Unless Bellovesus and his followers mistook the lacy ridge of the Dentelles de Montmirail for a range of mountains, the territory of the Tricastini is a strange place from which to contemplate the distant Alps. Either they ignored the direction assigned to them by the Druids, or the gods’ instruc- tions were exceedingly complicated: south-south-east, a deviation towards Massalia, then north-east, and fi nally south-east to New Mediolanum (fi g. 40). This all sounds like a post facto justifi cation of military conquest, a boastful bardic tale designed to make the events fi t a spurious divine plan. Yet Livy, like most ancient historians, accepted the divinatory basis of the expedition. Justinus, too, in describing the Celtic coloni- zation of Italy and later migrations to the east, said – presuming that Several minor oppida on the lines have been omitted (e.g. Les Baux-de- Provence, Mondeville by Caen, Malaucène, Vézénobres, etc.), as have tribes whose names or capitals are unknown (e.g. the Budenicenses and the inhabitants of Marduel and Tarusco). Some tribes or tribal names may diff er from those of the fourth century bc. Speculative journeys along the lines will reveal many other likely sites for which there is, at the time of writing, insuffi cient archaeological evidence (e.g. Dôle, Jouarre, Luxembourg, Montpellier, Najac, Treviso). Bearings – taken where possible from the nodal points of Mediolanum Biturigum and Alesia – are those provided by the tangent ratio of 11:7 (57.53°, 122.47°, etc.), with the exception of the Alesia–Bibracte–Gergovia line, which, for geographical reasons, is 28.2° from north rather than 28.8° (see pp. 197–8). The creation of a settlement obviously depended in part on topography, and so some leeway was presumably allowed. With a slightly broader margin, several more tribes could join the total of thirty-seven. Major oppida occurring more than 1000 metres from a line are indicated on the map: Arvii (1.5 km), Cenomani (1.5), Remi (at Bibrax) (1.7), Bergistani (2.4), Laietani (2.4), Atacini (3.1), Seduni (3.5), Ruteni (3.6), Consoranni (4.0), Atrebates (4.1), Morini (4.1), Nervii (4.1), Sagii (4.4), Ausetani (4.8), Osismi (4.8), Sequani (5.0), Veragri (5.0), Aduatuci (5.3). In retracing ancient surveys, especially over such long distances, common sense calls for certain adjustments.

  • 1 Gallo-Roman Relations Under the Early Empire by Ryan Walsh A
    Gallo-Roman Relations under the Early Empire By Ryan Walsh A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Ancient Mediterranean Cultures Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Ryan Walsh 2013 1 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This paper examines the changing attitudes of Gallo-Romans from the time of Caesar's conquest in the 50s BCE to the start of Vespasian's reign in 70-71 CE and how Roman prejudice shaped those attitudes. I first examine the conflicted opinions of the Gauls in Caesar's time and how they eventually banded together against him but were defeated. Next, the activities of each Julio-Claudian emperor are examined to see how they impacted Gaul and what the Gallo-Roman response was. Throughout this period there is clear evidence of increased Romanisation amongst the Gauls and the prominence of the region is obvious in imperial policy. This changes with Nero's reign where Vindex's rebellion against the emperor highlights the prejudices still effecting Roman attitudes. This only becomes worse in the rebellion of Civilis the next year. After these revolts, the Gallo-Romans appear to retreat from imperial offices and stick to local affairs, likely as a direct response to Rome's rejection of them.

It is transmitted primarily in Greek (Gallo-Greek) and Latin (Gallo-Latin) script, with a small number of Gaulish texts also attested in the Etruscan alphabet in Italy (Gallo-Etruscan) and with Gaulish names found in Iberian script. In this article we detail current knowledge of the linguistic content, context and classification of Gaulish, and consider the epigraphic corpus, naming practices, writing systems and the cultural interactions that shape this material. Finally, we discuss the future challenges for the study of Gaulish and some of the work that is underway which will drive our research in the 21st century. Keywords: Continental Celtic. Cultural contacts. Epigraphy. Gaul. Gaulish. Gallo-Greek. Gallo-Latin. Onomastics. Writing systems. Resumen: El galo es una lengua perteneciente a la familia celta, que está documentada en la Galia (Francia y los territorios adyacentes) desde aproximadamente el siglo II a. C. y a lo largo del período romano. Esta lengua se escribió principalmente en alfabeto griego (galo-griego) y latino (galo-latín), aunque también se cuenta con un pequeño número de textos en alfabeto etrusco en Italia (galo-etrusco) y de nombres galos en escritura ibérica.

