Giovedì 16 giugno dell’827 le prime navi degli invasori Luigi Santagati Musulmani toccarono terra in Sicilia, a Mazara del Vallo, venu- ti alla conquista della Sicilia bizantina, a quel tempo la terra più ricca del Mediterraneo. Santagati Iniziò quel giorno il Medioevo in Sicilia ed un conflitto che sarebbe durato un secolo e mezzo e che vide contrapposti, Luigi almeno all’inizio, dei predoni assetati di bottino contro un Storia dei popolo tenace, certo bizantino ed in parte ancora romano ma soprattutto siciliano, che difese col sangue ogni palmo della propria terra. Bizantini di Sicilia Dopo 1091 anni (dal 264 a.C. sino all’827) s’interrompeva così il più lungo periodo di pace che una nazione abbia mai goduto nella storia dell’Occidente. Ed iniziava, quel giorno, a concludersi la storia, sinora celata, dei Bizantini di Sicilia dura- a i ta oltre quattro secoli e mezzo dal 535 al 965. l i c Il primo lavoro che fa finalmente luce sul periodo più buio della sto- i ria isolana presentando una Sicilia sconosciuta non solo al grande pub- S blico degli appassionati ma anche agli studiosi del settore. i d LUIGI SANTAGATI, architetto, ha pubblicato alcuni dei lavori i più interessanti ed innovativi degli ultimi decenni sulla Topografia n antica della Sicilia: i t 2004 - Carta comparata della Sicilia moderna.

Meno conosciuta delle altre ma non per questo meno importante. Sento pertanto di dover ringraziare quanti, volontariamente o meno, mi han- no spinto ed aiutato in questo mio lavoro. Primo fra tutti Calogero Miccichè, già docente di Materie Classico al Liceo Classico ed oggi docente a contratto all’Università di Palermo, valido studioso della Sicilia antica con cui da decenni condivido piaceri e passioni, che ha fatto la prima lettura di quest’opera ed una seconda revisione linguistica, non man- cando di aiuti, preziosi consigli ed indicazioni. Poi Lucia Arcifa, docente all’Università di Catania, da anni per me punto di riferimento, mai avara nei pareri, negli aiuti e nei suggerimenti, che ha riletto con attenzione e pazienza il manoscritto aiutandomi da sempre anche nella ri- cerca di libri e documenti. E Ferdinando Maurici, dirigente dell’Assessorato Regionale siciliano ai BB. CC. AA. e docente all’Università di Bologna, a cui non ho mai nascosto la mia stima, da anni mio punto d’appoggio nelle pubblicazioni, sempre presente alle mie richieste, anch’egli attento lettore del manoscritto. Devo poi un ringraziamento particolare all'amica Vincenza Milazzo in Cigna, già insegnante oggi a riposo, che ha curato tutte le traduzioni inedite dal greco e dal latino. Poteva anche starsene a godersi la sua meritata pensione ma l'amore per le Lettere antiche continua a coinvolgerla. Ultimo ma non ultimo Giuseppe Amico già geometra alla Soprintendenza ai BB CC AA di Caltanissetta; dalle nostre discussioni sono nate utilissime indica- zioni di metodo che non ho mai dimenticato.

