List of Inscriptions from Thewestern Empire Recording Interest Being appendix 1 List of Inscriptions from the Western Empire Recording Interest being Drawn The following table lists the inscriptions used for this study which record some interest being returned from some principal outlay. I do not list the dates of the inscriptions, as most are unknown. All inscriptions here, however, are either securely or can be reasonable assumed to have been set up during the first two and a half centuries ce. The catalogue numbers referenced in the above chapters refer to the ‘#’ here. Each inscription is listed with the Roman province in which it was found as well as the findspot—the town or city from where the inscription came (the Latin name is given where applicable, otherwise modern names are used). ‘Type’ refers to whether the interest taken from the endowment’s principle was described in the inscription’s text using the Latin phrase for interest (ex usuris), or the more generic term meaning return (ex reditu), or where both are used. I also note the instances where some piece of property is specifically mentioned as forming part of the principle recording (land) in the ‘Type’ column. The ‘Reference’ column gives the standard bibliographic note for the inscription.

    LAMBAESIS TO THE REIGN OF HADRIAN By DIANE MARIE HOPPER EVERMAN " Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma December, 1977 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS July 25, 1980 -n , ,111e.5J s LAMBAESIS TO THE REIGN OF HADRIAN Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii 10S2909 PREFACE Lambaesis was a Roman Imperial military fortress in North Africa in the modern-day nation of Algeria. Rome originally acquired the territory as a result of the defeat of Carthage in the Punic Wars. Expansion of territory and settlement of surplus population were two ideas behind its Romanization. However, North Africa's greatest asset for becoming a province was its large yield of grain. This province furnished most of the wheat for the empire. If something happened to hinder its annual production level then Rome and its provinces would face famine. Unlike most instances of acquiring territory Rome did not try to assimilate the native transhumant population. Instead these inhabitants held on to their ancestral lands until they were forcibly removed. This territory was the most agriculturally productive; unfortunately, it was also the area of seasonal migration for the native people. Lambaesis is important in this scheme because it was the base of the solitary legion in North Africa, the III Legio Augusta. After beginning in the eastern section of the province just north of the Aures Mountains the legion gradually moved west leaving a peaceful area behind. The site of Lambaesis was the III Legio Augusta's westernmost fortress.

  • Rusky, S Francouzským Résumé, Je Slibným Začátkem Další Mezinárodní Spolupráce Při Archeo­ Logickém Výzkumu Na Krymu, Který Má Historii Již Delší Než 150 Let
    ZPRÁVY 151 rusky, s francouzským résumé, je slibným začátkem další mezinárodní spolupráce při archeo­ logickém výzkumu na Krymu, který má historii již delší než 150 let. Gabriel Hejztar Libyca. Pod tímto názvem, který oživuje jméno spisu někdejšího krále mauretánského Juby II. Atfivxá, vychází od r. 1953 v městě Alžíru archeologický zpravodaj (Bulletin du Service des Antiquités de 1'Algérie), jehož zakladatelem je Louis Leschi, předčasně zemřelý r. 1954. Přispěvateli jsou jeho spolupracovníci, kteří vesměs vedou nebo vedli archeologické výzkumy v Alžírsku. První část časopisu o dvou sešitech je věnována anthropologii a pre­ historii celé Afriky a druhá část, též o dvou sešitech, archeologii a epigrafice oblasti Alžírska v časovém rozsahu od doby libyjské, přes punskou, římskou, vandalskou do doby byzantské. Obsah jednotlivých ročníků řady archeologicko epigrafické o rozsahu kolem 400 stran je velmi bohatý. Podává každoroční výtěžky archeologické výzkumné činnosti, t. j. archeologické a epigrafické dokumenty a zpracování jednotlivých vybraných památek nových i starších z alžírských musejních sbírek. V programu nejsou články a studie obecně historické nebo theoretické. Pro ty je určena Revue Africaine. Část epigrafická uveřejňuje význačné nápisy nové a starší, dosud nepublikované nebo publikované způsobem nedosti vyhovujícím, a v mo­ nografických článcích řeší některé epigraficko historické problémy na podkladě nově získaného materiálu. Zvláštní oddíl je určen pro identifikaci a interpretaci vybraných nových doku­ mentů. Připojena je kronika nálezů jednotlivých let od r. 1953 podle nalezišť, mezi nimiž přední místo mají: Cherchel (stv. Caesarea), Tipasa, Hippone (Hippo Begius), Khamissa (Thubursicum Numidarum), Madaura, Guelma (Calama), Timgad (Thamugadi), Lambaesis, Tébessa (Theveste), Djemila (Cuicul), Constantine (Cirta) aj. Užitečná je připojená biblio­ grafie publikací, týkajících se oblasti alžírské, sestavená podle jednotlivých historických období od periody libyjskopunské do byzantské.