La manca absoluta de testimonis no literaris sobre ells ha generat un llarg i complex debat que, en lloc de contemplar la manca d'evidencia no escrita com una dada positiva, ha intentat generar reconstruccions de l'evidencia textual que puguin resoldre les diverses i greus contradiccions entre els textos. Pero si es dóna un tractament diferent a l'evidencia escrita (amb una analisi de recurrencia), se la vincula amb el conjunt d'evidencia coneguda sobre els antics pobles peninsulars i s'aplica una crítica estricta que posi en evidencia les mancances de les principals propostes de reconstrucció, cal concloure que la pretesa existencia real d'una etnia lacetana, no és sinó el resultat de la confusió (escrita) amb altres dues etnies que sí van existir i de les quals hi ha testimonis ferms: els laietans i els iace­ tans. PARAULES CLAU LAIETANS, LACETANS, IACETANS, PALETNOLOGIA, CULTURA IBERICA. The ancient sources about Iberia talk about the ancient people named Lacetanian. The absolute lack of any kind of non-literary evidence about them has incited a large and old polemic attemp­ ting to solve the various and deep contradictions contained in the literary corpus. A better way to study this case consists in changing this lack of evidence into a positive datum, making a dif­ ferent use of the literary evidence by developing a recurrence analysis inserted into a larger stock of evidence about the ancient Iberian peoples.

  • Lucan's Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulf
    Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013).

  • The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A)
    The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A) David K. Faux The goal of the present work is to assemble widely scattered facts to accurately record the story of one of Europe’s most enigmatic people of the early historic era – the Cimbri. To meet this goal, the present study will trace the antecedents and descendants of the Cimbri, who reside or resided in the northern part of the Jutland Peninsula, in what is today known as the County of Himmerland, Denmark. It is likely that the name Cimbri came to represent the peoples of the Cimbric Peninsula and nearby islands, now called Jutland, Fyn and so on. Very early (3rd Century BC) Greek sources also make note of the Teutones, a tribe closely associated with the Cimbri, however their specific place of residence is not precisely located. It is not until the 1st Century AD that Roman commentators describe other tribes residing within this geographical area. At some point before 500 AD, there is no further mention of the Cimbri or Teutones in any source, and the Cimbric Cheronese (Peninsula) is then called Jutland. As we shall see, problems in accomplishing this task are somewhat daunting. For example, there are inconsistencies in datasources, and highly conflicting viewpoints expressed by those interpreting the data. These difficulties can be addressed by a careful sifting of diverse material that has come to light largely due to the storehouse of primary source information accessed by the power of the Internet. Historical, archaeological and genetic data will be integrated to lift the veil that has to date obscured the story of the Cimbri, or Cimbrian, peoples.

  • Was Catu- Really Celtic for Battle?
    Was Catu- Really Celtic for Battle? Anthony Durham & Michael Goormachtigh www.proto-english.org/catu.pdf First published March 2012, this version revised to 31 October 2019 Summary Many ancient proper names contain an element Catu- (or something similar), which is usually assumed to be Celtic for ‘battle’. A comprehensive survey of where and how ancient names containing cat, cad, etc actually occurred contradicts that assumption. Those names mainly derive from the local topography where particular tribes lived, not from the personal characteristics of individuals. Tribal names such as Caturiges, Cadurci, Catalauni, and Catubrini mapped mainly to areas such as Lusitania, Aquitania, Liguria, Belgica, and Venetia and not to areas near Atlantic coasts that were Celtic in a modern linguistic sense. Catu- emerges as a general Indo-European word element, related to Greek κατα ‘downwards’, particularly applied to lowland valleys, and perhaps best translated in English by ‘basin’. One of its descendants may be an element usually interpreted as ‘woods’ in British place names. Introduction It is widely believed that a single Celtic or Gaulish language was spoken across much of ancient continental Europe.
