  • 1 Settlement Patterns in Roman Galicia
    Settlement Patterns in Roman Galicia: Late Iron Age – Second Century AD Jonathan Wynne Rees Thesis submitted in requirement of fulfilments for the degree of Ph.D. in Archaeology, at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London University of London 2012 1 I, Jonathan Wynne Rees confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis examines the changes which occurred in the cultural landscapes of northwest Iberia, between the end of the Iron Age and the consolidation of the region by both the native elite and imperial authorities during the early Roman empire. As a means to analyse the impact of Roman power on the native peoples of northwest Iberia five study areas in northern Portugal were chosen, which stretch from the mountainous region of Trás-os-Montes near the modern-day Spanish border, moving west to the Tâmega Valley and the Atlantic coastal area. The divergent physical environments, different social practices and political affinities which these diverse regions offer, coupled with differing levels of contact with the Roman world, form the basis for a comparative examination of the area. In seeking to analyse the transformations which took place between the Late pre-Roman Iron Age and the early Roman period historical, archaeological and anthropological approaches from within Iberian academia and beyond were analysed. From these debates, three key questions were formulated, focusing on

Filología Griega y Lingüística Indoeuropea, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Abstract Although there is no direct extant record of the language spoken by any of the peoples of ancient Callaecia, some linguistic information can be recovered through the analysis of the names (personal names, names of deities, ethnonyms, and place-names) that occur in Latin inscriptions and in ancient Greek and Latin sources. These names prove the presence of speakers of a Celtic language in this area, but there are also names of other origins. Keywords Onomastics, place-names, Palaeohispanic languages, epigraphy, historical linguistics 1. Introduction1 In this paper I will try to provide a general overview of the linguistic situation in ancient Callaecia by analyzing the linguistic evidence provided both by the literary and the epigraphic sources available in this westernmost area of continental Europe.

  • Jobs in Roman Spain
    JOBS IN ROMAN SPAIN Leonard A. Curchin A l'économie? L'épitaphe peut-être révélera un métier ignoré. (Marc Bloch, Apologie pour l'histoire [Paris 1952] 73) While the range of occupations attested for residents of the city of Rome has been the subject of several studies,1 considerably less attention has been focused upon jobs in the provinces. This disparity may be due partly to an understandably greater interest in the imperial capital than in peripheral regions, but also and perhaps chiefly to the fact that the columbaria of Rome provide convenient, "closed" samples of inscriptions from a single city within limited chronological bounds, whereas the epigraphic evidence (which is by far the largest segment of testimony)2 for provincial jobs, being scattered over vast geographical tracts and extensive periods of time, is far less diagnostic. An analysis of the epitaphs from a single provincial city would in most cases yield only a handful of jobs, while an attempted study of a chronologically restricted sample would be considerably impeded by our inability to date closely the majority of the inscriptions. For better or worse, then, all the inscriptions of a province or region should be studied as a whole, preferably in constant comparison with avail- able literary and iconographie evidence, and the provincial historian may thereby hope to reap a large selection of job titles from his chosen bailiwick.3 32 33 The present paper examines the types of jobs attested for the residents of Spain from the advent of the Romans in the late third century B.C.

  • Povoamento E Rede Viária No Território De Influência De Aquae Flaviae
    CAPÍTULO 6 Povoamento e rede viária no território de influência de Francisco Sande Lemos* carla maria braz MARTINS** * Arqueólogo (PhD – Pré-História e História da Antiguidade). ** CITCEM/ICS-UM. Bolseira da FCT (BPD). Colaboradora externa da FEUP. MINERAÇÃO E POVOAMENTO NA ANTIGUIDADE NO ALTO TRÁS-OS-MONTES OCIDENTAL 1. Introdução Há uma extensa bibliografia, e numerosos equívocos, sobre o que se convencionou designar como “romanização” do Noroeste da Península Ibérica, ou seja a integração dos chamados “populi” do território a Norte do Douro e a Oeste do Elba no Império Romano e as consequentes mudanças na matriz territorial, estrutura económica e social e paisagem. Na verdade não é seguro afirmar que os “romanos” pretendiam “romanizar” as socie- dades que dominavam. Tal como outros impérios também Roma se limitou a manipular sistemas políticos, religiosos e culturais autóctones, como modo de consolidar o seu poder nos territórios conquistados. Aliás cada império tem os seus mecanismos próprios de apropriação do espaço, dos recursos naturais e humanos, bem como dinâmicas específicas (Gardner 2007). Em texto anterior (Lemos 2004a) tentou-se definir as componentes essenciais do modus operandi da “máquina imperial” de Roma no Noroeste da Península Ibérica, as quais determinaram uma nova divisão do espaço, através de: uma complexa malha viária; uma rede de civitates e sistema tributário (Orejas et alii 2000); hierarquia e diversificação dos tipos de habitat (Martins 1995; Martins et alii 2005); um aproveitamento sistemático dos recursos, designadamente os mineiros (Orejas e Sánchez-Palência 2002; Martins 2008; Lemos e Martins 2008). A zona de influência de Aquae Flaviae, pelas suas características geográficas e recur- sos, bem como pela sua anterior organização no período da II Idade do Ferro, é um exce- lente caso de estudo para se analisar o modo diferenciado como actuou a “máquina” posta em movimento pelo poder romano.

