Examines the diplomatic and cultural implications of the exchange of symbolic objects in the ancient world This volume is a survey of one of the most interesting practices of ancient diplomacy: the gift or exchange of symbolic objects, a custom that may be as old as mankind and that can be traced with certainty back to the emergence of the first written societies. After assessing this background, the volume focuses on the Hellenistic-Roman period (from the end of the 4th century BC to the end of the 1st century BC), a historical period that was transcendental due to the intensity of contacts between human groups, cities and states. The book brings together international specialists who approach the subject from different chronological, geographical and thematic perspectives. It addresses a number of cross-cutting themes, including the relationship between gifts, loot and bribery, the anxiety in receiving or refusing presents, and the spaces of diplomatic interaction. Offering an innovative approach to the study of ancient diplomacy, based on cultural conditioning factors and subjective perceptions of the gift, it opens up new insights into the study of antiquity and the history of diplomacy.

Semiotic and linguistic approaches to physics and mathematics. In physics and mathematics, there is a growing interest in studying the meanings that teachers and students construct through the mobilization of several semiotic systems, including embodied action, such as gestures, body postures, rhythm and speech. In this article, we propose a comparison of two approaches, developed in parallel in each of these disciplines. In physics, it is the function of models in the scientific community of physicists that guides the consideration of semiotic systems to account for the reciprocal meaning of material situations and taught concepts. In mathematics, it is the very nature of activity-considered at the same time as ideal, material and sensible-which leads to a consideration of the semiotic systems which underlie it, a consideration which allows us to shed new light on the processes of teaching and learning

The presence of reverse painting on glass in the Hispanic World has been understudied by art historians, even though it has left many documentary traces and beautiful works in numerous collections. In this paper I briefly present three case studies of glass paintingin different geographical contexts: a royal Spanish convent, a rural Mexican church, and the sacristy of a church in Colombia which has paintings practically identical to a set in Spain. Through these case studies, a variety of issues, such as use and display, symbolism, translation of models and authorship, will be analyzed. In addition, the anaylsis allows us to map the circulation of the technique throughout the Hispanic World, especially in Spain and in Latin America, with its peak in the eighteenth century. The overall chronology suggests that the appearance of reverse painting on glass in Spain was motivated by the transfer of works from other European courts to the Spanish monarchy. While I have not been able to precisely date the first arrivals of paintings of this type in Spain, most of the documentary evidence points to a period of significant presence starting in the late seventeenth century. Thereafter, it was exported to the viceroyalties in Latin America. Preserved works are especially numerous in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador. The geographically transversal approach of my research aims to underline the need for shared-history studies. It is fundamental to highlight the common knowledge of artistic practice on both sides of the Atlantic, matters of taste, reception, and use of the works in the different spaces.