This series focuses on the resulting diversity within Late Antique society, emphasizing cultural connections and exchanges; questions of unity and inclusion, alienation and conflict; and the processes of syncretism and change.

    EPIGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FOR BOUNDARY DISPUTES IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE by Thomas Elliott A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2004 Approved by _____________________________________ Advisor: Professor Richard Talbert _____________________________________ Reader: Professor Jerzy Linderski _____________________________________ Reader: Professor Mary Boatwright _____________________________________ Reader: Professor George Houston _____________________________________ Reader: Professor Melissa Bullard ii This page intentionally left blank. iii © 2004 Thomas Elliott ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iv This page intentionally left blank. v ABSTRACT THOMAS ELLIOTT: Epigraphic Evidence for Boundary Disputes in the Roman Empire (Under the direction of Richard Talbert) This dissertation presents all published Greek and Latin epigraphic documents relating to internal boundary disputes of the Roman empire. In date, it spans the period from 2 BC to the third century AD. Spatially, the documents derive from 12 provinces ( Achaia, Africa, Asia, Baetica, Cilicia, Creta et Cyrene, Dalmatia, Iudaea, Lusitania, Macedonia, Moesia and Syria ), plus Italy. The presentation of each includes a text, English translation, bibliography and commentary. Analytical chapters expand upon recent published work by G. Burton and B. Campbell. Terminological analysis permits classification of epigraphic and literary evidence into five categories: boundary disputes, restoration of public and sacred lands, other land disputes, the assignment of boundaries and other authoritative demarcations involving Roman officials. The analysis also provides a more focused definition of several Latin and Greek words that indicate the delivery of a verdict by a Roman official ( decretum, sententia, iudicium, ἀποφάσις, κρίσις, ἐπικρίμα ).

  • Colored Marble Column Shafts in Algeria* John Herrmann, Robert
    Colored marble column shafts in Algeria* John Herrmann, Robert Tykot, and Annewies van den Hoek Keywords: high status Aegean marble, local marble, pre-eminence of Caesarea, Theveste. Parole chiave: : marmo Egeo di alto status, marmo locale, preminenza di Caesarea, Theveste. Abstract: Colored marble columns shafts must have been the single most costly item per unit in an ancient Roman building, and they would have been a special source of both beauty and prestige. In Roman times, prestigious materials were connected not only with wealth but also with high status. Furthermore, for audiences in the western Mediterranean especially, the Eastern provenances of most of elite marbles gave them added associations of Roman grandeur and conquest. Algeria, encompassing much of ancient Numidia and Mauretania, gives a vivid demonstration of the as- sociation of status and imported marble column shafts. Caesarea, modern Cherchel, outshines all other Algerian sites in its wealth of imported colored shafts. This superiority is clearly connected with its political status as capital, first of the Mauretanian kingdom and later of the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis. Imported shafts appear at other Algerian sites, but much more rarely, as will be seen. Local colored marble shafts also conferred status and beauty in some Algerian sites, but they seem to be extremely scarce at Cherchel, as if to confirm their secondary rank. Throughout Algeria colored limestone shafts were also used as supplements or substitutes for colored marble. I fusti in marmo colorato devono essere stati l’articolo singolo più costoso per unità nell’ambito di un edificio romano e, in quanto tali, costituirebbero una fonte speciale di bellezza e prestigio.
