NORTHERN ITALY At end 2. GREECE AND ASIA MINOR „ 3. SPAIN „ 4. ASIA MINOR „ EDITORS' NOTE Professor Evan T. Sage, the editor of this and the two preceding vohimes of the Loeb edition of Livy, died in the Barnes Hospital, Saint Louis, after a severe surgical operation, on May 30, 1936. He was entering upon his fifty-sixth year, having been born May 16, 1881. A native of Nebraska, his under- graduate studies were pursued at the University of Nebraska, from which he received his first degree. He then entered the University of Chicago, which conferred upon him in 1906 the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. After teaching in the State Univer- sities of Idaho and Washington he was called to the University of Pittsburgh in 1913. There he worked with marked success, both as a teacher of Latin and as the directing head of the Department of Classics. Professor Sage's scholarly pursuits lay in two dis- tinct and unrelated fields—history, particularly the constitutional and political history of the last two centuries of Republican Rome, and palaeography and textual criticism, these centring about Petronius. He had personally collated most of the manuscripts of this author and had acquired during several periods of investigation in the libraries of Europe not only a large apparatus for reconstituting the text of Petronius but also an intimate knowledge of the habits and methods of work of the classical scholars of the Renaissance. vii EDITORS' NOTE Before his death Professor Sage had read all the proofs of the present volume at least once ; he had also prepared the critical notes and a considerable portion of the translation of the rest of Livy from Book XL on. It will be the task of another editor to fill in the gap between Volume V, where Professor Foster left off, and Vol. IX, where Professor Sage began. The Editors. Sepiernber 21, 1936. vni TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE This preface should be brief. The Books contained in Volume XI deal with minor matters, and Livy feels himself more at leisure, so that he can include anecdotes and digressions. Another possible con- sequence is that Livy, having less of moment to relate, felt able to examine details more closely and to compare his sources more consciously. This may be the explanation of the appearance here of the one serious bit of historical criticism to be found in Livy (XXXIX. lii). The textual problem grows more serious in this Volume. Our best MS., B, now breaks off with inci (XXXVIII. xlvi. 4). The major difference between my text and that of the latest revision of Weissenborn— Mliller is that I have occasionally restored readings of B, and I believe that careful examination will reveal more readings which should be received into the text. But there are many indications that the consensus of the minor MSS. is of almost equal value, although we lack the precision of information that is necessary before accepting this as a principle of textual criticism in the case of Livy. It would be fortunate if this were so. But the individual minor MSS. do not always agree among themselves, and I have usually accepted and reported as the reading off the reading of the majority of the MSS., TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE so far as I could determine it from the reports accessible to me. In this part of the text I have preferred readings of M, where reported, and have restored some \nthout remark. A more difficult question is the relative authority of certain sixteenth- century editions which are presumably based, at least in part, on 3f and possibly on the lost S{jpirensis). The frequent references of Gelenius to " antiqua scriptura," " archetypa," " ex archetypis," " vetusti codices " and the like are exasperating in their sugo^estion of buried treasures M'hich seem the more valuable as they are at present lost to us. In prac- tice I have followed 3/ where it was reported, r when there was no report of M, and have furnished critical notes on passages where r was preferred to yi or the sixteenth-century editions or later conjectures were preferred to Mt- My obligations as to index, maps, incidental assistance, and editorial aid and encouragement are unchanged. No repetition of details would prove an adequate expression of my debts. New bibliography is covered in the notes, which I have tried to make useful from the historical standpoint, as before, and from the literary stand- point as well.