  • Cults and Religious Integration in the Roman Cities of the Drava Valley (Southern Pannonia)
    CULTS AND RELIGIOUS INTEGRATION IN THE ROMAN CITIES OF THE DRAVA VALLEY (SOUTHERN PANNONIA) BY BLANKA MIŠIĆ A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF CLASSICS AND PHILOSOPHY ROYAL HOLLOWAY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON JANUARY 2013 1 DECLARATION OF AUTORSHIP I, Blanka Mišić, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Signed: ______________________ Dated: _______________________ 2 For my dearest parents. 3 ABSTRACT This work is a detailed examination of pagan cults and deities in three settlements along the Pannonian section of the Drava river (Aquae Iasae – modern Varaždinske Toplice; Iovia- Botivo – modern Ludbreg; and Mursa – modern Osijek) situated within the present-day territory of Croatia. The evidence examined consists primarily of inscribed votive dedications in stone, dating from the Roman conquest of Pannonia to the late third century A.D. Evidence is examined within the theoretical framework of cultural change, taking into account recent theoretical developments in the concepts of “Romanisation”, acculturation, identity- expression and syncretisation in order to determine the extent of cultural and religious integration along the Drava. A thorough examination of evidence reveals the emergence of differing and flexible religious identities specific to each settlement although united by the larger prevailing trend of nature-divinity worship. Our Drava evidence also reveals that economic, social, political and geographic factors all produced an impact on the process and extent of cultural and religious integration, thus helping to form local, regional, provincial and imperial expressions of identity(ies). 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1005562 A GIS-BASED ANALYSIS OF THE RATIONALE BEHIND ROMAN ROADS. THE CASE OF THE SO-CALLED VIA XVII (NW IBERIAN PENINSULA) João Fonte1, 2, César Parcero-Oubiña1 and José Manuel Costa-García3, 4 1 Instituto de Ciencias del Patrimonio (Incipit), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Spain 2 Department of Archaeology, University of Exeter, UK 3 Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Spain 4 Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands Received: 06/07/2017 Accepted: 01/10/2017 Corresponding author: César Parcero-Oubiña ([email protected]) ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to dig deeper in order to gain a better understanding of the territorial logic of Roman roads, following some recent approaches based on the use of digital modelling tools. Taking the case of the so-called via XVII (a ca. 330 km itinerary which joined Bracara Augusta and Asturica Augusta, NW Iberian Peninsula), the paper explores various factors, both natural and cultural, which may have been determinant in the layout of main roads in the Roman period. This study has followed a non-reconstructive methodology based on the theoretical idea of "least-cost paths" implemented by way of GIS tools. The analysis combines different variables which have an impact on human mobility (such as terrain slope and altitude, and the a priori existence of some primary nodes) and different spatial scales of analysis. As an outcome, we have achieved a detailed understanding of the factors behind the layout of this road and, in doing so, we have also drawn some conclusions regarding the historical context of its origin and development.

  • From Hagiography to Celtic Cosmology: Archaeoastronomy and Christian Landscape in Ourense (Nw Spain)
    Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry, Vol. 16, No 4,(2016), pp.447-454 Copyright © 2016 MAA Open Access. Printed in Greece. All rights reserved. 10.5281/zenodo.220969 FROM HAGIOGRAPHY TO CELTIC COSMOLOGY: ARCHAEOASTRONOMY AND CHRISTIAN LANDSCAPE IN OURENSE (NW SPAIN) A. César González García1, Marco V. García Quintela2 1 Institute of Heritage Sciences, Incipit-CSIC 2 University of Santiago de Compostela Received: 22/02/2016 Accepted: 23/03/2016 Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The cult of Santa Mariña is very popular in the region of Galicia, in northwest Spain. According to tradition, she was born and martyred in two sites at the heart of the modern-day province of Ourense: she was born and grew up around the lagoon of Antela, and was martyred in the parish of Santa Mariña de Augas Santas, where she performed miracles and where her tomb is still preserved. Both places are located in the territory of the Limici, a pre-Roman Celtic tribe, and contain a remarkable amount of archaeological material from the Iron Age and Roman times. An archaeoastronomical study has revealed that the most important archaeolog- ical sites have a number of significant solar and lunar relationships attributable to the Celtic tradition (lu- nistices, Celtic mid-season festivals, the cosmos divided into three levels). Christianity preserved these struc- tures through the feast dates of the saints worshipped in different parishes and other places, and their ar- rangement in different local landscapes. Episodes of Mariña‟s life and her places of worship are important because they coincide with significant points in the astronomical alignments that have been detected.

Introdução: A rede viária romana é um tema recorrente dos estudos antiquários e da Arqueologia, desde o Renascimento. Assim, a colecção de miliários mandada reunir pelo arcebispo D. Diogo de Sousa no Campo de Sant’Ana, em redor de uma capela, conforme ficou registado no mapa de Braga, de Georg Braun (1594), simboliza o início de uma linha de estudos que perdurou ao longo das Idades Moderna e Contemporânea1. Na mesma época há referências aos caminhos romanos na conhecida obra do letrado João de Barros, Antiguidades de Entre Douro e Minho e Trás-os-Montes. Durante os séculos XVII e XVIII a Igreja desempenhou uma função destacada neste domínio. Por um lado, a Igreja Bracarense afirmava, deste modo, a sua importância como centro religioso e cultural de um vasto território.