Inoltre integra il testo con alcune notizie, pur secondarie, pervenutemi solo dopo la pubblicazione e portando il numero delle pagine da 416 a 420 con l’inserimento della Lettera di Fozio nell’Appendice. AVVERTENZE I nomi in greco medievale degli insediamenti, delle persone e delle cose se non attestati con certezza in documenti o scritti del periodo, sono stati rilevati dal Dizionario onomastico della Sicilia di Girolamo Caracausi, opera misconosciuta ma non per questo meno importante di tante altre. La grafia delle parole arabe è stata rilevata da lavori a volte datati; pertanto non sempre corrisponde perfettamente alla maniera attualmente usata di translitterazione dall’alfabeto arabo a quello latino. Ma non posso però fare a meno di dissociarmi dall’uso di dare i suoni utilizzando lettere straniere che non hanno il corrispondente in italiano; ad esempio con la g, sostituita dalla j francese o inglese. Per non parlare della sc sostituita dalla sh francese o inglese, della gh sostituita dalla g' e della sc e sci sostituita dalla s'. E questo vale anche per la w utilizzata per la u. Gli accenti â î û sono da pronunciare per lo più aspirati. La c, lettera inesistente nel nostro alfabeto, ha un suono di h gutturale non in uso nelle lingue europee come, ad esempio, nella parola qalcat (rocca) ed cayn (fon- tana). Per favorire la lettura scorrevole del testo non sono state utilizzate ab- breviazioni ricercate ma, piuttosto, contrazioni che riportano immediata- mente al testo citato. Pertanto invece di utilizzare, ad esempio, l’abbreviazione BAS per Bi- blioteca arabo-sicula di Michele Amari o, a complicare le cose, Amari 9 Print to PDF without this message by purchasing novaPDF (http://www.novapdf.com/) Luigi Santagati 1880, ho preferito usare la dizione "Amari Biblioteca" di più immediata comprensione così come ho preferito scrivere "Amari Storia" per indicare la Storia dei Musulmani di Sicilia. Per le opere d’Amari e, in particolare, per quanto riguarda la Biblioteca arabo-sicula, ogni riferimento è legato all'edizione edita da Ermanno Loescher nel 1880-9 in 2 volumi più un'appendice.

    The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the D

    The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Marion Woodrow Kruse, III Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Advisor; Benjamin Acosta-Hughes; Nathan Rosenstein Copyright by Marion Woodrow Kruse, III 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the use of Roman historical memory from the late fifth century through the middle of the sixth century AD. The collapse of Roman government in the western Roman empire in the late fifth century inspired a crisis of identity and political messaging in the eastern Roman empire of the same period. I argue that the Romans of the eastern empire, in particular those who lived in Constantinople and worked in or around the imperial administration, responded to the challenge posed by the loss of Rome by rewriting the history of the Roman empire. The new historical narratives that arose during this period were initially concerned with Roman identity and fixated on urban space (in particular the cities of Rome and Constantinople) and Roman mythistory. By the sixth century, however, the debate over Roman history had begun to infuse all levels of Roman political discourse and became a major component of the emperor Justinian’s imperial messaging and propaganda, especially in his Novels. The imperial history proposed by the Novels was aggressivley challenged by other writers of the period, creating a clear historical and political conflict over the role and import of Roman history as a model or justification for Roman politics in the sixth century.
  • Byzantium's Balkan Frontier

    Byzantium's Balkan Frontier

    This page intentionally left blank Byzantium’s Balkan Frontier is the first narrative history in English of the northern Balkans in the tenth to twelfth centuries. Where pre- vious histories have been concerned principally with the medieval history of distinct and autonomous Balkan nations, this study regards Byzantine political authority as a unifying factor in the various lands which formed the empire’s frontier in the north and west. It takes as its central concern Byzantine relations with all Slavic and non-Slavic peoples – including the Serbs, Croats, Bulgarians and Hungarians – in and beyond the Balkan Peninsula, and explores in detail imperial responses, first to the migrations of nomadic peoples, and subsequently to the expansion of Latin Christendom. It also examines the changing conception of the frontier in Byzantine thought and literature through the middle Byzantine period. is British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, Keble College, Oxford BYZANTIUM’S BALKAN FRONTIER A Political Study of the Northern Balkans, – PAUL STEPHENSON British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow Keble College, Oxford The Pitt Building, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom The Edinburgh Building, Cambridge CB2 2RU, UK 40 West 20th Street, New York, NY 10011-4211, USA 477 Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne, VIC 3207, Australia Ruiz de Alarcón 13, 28014 Madrid, Spain Dock House, The Waterfront, Cape Town 8001, South Africa http://www.cambridge.org © Paul Stephenson 2004 First published in printed format 2000 ISBN 0-511-03402-4 eBook (Adobe Reader) ISBN 0-521-77017-3 hardback Contents List ofmaps and figurespagevi Prefacevii A note on citation and transliterationix List ofabbreviationsxi Introduction .Bulgaria and beyond:the Northern Balkans (c.–) .The Byzantine occupation ofBulgaria (–) .Northern nomads (–) .Southern Slavs (–) .The rise ofthe west,I:Normans and Crusaders (–) .
  • The Maltese Islands and the Sea in Antiquity

