Religion, Politics, and Propaganda in the Autobiography of Lucius Cornelius Sulla Sulla and the Gods: Religion, Politics, and Propaganda in the Autobiography of Lucius Cornelius Sulla Fiona Mary Noble Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology Newcastle University June 2014 Abstract Lucius Cornelius Sulla wrote an autobiographical account of his controversial career which, although it was left incomplete on his death in 78 BC, nonetheless had an incalculably significant influence on writers during the subsequent centuries. The Autobiography has not survived intact, but the twenty-three remaining fragments reveal a great deal about the original structure and contents of the work. Through the medium of commentaries on each of the fragments, this thesis considers the function and role of this lost text in Sulla’s self- representation strategy. Sulla was a man who was intensely interested in and concerned with managing the ways in which he was perceived both by his contemporaries and by posterity; although the evidence for this strategy is diverse and problematic, it is nevertheless possible to reconstruct the most important ways in which Sulla engaged with different groups. Through coinage, inscriptions, monuments, and nomenclature, Sulla exerted great effort in establishing a public image of himself as a man favoured by the gods, justified in his actions, and whose actions had brought great prosperity to Rome; this was so intricate and thorough that it can be termed ‘propaganda’. It was in the Autobiography, however, that Sulla was able to develop these themes. By presenting a comprehensive reconsideration of his life and career, Sulla was able to create a complex character portrait of himself, and engaged in self-justification, confronting many of the negative interpretations of his actions that had already begun to develop. Through analysis of the fragments of the Autobiography, therefore, this thesis asks important questions concerning the nature of self-representation and propaganda in the late Republic and the role of religious discourse within political negotiation in this period, and offers new insights into the intellectual world of Rome in the early first century BC. i Acknowledgements Thanks are owed to several people who have helped me enormously in the preparation of this thesis. Harriet Flower, Tony Ñaco del Hoyo, Federico Santangelo and Alexander Thein very kindly shared unpublished articles with me, which informed the discussion on a number of topics. A particular debt is owed to Tim Cornell and Christopher Smith, who were extremely generous in allowing me access to their edition of the fragments of Sulla’s Autobiography, from the then-forthcoming Fragments of the Roman Historians (ed. T. Cornell, Oxford 2013), eighteen months before its eventual publication. This invaluable study allowed me to compose my commentaries without covering the same ground as their work and, although we have used the fragments of the Autobiography in very different ways, observing their methods of writing commentaries on this material was exceedingly helpful. Several colleagues at Newcastle discussed specific matters with me, including David Creese, Tony Spawforth, and Jaap Wisse, and I found inspiration aplenty in the lively Classics and Ancient History Research Seminar series. Thanks are also owed to Claudia Baldoli, Alan Beale, Barbara Cochrane, Tim Kirk, and Susanna Phillippo for their kind assistance and encouragement. Moral support in abundance was provided by the school’s postgraduate community– the PhD office was a great source of entertainment and advice, in a fantastic scholarly atmosphere. The librarians of the Robinson Library and the School office staff (especially Sandra Fletcher) were extremely helpful. The greatest thanks are owed to my supervisor, Federico Santangelo, whose enthusiasm, encouragement and expertise made my PhD a thoroughly enjoyable experience. There is no question that this thesis would not have seen completion without his help, which was offered freely and with the utmost wisdom and humour throughout my studies at Newcastle. Finally, I would like to dedicate this thesis to my parents, who have supported me throughout my education in more ways than I could possibly count. ii Contents Abstract .............................................................................................................................. i Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................... ii Contents ........................................................................................................................... iii Abbreviations .................................................................................................................... v Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 1 The development of autobiography in the late Republic .............................................. 1 The Autobiography in Sulla’s career ........................................................................... 16 The language of Sulla’s Autobiography ...................................................................... 22 The ancient title of Sulla’s Autobiography .................................................................. 24 Why Autobiography? .................................................................................................. 28 The fragments of Sulla’s Autobiography .................................................................... 30 Scholarship on Sulla’s Autobiography: a brief review ................................................ 32 Aims, intentions, and methodology ............................................................................. 40 Commentaries ................................................................................................................. 44 Commentary on F1P – Plut.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis compares Umbria before and after the Roman conquest in order to assess the impact of the imposition of Roman control over this area of central Italy. There are four sections specifically on Umbria and two more general chapters of introduction and conclusion. The introductory chapter examines the most important issues for the history of the Italian regions in this period and the extent to which they are relevant to Umbria, given the type of evidence that survives. The chapter focuses on the concept of state formation, and the information about it provided by evidence for urbanisation, coinage, and the creation of treaties. The second chapter looks at the archaeological and other available evidence for the history of Umbria before the Roman conquest, and maps the beginnings of the formation of the state through the growth in social complexity, urbanisation and the emergence of cult places.

