Father Liebscher gave the homily, which is reprinted below. Many of us here this morning have gathered in the past to mark milestones in Father Norman Mar- tin’s life—50 years a Jesuit in 1985, 60 years a Jesuit in 1995, then 50 years a priest in 1997. Last fall, with Father Norman’s health less robust, the Jesuit community arranged a subdued celebration for his 70th. anniversary in the Order. On those occasions, Norman managed to be the star of the moment and also to point toward greater things—to the ongoing work at Santa Clara, to the Jesuit apostolate, and to God. This morning, Father Martin gathers us for one more celebration, giving thanks for the 91 years of his life, more than 70 years in the Jesuits, and 58 years of service in the priesthood. We are here because Father Martin has touched our lives, directly or indirectly— touched us with his friendship, charm, wisdom, and kindness. Once again, Father Norman also points our minds toward greater things—toward the Eucharist and the God who has called him to eternal life. I first met Father Martin in the old Donohoe Infirmary during my own freshman orientation. My roommate had been injured playing flag football. Father Norman, seeing a light on at night, thought it a good time for a sick call.

  • Der Hellenismus
    Τ STUDIA H I S O R I C A 3 DER HELLENISMUS IN KLEINAFRIKA Ν DER GRIECHISCHE KULTUREINFLUSS IN DE ΝΖΕΝ RÖMISCHEN ΡROVI NORDWESTAFRIKAS νοκ WALTER THIELING D8 ρΗΙΙι EDIZIONE ANASTATICA "L'ERMA" dí BRETSCIINEIDER - ROMA 1964 HERRN PROFESSOR DR B. KEIL 11 DANKBARER VERERRTJIG ZIIGEEIGNET VORWORT. Die Tatsache des griechischen Kultureinflusses in den romische πΡ: Provinzen Nordwestafrikas en sich ist mehrfach in der modernen Literatur über die nordafrikanischen Linder gestreift worden. Bisher fehlte jedoch eine zusammenbiegende Betrachtung dieses Problems. Ein Versuch, diese Lücke auszufüllen, ist das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit. Sie baut sich im wesentlichen auf das Materi al der Inschril%en Nordwestafrikas auf, von denen ich ausging. Da die Abschnitte über die Literatur und Archiologie lediglich als absehlieBender Rahmen für das Gesamtbild gedacht sind, habe ich dort auf eingehende eigene Untersuchungen verzichtet und mich im wesentlichen auf die vor- handene oder erreichbare Literatur besebrinkt. Scheinbar berührt sich diese Arbeit in einigen Punkten sprach- licher Untersuchung mit dem Buche von L. Bertholon „Origine et Ε. formation de la langue berbère ( Paris 1907, Leroux)" als zweiter Teil von „Les premiers colons de souche européenne dans l'Afrique du Nord." Aber das Ergebnis Bertholons klingt jedem Fachmanne unglaublich. Der heutige libysch-berbische Dialekt, der im wesent- δ lichen dem der r mischen Kaiserzeit noch entspricht, lißt sich nach ο ο Berth l n als urgriechischer, phrygischer Dialekt nachweisen. Darauf wird die Theorie von einer Ureinwanderueg giiechiseh-phrygischer Stimme nach Nordafrika gegründet und deren Dialekte ein Einfluß auf die Grazisierung der lateinischen Sprache in der Provinz zu- gewiesen. Diese Auffassung wird aber hinfällig, sobald wir erkennen, seit wann sich griechischer KultureinfluB in Nordwestafrika bemerk- bar macht, und auf welche Kreise er sich vorzugsweise erstreckte.

  • "Dominus Muntanus". Mascula/Khenchela's Epigraph and the History of a Blunder
    "Dominus Muntanus". Mascula/Khenchela's epigraph and the history of a blunder Alessandro Rossi ["Ager Veleias", 3.05 (2008)] Memoriae Peter Brock Toronto University (Thank You, professor …) 1. INTRODUCTION [1] Towards the end of IV century C.E. Basil of Caesarea explains in a long letter [2], focusing on the issue of baptism validity, whether celebrated by heretics and schismatics, that: The Pepuzans, then, are obviously heretical. For they have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit by unlawfully and shamelessly attributing the name of Paraclete to Montanus and Priscilla. They are condemned, therefore, either because they make men divine, or because they insult [3] the Holy Spirit by comparing him to men, and are thus liable to eternal condemnation because blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable [4]. What basis to be accepted, then does the baptism have of these who baptize into the Father and the Son and Montanus or Priscilla? Such an interesting notice, about the occurred identification on the liturgical level between the Cataphrygians prophets and the Paraclet, should be submitted to critics considering both the polemical pattern in which it is included, and the characteristics of the polemic itself. Discussing on the difference between baptism either officiated by heretics, unacceptable for him, or officiated by schismatics (i.e. extra ecclesiam officiators just due to discipline, and not due to doctrinal dissensions), or during illegal meetings, Basil classifies Pepuzans, this term clearly used here as synonymous of Cataphrygians/Montanists, as heretic. The baptismal formula ascribed to them, even if preserving the trinitarian form, substitutes the name of the Spirit with the name of one out of the two prophets.

    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.

Cagnat, A. Merlin et L.

Depuis longtemps déjà il était en projet et nous avions, R. Cagnat et moi, commencé les dépouillements qui sont utilisés ici et dont, après le décès du maître regretté, en 1937, j'ai dû exécuter seul la plus grosse partie. Il est en principe conçu selon les mêmes principes que son devancier. Il se distingue cependant de son prédécesseur sur plusieurs points : en premier lieu, nous n'avons donné place qu'aux inscriptions latines de la Tunisie, écartant celles de la Tripolitaine actuelle et du Maroc ; pour la Tripolitaine, il appartiendra à d'autres, mieux informés que nous ne pouvons l'être, de réunir les textes recueillis dans ce pays ; pour le Maroc, M.

  • 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.

    Sustainability and ‘The Fall of the Western Roman Empire’: Grain, Labor Markets, and Military Policies Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Graduate Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Dr. Cheryl Walker, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies by Hunter M. Bruno May 2018 Copyright by Hunter Bruno © 2018 ABSTRACT Sustainability and ‘The Fall of the Western Roman Empire’: Grain, Labor Markets, and Military Policies A thesis presented to the Graduate Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Hunter M. Bruno The issue of societal sustainability is relevant to both modern and ancient civilizations. Ancient Rome was defined and influenced by the issue of sustainability because it was integral to the fundamental structure of the Roman society. In the 5th Century CE, the fall of the Western Roman Empire took place because of consequences that resulted from the issue of sustainability. The societal factors of grain production, military policy, and labor markets all served to influence the sustainability of the Roman West. Roman military policy defined the nature of the Roman economy and established the type of labor system that it employed. Free and unfree labor markets structured the agrarian economy and formed the Roman system of internal taxation and rent collection. Local and commercial grain producers were relied upon to maintain the populations of the Roman West, uphold the Roman military, and sustain the growing servile populations.

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. By drawing upon a number of disciplines and approaches, this series sheds light on the cultural and social history of Late Antiquity and the greater Mediterranean world.