X INTRODUCTORY NOTE By the year 189 b.c. a Roman optimist (if such an one existed) might well have said that Rome's eastern difficulties were over : Philip had been reduced to impotence by Flamininus ; the Aetolians had been severely punished ; now Antiochus had been eliminated as a factor in Asian politics by Scipio. The only other eastern powers demanding con- sideration, Egypt, Pergamum and Rhodes, were Rome's allies and the last two were deeply in Rome's debt by reason of the projected settlement of Asia. Yet at the same moment a Roman pessimist might have argued just as insistently that her troubles in the east were just beginning, Asia, he would have admitted, presented no threatening problem. Philip had been allowed to regain some of his lost Greek possessions as compensation for his assistance against the Aetolians and Antiochus. The Aetolians had been defeated but not crushed completely, and their fundamental grievance, that they had been ill-treated after the victory over Philip, had not been removed. Perhaps most serious of all was the fact that Rome had no real base of operations east of the Adriatic : this was a theoretically laudable, but practically unfortunate, consequence of her desire to avoid assuming territorial responsibilities in the east. Within Europe there were numerous situations INTRODUCTORY NOTE any one of which might provoke a war. In the Peloponnesus there was the Achaean-Lacedae- monian problem, since Rome had never pronounced judgment on the Achaean policy after the murder of Nabis. In the north there was the constant hostility of the Aetolians, rendered for the moment more serious because of the recent Macedonian expansion. These were only the most apparent dangers. Whether Rome honestly believed that a conquered nation could remain conquered and sub- missive after the withdrawal of Roman troops is a question which we are unable to answer ; whether she honestly believed that the Greek states were capable, at this time, of self-government is also a question to which there is no answer. I fear that Roman generals, ambitious for triumphs and material rewards, were quite ^^'illing to defer as long as possible a definitive settlement in Greece for the sake of the fairly easy victories that were promised. In Asia, the withdrawal of Antiochus left a multi- tude of unsolved problems, and the solution of some of these soon appeared to be exceedingly profitable undertakings : the Galatian campaign will serve as a sufficient example. Another solution of the eastern problem might have been the enlargement of some one state, bound firmly by ties of alliance and dependence to Rome, which could have dominated the eastern Medi- terranean and by virtue of her military superiority have maintained peace there. If Rome looked for such a state she failed to find one that could be so enlarged and could still be trusted. There was nothing left for Rome, apart from the cynically brutal course of allo^^ing the eastern states to INTRODUCTORY NOTE destroy one another, except to assume the informal protectorate which she does insensibly assume in the years covered by this Volume. There seems little doubt that public sentiment would have rejected such a settlement as a formal occupation of Greece and Asia had it been proposed in Rome. But, in addition to sincere differences of opinion among Romans, there was an almost unanimous sentiment, which seems to increase in strength, that in some form or other Roman control of the east w^as necessary. But so great was the Romans' faith in Roman power that they were inclined to cut through diplomatic and political red tape and announce decisions in a form so categorically brief as to be unintelligible to others who were not Romans. One suspects that the Romans talked in riddles so frequently because they were not themselves sure of what they meant. It was easier to let time decide the exact interpretation and to punish the unfor- tunates who had in the meantime misunderstood. The Books contained in this Volume record events of a period of transition. With no major enemy to confront her, Rome turns her attention to smaller problems.

  • Female Property Ownership and Status in Classical and Hellenistic Sparta
    Female Property Ownership and Status in Classical and Hellenistic Sparta Stephen Hodkinson University of Manchester 1. Introduction The image of the liberated Spartiate woman, exempt from (at least some of) the social and behavioral controls which circumscribed the lives of her counterparts in other Greek poleis, has excited or horrified the imagination of commentators both ancient and modern.1 This image of liberation has sometimes carried with it the idea that women in Sparta exercised an unaccustomed influence over both domestic and political affairs.2 The source of that influence is ascribed by certain ancient writers, such as Euripides (Andromache 147-53, 211) and Aristotle (Politics 1269b12-1270a34), to female control over significant amounts of property. The male-centered perspectives of ancient writers, along with the well-known phenomenon of the “Spartan mirage” (the compound of distorted reality and sheer imaginative fiction regarding the character of Spartan society which is reflected in our overwhelmingly non-Spartan sources) mean that we must treat ancient images of women with caution. Nevertheless, ancient perceptions of their position as significant holders of property have been affirmed in recent modern studies.3 The issue at the heart of my paper is to what extent female property-holding really did translate into enhanced status and influence. In Sections 2-4 of this paper I shall approach this question from three main angles. What was the status of female possession of property, and what power did women have directly to manage and make use of their property? What impact did actual or potential ownership of property by Spartiate women have upon their status and influence? And what role did female property-ownership and status, as a collective phenomenon, play within the crisis of Spartiate society? First, however, in view of the inter-disciplinary audience of this volume, it is necessary to a give a brief outline of the historical context of my discussion.

The official cause of the war was Nabis' continued occupation of Argos, the great city of the northeastern Peloponnese. 1 A strong case can be made that the liberation of Argos was indeed the crucial and sincere goal of the war,2 although the reasons for demanding Nabis' with­ drawal from Argos may have been somewhat more complex.3 Nabis was soon blockaded in Sparta itself and decided to open negotiations for peace. Livy 34.3lfprovides us with a detailed account of the sub­ sequent encounter between N abis and Flamininus in the form of a debate over the justice of the war, characterized by contradictory assertions about the history of Sparta's relations with Rome and the recent history of Argos. Despite the acrimony, a preliminary peace agreement was reached but was soon overturned by popular resis­ tance to it in Sparta. So the war continued, with an eventual Roman 1 Cf. esp.

"In the Mosque of El Aksa," he writes, "you will remember that there is a long plain room opening out at the south-east angle, called the Mosque of Omar, in which the only object of interest whatever is a recess supported by two twisted pillars, and called the Mihrab, or Praying-place of Omar. You may, perhaps, remember that the pillars on each side of this recess, of Solomonic twisted pattern and polished marble, appear to have been turned upside down, and to have their capitals of greyish stone in broken leaf-like patterns below.