First mention is made of them about 330 B C when they were • described as living between the Rhine and the Baltic Sea. They were said to be of tall stature fair complexion and to have yellow or red hair. They were of great strength and fond of fighting. Their homes were among the trees in rude huts. The women were required to do most of the work. The next account of them is in 113 B C when the Cimbri and Teutons in­ vaded northern Italy and cut to pieces several Roman armies. They were however checked by the 'Roman Consul Marius at the battle of Vercellae a few years later. When Caesar began his campaigns in Gaul in 58 B C he found great numbers of .the Teutons south of the Rhine. After many hard fought battles he defeated them and drove them back across the Rhine. Caesar was the first writer to call the Teutons Germans. After this the German tribes though not subdued were kept in check by the Romans until A D 9 when the Roman general Varus attempted to con­ quer them fully. For this purpose he led an army of 20,000 men against them. This army was destroyed by lhe Germans under Hermann in the Teutoburg Forest in Germany., During the next four hundred years Rome and the various branches of the Germanic peoples contended for supremacy.

  • Introduction: Missing Years
    Cambridge University Press 0521855829 - Caesar’s Legacy: Civil War and the Emergence of the Roman Empire Josiah Osgood Excerpt More information Introduction: missing years As a youth, the future emperor Claudius set out to write the recent history of Rome and, with initial encouragement from Livy, then the greatest living historian, produced an account that began with the assassination of Julius Caesar. Some were less supportive. Claudius’ mother, Antonia, and grandmother, Livia, repeatedly criticized his efforts; he could not write as frankly as he wished. Thus warned, Claudius left in his final version the assassination and its immediate aftermath, but omitted everything that 1 happened in the civil wars that followed: an eloquent silence. This book is in one sense an effort to recover what Claudius left out and why. Its reader will have to face up to the killing squads, the land confiscations, the famine, the propaganda, the agonizing dilemmas of these years. But I have not set out to write the kind of political narrative Claudius would have produced. For if the emperor has been one inspiration, another has been Vergil, whose first and ninth Eclogues exemplify how civil war swept through the lives of ordinary Italians during Claudius’ missing years. My work too aims to retrieve the men and women who fought and endured the bloody struggles that beset the Roman world under the triumvirate of Mark Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus. It is all too easy in writing about these years to focus only on high politics and constitutional questions, and the results become depressingly top-heavy.

  • 11Ffi ELOGIA of the AUGUSTAN FORUM
    THEELOGIA OF THE AUGUSTAN FORUM 11ffi ELOGIA OF THE AUGUSTAN FORUM By BRAD JOHNSON, BA A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Brad Johnson, August 2001 MASTER OF ARTS (2001) McMaster University (Classics) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Elogia of the Augustan Forum AUTHOR: Brad Johnson, B.A. (McMaster University), B.A. Honours (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Claude Eilers NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 122 II ABSTRACT The Augustan Forum contained the statues offamous leaders from Rome's past. Beneath each statue an inscription was appended. Many of these inscriptions, known also as elogia, have survived. They record the name, magistracies held, and a brief account of the achievements of the individual. The reasons why these inscriptions were included in the Forum is the focus of this thesis. This thesis argues, through a detailed analysis of the elogia, that Augustus employed the inscriptions to propagate an image of himself as the most distinguished, and successful, leader in the history of Rome. III ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Claude Eilers, for not only suggesting this topic, but also for his patience, constructive criticism, sense of humour, and infinite knowledge of all things Roman. Many thanks to the members of my committee, Dr. Evan Haley and Dr. Peter Kingston, who made time in their busy schedules to be part of this process. To my parents, lowe a debt that is beyond payment. Their support, love, and encouragement throughout the years is beyond description.

