摘要

在希腊化时期的马雷沙市，数千个地下室中的一个室内发现了一个老鼠的青铜模型装饰。这座位于犹太低地的城市的挖掘揭示了一种物质文化，反映了一个具有高生活水平和敏锐审美意识的多元文化人口。讨论中的人工制品是在97地下综合体的挖掘碎片中发现的。这个小雕像的功能可能只是装饰性的，但在希腊化的世界里，与老鼠的崇拜联系比比皆是。本文将探索考古的相似之处以及当代文学的来源，以便更好地理解这一发现的潜在功能。

The Bronze Mouse of Maresha

A molded bronze ornament of a mouse was discovered within one of the thousands of subterranean chambers in the Hellenistic–period city of Maresha. Excavations in this city, located in the Judean lowlands, have revealed a material culture that reflects a multicultural population with a high standard of living and a keen sense of aesthetics. The artifact under discussion was found within the excavated debris of Subterranean Complex 97. The function of this small statuette may have been simply ornamental, but cultic associations with mice in the Hellenistic world abound. This paper will explore archaeological parallels as well as contemporary literary sources in order to understand better the potential functions of this discovery.

The heritage of its peoples -- from urban civilization to the Bible -- both inspires and fascinates. Near Eastern Archaeology brings to life the ancient world from Mesopotamia to the Mediterranean with vibrant images and authoritative analyses.
