta Jastrzębowska

“…The much-discussed mosaic with mythological decoration in the triclinium and the newly analyzed wall paintings in one of the rooms (No. 7), preserving the figures of Apollo and three of the Muses, are typical decorative elements of late antique Roman elite houses. And yet, the layout of the building, the triclinium located at the entrance to the house, and the presence of two rooms with a wooden floor, laid over an earlier water cistern converted into a cellar, possibly a treasury, suggest that the function of the complex was not residential at all. …”