  • Reconstructing the Ancient Urban Landscape in a Long-Lived City: the Asculum Project – Combining Research, Territorial Planning and Preventative Archaeology
    Archeologia e Calcolatori 28.2, 2017, 301-309 RECONSTRUCTING THE ANCIENT URBAN LANDSCAPE IN A LONG-LIVED CITY: THE ASCULUM PROJECT – COMBINING RESEARCH, TERRITORIAL PLANNING AND PREVENTATIVE ARCHAEOLOGY 1. The Asculum Project. Aims, methods and landscape In recent years the University of Bologna has gained valuable experience in the field of archaeological impact assessment and development-led archae- ology. This has been achieved within studies focused on the phenomenon of cities and urban life in antiquity, this being one of the long-standing lines of research pursued by the University’s Department of History and Cultures (Boschi 2016a). Within this general line of investigation the Asculum Project was initiated as an agreed cooperation between the University, the former Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici delle Marche and the Municipality of Ascoli Piceno, primarily as a project of urban and preventative archaeology in a long-lived city. Through that cooperation the Asculum Project aims to generate new knowledge and understanding about the past of this important city while at the same time playing an active role in the planning process within a func- tioning urban landscape, producing benefits for a wide range of interests and helping to reconcile the needs of preservation and research within the ambit of sustainable urban development. The city of Ascoli Piceno is situated in the heart of the ancient region of Picenum within the valley of the River Tronto that provides a natural com- munication route by way of the Gole del Velino to the Tiber and thence to the Tyrrhenian side of the Italian peninsula. The city originated as the main settlement of the Piceni culture, during the Iron Age, at the confluence of the River Tronto and its smaller tributary the River Castellano.

    Governors of Asia in the Nineties B.C. Sumner, G V Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Jan 1, 1978; 19, 2; Periodicals Archive Online pg. 147 Governors of Asia in the Nineties B.C. G. V. Sumner HE CASE for attaching the governorship of Q. Mucius P.f. Scaevola T to his consulship (95 B.C.) is not as good as the case for connecting it with his praetorship. The decisive point is that, according to Asconius (15 Clark), Scaevola as consul vetoed the senatus consultum granting his colleague a triumph (late 95) and had refused to take up his own province.1 Scaevola, then, did not administer a consular province, and his administration of Asia must have been a praetorian provincia. Asia, of course, normally was a praetorian province in this period. The date of Scaevola's praetorship happens not to be attested, but it can be defined within close limits by reference to the normal oper­ ation of the cursus honorum. He and L. Crassus were aequales and were colleagues in the quaestorship, curule aedilate, praetorship and con­ sulate (Cic. Brut. 145, 161), and this suggests that their careers followed the normal pattern particularly closely. They were both born in 140,2 so could not have held the praetorship before 100. By virtue of the requisite biennium between praetorship and consulate they could not have been praetors after 98, since they were consuls in 95. Of the three years 100, 99 and 98, the least likely is 100, but there is no obvious reason to prefer 98 over 99, or vice versa.

    Virgil, Aeneid 11 (Pallas & Camilla) 1–224, 498–521, 532–96, 648–89, 725–835 G Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and commentary ILDENHARD INGO GILDENHARD AND JOHN HENDERSON A dead boy (Pallas) and the death of a girl (Camilla) loom over the opening and the closing part of the eleventh book of the Aeneid. Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the AND book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parti es revisit yesterday’s killing fi elds to att end to their dead. One casualty in parti cular commands att enti on: Aeneas’ protégé H Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father ENDERSON Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundati onal act of sacrifi cial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefi gured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the marti al arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the fi nal third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the batt lefi eld but on gender stereotypes and the conventi ons of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death. In the porti ons of the book selected for discussion here, Virgil off ers some of his most emoti ve (and disturbing) meditati ons on the tragic nature of human existence – but also knows how to lighten the mood with a bit of drag.
