Last Men Standing: Chlamydatus Portraits and Public Life in Late Antique Corinth
Notable among the marble sculptures excavated at Corinth are seven portraits of men wearing the long chlamys of Late Antique imperial office. This unusual costume, contemporary portrait heads, and inscribed statue bases all help confirm that new public statuary was created and erected at Corinth during the 4th and 5th centuries. These chlamydatus portraits, published together here for the first time, are likely to represent the Governor of Achaia in his capital city, in the company of local benefactors. Among the last works of the ancient sculptural tradition, they form a valuable source of information on public life in Late Antique Corinth

Specificity of C-13 NMR Shielding Calculations in Thiocarbonyl Compounds
Rozhenko AB, Trachevsky VV. Specificity of C-13 NMR Shielding Calculations in Thiocarbonyl Compounds. PHOSPHORUS SULFUR AND SILICON AND THE RELATED ELEMENTS. 2009;184(6):1386-1405.Isotropic C-13 nuclear magnetic shielding values (sigma(iso)) and corresponding chemical shift magnitudes (delta(C)) have been calculated for the large series of the thiocarbonyl compounds using DFT (RI-BP86 and B3LYP) and ab initio (RHF and MP2, with or without resolution of the identity approximation) levels of theory and different basis sets. As expected, the Hartree-Fock method and hybrid B3LYP approach essentially overestimate deshielding of the C=S carbon nuclei. The RI-BP86 level of approximation provides a noticeably better agreement with the experiment and can be used for calculations of the theoretical C-13 NMR spectra for the most classes of the thiocarbonyl compounds. Geometry optimizations and the nuclear magnetic shielding calculations using the MP2 level of theory provide the most reliable results. The resolution of the identity algorithm implemented into the TURBOMOLE program set does not affect the calculated sigma(iso) and delta C values compared to the strict MP2 nuclear magnetic shielding calculations (using the GAUSSIAN-03 program packet). A poor agreement with the experiment found in the case of the thiourea and thiosemicarbazide derivatives is referred to the different conformations of these species in the gas phase, solid state, and solution