  • PHILOPOEMEN IMMODICUS and SUPERBUS and SPARTA the Decision Taken by the Achaean League in the Autumn of 192 B.G at Aegium To
    PHILOPOEMEN IMMODICUS AND SUPERBUS AND SPARTA The decision taken by the Achaean League in the autumn of 192 B.G at Aegium to wage war against the Aetolians and their allies was crucial to the Greeks and their future. Greece proper had been divided for generations among several political bodies — and, in fact, had never been united into one state. Yet all those known as Έλληνες felt the natural human desire to avoid the unnecessary violence, bloodshed, and self-destruction engendered by ceaseless competition for preeminence and hegemomy in the domestic arena. The so-called “Tragic Historians” adopted these emotions as the leitmotif of their principal efforts to delineate the deeds and omissions of the Greek leadership and populace.1 Rome’s powerful political-strategical penetration east of the Adriatic sea, into Mainland Greece, particularly during the later decades of the third century B.C, undermined the precarious balance of internal Greek politics. The embarrassment which had seized most of Greece is easily understandable. Yet the Achaeans at Aegium do not appear to have been inspired by the memory of their ancestors’ resistance to the Persians. The Achaean leaders, Philopoemen not excluded, rejected Aetolian pleas for help or, at least, non-intervention in the struggle that they had started in the name of Έλληνες for the whole of Greece. Somewhat surprisingly, the Achaean leaders hastened to declare war on the Aetolians, anticipating even the Roman crossing to Greece2. These are the bare facts available to us (Livy 35.50.2-6). However, the conventional interpretation of these occurrences derived from Polybius 3 tends to be pathetic more than historical, and consti­ tute an embellished portrait of Achaean policy and politicians of those days rather than an honest guide to the political realities of the Έλληνες and Greece proper.

It is also a period in Sparta's history too often neglected by historians both past and present. There is no monograph directly concerned with Hellenistic Sparta. For the most part, this period is briefly and only inci­ dentally covered in works dealing either with the whole history of ancient Sparta, or simply as a part of Hellenic or Hellenistic 1 2 history in toto. Both Pierre Roussel and Eug&ne Cavaignac, in their respective surveys of Spartan history, have written clear and concise chapters on the Hellenistic period. Because of the scope of their subject, however, they were forced to limit them­ selves to only the most important events and people of this time, and great gaps are left in between.

Wight, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT The Achaean League successfully extended its membership to poleis who did not traditionally share any affinity with the Achaean ethnos. This occurred, against the current of traditional Greek political development, due to a fundamental restructuring of political power within the poleis of the Peloponnesus. Due to Hellenistic, and particularly Macedonian intervention, most Peloponnesian poleis were directed by tyrants who could make decisions based on their sole judgments. The Achaean League positioned itself to directly influence those tyrants. The League offered to maintain the tyrants within their poleis so long as they joined the League, or these tyrants faced relentless Achaean attacks and assassination attempts. Through the consent of this small tyrannical elite, the Achaean League grew to encompass most of the Peloponnesus.

  • The Other Greeks: Metaphors and Ironies of Hellenism in Livy’S Fourth Decade
    THE OTHER GREEKS: METAPHORS AND IRONIES OF HELLENISM IN LIVY’S FOURTH DECADE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Douglas S. Freeble * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Professor Erik Gunderson, Adviser Approved by Professor Kirk Freudenburg, Co-Adviser ___________________________ Professor Sarah Iles Johnston Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Douglas Freeble 2004 ABSTRACT Already in the Praefatio of Livy’s work the metaphor of the importation of foreign influence is apparent. Livy chooses the annalistic narrative style as the most Roman form possible and a self -construction as an author who valorizes traditional Roman values. These authorial decisions on the modality of the narrative are intimately linked to tropology and the manufacturing of the metaphors and ironies that frame Livy’s text in books 31-45. Roman control in Thessaly is asserted by manufacturing communities in its image. These collapse miserably when the guiding Roman metaphors are questioned. The failure of Roman institutions is depicted as evidence of the restless nature of the Thessalians. A representative image of Thessaly is given in the character of Theoxena, a Thessalian exile who kills herself at a festival of Aeneas. Her story allows Romans to form an emotional bond with the Thessalians, although it maintains their essential alterity. The Galatian campaign of Manlius Vulso shows the dangers of Rome’s encounter with Hellenism. The Galatians are presented as Gallic-Greek hybrids who are no longer the great Gallic warriors of the past.

  • Ἀ Note on the Speeches of Nabis and Τ. Quinctius Flamininus (195 B.C)
    Ἀ NOTE ON THE SPEECHES OF NABIS AND Τ. QUINCTIUS FLAMININUS (195 B.C) When Nabis realized that he was on the verge of losing the war to the Romans in 195 B.C., he asked for negotiations, and was granted, beyond his own expectations, an interview with ΤὋ. Flamininus.1 According to Livy, when the two warring parties met, Nabis, the Spartan tyrant, and Flamininus, the Roman commander, spoke each in defence of his cause. An account of the two speeches is to be found in Liv. 34.31-32. It has been claimed since Ε. Schneidewind that Nabis’ speech (34.31, 1 ff) reflects a true picture of Nabis’ deeds, while Flamininus’ is but a collection of weak arguments.2 Against this generally held notion, I would like to suggest that both speeches are in fact two different interpretations of facts, some still to be found in the historical account of Livy(P).·’ The two speeches were presumably put together by Polybius or Livy in order to dramatize the clash between Rome and Sparta.4 If we leave out for our purpose the obiter dicta phrases and the rhetorical * I thank Prof. Α.