    The Maltese Islands and the Sea in Antiquity

    THE MALTESE ISLANDS AND THE SEA IN ANTIQUITY The Maltese Islands and the Sea in Antiquity TIMMY GAMBIN The events of history often lead to the islands… F. Braudel THE STRETCHES OF SEA EXTANT BETWEEN ISLANDS AND mainland may be observed as having primary-dual functionalities: that of ‘isolating’ islands and that of providing connectivity with land masses that lay beyond the islands’ shores. On smaller islands especially, access to the sea provided a gateway from which people, goods and ideas could flow. This chapter explores how, via their surrounding seas, events of history often led to the islands of Malta and Gozo. The timeframe covered consists of over one thousand years (circa 700 BC to circa 400 AD); a fluid period that saw the island move in and out of the political, military and economic orbits of various powers that dominated the Mediterranean during these centuries. Another notion of duality can be observed in the interaction that plays out between those coming from the outside and those inhabiting the islands. It would be mistaken to analyze Maltese history solely in the context of great powers that touched upon and ‘colonized’ the islands. This historical narrative will also cover important aspects such as how the islands were perceived from those approaching from out at sea: were the islands a hazard, a haven or possibly both at one and the same time? It is also essential to look at how the sea was perceived by the islanders: did the sea bring welcome commercial activity to the islands shores; did it carry 1 THE MALTESE ISLANDS AND THE SEA pirate vessels and enemy ships? As important as these questions are, this narrative would be incomplete without reference to how the sea helped shape and mould the way in which the people living on Malta and Gozo chose (or were forced) to live.

  • Pottery from Roman Malta

    Pottery from Roman Malta

    Cover Much of what is known about Malta’s ancient material culture has come to light as a result of antiquarian research or early archaeological work – a time where little attention Anastasi MALTA ARCHAEOLOGICAL REVIEW SUPPLEMENT 1 was paid to stratigraphic context. This situation has in part contributed to the problem of reliably sourcing and dating Maltese Roman-period pottery, particularly locally produced forms common on nearly all ancient Maltese sites. Pottery from Roman Malta presents a comprehensive study of Maltese pottery forms from key stratified deposits spanning the first century BC to mid-fourth century AD. Ceramic material from three Maltese sites was analysed and quantified in a bid to understand Maltese pottery production during the Roman period, and trace the type and volume of ceramic-borne goods that were circulating the central Mediterranean during the period. A short review of the islands’ recent literature on Roman pottery is discussed, followed by a detailed Pottery from Roman Malta contextual summary of the archaeological contexts presented in this study. The work is supplemented by a detailed illustrated catalogue of all the forms identified within the assemblages, presenting the wide range of locally produced and imported pottery types typical of the Maltese Roman period. Maxine Anastasi is a Lecturer at the Department of Classics and Archaeology, University of Malta. She was awarded a DPhil in Archaeology from the University of Oxford for her dissertation on small-island economies in the Central Mediterranean. Her research primarily focuses on Roman pottery in the central Mediterranean, with a particular Malta from Roman Pottery emphasis on Maltese assemblages.

    Multicultural Exchange in the Norman Palaces of Twelfth

    A Changing Mosaic: Multicultural Exchange in the Norman Palaces of Twelfth-Century Sicily by Dana Katz A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Dana Katz 2016 A Changing Mosaic: Multicultural Exchange in the Norman Palaces of Twelfth-Century Sicily by Dana Katz Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation examines the twelfth-century residences associated with the Norman Hautevilles in the parklands that surrounded their capital at Palermo. One of the best-preserved ensembles of medieval secular architecture, the principal monuments are the palaces of La Zisa and La Cuba, the complexes of La Favara and Lo Scibene, the hunting lodge at Parco, and the palace at Monreale. The Norman conquest of Sicily in the previous century dramatically altered the local population’s religious and cultural identity. Nevertheless, an Islamic legacy persisted in the park architecture, arranged on axial plans with waterworks and ornamented with muqarnas vaults. By this time, the last Norman king, William II, and his court became aligned with contemporaries in the Latin West, and Muslims became marginalized in Sicily. Part One examines the modern “discovery” and reception of the twelfth-century palaces. As secular examples built in an Islamic mode, they did not fit preconceived paradigms of medieval Western architecture in the scholarly literature, greatly endangering their preservation. My examination reconstructs the vast landscape created by the Norman kings, who modified their surroundings on a monumental scale. Water in the parklands was harnessed to provide for ii artificial lakes and other waterscapes onto which the built environment was sited.

Mdina itself was founded as Maleth in around the 8th century BC by the Phoenicians and was later renamed Melite by the Romans. Under the Byzantine or Arab occupation the area was reduced and adopted its present name. Mdina remained the capital of Malta up until the Knights of St. John arrived in 1530 and had seen a transformation from a medieval city to a largely Baroque one due in part to damage caused in 1693 by an earthquake. 1 St. Paul's Catacombs St.Paul’s Catacombs are a typical complex of interconnected, underground Roman cemeteries that were in use up to the 4th century AD. They are located on the outskirts of the old Roman capital Melite (today’s Mdina), since Roman law prohibited burials within the city. St Paul’s Catacombs represent the earliest and largest archaeological evidence of Christianity and Judaism in Malta. St. Paul's Grotto & WWII Shelters The Wignacourt Collegiate Museum at Rabat Malta was formerly the baroque residence of the Chaplains of the Knights of St. John. Originally inaugurated by Grand Master Alof de Wignacourt (1601-1622), it has recently reopened after a thorough refurbishment of the whole building together with the restoration of most of the artworks which it presently hosts.

    Warships of the First Punic War: an Archaeological Investigation

    WARSHIPS OF THE FIRST PUNIC WAR: AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION AND CONTRIBUTORY RECONSTRUCTION OF THE EGADI 10 WARSHIP FROM THE BATTLE OF THE EGADI ISLANDS (241 B.C.) by Mateusz Polakowski April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. David J. Stewart Major Department: Program in Maritime Studies of the Department of History Oared warships dominated the Mediterranean from the Bronze Age down to the development of cannon. Purpose-built warships were specifically designed to withstand the stresses of ramming tactics and high intensity impacts. Propelled by the oars of skilled rowing crews, squadrons of these ships could work in unison to outmaneuver and attack enemy ships. In 241 B.C. off the northwestern coast of Sicily, a Roman fleet of fast ramming warships intercepted a Carthaginian warship convoy attempting to relieve Hamilcar Barca’s besieged troops atop Mount Eryx (modern day Erice). The ensuing naval battle led to the ultimate defeat of the Carthaginian forces and an end to the First Punic War (264–241 B.C.). Over the course of the past 12 years, the Egadi Islands Archaeological Site has been under investigation producing new insights into the warships that once patrolled the wine dark sea. The ongoing archaeological investigation has located Carthaginian helmets, hundreds of amphora, and 11 rams that sank during the course of the battle. This research uses the recovered Egadi 10 ram to attempt a conjectural reconstruction of a warship that took part in the battle. It analyzes historical accounts of naval engagements during the First Punic War in order to produce a narrative of warship innovation throughout the course of the war.
